| Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard | b4fe3cb | 2015-01-22 16:11:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 27 | * This documentation describes the internal structure of mbed TLS.  It was |

| Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard | b4fe3cb | 2015-01-22 16:11:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 32 | * mbed TLS has a simple setup: it provides the ingredients for an SSL/TLS | 
| Paul Bakker | dcbfdcc | 2013-09-10 16:16:50 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 33 | * implementation. These ingredients are listed as modules in the | 
|  | 34 | * \ref mainpage_modules "Modules section". This "Modules section" introduces | 
|  | 35 | * the high-level module concepts used throughout this documentation.\n | 
| Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard | b4fe3cb | 2015-01-22 16:11:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 36 | * Some examples of mbed TLS usage can be found in the \ref mainpage_examples | 
| Paul Bakker | 37ca75d | 2011-01-06 12:28:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 37 | * "Examples section". |

| Mateusz Starzyk | 06b07fb | 2021-02-18 13:55:21 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 41 | * mbed TLS supports TLSv1.0 up to TLSv1.2 communication by providing the | 
| Paul Bakker | 37ca75d | 2011-01-06 12:28:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 42 | * following: | 
|  | 43 | * - TCP/IP communication functions: listen, connect, accept, read/write. | 
|  | 44 | * - SSL/TLS communication functions: init, handshake, read/write. | 
|  | 45 | * - X.509 functions: CRT, CRL and key handling | 
|  | 46 | * - Random number generation | 
|  | 47 | * - Hashing | 
|  | 48 | * - Encryption/decryption | 
|  | 49 | * | 
| Paul Bakker | dcbfdcc | 2013-09-10 16:16:50 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 50 | * Above functions are split up neatly into logical interfaces. These can be | 
|  | 51 | * used separately to provide any of the above functions or to mix-and-match | 
|  | 52 | * into an SSL server/client solution that utilises a X.509 PKI. Examples of | 
|  | 53 | * such implementations are amply provided with the source code. | 
|  | 54 | * | 
| Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard | b4fe3cb | 2015-01-22 16:11:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 55 | * Note that mbed TLS does not provide a control channel or (multiple) session | 
| Paul Bakker | dcbfdcc | 2013-09-10 16:16:50 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 56 | * handling without additional work from the developer. |

|  | 74 | * - Read/write data (SSL/TLS interface) | 
|  | 75 | * - Close and cleanup (all interfaces) | 
|  | 76 | * |
