Package-Level Type Names (total 24)
/* sort by: | */
An AlertError is a TLS alert. When using a QUIC transport, QUICConn methods will return an error which wraps AlertError rather than sending a TLS alert. ( AlertError) Error() string AlertError : error
A Certificate is a chain of one or more certificates, leaf first. Certificate [][]byte Leaf is the parsed form of the leaf certificate, which may be initialized using x509.ParseCertificate to reduce per-handshake processing. If nil, the leaf certificate will be parsed as needed. OCSPStaple contains an optional OCSP response which will be served to clients that request it. PrivateKey contains the private key corresponding to the public key in Leaf. This must implement crypto.Signer with an RSA, ECDSA or Ed25519 PublicKey. For a server up to TLS 1.2, it can also implement crypto.Decrypter with an RSA PublicKey. SignedCertificateTimestamps contains an optional list of Signed Certificate Timestamps which will be served to clients that request it. SupportedSignatureAlgorithms is an optional list restricting what signature algorithms the PrivateKey can be used for. func LoadX509KeyPair(certFile, keyFile string) (Certificate, error) func X509KeyPair(certPEMBlock, keyPEMBlock []byte) (Certificate, error) func (*CertificateRequestInfo).SupportsCertificate(c *Certificate) error func (*ClientHelloInfo).SupportsCertificate(c *Certificate) error
CertificateRequestInfo contains information from a server's CertificateRequest message, which is used to demand a certificate and proof of control from a client. AcceptableCAs contains zero or more, DER-encoded, X.501 Distinguished Names. These are the names of root or intermediate CAs that the server wishes the returned certificate to be signed by. An empty slice indicates that the server has no preference. SignatureSchemes lists the signature schemes that the server is willing to verify. Version is the TLS version that was negotiated for this connection. Context returns the context of the handshake that is in progress. This context is a child of the context passed to HandshakeContext, if any, and is canceled when the handshake concludes. SupportsCertificate returns nil if the provided certificate is supported by the server that sent the CertificateRequest. Otherwise, it returns an error describing the reason for the incompatibility.
CertificateVerificationError is returned when certificate verification fails during the handshake. Err error UnverifiedCertificates and its contents should not be modified. (*CertificateVerificationError) Error() string (*CertificateVerificationError) Unwrap() error *CertificateVerificationError : error
CipherSuite is a TLS cipher suite. Note that most functions in this package accept and expose cipher suite IDs instead of this type. ID uint16 Insecure is true if the cipher suite has known security issues due to its primitives, design, or implementation. Name string Supported versions is the list of TLS protocol versions that can negotiate this cipher suite. func CipherSuites() []*CipherSuite func InsecureCipherSuites() []*CipherSuite
ClientAuthType declares the policy the server will follow for TLS Client Authentication. ( ClientAuthType) String() string ClientAuthType : expvar.Var ClientAuthType : fmt.Stringer const NoClientCert const RequestClientCert const RequireAndVerifyClientCert const RequireAnyClientCert const VerifyClientCertIfGiven
ClientHelloInfo contains information from a ClientHello message in order to guide application logic in the GetCertificate and GetConfigForClient callbacks. CipherSuites lists the CipherSuites supported by the client (e.g. TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256). Conn is the underlying net.Conn for the connection. Do not read from, or write to, this connection; that will cause the TLS connection to fail. ServerName indicates the name of the server requested by the client in order to support virtual hosting. ServerName is only set if the client is using SNI (see RFC 4366, Section 3.1). SignatureSchemes lists the signature and hash schemes that the client is willing to verify. SignatureSchemes is set only if the Signature Algorithms Extension is being used (see RFC 5246, Section 7.4.1.4.1). SupportedCurves lists the elliptic curves supported by the client. SupportedCurves is set only if the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension is being used (see RFC 4492, Section 5.1.1). SupportedPoints lists the point formats supported by the client. SupportedPoints is set only if the Supported Point Formats Extension is being used (see RFC 4492, Section 5.1.2). SupportedProtos lists the application protocols supported by the client. SupportedProtos is set only if the Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation Extension is being used (see RFC 7301, Section 3.1). Servers can select a protocol by setting Config.NextProtos in a GetConfigForClient return value. SupportedVersions lists the TLS versions supported by the client. For TLS versions less than 1.3, this is extrapolated from the max version advertised by the client, so values other than the greatest might be rejected if used. Context returns the context of the handshake that is in progress. This context is a child of the context passed to HandshakeContext, if any, and is canceled when the handshake concludes. SupportsCertificate returns nil if the provided certificate is supported by the client that sent the ClientHello. Otherwise, it returns an error describing the reason for the incompatibility. If this [ClientHelloInfo] was passed to a GetConfigForClient or GetCertificate callback, this method will take into account the associated [Config]. Note that if GetConfigForClient returns a different [Config], the change can't be accounted for by this method. This function will call x509.ParseCertificate unless c.Leaf is set, which can incur a significant performance cost.
ClientSessionCache is a cache of ClientSessionState objects that can be used by a client to resume a TLS session with a given server. ClientSessionCache implementations should expect to be called concurrently from different goroutines. Up to TLS 1.2, only ticket-based resumption is supported, not SessionID-based resumption. In TLS 1.3 they were merged into PSK modes, which are supported via this interface. Get searches for a ClientSessionState associated with the given key. On return, ok is true if one was found. Put adds the ClientSessionState to the cache with the given key. It might get called multiple times in a connection if a TLS 1.3 server provides more than one session ticket. If called with a nil *ClientSessionState, it should remove the cache entry. func NewLRUClientSessionCache(capacity int) ClientSessionCache
ClientSessionState contains the state needed by a client to resume a previous TLS session. ResumptionState returns the session ticket sent by the server (also known as the session's identity) and the state necessary to resume this session. It can be called by [ClientSessionCache.Put] to serialize (with [SessionState.Bytes]) and store the session. func NewResumptionState(ticket []byte, state *SessionState) (*ClientSessionState, error) func ClientSessionCache.Get(sessionKey string) (session *ClientSessionState, ok bool) func ClientSessionCache.Put(sessionKey string, cs *ClientSessionState)
A Config structure is used to configure a TLS client or server. After one has been passed to a TLS function it must not be modified. A Config may be reused; the tls package will also not modify it. Certificates contains one or more certificate chains to present to the other side of the connection. The first certificate compatible with the peer's requirements is selected automatically. Server configurations must set one of Certificates, GetCertificate or GetConfigForClient. Clients doing client-authentication may set either Certificates or GetClientCertificate. Note: if there are multiple Certificates, and they don't have the optional field Leaf set, certificate selection will incur a significant per-handshake performance cost. CipherSuites is a list of enabled TLS 1.0–1.2 cipher suites. The order of the list is ignored. Note that TLS 1.3 ciphersuites are not configurable. If CipherSuites is nil, a safe default list is used. The default cipher suites might change over time. In Go 1.22 RSA key exchange based cipher suites were removed from the default list, but can be re-added with the GODEBUG setting tlsrsakex=1. ClientAuth determines the server's policy for TLS Client Authentication. The default is NoClientCert. ClientCAs defines the set of root certificate authorities that servers use if required to verify a client certificate by the policy in ClientAuth. ClientSessionCache is a cache of ClientSessionState entries for TLS session resumption. It is only used by clients. CurvePreferences contains the elliptic curves that will be used in an ECDHE handshake, in preference order. If empty, the default will be used. The client will use the first preference as the type for its key share in TLS 1.3. This may change in the future. DynamicRecordSizingDisabled disables adaptive sizing of TLS records. When true, the largest possible TLS record size is always used. When false, the size of TLS records may be adjusted in an attempt to improve latency. GetCertificate returns a Certificate based on the given ClientHelloInfo. It will only be called if the client supplies SNI information or if Certificates is empty. If GetCertificate is nil or returns nil, then the certificate is retrieved from NameToCertificate. If NameToCertificate is nil, the best element of Certificates will be used. Once a Certificate is returned it should not be modified. GetClientCertificate, if not nil, is called when a server requests a certificate from a client. If set, the contents of Certificates will be ignored. If GetClientCertificate returns an error, the handshake will be aborted and that error will be returned. Otherwise GetClientCertificate must return a non-nil Certificate. If Certificate.Certificate is empty then no certificate will be sent to the server. If this is unacceptable to the server then it may abort the handshake. GetClientCertificate may be called multiple times for the same connection if renegotiation occurs or if TLS 1.3 is in use. Once a Certificate is returned it should not be modified. GetConfigForClient, if not nil, is called after a ClientHello is received from a client. It may return a non-nil Config in order to change the Config that will be used to handle this connection. If the returned Config is nil, the original Config will be used. The Config returned by this callback may not be subsequently modified. If GetConfigForClient is nil, the Config passed to Server() will be used for all connections. If SessionTicketKey was explicitly set on the returned Config, or if SetSessionTicketKeys was called on the returned Config, those keys will be used. Otherwise, the original Config keys will be used (and possibly rotated if they are automatically managed). InsecureSkipVerify controls whether a client verifies the server's certificate chain and host name. If InsecureSkipVerify is true, crypto/tls accepts any certificate presented by the server and any host name in that certificate. In this mode, TLS is susceptible to machine-in-the-middle attacks unless custom verification is used. This should be used only for testing or in combination with VerifyConnection or VerifyPeerCertificate. KeyLogWriter optionally specifies a destination for TLS master secrets in NSS key log format that can be used to allow external programs such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS connections. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/Key_Log_Format. Use of KeyLogWriter compromises security and should only be used for debugging. MaxVersion contains the maximum TLS version that is acceptable. By default, the maximum version supported by this package is used, which is currently TLS 1.3. MinVersion contains the minimum TLS version that is acceptable. By default, TLS 1.2 is currently used as the minimum. TLS 1.0 is the minimum supported by this package. The server-side default can be reverted to TLS 1.0 by including the value "tls10server=1" in the GODEBUG environment variable. NameToCertificate maps from a certificate name to an element of Certificates. Note that a certificate name can be of the form '*.example.com' and so doesn't have to be a domain name as such. Deprecated: NameToCertificate only allows associating a single certificate with a given name. Leave this field nil to let the library select the first compatible chain from Certificates. NextProtos is a list of supported application level protocols, in order of preference. If both peers support ALPN, the selected protocol will be one from this list, and the connection will fail if there is no mutually supported protocol. If NextProtos is empty or the peer doesn't support ALPN, the connection will succeed and ConnectionState.NegotiatedProtocol will be empty. PreferServerCipherSuites is a legacy field and has no effect. It used to control whether the server would follow the client's or the server's preference. Servers now select the best mutually supported cipher suite based on logic that takes into account inferred client hardware, server hardware, and security. Deprecated: PreferServerCipherSuites is ignored. Rand provides the source of entropy for nonces and RSA blinding. If Rand is nil, TLS uses the cryptographic random reader in package crypto/rand. The Reader must be safe for use by multiple goroutines. Renegotiation controls what types of renegotiation are supported. The default, none, is correct for the vast majority of applications. RootCAs defines the set of root certificate authorities that clients use when verifying server certificates. If RootCAs is nil, TLS uses the host's root CA set. ServerName is used to verify the hostname on the returned certificates unless InsecureSkipVerify is given. It is also included in the client's handshake to support virtual hosting unless it is an IP address. SessionTicketKey is used by TLS servers to provide session resumption. See RFC 5077 and the PSK mode of RFC 8446. If zero, it will be filled with random data before the first server handshake. Deprecated: if this field is left at zero, session ticket keys will be automatically rotated every day and dropped after seven days. For customizing the rotation schedule or synchronizing servers that are terminating connections for the same host, use SetSessionTicketKeys. SessionTicketsDisabled may be set to true to disable session ticket and PSK (resumption) support. Note that on clients, session ticket support is also disabled if ClientSessionCache is nil. Time returns the current time as the number of seconds since the epoch. If Time is nil, TLS uses time.Now. UnwrapSession is called on the server to turn a ticket/identity previously produced by [WrapSession] into a usable session. UnwrapSession will usually either decrypt a session state in the ticket (for example with [Config.EncryptTicket]), or use the ticket as a handle to recover a previously stored state. It must use [ParseSessionState] to deserialize the session state. If UnwrapSession returns an error, the connection is terminated. If it returns (nil, nil), the session is ignored. crypto/tls may still choose not to resume the returned session. VerifyConnection, if not nil, is called after normal certificate verification and after VerifyPeerCertificate by either a TLS client or server. If it returns a non-nil error, the handshake is aborted and that error results. If normal verification fails then the handshake will abort before considering this callback. This callback will run for all connections, including resumptions, regardless of InsecureSkipVerify or ClientAuth settings. VerifyPeerCertificate, if not nil, is called after normal certificate verification by either a TLS client or server. It receives the raw ASN.1 certificates provided by the peer and also any verified chains that normal processing found. If it returns a non-nil error, the handshake is aborted and that error results. If normal verification fails then the handshake will abort before considering this callback. If normal verification is disabled (on the client when InsecureSkipVerify is set, or on a server when ClientAuth is RequestClientCert or RequireAnyClientCert), then this callback will be considered but the verifiedChains argument will always be nil. When ClientAuth is NoClientCert, this callback is not called on the server. rawCerts may be empty on the server if ClientAuth is RequestClientCert or VerifyClientCertIfGiven. This callback is not invoked on resumed connections, as certificates are not re-verified on resumption. verifiedChains and its contents should not be modified. WrapSession is called on the server to produce a session ticket/identity. WrapSession must serialize the session state with [SessionState.Bytes]. It may then encrypt the serialized state (for example with [Config.DecryptTicket]) and use it as the ticket, or store the state and return a handle for it. If WrapSession returns an error, the connection is terminated. Warning: the return value will be exposed on the wire and to clients in plaintext. The application is in charge of encrypting and authenticating it (and rotating keys) or returning high-entropy identifiers. Failing to do so correctly can compromise current, previous, and future connections depending on the protocol version. BuildNameToCertificate parses c.Certificates and builds c.NameToCertificate from the CommonName and SubjectAlternateName fields of each of the leaf certificates. Deprecated: NameToCertificate only allows associating a single certificate with a given name. Leave that field nil to let the library select the first compatible chain from Certificates. Clone returns a shallow clone of c or nil if c is nil. It is safe to clone a [Config] that is being used concurrently by a TLS client or server. DecryptTicket decrypts a ticket encrypted by [Config.EncryptTicket]. It can be used as a [Config.UnwrapSession] implementation. If the ticket can't be decrypted or parsed, DecryptTicket returns (nil, nil). EncryptTicket encrypts a ticket with the [Config]'s configured (or default) session ticket keys. It can be used as a [Config.WrapSession] implementation. SetSessionTicketKeys updates the session ticket keys for a server. The first key will be used when creating new tickets, while all keys can be used for decrypting tickets. It is safe to call this function while the server is running in order to rotate the session ticket keys. The function will panic if keys is empty. Calling this function will turn off automatic session ticket key rotation. If multiple servers are terminating connections for the same host they should all have the same session ticket keys. If the session ticket keys leaks, previously recorded and future TLS connections using those keys might be compromised. func (*Config).Clone() *Config func Client(conn net.Conn, config *Config) *Conn func Dial(network, addr string, config *Config) (*Conn, error) func DialWithDialer(dialer *net.Dialer, network, addr string, config *Config) (*Conn, error) func Listen(network, laddr string, config *Config) (net.Listener, error) func NewListener(inner net.Listener, config *Config) net.Listener func Server(conn net.Conn, config *Config) *Conn func net/smtp.(*Client).StartTLS(config *Config) error
A Conn represents a secured connection. It implements the net.Conn interface. Close closes the connection. CloseWrite shuts down the writing side of the connection. It should only be called once the handshake has completed and does not call CloseWrite on the underlying connection. Most callers should just use [Conn.Close]. ConnectionState returns basic TLS details about the connection. Handshake runs the client or server handshake protocol if it has not yet been run. Most uses of this package need not call Handshake explicitly: the first [Conn.Read] or [Conn.Write] will call it automatically. For control over canceling or setting a timeout on a handshake, use [Conn.HandshakeContext] or the [Dialer]'s DialContext method instead. In order to avoid denial of service attacks, the maximum RSA key size allowed in certificates sent by either the TLS server or client is limited to 8192 bits. This limit can be overridden by setting tlsmaxrsasize in the GODEBUG environment variable (e.g. GODEBUG=tlsmaxrsasize=4096). HandshakeContext runs the client or server handshake protocol if it has not yet been run. The provided Context must be non-nil. If the context is canceled before the handshake is complete, the handshake is interrupted and an error is returned. Once the handshake has completed, cancellation of the context will not affect the connection. Most uses of this package need not call HandshakeContext explicitly: the first [Conn.Read] or [Conn.Write] will call it automatically. LocalAddr returns the local network address. NetConn returns the underlying connection that is wrapped by c. Note that writing to or reading from this connection directly will corrupt the TLS session. OCSPResponse returns the stapled OCSP response from the TLS server, if any. (Only valid for client connections.) Read reads data from the connection. As Read calls [Conn.Handshake], in order to prevent indefinite blocking a deadline must be set for both Read and [Conn.Write] before Read is called when the handshake has not yet completed. See [Conn.SetDeadline], [Conn.SetReadDeadline], and [Conn.SetWriteDeadline]. RemoteAddr returns the remote network address. SetDeadline sets the read and write deadlines associated with the connection. A zero value for t means [Conn.Read] and [Conn.Write] will not time out. After a Write has timed out, the TLS state is corrupt and all future writes will return the same error. SetReadDeadline sets the read deadline on the underlying connection. A zero value for t means [Conn.Read] will not time out. SetWriteDeadline sets the write deadline on the underlying connection. A zero value for t means [Conn.Write] will not time out. After a [Conn.Write] has timed out, the TLS state is corrupt and all future writes will return the same error. VerifyHostname checks that the peer certificate chain is valid for connecting to host. If so, it returns nil; if not, it returns an error describing the problem. Write writes data to the connection. As Write calls [Conn.Handshake], in order to prevent indefinite blocking a deadline must be set for both [Conn.Read] and Write before Write is called when the handshake has not yet completed. See [Conn.SetDeadline], [Conn.SetReadDeadline], and [Conn.SetWriteDeadline]. *Conn : internal/bisect.Writer *Conn : io.Closer *Conn : io.ReadCloser *Conn : io.Reader *Conn : io.ReadWriteCloser *Conn : io.ReadWriter *Conn : io.WriteCloser *Conn : io.Writer *Conn : net.Conn func Client(conn net.Conn, config *Config) *Conn func Dial(network, addr string, config *Config) (*Conn, error) func DialWithDialer(dialer *net.Dialer, network, addr string, config *Config) (*Conn, error) func Server(conn net.Conn, config *Config) *Conn
ConnectionState records basic TLS details about the connection. CipherSuite is the cipher suite negotiated for the connection (e.g. TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256). DidResume is true if this connection was successfully resumed from a previous session with a session ticket or similar mechanism. HandshakeComplete is true if the handshake has concluded. NegotiatedProtocol is the application protocol negotiated with ALPN. NegotiatedProtocolIsMutual used to indicate a mutual NPN negotiation. Deprecated: this value is always true. OCSPResponse is a stapled Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) response provided by the peer for the leaf certificate, if any. PeerCertificates are the parsed certificates sent by the peer, in the order in which they were sent. The first element is the leaf certificate that the connection is verified against. On the client side, it can't be empty. On the server side, it can be empty if Config.ClientAuth is not RequireAnyClientCert or RequireAndVerifyClientCert. PeerCertificates and its contents should not be modified. ServerName is the value of the Server Name Indication extension sent by the client. It's available both on the server and on the client side. SignedCertificateTimestamps is a list of SCTs provided by the peer through the TLS handshake for the leaf certificate, if any. TLSUnique contains the "tls-unique" channel binding value (see RFC 5929, Section 3). This value will be nil for TLS 1.3 connections and for resumed connections that don't support Extended Master Secret (RFC 7627). VerifiedChains is a list of one or more chains where the first element is PeerCertificates[0] and the last element is from Config.RootCAs (on the client side) or Config.ClientCAs (on the server side). On the client side, it's set if Config.InsecureSkipVerify is false. On the server side, it's set if Config.ClientAuth is VerifyClientCertIfGiven (and the peer provided a certificate) or RequireAndVerifyClientCert. VerifiedChains and its contents should not be modified. Version is the TLS version used by the connection (e.g. VersionTLS12). ExportKeyingMaterial returns length bytes of exported key material in a new slice as defined in RFC 5705. If context is nil, it is not used as part of the seed. If the connection was set to allow renegotiation via Config.Renegotiation, or if the connections supports neither TLS 1.3 nor Extended Master Secret, this function will return an error. Exporting key material without Extended Master Secret or TLS 1.3 was disabled in Go 1.22 due to security issues (see the Security Considerations sections of RFC 5705 and RFC 7627), but can be re-enabled with the GODEBUG setting tlsunsafeekm=1. func (*Conn).ConnectionState() ConnectionState func (*QUICConn).ConnectionState() ConnectionState func net/smtp.(*Client).TLSConnectionState() (state ConnectionState, ok bool) func (*Config).DecryptTicket(identity []byte, cs ConnectionState) (*SessionState, error) func (*Config).EncryptTicket(cs ConnectionState, ss *SessionState) ([]byte, error)
CurveID is the type of a TLS identifier for an elliptic curve. See https://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-parameters/tls-parameters.xml#tls-parameters-8. In TLS 1.3, this type is called NamedGroup, but at this time this library only supports Elliptic Curve based groups. See RFC 8446, Section 4.2.7.

Dialer dials TLS connections given a configuration and a Dialer for the underlying connection. Config is the TLS configuration to use for new connections. A nil configuration is equivalent to the zero configuration; see the documentation of Config for the defaults. NetDialer is the optional dialer to use for the TLS connections' underlying TCP connections. A nil NetDialer is equivalent to the net.Dialer zero value. Dial connects to the given network address and initiates a TLS handshake, returning the resulting TLS connection. The returned [Conn], if any, will always be of type *[Conn]. Dial uses context.Background internally; to specify the context, use [Dialer.DialContext]. DialContext connects to the given network address and initiates a TLS handshake, returning the resulting TLS connection. The provided Context must be non-nil. If the context expires before the connection is complete, an error is returned. Once successfully connected, any expiration of the context will not affect the connection. The returned [Conn], if any, will always be of type *[Conn].

A QUICConn represents a connection which uses a QUIC implementation as the underlying transport as described in RFC 9001. Methods of QUICConn are not safe for concurrent use. Close closes the connection and stops any in-progress handshake. ConnectionState returns basic TLS details about the connection. HandleData handles handshake bytes received from the peer. It may produce connection events, which may be read with [QUICConn.NextEvent]. NextEvent returns the next event occurring on the connection. It returns an event with a Kind of [QUICNoEvent] when no events are available. SendSessionTicket sends a session ticket to the client. It produces connection events, which may be read with [QUICConn.NextEvent]. Currently, it can only be called once. SetTransportParameters sets the transport parameters to send to the peer. Server connections may delay setting the transport parameters until after receiving the client's transport parameters. See [QUICTransportParametersRequired]. Start starts the client or server handshake protocol. It may produce connection events, which may be read with [QUICConn.NextEvent]. Start must be called at most once. *QUICConn : io.Closer func QUICClient(config *QUICConfig) *QUICConn func QUICServer(config *QUICConfig) *QUICConn
QUICEncryptionLevel represents a QUIC encryption level used to transmit handshake messages. ( QUICEncryptionLevel) String() string QUICEncryptionLevel : expvar.Var QUICEncryptionLevel : fmt.Stringer func (*QUICConn).HandleData(level QUICEncryptionLevel, data []byte) error const QUICEncryptionLevelApplication const QUICEncryptionLevelEarly const QUICEncryptionLevelHandshake const QUICEncryptionLevelInitial
A QUICEvent is an event occurring on a QUIC connection. The type of event is specified by the Kind field. The contents of the other fields are kind-specific. Set for QUICTransportParameters, QUICSetReadSecret, QUICSetWriteSecret, and QUICWriteData. The contents are owned by crypto/tls, and are valid until the next NextEvent call. Kind QUICEventKind Set for QUICSetReadSecret, QUICSetWriteSecret, and QUICWriteData. Set for QUICSetReadSecret and QUICSetWriteSecret. func (*QUICConn).NextEvent() QUICEvent
A QUICEventKind is a type of operation on a QUIC connection. const QUICHandshakeDone const QUICNoEvent const QUICRejectedEarlyData const QUICSetReadSecret const QUICSetWriteSecret const QUICTransportParameters const QUICTransportParametersRequired const QUICWriteData
EarlyData specifies whether the ticket may be used for 0-RTT. func (*QUICConn).SendSessionTicket(opts QUICSessionTicketOptions) error
RecordHeaderError is returned when a TLS record header is invalid. Conn provides the underlying net.Conn in the case that a client sent an initial handshake that didn't look like TLS. It is nil if there's already been a handshake or a TLS alert has been written to the connection. Msg contains a human readable string that describes the error. RecordHeader contains the five bytes of TLS record header that triggered the error. ( RecordHeaderError) Error() string RecordHeaderError : error
RenegotiationSupport enumerates the different levels of support for TLS renegotiation. TLS renegotiation is the act of performing subsequent handshakes on a connection after the first. This significantly complicates the state machine and has been the source of numerous, subtle security issues. Initiating a renegotiation is not supported, but support for accepting renegotiation requests may be enabled. Even when enabled, the server may not change its identity between handshakes (i.e. the leaf certificate must be the same). Additionally, concurrent handshake and application data flow is not permitted so renegotiation can only be used with protocols that synchronise with the renegotiation, such as HTTPS. Renegotiation is not defined in TLS 1.3. const RenegotiateFreelyAsClient const RenegotiateNever const RenegotiateOnceAsClient
A SessionState is a resumable session. EarlyData indicates whether the ticket can be used for 0-RTT in a QUIC connection. The application may set this to false if it is true to decline to offer 0-RTT even if supported. Extra is ignored by crypto/tls, but is encoded by [SessionState.Bytes] and parsed by [ParseSessionState]. This allows [Config.UnwrapSession]/[Config.WrapSession] and [ClientSessionCache] implementations to store and retrieve additional data alongside this session. To allow different layers in a protocol stack to share this field, applications must only append to it, not replace it, and must use entries that can be recognized even if out of order (for example, by starting with an id and version prefix). Bytes encodes the session, including any private fields, so that it can be parsed by [ParseSessionState]. The encoding contains secret values critical to the security of future and possibly past sessions. The specific encoding should be considered opaque and may change incompatibly between Go versions. func ParseSessionState(data []byte) (*SessionState, error) func (*ClientSessionState).ResumptionState() (ticket []byte, state *SessionState, err error) func (*Config).DecryptTicket(identity []byte, cs ConnectionState) (*SessionState, error) func NewResumptionState(ticket []byte, state *SessionState) (*ClientSessionState, error) func (*Config).EncryptTicket(cs ConnectionState, ss *SessionState) ([]byte, error)

Package-Level Functions (total 17)
CipherSuiteName returns the standard name for the passed cipher suite ID (e.g. "TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256"), or a fallback representation of the ID value if the cipher suite is not implemented by this package.
CipherSuites returns a list of cipher suites currently implemented by this package, excluding those with security issues, which are returned by [InsecureCipherSuites]. The list is sorted by ID. Note that the default cipher suites selected by this package might depend on logic that can't be captured by a static list, and might not match those returned by this function.
Client returns a new TLS client side connection using conn as the underlying transport. The config cannot be nil: users must set either ServerName or InsecureSkipVerify in the config.
Dial connects to the given network address using net.Dial and then initiates a TLS handshake, returning the resulting TLS connection. Dial interprets a nil configuration as equivalent to the zero configuration; see the documentation of Config for the defaults.
DialWithDialer connects to the given network address using dialer.Dial and then initiates a TLS handshake, returning the resulting TLS connection. Any timeout or deadline given in the dialer apply to connection and TLS handshake as a whole. DialWithDialer interprets a nil configuration as equivalent to the zero configuration; see the documentation of [Config] for the defaults. DialWithDialer uses context.Background internally; to specify the context, use [Dialer.DialContext] with NetDialer set to the desired dialer.
InsecureCipherSuites returns a list of cipher suites currently implemented by this package and which have security issues. Most applications should not use the cipher suites in this list, and should only use those returned by [CipherSuites].
Listen creates a TLS listener accepting connections on the given network address using net.Listen. The configuration config must be non-nil and must include at least one certificate or else set GetCertificate.
LoadX509KeyPair reads and parses a public/private key pair from a pair of files. The files must contain PEM encoded data. The certificate file may contain intermediate certificates following the leaf certificate to form a certificate chain. On successful return, Certificate.Leaf will be nil because the parsed form of the certificate is not retained.
NewListener creates a Listener which accepts connections from an inner Listener and wraps each connection with [Server]. The configuration config must be non-nil and must include at least one certificate or else set GetCertificate.
NewLRUClientSessionCache returns a [ClientSessionCache] with the given capacity that uses an LRU strategy. If capacity is < 1, a default capacity is used instead.
NewResumptionState returns a state value that can be returned by [ClientSessionCache.Get] to resume a previous session. state needs to be returned by [ParseSessionState], and the ticket and session state must have been returned by [ClientSessionState.ResumptionState].
ParseSessionState parses a [SessionState] encoded by [SessionState.Bytes].
QUICClient returns a new TLS client side connection using QUICTransport as the underlying transport. The config cannot be nil. The config's MinVersion must be at least TLS 1.3.
QUICServer returns a new TLS server side connection using QUICTransport as the underlying transport. The config cannot be nil. The config's MinVersion must be at least TLS 1.3.
Server returns a new TLS server side connection using conn as the underlying transport. The configuration config must be non-nil and must include at least one certificate or else set GetCertificate.
VersionName returns the name for the provided TLS version number (e.g. "TLS 1.3"), or a fallback representation of the value if the version is not implemented by this package.
X509KeyPair parses a public/private key pair from a pair of PEM encoded data. On successful return, Certificate.Leaf will be nil because the parsed form of the certificate is not retained.
