| * |
| * The SSL/TLS communication module provides the means to create an SSL/TLS |
| * communication channel. |
| * |
| * The basic provisions are: |
| * - initialise an SSL/TLS context (see \c mbedtls_ssl_init()). |
| * - perform an SSL/TLS handshake (see \c mbedtls_ssl_handshake()). |
| * - read/write (see \c mbedtls_ssl_read() and \c mbedtls_ssl_write()). |
| * - notify a peer that connection is being closed (see \c mbedtls_ssl_close_notify()). |
| * |
| * Many aspects of such a channel are set through parameters and callback |
| * functions: |
| * - the endpoint role: client or server. |
| * - the authentication mode. Should verification take place. |
| * - the Host-to-host communication channel. A TCP/IP module is provided. |
| * - the random number generator (RNG). |
| * - the ciphers to use for encryption/decryption. |
| * - session control functions. |
| * - X.509 parameters for certificate-handling and key exchange. |
| * |
| * This module can be used to create an SSL/TLS server and client and to provide a basic |
| * framework to setup and communicate through an SSL/TLS communication channel.\n |
| * Note that you need to provide for several aspects yourself as mentioned above. |
