/** * @file * Main page documentation file. */ /** * @mainpage PolarSSL v1.3.0 source code documentation * * This documentation describes the internal structure of PolarSSL. It was * automatically generated from specially formatted comment blocks in * PolarSSL's source code using Doxygen. (See * http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/ for more information on Doxygen) * * PolarSSL has a simple setup: it provides the ingredients for an SSL/TLS * implementation. These ingredients are listed as modules in the * \ref mainpage_modules "Modules section". This "Modules section" introduces * the high-level module concepts used throughout this documentation.\n * Some examples of PolarSSL usage can be found in the \ref mainpage_examples * "Examples section". * * @section mainpage_modules Modules * * PolarSSL supports SSLv3 up to TLSv1.2 communication by providing the * following: * - TCP/IP communication functions: listen, connect, accept, read/write. * - SSL/TLS communication functions: init, handshake, read/write. * - X.509 functions: CRT, CRL and key handling * - Random number generation * - Hashing * - Encryption/decryption * * Above functions are split up neatly into logical interfaces. These can be * used separately to provide any of the above functions or to mix-and-match * into an SSL server/client solution that utilises a X.509 PKI. Examples of * such implementations are amply provided with the source code. * * Note that PolarSSL does not provide a control channel or (multiple) session * handling without additional work from the developer. * * @section mainpage_examples Examples * * Example server setup: * * \b Prerequisites: * - X.509 certificate and private key * - session handling functions * * \b Setup: * - Load your certificate and your private RSA key (X.509 interface) * - Setup the listening TCP socket (TCP/IP interface) * - Accept incoming client connection (TCP/IP interface) * - Initialise as an SSL-server (SSL/TLS interface) * - Set parameters, e.g. authentication, ciphers, CA-chain, key exchange * - Set callback functions RNG, IO, session handling * - Perform an SSL-handshake (SSL/TLS interface) * - Read/write data (SSL/TLS interface) * - Close and cleanup (all interfaces) * * Example client setup: * * \b Prerequisites: * - X.509 certificate and private key * - X.509 trusted CA certificates * * \b Setup: * - Load the trusted CA certificates (X.509 interface) * - Load your certificate and your private RSA key (X.509 interface) * - Setup a TCP/IP connection (TCP/IP interface) * - Initialise as an SSL-client (SSL/TLS interface) * - Set parameters, e.g. authentication mode, ciphers, CA-chain, session * - Set callback functions RNG, IO * - Perform an SSL-handshake (SSL/TLS interface) * - Verify the server certificate (SSL/TLS interface) * - Write/read data (SSL/TLS interface) * - Close and cleanup (all interfaces) */
