:mod:`ssl` -- SSL/TLS module
============================
.. module:: ssl
:synopsis: TLS/SSL wrapper for socket objects
|see_cpython_module| :mod:`python:ssl`.
This module provides access to Transport Layer Security (previously and
widely known as “Secure Sockets Layer”) encryption and peer authentication
facilities for network sockets, both client-side and server-side.
Functions
---------
.. function:: ssl.wrap_socket(sock, server_side=False, keyfile=None, certfile=None, cert_reqs=CERT_NONE, cadata=None, server_hostname=None, do_handshake=True)
Wrap the given *sock* and return a new wrapped-socket object. The implementation
of this function is to first create an `SSLContext` and then call the `SSLContext.wrap_socket`
method on that context object. The arguments *sock*, *server_side* and *server_hostname* are
passed through unchanged to the method call. The argument *do_handshake* is passed through as
*do_handshake_on_connect*. The remaining arguments have the following behaviour:
- *cert_reqs* determines whether the peer (server or client) must present a valid certificate.
Note that for mbedtls based ports, ``ssl.CERT_NONE`` and ``ssl.CERT_OPTIONAL`` will not
validate any certificate, only ``ssl.CERT_REQUIRED`` will.
- *cadata* is a bytes object containing the CA certificate chain (in DER format) that will
validate the peer's certificate. Currently only a single DER-encoded certificate is supported.
Depending on the underlying module implementation in a particular
:term:`MicroPython port`, some or all keyword arguments above may be not supported.
class SSLContext
----------------
.. class:: SSLContext(protocol, /)
Create a new SSLContext instance. The *protocol* argument must be one of the ``PROTOCOL_*``
constants.
.. method:: SSLContext.load_cert_chain(certfile, keyfile)
Load a private key and the corresponding certificate. The *certfile* is a string
with the file path of the certificate. The *keyfile* is a string with the file path
of the private key.
.. admonition:: Difference to CPython
:class: attention
MicroPython extension: *certfile* and *keyfile* can be bytes objects instead of
strings, in which case they are interpreted as the actual certificate/key data.
.. method:: SSLContext.load_verify_locations(cafile=None, cadata=None)
Load the CA certificate chain that will validate the peer's certificate.
*cafile* is the file path of the CA certificates. *cadata* is a bytes object
containing the CA certificates. Only one of these arguments should be provided.
.. method:: SSLContext.get_ciphers()
Get a list of enabled ciphers, returned as a list of strings.
.. method:: SSLContext.set_ciphers(ciphers)
Set the available ciphers for sockets created with this context. *ciphers* should be
a list of strings in the `IANA cipher suite format <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Cipher_Suites>`_ .
.. method:: SSLContext.wrap_socket(sock, *, server_side=False, do_handshake_on_connect=True, server_hostname=None)
Takes a `stream` *sock* (usually socket.socket instance of ``SOCK_STREAM`` type),
and returns an instance of ssl.SSLSocket, wrapping the underlying stream.
The returned object has the usual `stream` interface methods like
``read()``, ``write()``, etc.
- *server_side* selects whether the wrapped socket is on the server or client side.
A server-side SSL socket should be created from a normal socket returned from
:meth:`~socket.socket.accept()` on a non-SSL listening server socket.
- *do_handshake_on_connect* determines whether the handshake is done as part of the ``wrap_socket``
or whether it is deferred to be done as part of the initial reads or writes
For blocking sockets doing the handshake immediately is standard. For non-blocking
sockets (i.e. when the *sock* passed into ``wrap_socket`` is in non-blocking mode)
the handshake should generally be deferred because otherwise ``wrap_socket`` blocks
until it completes. Note that in AXTLS the handshake can be deferred until the first
read or write but it then blocks until completion.
- *server_hostname* is for use as a client, and sets the hostname to check against the received
server certificate. It also sets the name for Server Name Indication (SNI), allowing the server
to present the proper certificate.
.. warning::
Some implementations of ``ssl`` module do NOT validate server certificates,
which makes an SSL connection established prone to man-in-the-middle attacks.
CPython's ``wrap_socket`` returns an ``SSLSocket`` object which has methods typical
for sockets, such as ``send``, ``recv``, etc. MicroPython's ``wrap_socket``
returns an object more similar to CPython's ``SSLObject`` which does not have
these socket methods.
.. attribute:: SSLContext.verify_mode
Set or get the behaviour for verification of peer certificates. Must be one of the
``CERT_*`` constants.
.. note::
``ssl.CERT_REQUIRED`` requires the device's date/time to be properly set, e.g. using
`mpremote rtc --set <mpremote_command_rtc>` or ``ntptime``, and ``server_hostname``
must be specified when on the client side.
Exceptions
----------
.. data:: ssl.SSLError
This exception does NOT exist. Instead its base class, OSError, is used.
Constants
---------
.. data:: ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS_CLIENT
ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS_SERVER
Supported values for the *protocol* parameter.
.. data:: ssl.CERT_NONE
ssl.CERT_OPTIONAL
ssl.CERT_REQUIRED
Supported values for *cert_reqs* parameter, and the :attr:`SSLContext.verify_mode`
attribute.
