<h3><a name="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></h3>

<p>This extension provides a generic binding to <a
href="http://www.openssl.org/">OpenSSL</a>, utilizing the
<strong>Tcl_StackChannel</strong>
API for Tcl 8.2 and higher. The sockets behave exactly the same
as channels created using Tcl's built-in <strong>socket</strong>
command with additional options for controlling the SSL session.
To use TLS with an earlier version of Tcl than 8.4, please obtain
TLS 1.3.
TclTLS
</p>

======
<h3><a name="COMMANDS">COMMANDS</a></h3>

<p>Typically one would use the <strong>tls::socket </strong>command
which provides compatibility with the native Tcl <strong>socket</strong>
command. In such cases <strong>tls::import</strong> should not be
used directly.</p>

<dl>
    <dt><a name="tls::init"><b>tls::init </b><i>?options?</i></a></dt>
    <dd>This routine sets the default options used by <strong>tls::socket</strong>
        and is <em>optional</em>. If you call <strong>tls::import</strong>
        directly this routine has no effect. Any of the options
        that <strong>tls::socket</strong> accepts can be set
        using this command, though you should limit your options
        to only TLS related ones.</dd>
    <dt>&nbsp;</dt>
    <dt><a name="tls::socket"><b>tls::socket </b><em>?options?
        host port</em></a></dt>
    <dt><b>tls::socket</b><em> ?-server command? ?options? port</em></dt>
    <dd>This is a helper function that utilizes the underlying
        commands (<strong>tls::import</strong>). It behaves
        exactly the same as the native Tcl <strong>socket</strong>
        command except that the options can include any of the
        applicable <a href="#tls::import"><strong>tls:import</strong></a>
        options.</dd>
    <dt>&nbsp;</dt>
    <dt><a name="tls::handshake"><strong>tls::handshake</strong> <em>channel</em></a></dt>
    <dd>Forces handshake to take place, and returns 0 if
        handshake is still in progress (non-blocking), or 1 if
        the handshake was successful. If the handshake failed
        this routine will throw an error.</dd>
    <dt>&nbsp;</dt>
    <dt><a name="tls::status"><strong>tls::status</strong>
    <em>?-local? channel</em></a></dt>
    <dd>Returns the current security status of an SSL channel. The
        result is a list of key-value pairs describing the
        connected peer. If the result is an empty list then the
        SSL handshake has not yet completed.
        If <em>-local</em> is given, then the certificate information
        is the one used locally.</dd>

<h3><a name="CALLBACK OPTIONS">CALLBACK OPTIONS</a></h3>

<p>
As indicated above, individual channels can be given their own callbacks
to handle intermediate processing by the OpenSSL library, using the
<em>-command</em> and <em>-password</em> options passed to either of
<strong>tls::socket</strong> or <strong>tls::import</strong>.

<blockquote>
<dl>

    <dt><strong>-command</strong> <em>callback</em></dt>
    <dd>
	Invokes the specified <em>callback</em> script at
	several points during the OpenSSL handshake.
	Except as indicated below, values returned from the
	callback are ignored.
	Arguments appended to the script upon callback take one of the
	following forms:

	<br>
	<br>

	<dl>

<!--	This form of callback is disabled.

	<dt>
	  <strong>error</strong> <em>channel message</em>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	  The <em>message</em> argument contains an error message generated
	  by the OpenSSL function
	  <code>ERR_reason_error_string()</code>.
	</dd>

	<br>
-->

	<dt>
	  <strong>info</strong> <em>channel major minor message</em>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	  This form of callback is invoked by the OpenSSL function
	  <code>SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()</code>.
	  <br>
	  The <em>major</em> and <em>minor</em> arguments are used to
	  represent the state information bitmask.
	  <dl>
	  <dt>Possible values for <em>major</em> are:</dt>
	  <dd><code>handshake, alert, connect, accept</code>.</dd>
	  <dt>Possible values for <em>minor</em> are:</dt>
	  <dd><code>start, done, read, write, loop, exit</code>.</dd>
	  </dl>
	  The <em>message</em> argument is a descriptive string which may
	  be generated either by
	  <code>SSL_state_string_long()</code> or by
	  <code>SSL_alert_desc_string_long()</code>,
	  depending on context.
	</dd>

	<br>

	<dt>
	  <strong>verify</strong> <em>channel depth cert status error</em>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	  This form of callback is invoked by the OpenSSL function
	  <code>SSL_set_verify()</code>.
	  <br>
	  The <em>depth</em> argument is an integer representing the
	  current depth on the certificate chain, with
	  <code>0</code> as the subject certificate and higher values
	  denoting progressively more indirect issuer certificates.
	  <br>
	  The <em>cert</em> argument is a list of key-value pairs similar
	  to those returned by
	  <a href="#tls::status"><strong>tls::status</strong></a>.
	  <br>
	  The <em>status</em> argument is an integer representing the
	  current validity of the certificate.
	  A value of <code>0</code> means the certificate is deemed invalid.
	  A value of <code>1</code> means the certificate is deemed valid.
	  <br>
	  The <em>error</em> argument supplies the message, if any, generated
	  by
	  <code>X509_STORE_CTX_get_error()</code>.
	  <br>
	  <br>
	  The callback may override normal validation processing by explicitly
	  returning one of the above <em>status</em> values.

    <dt><strong>-password</strong> <em>callback</em></dt>
    <dd>
	Invokes the specified <em>callback</em> script when OpenSSL needs to
	obtain a password.  The callback should return a string which
	represents the password to be used.
	No arguments are appended to the script upon callback.
    </dd>

<p>
Reference implementations of these callbacks are provided in the
distribution as <strong>tls::callback</strong> and
<strong>tls::password</strong> respectively.  Note that these are
<em>sample</em> implementations only.  In a more realistic deployment
you would specify your own callback scripts on each TLS channel
using the <em>-command</em> and <em>-password</em> options.
</p>

<p>
The default behavior when the <em>-command</em> option is not specified is for
TLS to process the associated library callbacks internally.
The default behavior when the <em>-password</em> option is not specified is for
TLS to process the associated library callbacks by attempting to call
<strong>tls::password</strong>.
The difference between these two behaviors is a consequence of maintaining
compatibility with earlier implementations.
</p>

<p>
The <strong>tls::debug</strong> variable provides some additional
control over these reference callbacks.  Its value is zero by default.
Higher values produce more diagnostic output, and will also force the
verify method in <strong>tls::callback</strong> to accept the
certificate, even when it is invalid.
</p>

<p>
<em>
The use of the reference callbacks <strong>tls::callback</strong> and
<strong>tls::password</strong> is not recommended.  They may be removed
from future releases.

The use of the variable <strong>tls::debug</strong> is not recommended.

<h3><a name="SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS">SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS</a></h3>

<p>The capabilities of this package can vary enormously based
upon how your OpenSSL library was configured and built. At the
most macro-level OpenSSL supports a &quot;no patents&quot; build,
which disables RSA, IDEA, RC(2,4,5) and SSL2 - if your OpenSSL is
configured this way then you will need to build TLS with the
-DNO_PATENTS option - and the resultant module will function
correctly and also support ADH certificate-less encryption,
however you will be unable to utilize this to speak to normal Web
Servers, which typically require RSA support. Please see <a
href="http://www.openssl.org/">http://www.openssl.org/</a> for
more information on the whole issue of patents and US export
restrictions. </p>
