Detailed Description

TLS provider.

Note
This class is part of the provider plugin interface and should not be used directly by applications. You probably want TLS instead.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Result of a TLS operation.

Enumerator
Success 

Operation completed.

Error 

Operation failed.

Continue 

More data needed to complete operation.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QCA::TLSContext::TLSContext ( Provider p,
const QString &  type 
)
inline

Standard constructor.

Parameters
pthe Provider associated with this context
typethe name of the type of feature that supported by this context

Member Function Documentation

virtual void QCA::TLSContext::reset ( )
pure virtual

Reset the object to its initial state.

virtual QStringList QCA::TLSContext::supportedCipherSuites ( const TLS::Version version) const
pure virtual

Returns a list of supported cipher suites for the specified SSL/TLS version.

The cipher suites are specified as strings, for example: "TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA" (without quotes).

Parameters
versionthe version of TLS to search for
virtual bool QCA::TLSContext::canCompress ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns true if the provider supports compression.

virtual bool QCA::TLSContext::canSetHostName ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns true if the provider supports server name indication.

virtual int QCA::TLSContext::maxSSF ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the maximum SSF supported by this provider.

virtual void QCA::TLSContext::setup ( bool  serverMode,
const QString &  hostName,
bool  compress 
)
pure virtual

Configure a new session.

This function will be called before any other configuration functions.

Parameters
serverModewhether to operate as a server (true) or client (false)
hostNamethe hostname to use
compresswhether to compress (true) or not (false)
virtual void QCA::TLSContext::setConstraints ( int  minSSF,
int  maxSSF 
)
pure virtual

Set the constraints of the session using SSF values.

This function will be called before start().

Parameters
minSSFthe minimum strength factor that is acceptable
maxSSFthe maximum strength factor that is acceptable
virtual void QCA::TLSContext::setConstraints ( const QStringList &  cipherSuiteList)
pure virtual

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.Set the constraints of the session using a cipher suite list.

This function will be called before start().

Parameters
cipherSuiteListthe list of cipher suites that may be used for this session.

supportedCipherSuites
virtual void QCA::TLSContext::setTrustedCertificates ( const CertificateCollection trusted)
pure virtual

Set the list of trusted certificates.

This function may be called at any time.

Parameters
trustedthe trusted certificates and CRLs to be used.
virtual void QCA::TLSContext::setIssuerList ( const QList< CertificateInfoOrdered > &  issuerList)
pure virtual

Set the list of acceptable issuers.

This function may be called at any time.

This function is for server mode only.

Parameters
issuerListthe list of issuers that may be used
virtual void QCA::TLSContext::setCertificate ( const CertificateChain cert,
const PrivateKey key 
)
pure virtual

Set the local certificate.

This function may be called at any time.

Parameters
certthe certificate and associated trust chain
keythe private key for the local certificate
virtual void QCA::TLSContext::setSessionId ( const TLSSessionContext id)
pure virtual

Set the TLS session id, for session resuming.

This function will be called before start().

Parameters
idthe session identification
virtual void QCA::TLSContext::shutdown ( )
pure virtual

Sets the session to the shutdown state.

The actual shutdown operation will happen at a future call to update().

This function is for normal TLS only (not DTLS).

virtual void QCA::TLSContext::setMTU ( int  size)
virtual

Set the maximum transmission unit size.

This function is for DTLS only.

Parameters
sizethe maximum number of bytes in a datagram
virtual void QCA::TLSContext::start ( )
pure virtual

Begins the session, starting with the handshake.

This function returns immediately, and completion is signaled with the resultsReady() signal.

On completion, the result() function will return Success if the TLS session is able to begin, or Error if there is a failure to initialize the TLS subsystem. If successful, the session is now in the handshake state, and update() will be called repeatedly until the session ends.

virtual void QCA::TLSContext::update ( const QByteArray &  from_net,
const QByteArray &  from_app 
)
pure virtual

Performs one iteration of the TLS session processing.

This function returns immediately, and completion is signaled with the resultsReady() signal.

If the session is in a handshake state, result() and to_net() will be valid. If result() is Success, then the session is now in the connected state.

If the session is in a shutdown state, result() and to_net() will be valid. If result() is Success, then the session has ended.

If the session is in a connected state, result(), to_net(), encoded(), to_app(), and eof() are valid. The result() function will return Success or Error. Note that eof() does not apply to DTLS.

For DTLS, this function operates with single packets. Many update() operations must be performed repeatedly to exchange multiple packets.

Parameters
from_netthe data from the "other side" of the connection
from_appthe data from the application of the protocol
virtual bool QCA::TLSContext::waitForResultsReady ( int  msecs)
pure virtual

Waits for a start() or update() operation to complete.

In this case, the resultsReady() signal is not emitted. Returns true if the operation completed or false if this function times out.

This function is blocking.

Parameters
msecsnumber of milliseconds to wait (-1 to wait forever)
virtual Result QCA::TLSContext::result ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the result code of an operation.

virtual QByteArray QCA::TLSContext::to_net ( )
pure virtual

Returns data that should be sent across the network.

virtual int QCA::TLSContext::encoded ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the number of bytes of plaintext data that is encoded inside of to_net()

virtual QByteArray QCA::TLSContext::to_app ( )
pure virtual

Returns data that is decoded from the network and should be processed by the application.

virtual bool QCA::TLSContext::eof ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns true if the peer has closed the stream.

virtual bool QCA::TLSContext::clientHelloReceived ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns true if the TLS client hello has been received.

This is only valid if a handshake is in progress or completed.

virtual bool QCA::TLSContext::serverHelloReceived ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns true if the TLS server hello has been received.

This is only valid if a handshake is in progress or completed.

virtual QString QCA::TLSContext::hostName ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the host name sent by the client using server name indication (server mode only)

This is only valid if a handshake is in progress or completed.

virtual bool QCA::TLSContext::certificateRequested ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns true if the peer is requesting a certificate.

This is only valid if a handshake is in progress or completed.

virtual QList<CertificateInfoOrdered> QCA::TLSContext::issuerList ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the issuer list sent by the server (client mode only)

This is only valid if a handshake is in progress or completed.

virtual Validity QCA::TLSContext::peerCertificateValidity ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the QCA::Validity of the peer certificate.

This is only valid if a handshake is completed.

virtual CertificateChain QCA::TLSContext::peerCertificateChain ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the peer certificate chain.

This is only valid if a handshake is completed.

virtual SessionInfo QCA::TLSContext::sessionInfo ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns information about the active TLS session.

This is only valid if a handshake is completed.

virtual QByteArray QCA::TLSContext::unprocessed ( )
pure virtual

Returns any unprocessed network input data.

This is only valid after a successful shutdown.

void QCA::TLSContext::resultsReady ( )
signal

Emit this when a start() or update() operation has completed.

void QCA::TLSContext::dtlsTimeout ( )
signal

Emit this to force the application to call update(), even with empty arguments.
