Detailed Description

Transport Layer Security / Secure Socket Layer.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the current state-of-the-art in secure transport mechanisms over the internet. It can be used in a way where only one side of the link needs to authenticate to the other. This makes it very useful for servers to provide their identity to clients. Note that is is possible to use TLS to authenticate both client and server.

TLS is a IETF standard (RFC2712 for TLS version 1.0, and RFC4346 for TLS version 1.1) based on earlier Netscape work on Secure Socket Layer (SSL version 2 and SSL version 3). New applications should use at least TLS 1.0, and SSL version 2 should be avoided due to known security problems.

Examples
sslservtest.cpp, ssltest.cpp, and tlssocket.cpp.

Emitted when the server requests a certificate.

At this time, the client can inspect the issuerList().

You must call continueAfterStep() in order for TLS processing to resume after this signal is emitted.

This signal is only emitted in client mode.

See also
continueAfterStep
Examples
ssltest.cpp.

◆ cipherBits()

int QCA::TLS::cipherBits ( ) const

The number of effective bits of security being used for this connection.

This can differ from the actual number of bits in the cipher for certain older "export ciphers" that are deliberately crippled. If you want that information, use cipherMaxBits().

Examples
ssltest.cpp.

◆ cipherMaxBits()

int QCA::TLS::cipherMaxBits ( ) const

The number of bits of security that the cipher could use.

This is normally the same as cipherBits(), but can be greater for older "export ciphers".

Examples
ssltest.cpp.

At this time, the server can inspect the hostName().

You must call continueAfterStep() in order for TLS processing to resume after this signal is emitted.

This signal is only emitted in server mode.

See also
continueAfterStep

◆ isClosable()

bool QCA::TLS::isClosable ( ) const

Note
this is only used with DTLS.

◆ peerCertificateAvailable

void QCA::TLS::peerCertificateAvailable ( )
signal

You must call continueAfterStep() in order for TLS processing to resume after this signal is emitted.

See also
continueAfterStep

◆ peerCertificateChain()

CertificateChain QCA::TLS::peerCertificateChain ( ) const

The CertificateChain from the peer (other end of the connection to the trusted root certificate).

Examples
ssltest.cpp.

◆ peerCertificateValidity()

Validity QCA::TLS::peerCertificateValidity ( ) const

After the SSL/TLS handshake is valid, this method allows you to check if the received certificate from the other end is valid.

As noted in peerIdentityResult(), you also need to check that the certificate matches the entity you are trying to communicate with.

Examples
ssltest.cpp.

◆ peerIdentityResult()

IdentityResult QCA::TLS::peerIdentityResult ( ) const

After the SSL/TLS handshake is complete, this method allows you to determine if the other end of the connection (if the application is a client, this is the server; if the application is a server, this is the client) has a valid identity.

Note that the security of TLS/SSL depends on checking this. It is not enough to check that the certificate is valid - you must check that the certificate is valid for the entity that you are trying to communicate with.

Note
If this returns QCA::TLS::InvalidCertificate, you may wish to use peerCertificateValidity() to determine whether to proceed or not.
Examples
ssltest.cpp, and tlssocket.cpp.

◆ read()

QByteArray QCA::TLS::read ( )
overridevirtual

This method reads decrypted (plain) data from the SecureLayer implementation.

You normally call this function on the application side after receiving the readyRead() signal.

Implements QCA::SecureLayer.

Examples
sslservtest.cpp, ssltest.cpp, and tlssocket.cpp.

◆ readOutgoing()

QByteArray QCA::TLS::readOutgoing ( int * plainBytes = nullptr)
overridevirtual

This method provides encoded (typically encrypted) data.

You normally call this function to get data to write out to the network socket (e.g. using QTcpSocket::write()) after receiving the readyReadOutgoing() signal.

Parameters
plainBytesthe number of bytes that were read.

Implements QCA::SecureLayer.

Examples
sslservtest.cpp, ssltest.cpp, and tlssocket.cpp.

◆ readUnprocessed()

QByteArray QCA::TLS::readUnprocessed ( )
overridevirtual

This allows you to read data without having it decrypted first.

This is intended to be used for protocols that close off the connection and return to plain text transfer. You do not normally need to use this function.

Reimplemented from QCA::SecureLayer.

◆ reset()

void QCA::TLS::reset ( )

Reset the connection.

Examples
tlssocket.cpp.

◆ session()

◆ setCertificate() [1/2]

void QCA::TLS::setCertificate ( const CertificateChain & cert,
const PrivateKey & key )

The local certificate to use.

This is the certificate that will be provided to the peer. This is almost always required on the server side (because the server has to provide a certificate to the client), and may be used on the client side.

Parameters
certa chain of certificates that link the host certificate to a trusted root certificate.
keythe private key for the certificate chain
Examples
sslservtest.cpp.

◆ setCertificate() [2/2]

void QCA::TLS::setCertificate ( const KeyBundle & kb)

Note
the names are the same as the names in the applicable IETF RFCs (or Internet Drafts if there is no applicable RFC).

◆ setConstraints() [2/3]

void QCA::TLS::setConstraints ( int minSSF,
int maxSSF )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

trusteda bundle of trusted certificates.
Examples
ssltest.cpp, and tlssocket.cpp.

◆ startClient()

void QCA::TLS::startClient ( const QString & host = QString())

Start the TLS/SSL connection as a client.

Typically, you'll want to perform RFC 2818 validation on the server's certificate, based on the hostname you're intending to connect to. Pass a value for host in order to have the validation for you. If you want to bypass this behavior and do the validation yourself, pass an empty string for host.

If the host is an internationalized domain name, then it must be provided in unicode format, not in IDNA ACE/punycode format.
