int wolfSSL_use_old_poly(WOLFSSL * ssl, int value)
Since there is some differences between the first release and newer versions of chacha-poly AEAD construction we have added an option to communicate with servers/clients using the older version. By default wolfSSL uses the new version.
int wolfSSL_CTX_trust_peer_cert(WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx, const char * file, int type)
This function loads a certificate to use for verifying a peer when performing a TLS/SSL handshake. The peer certificate sent during the handshake is compared by using the SKID when available and the signature. If these two things do not match then any loaded CAs are used. Feature is enabled by defining the macro WOLFSSL_TRUST_PEER_CERT. Please see the examples for proper usage.
long wolfSSL_CTX_get_verify_depth(WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx)
This function gets the certificate chaining depth using the CTX structure.
WOLFSSL_CTX * wolfSSL_CTX_new(WOLFSSL_METHOD * )

This function creates a new SSL session, taking an already created SSL context as input.
int wolfSSL_set_fd(WOLFSSL * ssl, int fd)
This function assigns a file descriptor (fd) as the input/output facility for the SSL connection. Typically this will be a socket file descriptor.
int wolfSSL_set_dtls_fd_connected(WOLFSSL * ssl, int fd)
This function assigns a file descriptor (fd) as the input/output facility for the SSL connection. Typically this will be a socket file descriptor. This is a DTLS specific API because it marks that the socket is connected. recvfrom and sendto calls on this fd will have the addr and addr_len parameters set to NULL.
int wolfDTLS_SetChGoodCb(WOLFSSL * ssl, ClientHelloGoodCb cb, void * user_ctx)
Allows setting a callback for a correctly processed and verified DTLS client hello. When using a cookie exchange mechanism (either the HelloVerifyRequest in DTLS 1.2 or the HelloRetryRequest with a cookie extension in DTLS 1.3) this callback is called after the cookie exchange has succeeded. This is useful to use one WOLFSSL object as the listener for new connections and being able to isolate the WOLFSSL object once the ClientHello is verified (either through a cookie exchange or just checking if the ClientHello had the correct format). DTLS 1.2: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6347#section_4.2.1 DTLS 1.3: https://www.rfc_editor.org/rfc/rfc8446#section_4.2.2.
void wolfSSL_set_using_nonblock(WOLFSSL * ssl, int nonblock)
This function informs the WOLFSSL object that the underlying I/O is non_blocking. After an application creates a WOLFSSL object, if it will be used with a non_blocking socket, call wolfSSL_set_using_nonblock() on it. This lets the WOLFSSL object know that receiving EWOULDBLOCK means that the recvfrom call would block rather than that it timed out.
void wolfSSL_CTX_free(WOLFSSL_CTX * )
This function frees an allocated WOLFSSL_CTX object. This function decrements the CTX reference count and only frees the context when the reference count has reached 0.
void wolfSSL_free(WOLFSSL * )
This function frees an allocated wolfSSL object.
int wolfSSL_set_session(WOLFSSL * ssl, WOLFSSL_SESSION * session)
This function sets the session to be used when the SSL object, ssl, is used to establish a SSL/TLS connection. For session resumption, before calling wolfSSL_shutdown() with your session object, an application should save the session ID from the object with a call to wolfSSL_get1_session(), which returns a pointer to the session. Later, the application should create a new WOLFSSL object and assign the saved session with wolfSSL_set_session(). At this point, the application may call wolfSSL_connect() and wolfSSL will try to resume the session. The wolfSSL server code allows session resumption by default. The object returned by wolfSSL_get1_session() needs to be freed after the application is done with it by calling wolfSSL_SESSION_free() on it.
void wolfSSL_CTX_set_verify(WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx, int mode, VerifyCallback verify_callback)
This function sets the verification method for remote peers and also allows a verify callback to be registered with the SSL context. The verify callback will be called only when a verification failure has occurred. If no verify callback is desired, the NULL pointer can be used for verify_callback. The verification mode of peer certificates is a logically OR’d list of flags. The possible flag values include: SSL_VERIFY_NONE Client mode: the client will not verify the certificate received from the server and the handshake will continue as normal. Server mode: the server will not send a certificate request to the client. As such, client verification will not be enabled. SSL_VERIFY_PEER Client mode: the client will verify the certificate received from the server during the handshake. This is turned on by default in wolfSSL, therefore, using this option has no effect. Server mode: the server will send a certificate request to the client and verify the client certificate received. SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT Client mode: no effect when used on the client side. Server mode: the verification will fail on the server side if the client fails to send a certificate when requested to do so (when using SSL_VERIFY_PEER on the SSL server). SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_EXCEPT_PSK Client mode: no effect when used on the client side. Server mode: the verification is the same as SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT except in the case of a PSK connection. If a PSK connection is being made then the connection will go through without a peer cert.
void wolfSSL_set_verify(WOLFSSL * ssl, int mode, VerifyCallback verify_callback)
This function sets the verification method for remote peers and also allows a verify callback to be registered with the SSL session. The verify callback will be called only when a verification failure has occurred. If no verify callback is desired, the NULL pointer can be used for verify_callback. The verification mode of peer certificates is a logically OR’d list of flags. The possible flag values include: SSL_VERIFY_NONE Client mode: the client will not verify the certificate received from the server and the handshake will continue as normal. Server mode: the server will not send a certificate request to the client. As such, client verification will not be enabled. SSL_VERIFY_PEER Client mode: the client will verify the certificate received from the server during the handshake. This is turned on by default in wolfSSL, therefore, using this option has no effect. Server mode: the server will send a certificate request to the client and verify the client certificate received. SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT Client mode: no effect when used on the client side. Server mode: the verification will fail on the server side if the client fails to send a certificate when requested to do so (when using SSL_VERIFY_PEER on the SSL server). SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_EXCEPT_PSK Client mode: no effect when used on the client side. Server mode: the verification is the same as SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT except in the case of a PSK connection. If a PSK connection is being made then the connection will go through without a peer cert.
long wolfSSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode(WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx, long mode)
This function enables or disables SSL session caching. Behavior depends on the value used for mode. The following values for mode are available: SSL_SESS_CACHE_OFF- disable session caching. Session caching is turned on by default. SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_AUTO_CLEAR - Disable auto-flushing of the session cache. Auto-flushing is turned on by default.

This function restores the certificate cache from memory.
int wolfSSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx, const char * list)
This function sets cipher suite list for a given WOLFSSL_CTX. This cipher suite list becomes the default list for any new SSL sessions (WOLFSSL) created using this context. The ciphers in the list should be sorted in order of preference from highest to lowest. Each call to wolfSSL_CTX_set_cipher_list() resets the cipher suite list for the specific SSL context to the provided list each time the function is called. The cipher suite list, list, is a null_terminated text string, and a colon_delimited list. For example, one value for list may be "DHE_RSA_AES256_SHA256:DHE_RSA_AES128_SHA256:AES256_SHA256" Valid cipher values are the full name values from the cipher_names[] array in src/internal.c (for a definite list of valid cipher values check src/internal.c)
int wolfSSL_set_cipher_list(WOLFSSL * ssl, const char * list)
This function sets cipher suite list for a given WOLFSSL object (SSL session). The ciphers in the list should be sorted in order of preference from highest to lowest. Each call to wolfSSL_set_cipher_list() resets the cipher suite list for the specific SSL session to the provided list each time the function is called. The cipher suite list, list, is a null_terminated text string, and a colon_delimited list. For example, one value for list may be "DHE_RSA_AES256_SHA256:DHE_RSA_AES128_SHA256:AES256_SHA256". Valid cipher values are the full name values from the cipher_names[] array in src/internal.c (for a definite list of valid cipher values check src/internal.c)
void wolfSSL_dtls13_set_send_more_acks(WOLFSSL * ssl, int value)
This function sets whether the library should send ACKs to the other peer immediately when detecting disruption or not. Sending ACKs immediately assures minimum latency but it may consume more bandwidth than necessary. If the application manages the timer by itself and this option is set to 0 then application code can use wolfSSL_dtls13_use_quick_timeout() to determine if it should setup a quicker timeout to send those delayed ACKs.
int wolfSSL_dtls_set_timeout_init(WOLFSSL * ssl, int )
This function sets the dtls timeout.
WOLFSSL_SESSION * wolfSSL_get1_session(WOLFSSL * ssl)
This function returns the WOLFSSL_SESSION from the WOLFSSL structure as a reference type. This requires calling wolfSSL_SESSION_free to release the session reference. The WOLFSSL_SESSION pointed to contains all the necessary information required to perform a session resumption and reestablish the connection without a new handshake. For session resumption, before calling wolfSSL_shutdown() with your session object, an application should save the session ID from the object with a call to wolfSSL_get1_session(), which returns a pointer to the session. Later, the application should create a new WOLFSSL object and assign the saved session with wolfSSL_set_session(). At this point, the application may call wolfSSL_connect() and wolfSSL will try to resume the session. The wolfSSL server code allows session resumption by default. The object returned by wolfSSL_get1_session() needs to be freed after the application is done with it by calling wolfSSL_SESSION_free() on it.
WOLFSSL_METHOD * wolfSSLv23_client_method(void )
The wolfSSLv23_client_method() function is used to indicate that the application is a client and will support the highest protocol version supported by the server between SSL 3.0 _ TLS 1.3. This function allocates memory for and initializes a new WOLFSSL_METHOD structure to be used when creating the SSL/TLS context with wolfSSL_CTX_new(). Both wolfSSL clients and servers have robust version downgrade capability. If a specific protocol version method is used on either side, then only that version will be negotiated or an error will be returned. For example, a client that uses TLSv1 and tries to connect to a SSLv3 only server will fail, likewise connecting to a TLSv1.1 will fail as well. To resolve this issue, a client that uses the wolfSSLv23_client_method() function will use the highest protocol version supported by the server and downgrade to SSLv3 if needed. In this case, the client will be able to connect to a server running SSLv3 - TLSv1.3.
WOLFSSL_BIGNUM * wolfSSL_ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN(const WOLFSSL_ASN1_INTEGER * ai, WOLFSSL_BIGNUM * bn)

int wolfSSL_state(WOLFSSL * ssl)
This is used to get the internal error state of the WOLFSSL structure.
int wolfSSL_check_domain_name(WOLFSSL * ssl, const char * dn)
wolfSSL by default checks the peer certificate for a valid date range and a verified signature. Calling this function before wolfSSL_connect() or wolfSSL_accept() will add a domain name check to the list of checks to perform. dn holds the domain name to check against the peer certificate when it’s received.
int wolfSSL_set_compression(WOLFSSL * ssl)
Turns on the ability to use compression for the SSL connection. Both sides must have compression turned on otherwise compression will not be used. The zlib library performs the actual data compression. To compile into the library use –with-libz for the configure system and define HAVE_LIBZ otherwise. Keep in mind that while compressing data before sending decreases the actual size of the messages being sent and received, the amount of data saved by compression usually takes longer in time to analyze than it does to send it raw on all but the slowest of networks.

When using a cookie exchange mechanism (either the HelloVerifyRequest in DTLS 1.2 or the HelloRetryRequest with a cookie extension in DTLS 1.3) this callback is called after the cookie exchange has succeeded. This is useful to use one WOLFSSL object as the listener for new connections and being able to isolate the WOLFSSL object once the ClientHello is verified (either through a cookie exchange or just checking if the ClientHello had the correct format). DTLS 1.2: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6347#section-4.2.1 DTLS 1.3: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8446#section-4.2.2.

Parameters:

  • ssl pointer to the SSL session, created with wolfSSL_new().
  • fd file descriptor to use with SSL/TLS connection.

See: wolfSSL_set_dtls_fd_connected

Return:

  • SSL_SUCCESS upon success.
  • BAD_FUNC_ARG upon failure.

Example

// Called when we have verified a connection
static int chGoodCb(WOLFSSL* ssl, void* arg)
{
    // setup peer and file descriptors

}

if (wolfDTLS_SetChGoodCb(ssl, chGoodCb, NULL) != WOLFSSL_SUCCESS) {
     // error setting callback
}

function wolfSSL_set_using_nonblock

void wolfSSL_set_using_nonblock(
    WOLFSSL * ssl,
    int nonblock
)

This function informs the WOLFSSL object that the underlying I/O is non-blocking. After an application creates a WOLFSSL object, if it will be used with a non-blocking socket, call wolfSSL_set_using_nonblock() on it. This lets the WOLFSSL object know that receiving EWOULDBLOCK means that the recvfrom call would block rather than that it timed out.

Parameters:

  • ssl pointer to the SSL session, created with wolfSSL_new().
  • nonblock value used to set non-blocking flag on WOLFSSL object. Use 1 to specify non-blocking, otherwise 0.

See:

Return: none No return.

Example

WOLFSSL* ssl = 0;
...
wolfSSL_set_using_nonblock(ssl, 1);

function wolfSSL_CTX_free

void wolfSSL_CTX_free(
    WOLFSSL_CTX * 
)

This function frees an allocated WOLFSSL_CTX object. This function decrements the CTX reference count and only frees the context when the reference count has reached 0.

Parameters:

See:

Return: none No return.

Example

WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx = 0;
...
wolfSSL_CTX_free(ctx);

function wolfSSL_free

void wolfSSL_free(
    WOLFSSL * 
)

This function frees an allocated wolfSSL object.

Parameters:

See:

Return: none No return.

Example

#include <wolfssl/ssl.h>

WOLFSSL* ssl = 0;
...
wolfSSL_free(ssl);

function wolfSSL_set_session

int wolfSSL_set_session(
    WOLFSSL * ssl,
    WOLFSSL_SESSION * session
)

This function sets the session to be used when the SSL object, ssl, is used to establish a SSL/TLS connection. For session resumption, before calling wolfSSL_shutdown() with your session object, an application should save the session ID from the object with a call to wolfSSL_get1_session(), which returns a pointer to the session. Later, the application should create a new WOLFSSL object and assign the saved session with wolfSSL_set_session(). At this point, the application may call wolfSSL_connect() and wolfSSL will try to resume the session. The wolfSSL server code allows session resumption by default. The object returned by wolfSSL_get1_session() needs to be freed after the application is done with it by calling wolfSSL_SESSION_free() on it.

Parameters:

  • ssl pointer to the SSL object, created with wolfSSL_new().
  • session pointer to the WOLFSSL_SESSION used to set the session for ssl.

See: wolfSSL_get1_session

Return:

  • SSL_SUCCESS will be returned upon successfully setting the session.
  • SSL_FAILURE will be returned on failure. This could be caused by the session cache being disabled, or if the session has timed out.
  • When OPENSSL_EXTRA and WOLFSSL_ERROR_CODE_OPENSSL are defined, SSL_SUCCESS will be returned even if the session has timed out.

Example

int ret;
WOLFSSL* ssl;
WOLFSSL_SESSION* session;
...
session = wolfSSL_get1_session(ssl);
if (session == NULL) {
    // failed to get session object from ssl object
}
...
ret = wolfSSL_set_session(ssl, session);
if (ret != SSL_SUCCESS) {
    // failed to set the SSL session
}
wolfSSL_SESSION_free(session);
...

function wolfSSL_CTX_set_verify

void wolfSSL_CTX_set_verify(
    WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx,
    int mode,
    VerifyCallback verify_callback
)

This function sets the verification method for remote peers and also allows a verify callback to be registered with the SSL context. The verify callback will be called only when a verification failure has occurred. If no verify callback is desired, the NULL pointer can be used for verify_callback. The verification mode of peer certificates is a logically OR’d list of flags. The possible flag values include: SSL_VERIFY_NONE Client mode: the client will not verify the certificate received from the server and the handshake will continue as normal. Server mode: the server will not send a certificate request to the client. As such, client verification will not be enabled. SSL_VERIFY_PEER Client mode: the client will verify the certificate received from the server during the handshake. This is turned on by default in wolfSSL, therefore, using this option has no effect. Server mode: the server will send a certificate request to the client and verify the client certificate received. SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT Client mode: no effect when used on the client side. Server mode: the verification will fail on the server side if the client fails to send a certificate when requested to do so (when using SSL_VERIFY_PEER on the SSL server). SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_EXCEPT_PSK Client mode: no effect when used on the client side. Server mode: the verification is the same as SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT except in the case of a PSK connection. If a PSK connection is being made then the connection will go through without a peer cert.

Parameters:

  • ctx pointer to the SSL context, created with wolfSSL_CTX_new().
  • mode flags indicating verification mode for peer's cert.
  • verify_callback callback to be called when verification fails. If no callback is desired, the NULL pointer can be used for verify_callback.

See: wolfSSL_set_verify

Return: none No return.

Example

WOLFSSL_CTX*    ctx    = 0;
...
wolfSSL_CTX_set_verify(ctx, (WOLFSSL_VERIFY_PEER |
                       WOLFSSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT), NULL);

void wolfSSL_set_verify(
    WOLFSSL * ssl,
    int mode,
    VerifyCallback verify_callback
)

function wolfSSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode

long wolfSSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode(
    WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx,
    long mode
)

This function enables or disables SSL session caching. Behavior depends on the value used for mode. The following values for mode are available: SSL_SESS_CACHE_OFF- disable session caching. Session caching is turned on by default. SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_AUTO_CLEAR - Disable auto-flushing of the session cache. Auto-flushing is turned on by default.

int sz = (*int) sizeof(mem);
…
if(wolfSSL_CTX_memrestore_cert_cache(ssl->ctx, mem, sz)){
    // The success case
}

function wolfSSL_CTX_set_cipher_list

int wolfSSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(
    WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx,
    const char * list
)

This function sets cipher suite list for a given WOLFSSL_CTX. This cipher suite list becomes the default list for any new SSL sessions (WOLFSSL) created using this context. The ciphers in the list should be sorted in order of preference from highest to lowest. Each call to wolfSSL_CTX_set_cipher_list() resets the cipher suite list for the specific SSL context to the provided list each time the function is called. The cipher suite list, list, is a null-terminated text string, and a colon-delimited list. For example, one value for list may be "DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256" Valid cipher values are the full name values from the cipher_names[] array in src/internal.c (for a definite list of valid cipher values check src/internal.c)

Parameters:

  • ctx pointer to the SSL context, created with wolfSSL_CTX_new().
  • list null-terminated text string and a colon-delimited list of cipher suites to use with the specified SSL context.

See:

Return:

Example

WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx = 0;
...
ret = wolfSSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(ctx,
“DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256”);
if (ret != SSL_SUCCESS) {
    // failed to set cipher suite list
}

function wolfSSL_set_cipher_list

int wolfSSL_set_cipher_list(
    WOLFSSL * ssl,
    const char * list
)

This function sets cipher suite list for a given WOLFSSL object (SSL session). The ciphers in the list should be sorted in order of preference from highest to lowest. Each call to wolfSSL_set_cipher_list() resets the cipher suite list for the specific SSL session to the provided list each time the function is called. The cipher suite list, list, is a null-terminated text string, and a colon-delimited list. For example, one value for list may be "DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256". Valid cipher values are the full name values from the cipher_names[] array in src/internal.c (for a definite list of valid cipher values check src/internal.c)

Parameters:

  • ssl pointer to the SSL session, created with wolfSSL_new().
  • list null-terminated text string and a colon-delimited list of cipher suites to use with the specified SSL session.

See:

Return:

    // failed to set cipher suite list
}

function wolfSSL_dtls13_set_send_more_acks

void wolfSSL_dtls13_set_send_more_acks(
    WOLFSSL * ssl,
    int value
)

This function sets whether the library should send ACKs to the other peer immediately when detecting disruption or not. Sending ACKs immediately assures minimum latency but it may consume more bandwidth than necessary. If the application manages the timer by itself and this option is set to 0 then application code can use wolfSSL_dtls13_use_quick_timeout() to determine if it should setup a quicker timeout to send those delayed ACKs.

Parameters:

  • ssl a pointer to a WOLFSSL structure, created using wolfSSL_new().
  • value 1 to set the option, 0 to disable the option

See:

function wolfSSL_dtls_set_timeout_init

int wolfSSL_dtls_set_timeout_init(
    WOLFSSL * ssl,
    int 
)

This function sets the dtls timeout.

Parameters:

  • ssl a pointer to a WOLFSSL structure, created using wolfSSL_new().
  • timeout an int type that will be set to the dtls_timeout_init member of the WOLFSSL structure.

See:

Return:

  • SSL_SUCCESS returned if the function executes without an error. The dtls_timeout_init and the dtls_timeout members of SSL have been set.
  • BAD_FUNC_ARG returned if the WOLFSSL struct is NULL or if the timeout is not greater than 0. It will also return if the timeout argument exceeds the maximum value allowed.

Example

WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx = wolfSSL_CTX_new( method );
WOLFSSL* ssl = wolfSSL_new(ctx);
int timeout = TIMEOUT;
...
if(wolfSSL_dtls_set_timeout_init(ssl, timeout)){
    // the dtls timeout was set
} else {
    // Failed to set DTLS timeout.
}

function wolfSSL_get1_session

WOLFSSL_SESSION * wolfSSL_get1_session(
    WOLFSSL * ssl
)

This function returns the WOLFSSL_SESSION from the WOLFSSL structure as a reference type. This requires calling wolfSSL_SESSION_free to release the session reference. The WOLFSSL_SESSION pointed to contains all the necessary information required to perform a session resumption and reestablish the connection without a new handshake. For session resumption, before calling wolfSSL_shutdown() with your session object, an application should save the session ID from the object with a call to wolfSSL_get1_session(), which returns a pointer to the session. Later, the application should create a new WOLFSSL object and assign the saved session with wolfSSL_set_session(). At this point, the application may call wolfSSL_connect() and wolfSSL will try to resume the session. The wolfSSL server code allows session resumption by default. The object returned by wolfSSL_get1_session() needs to be freed after the application is done with it by calling wolfSSL_SESSION_free() on it.

Parameters:

  • ssl WOLFSSL structure to get session from.

See:

Return:

  • WOLFSSL_SESSION On success return session pointer.
  • NULL will be returned if ssl is NULL, the SSL session cache is disabled, wolfSSL doesn’t have the Session ID available, or mutex functions fail.

Example

WOLFSSL* ssl;
WOLFSSL_SESSION* ses;
// attempt/complete handshake
wolfSSL_connect(ssl);
ses  = wolfSSL_get1_session(ssl);
// check ses information
// disconnect / setup new SSL instance
wolfSSL_set_session(ssl, ses);
// attempt/resume handshake
wolfSSL_SESSION_free(ses);

function wolfSSLv23_client_method

WOLFSSL_METHOD * wolfSSLv23_client_method(
    void 
)

The wolfSSLv23_client_method() function is used to indicate that the application is a client and will support the highest protocol version supported by the server between SSL 3.0 - TLS 1.3. This function allocates memory for and initializes a new WOLFSSL_METHOD structure to be used when creating the SSL/TLS context with wolfSSL_CTX_new(). Both wolfSSL clients and servers have robust version downgrade capability. If a specific protocol version method is used on either side, then only that version will be negotiated or an error will be returned. For example, a client that uses TLSv1 and tries to connect to a SSLv3 only server will fail, likewise connecting to a TLSv1.1 will fail as well. To resolve this issue, a client that uses the wolfSSLv23_client_method() function will use the highest protocol version supported by the server and downgrade to SSLv3 if needed. In this case, the client will be able to connect to a server running SSLv3 - TLSv1.3.

Parameters:

  • none No parameters

See:

Return:

  • pointer upon success a pointer to a WOLFSSL_METHOD.
  • Failure If memory allocation fails when calling XMALLOC, the failure value of the underlying malloc() implementation will be returned (typically NULL with errno will be set to ENOMEM).

Example

WOLFSSL_METHOD* method;
WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx;
method = wolfSSLv23_client_method();
if (method == NULL) {
// unable to get method
}

ctx = wolfSSL_CTX_new(method);

)

This function is used to copy a WOLFSSL_ASN1_INTEGER value to a WOLFSSL_BIGNUM structure.

Parameters:

  • ai WOLFSSL_ASN1_INTEGER structure to copy from.
  • bn if wanting to copy into an already existing WOLFSSL_BIGNUM struct then pass in a pointer to it. Optionally this can be NULL and a new WOLFSSL_BIGNUM structure will be created.

See: none

Return:

  • pointer On successfully copying the WOLFSSL_ASN1_INTEGER value a WOLFSSL_BIGNUM pointer is returned.
  • Null upon failure.

Example

WOLFSSL_ASN1_INTEGER* ai;
WOLFSSL_BIGNUM* bn;
// create ai
bn = wolfSSL_ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN(ai, NULL);

// or if having already created bn and wanting to reuse structure
// wolfSSL_ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN(ai, bn);
// check bn is or return value is not NULL

    WOLFSSL * ssl
)

Turns on the ability to use compression for the SSL connection. Both sides must have compression turned on otherwise compression will not be used. The zlib library performs the actual data compression. To compile into the library use –with-libz for the configure system and define HAVE_LIBZ otherwise. Keep in mind that while compressing data before sending decreases the actual size of the messages being sent and received, the amount of data saved by compression usually takes longer in time to analyze than it does to send it raw on all but the slowest of networks.

Parameters:

See: none

Return:

  • SSL_SUCCESS upon success.
  • NOT_COMPILED_IN will be returned if compression support wasn’t built into the library.

Example

int ret = 0;
WOLFSSL* ssl = 0;
...
ret = wolfSSL_set_compression(ssl);
if (ret == SSL_SUCCESS) {
    // successfully enabled compression for SSL session
}
