+  </header>
+  <p>Here we consider the creation of example certificates. 
+    </p>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>The openssl Command</title>
+    <p>The <c>openssl</c> command is a utility that comes with the
+      OpenSSL distribution. It provides a variety of subcommands. Each
+      subcommand is invoked as</p>
+    <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+      openssl subcmd <options and arguments>    ]]></code>
+    <p>where <c>subcmd</c> denotes the subcommand in question.
+      </p>
+    <p>We shall use the following subcommands to create certificates for
+      the purpose of testing Erlang/OTP SSL:
+      </p>
+    <list type="bulleted">
+      <item><em>req</em> to create certificate requests and a
+       self-signed certificates, 
+      </item>
+      <item><em>ca</em> to create certificates from certificate requests.</item>
+    </list>
+    <p>We create the following certificates:
+      </p>
+    <list type="bulleted">
+      <item>the <em>erlangCA</em> root certificate (a self-signed
+       certificate), </item>
+      <item>the <em>otpCA</em> certificate signed by the <em>erlangCA</em>, </item>
+      <item>a client certificate signed by the <em>otpCA</em>, and</item>
+      <item>a server certificate signed by the <em>otpCA</em>.</item>
+    </list>
+
+    <section>
+      <title>The openssl configuration file</title>
+      <p>An <c>openssl</c> configuration file consist of a number of
+        sections, where each section starts with one line containing
+        <c>[ section_name ]</c>, where <c>section_name</c> is the name
+        of the section. The first section of the file is either
+        unnamed, or is named <c>[ default ]</c>. For further details
+        see the OpenSSL config(5) manual page.
+        </p>
+      <p>The required sections for the subcommands we are going to 
+        use are as follows:
+        </p>
+      <table>
+        <row>
+          <cell align="left" valign="middle">subcommand</cell>
+          <cell align="left" valign="middle">required/default section</cell>
+          <cell align="left" valign="middle">override command line option</cell>
+          <cell align="left" valign="middle">configuration file option</cell>
+        </row>
+        <row>
+          <cell align="left" valign="middle">req</cell>
+          <cell align="left" valign="middle">[req]</cell>
+          <cell align="left" valign="middle">-</cell>
+          <cell align="left" valign="middle"><c>-config FILE</c></cell>
+        </row>
+        <row>
+          <cell align="left" valign="middle">ca</cell>
+          <cell align="left" valign="middle">[ca]</cell>
+          <cell align="left" valign="middle"><c>-name section</c></cell>
+          <cell align="left" valign="middle"><c>-config FILE</c></cell>
+        </row>
+        <tcaption>openssl subcommands to use</tcaption>
+      </table>
+    </section>
+
+    <section>
+      <title>Creating the Erlang root CA</title>
+      <p>The Erlang root CA is created with the command</p>
+      <code type="none">
+\011openssl req -new -x509 -config /some/path/req.cnf \\
+\011    -keyout /some/path/key.pem -out /some/path/cert.pem      </code>
+      <p>where the option <c>-new</c> indicates that we want to create
+        a new certificate request and the option <c>-x509</c> implies
+        that a self-signed certificate is created.
+        </p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section>
+      <title>Creating the OTP CA</title>
+      <p>The OTP CA is created by first creating a certificate request
+        with the command</p>
+      <code type="none">
+\011openssl req -new -config /some/path/req.cnf \\
+\011    -keyout /some/path/key.pem -out /some/path/req.pem      </code>
+      <p>and the ask the Erlang CA to sign it:</p>
+      <code type="none">
+\011openssl ca -batch -notext -config /some/path/req.cnf \\
+\011   -extensions ca_cert -in /some/path/req.pem -out /some/path/cert.pem      </code>
+      <p>where the option <c>-extensions</c> refers to a section in the
+        configuration file saying that it should create a CA certificate, 
+        and not a plain user certificate. 
+        </p>
+      <p>The <c>client</c> and <c>server</c> certificates are created
+        similarly, except that the option <c>-extensions</c> then has the 
+        value <c>user_cert</c>.  
+        </p>
+    </section>
+  </section>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>An Example</title>
+    <p>The following module <c>create_certs</c> is used by the Erlang/OTP
+      SSL application for generating certificates to be used in tests. The
+      source code is also found in <c>ssl-X.Y.Z/examples/certs/src</c>.
+      </p>
+    <p>The purpose of the <c>create_certs:all/1</c> function is to make
+      it possible to provide from the <c>erl</c> command line, the
+      full path name of the <c>openssl</c> command.
+      </p>
+    <p>Note that the module creates temporary OpenSSL configuration files
+      for the <c>req</c> and <c>ca</c> subcommands.

+      Layer.

+  <section>
+    <title>NEW SSL</title>
+
+    <p>This manual page describes functions that are defined
+      in the ssl module and represents the new ssl implementation
+      that coexists with the old one, as the new implementation
+      is not yet complete enough to replace the old one.</p>
+       
+    <p>The new implementation can be
+      accessed by providing the option {ssl_imp, new} to the
+      ssl:connect and ssl:listen functions.</p>
+    
+    <p>The new implementation is Erlang based and all logic
+      is in Erlang and only payload encryption calculations are
+      done in C via the crypto application. The main reason for
+      making a new implementation is that the old solution was
+      very crippled as the control of the ssl-socket was deep
+      down in openssl making it hard if not impossible to
+      support all inet options, ipv6 and upgrade of a tcp
+      connection to a ssl connection. The alfa version has a
+      few limitations that will be removed before the ssl-4.0
+      release. Main differences and limitations in the alfa are
+      listed below.</p>
+
+    <list type="bulleted">
+      <item>New ssl requires the crypto
+	application.</item>
+      <item>The option reuseaddr is
+	supported and the default value is false as in gen_tcp.
+	Old ssl is patched to accept that the option is set to
+	true to provide a smoother migration between the
+	versions. In old ssl the option is hard coded to
+	true.</item>
+      <item>ssl:version/0 is replaced by
+            ssl:versions/0</item>
+      <item>ssl:ciphers/0 is replaced by
+            ssl:cipher_suites/0</item>
+      <item>ssl:pid/1 is a
+            meaningless function in new ssl and will be deprecated in
+            ssl-4.0 until it is removed it will return a valid but
+            meaningless pid.</item>
+      <item>New API functions are
+            ssl:shutdown/2, ssl:cipher_suites/[0,1] and
+            ssl:versions/0</item>
+      <item>Diffie-Hellman keyexchange is
+            not supported yet.</item>
+      <item>CRL and policy certificate
+            extensions are not supported yet. </item>
+      <item>Supported SSL/TLS-versions are SSL-3.0 and TLS-1.0 </item>
+      <item>For security reasons sslv2 is not supported.</item>

+    <title>SSL OPTION DESCRIPTIONS</title>
+    
+    <taglist>
+      <tag>{verify, verify_type()}</tag>
+      <item> If <c>verify_none</c> is specified x509-certificate
+      path validation errors at the client side
+      will not  automatically cause the connection to fail, as
+      it will if the verify type is <c>verify_peer</c>. See also
+      the option verify_fun.
+      Servers only do the path validation if <c>verify_peer</c> is set to
+      true, as it then will 
+      send a certificate request to
+      the client (this message is not sent if the verify option is
+      <c>verify_none</c>) and you may then also want to specify
+      the option <c>fail_if_no_peer_cert</c>.
+      </item>
+
+      <tag>{fail_if_no_peer_cert, boolean()}</tag>
+      <item>Used together with {verify, verify_peer} by a ssl server.
+      If set to true,
+      the server will fail if the client does not have a certificate
+      to send, e.i sends a empty certificate, if set to false it will
+      only fail if the client sends a invalid certificate (an empty
+      certificate is considered valid).
+      </item>
+      
+      <tag>{verify_fun, fun(ErrorList) -> boolean()}</tag>
+      <item>Used by the ssl client to determine if 
+	x509-certificate path validations errors are acceptable or
+	if the connection should fail. Defaults to:
+       
+<code>
+fun(ErrorList) ->
+	case lists:foldl(fun({bad_cert,unknown_ca}, Acc) ->
+						  Acc;
+			    (Other, Acc) ->
+				 [Other | Acc]
+			 end, [], ErrorList) of
+	    [] ->
+		true;
+	    [_|_] ->
+		false
+	end
+end
+</code>
+       I.e. by default if the only error found was that the CA-certificate
+       holder was unknown this will be accepted.
+
+       Possible errors in the error list are: 
+       {bad_cert, cert_expired}, {bad_cert, invalid_issuer},
+       {bad_cert, invalid_signature}, {bad_cert, name_not_permitted},
+       {bad_cert, unknown_ca},
+       {bad_cert, cert_expired}, {bad_cert, invalid_issuer},
+       {bad_cert, invalid_signature}, {bad_cert, name_not_permitted},
+       {bad_cert, cert_revoked} (not implemented yet),
+       {bad_cert, unknown_critical_extension} or {bad_cert, term()} (Will
+								    be relevant later when an option is added for the user to be able to verify application specific extensions.) 
+      </item>
+      
+      <tag>{depth, integer()}</tag>
+      <item>Specifies the maximum
+      verification depth, i.e. how far in a chain of certificates the
+      verification process can proceed before the verification is
+      considered to fail. Peer certificate = 0, CA certificate = 1,
+      higher level CA certificate = 2, etc.  The value 2 thus means
+      that a chain can at most contain peer cert, CA cert, next CA
+      cert, and an additional CA cert. The default value is 1.
+      </item>
+
+      <tag>{certfile, path()}</tag>
+      <item>Path to a file containing the
+          user's certificate. Optional for clients but note
+      that some servers requires that the client can certify
+      itself. </item>
+      <tag>{keyfile, path()}</tag>
+      <item>Path to file containing user's
+      private PEM encoded key. As PEM-files may contain several
+      entries this option defaults to the same file as given by
+      certfile option.</item>
+      <tag>{password, string()}</tag>
+      <item>String containing the user's password.
+	Only used if the private keyfile is password protected.
+      </item>
+      <tag>{cacertfile, path()}</tag>
+      <item>Path to file containing PEM encoded
+      CA certificates (trusted certificates used for verifying a peer
+      certificate). May be omitted if you do not want to verify
+      the peer.</item>
+      
+      <tag>{ciphers, ciphers()}</tag>
+      <item>The function <c>ciphers_suites/0</c> can
+	be used to find all available ciphers.
+      </item>
+
+      <tag>{ssl_imp, ssl_imp()}</tag>
+      <item>Specify which ssl implementation you want to use.
+      </item>
+
+      <tag>{reuse_sessions, boolean()}</tag>
+      <item>Specifies if ssl sessions should be reused
+	when possible.
+      </item>
+
+       <tag>{reuse_session, fun(SuggestedSessionId,
+       PeerCert, Compression, CipherSuite) -> boolean()}</tag>
+      <item>Enables the ssl server to have a local policy
+      for deciding if a session should be reused or not,
+      only meaning full if <c>reuse_sessions</c> is set to true.
+      SuggestedSessionId is a binary(),  PeerCert is a DER encoded
+      certificate, Compression is an enumeration integer
+      and CipherSuite of type ciphersuite().      
+      </item>

+    <title>General</title>

+            <p>A new implementation of ssl is released as a alfa
+            version in ssl-3.9 it will later replace the old
+            implementation in ssl-4.0. The new implementation can be
+            accessed by providing the option {ssl_imp, new} to the
+            ssl:connect and ssl:listen functions.</p>
+            <p>The new implementation is Erlang based and all logic
+            is in Erlang and only payload encryption calculations are
+            done in C via the crypto application. The main reason for
+            making a new implementation is that the old solution was
+            very crippled as the control of the ssl-socket was deep
+            down in openssl making it hard if not impossible to
+            support all inet options, ipv6 and upgrade of a tcp
+            connection to a ssl connection. The alfa version has a
+            few limitations that will be removed before the ssl-4.0
+            release. Main differences and limitations in the alfa are

+    <title>Introduction to Certificates</title>
+    <p>Certificates were originally defined by ITU (CCITT) and the latest 
+      definitions are described in <cite id="X.509"></cite>, but those definitions
+      are (as always) not working. 
+      </p>
+    <p>Working certificate definitions for the Internet Community are found
+      in the the PKIX RFCs <cite id="rfc3279"></cite>and <cite id="rfc3280"></cite>. 
+      The parsing of certificates in the Erlang/OTP SSL application is
+      based on those RFCS. 
+      </p>
+    <p>Certificates are defined in terms of ASN.1 (<cite id="X.680"></cite>).
+      For an introduction to ASN.1 see <url href="http://asn1.elibel.tm.fr/">ASN.1 Information Site</url>.
+      </p>
+  </section>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>PKIX Certificates</title>
+    <p>Here we base the PKIX certificate definitions in RFCs <cite id="rfc3279"></cite>and <cite id="rfc3280"></cite>. We however present the
+      definitions according to <c>SSL-PKIX.asn1</c> module, 
+      which is an amelioration of the <c>PKIX1Explicit88.asn1</c>, 
+      <c>PKIX1Implicit88.asn1</c>, and <c>PKIX1Algorithms88.asn1</c>
+      modules. You find all these modules in the <c>pkix</c> subdirectory
+      of SSL. 
+      </p>
+    <p>The Erlang terms that are returned by the functions
+      <c>ssl:peercert/1/2</c>, <c>ssl_pkix:decode_cert/1/2</c>, and
+      <c>ssl_pkix:decode_cert_file/1/2</c> when the option <c>ssl</c>
+      is used in those functions, correspond the ASN.1 structures
+      described in the sequel.

+    <title>General</title>
+
+    <p>There is a new implementation of ssl available in 
+    this module but until it is 100 % complete, so that it can replace
+    the old implementation in all aspects it will be
+    described here <seealso marker="new_ssl"> new ssl API </seealso></p>
+    
+    <p>The reader is advised to also read the <c>ssl(6)</c> manual page
+      describing the SSL application.
+      </p>
+    <warning>
+      <p>It is strongly advised to seed the random generator after
+        the ssl application has been started (see <c>seed/1</c>
+        below), and before any connections are established. Although
+        the port program interfacing to the ssl libraries does a
+        "random" seeding of its own in order to make everything work
+        properly, that seeding is by no means random for the world
+        since it has a constant value which is known to everyone
+        reading the source code of the port program.</p>

+    <p>The socket option <c>{backlog, integer()}</c> is for

+      is for <c>connect/3/4</c> only. 
+      </p>
+    <p>The following socket options are set by default: <c>{mode, list}</c>, <c>{packet, 0}</c>, <c>{header, 0}</c>, <c>{nodelay, false}</c>, <c>{active, true}</c>, <c>{backlog, 5}</c>,

+    <p>Note that the options <c>{mode, binary}</c> and <c>binary</c>
+      are equivalent. Similarly <c>{mode, list}</c> and the absence of

+      </p>
+    <p>The ssl options are for setting specific SSL parameters as follows:

+    <list type="bulleted">
+      <item>
+        <p><c>{verify, code()}</c> Specifies type of verification:
+          0 = do not verify peer; 1 = verify peer, 2 = verify peer,
+          fail if no peer certificate.  The default value is 0.
+          </p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <p><c>{depth, depth()}</c> Specifies the maximum

+          the verification process can proceed before the verification
+          is considered to fail.

+        <p>Peer certificate = 0, CA certificate = 1, higher level CA

+          additional CA cert.
+          </p>
+        <p>The default value is 1.

+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <p><c>{password, string()}</c> String containing the user's
+          password. Only used if the private keyfile is password protected.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <p><c>{cacertfile, path()}</c> Path to file containing PEM encoded
+          CA certificates (trusted certificates used for verifying a peer
+          certificate).</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <p><c>{ciphers, string()}</c> String of ciphers as a colon
+          separated list of ciphers. The function <c>ciphers/0</c> can
+          be used to find all available ciphers.</p>
+      </item>
+    </list>
+    <p>The type <c>sslsocket()</c> is opaque to the user.
+      </p>
+    <p>The owner of a socket is the one that created it by a call to
+      <c>transport_accept/[1,2]</c>,  <c>connect/[3,4]</c>,
+      or <c>listen/2</c>.
+      </p>
+    <p>When a socket is in active mode (the default), data from the
+      socket is delivered to the owner of the socket in the form of
+      messages:

+    <p>A <c>Timeout</c> argument specifies a timeout in milliseconds. The 
+      default value for a <c>Timeout</c> argument is <c>infinity</c>.
+      </p>
+    <p>Functions listed below may return the value <c>{error, closed}</c>, which only indicates that the SSL socket is
+      considered closed for the operation in question. It is for
+      instance possible to have <c>{error, closed}</c> returned from
+      an call to <c>send/2</c>, and a subsequent call to <c>recv/3</c>
+      returning <c>{ok, Data}</c>.
+      </p>
+    <p>Hence a return value of <c>{error, closed}</c> must not be
+      interpreted as if the socket was completely closed. On the
+      contrary, in order to free all resources occupied by an SSL
+      socket, <c>close/1</c> must be called, or else the process owning
+      the socket has to terminate.
+      </p>
+    <p>For each SSL socket there is an Erlang process representing the
+      socket.  When a socket is opened, that process links to the
+      calling client process.  Implementations that want to detect
+      abnormal exits from the socket process by receiving <c>{'EXIT', Pid, Reason}</c> messages, should use the function <c>pid/1</c>
+      to retrieve the process identifier from the socket, in order to
+      be able to match exit messages properly.</p>

+    <title>Warning</title>
+    <p>In previous versions of Erlang/OTP SSL it was advised, as a
+      work-around, to set the operating system environment variable
+      <c>SSL_CERT_FILE</c> to point at a file containing CA
+      certificates. That variable is no longer needed, and is not
+      recognised by Erlang/OTP SSL any more.
+      </p>
+    <p>However, the OpenSSL package does interpret that environment
+      variable. Hence a setting of that variable might have
+      unpredictable effects on the Erlang/OTP SSL application. It is
+      therefore adviced to not used that environment variable at all.</p>

+  <p>This chapter describes how the Erlang distribution can use 
+    SSL to get additional verification and security.</p>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>Introduction</title>
+    <p>The Erlang distribution can in theory use almost any connection
+      based protocol as bearer. A module that implements the protocol
+      specific parts of connection setup is however needed. The
+      default distribution module is <c>inet_tcp_dist</c> which is
+      included in the Kernel application. When starting an
+      Erlang node distributed, <c>net_kernel</c> uses this module to
+      setup listen ports and connections. </p>
+    <p>In the SSL application there is an additional distribution
+      module, <c>inet_ssl_dist</c> which can be used as an
+      alternative. All distribution connections will be using SSL and
+      all participating Erlang nodes in a distributed system must use
+      this distribution module.</p>
+    <p>The security depends on how the connections are set up, one can
+      use key files or certificates to just get a crypted
+      connection. One can also make the SSL package verify the
+      certificates of other nodes to get additional security. 
+      Cookies are however always used as they can be used to
+      differentiate between two different Erlang networks.</p>
+    <p>Setting up Erlang distribution over SSL involves some simple but
+      necessary steps:</p>
+    <list type="bulleted">
+      <item>Building boot scripts including the SSL application</item>
+      <item>Specifying the distribution module for net_kernel</item>
+      <item>Specifying security options and other SSL options</item>
+    </list>
+    <p>The rest of this chapter describes the above mentioned steps in
+      more detail.</p>
+  </section>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>Building boot scripts including the SSL application</title>
+    <p>Boot scripts are built using the <c>systools</c> utility in the
+      SASL application. Refer to the SASL documentations
+      for more information on systools. This is only an example of
+      what can be done.</p>
+    <p>The simplest boot script possible includes only the Kernel
+      and STDLIB applications. Such a script is located in the
+      Erlang distributions bin directory. The source for the script
+      can be found under the Erlang installation top directory under
+      <c><![CDATA[releases/<OTP version>start_clean.rel]]></c>. Copy that
+      script to another location (and preferably another name) 
+      and add the SSL application with its current version number
+      after the STDLIB application.</p>
+    <p>An example .rel file with SSL added may look like this:</p>
+    <code type="none">
+{release, {"OTP  APN 181 01","P7A"}, {erts, "5.0"},
+ [{kernel,"2.5"},
+  {stdlib,"1.8.1"},
+  {ssl,"2.2.1"}]}.    </code>
+    <p>Note that the version numbers surely will differ in your system.
+      Whenever one of the applications included in the script is
+      upgraded, the script has to be changed.</p>
+    <p>Assuming the above .rel file is stored in a file
+      <c>start_ssl.rel</c> in the current directory, a boot script 
+      can be built like this:</p>
+    <code type="none">
+1> systools:make_script("start_ssl",[]).    </code>
+    <p>There will now be a file <c>start_ssl.boot</c> in the current
+      directory. To test the boot script, start Erlang with the
+      <c>-boot</c> command line parameter specifying this boot script
+      (with its full path but without the <c>.boot</c> suffix), in
+      Unix it could look like this:</p>
+    <p></p>
+    <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+$ erl -boot /home/me/ssl/start_ssl
+Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.0
+ 
+Eshell V5.0  (abort with ^G)
+1> whereis(ssl_server).
+<0.32.0>    ]]></code>
+    <p>The <c>whereis</c> function call verifies that the SSL
+      application is really started.</p>
+    <p>As an alternative to building a bootscript, one can explicitly
+      add the path to the ssl <c>ebin</c> directory on the command
+      line. This is done with the command line option <c>-pa</c>. This
+      works as the ssl application really need not be started for the
+      distribution to come up, a primitive version of the ssl server
+      is started by the distribution module itself, so as long as the
+      primitive code server can reach the code, the distribution will
+      start. The <c>-pa</c> method is only recommended for testing
+      purposes.</p>
+  </section>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>Specifying distribution module for net_kernel</title>
+    <p>The distribution module for SSL is named <c>inet_ssl_dist</c>
+      and is specified on the command line whit the <c>-proto_dist</c>
+      option. The argument to <c>-proto_dist</c> should be the module
+      name without the <c>_dist</c> suffix, so this distribution
+      module is specified with <c>-proto_dist inet_ssl</c> on the
+      command line.</p>
+    <p></p>
+    <p>Extending the command line from above gives us the following:</p>
+    <code type="none">
+$ erl -boot /home/me/ssl/start_ssl -proto_dist inet_ssl    </code>
+    <p>For the distribution to actually be started, we need to give
+      the emulator a name as well:</p>
+    <code type="none">
+$ erl -boot /home/me/ssl/start_ssl -proto_dist inet_ssl -sname ssl_test
+Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.0 [source]
+ 
+Eshell V5.0  (abort with ^G)
+(ssl_test@myhost)1>     </code>
+    <p>Note however that a node started in this way will refuse to talk
+      to other nodes, as no certificates or key files are supplied
+      (see below).</p>
+    <p>When the SSL distribution starts, the OTP system is in its
+      early boot stage, why neither <c>application</c> nor <c>code</c>
+      are usable. As SSL needs to start a port program in this early
+      stage, it tries to determine the path to that program from the
+      primitive code loaders code path. If this fails, one need to
+      specify the directory where the port program resides. This can
+      be done either with an environment variable 
+      <c>ERL_SSL_PORTPROGRAM_DIR</c> or with the command line option
+      <c>-ssl_portprogram_dir</c>. The value should be the directory
+      where the <c>ssl_esock</c> port program is located. Note that
+      this option is never needed in a normal Erlang installation.</p>
+  </section>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>Specifying security options and other SSL options</title>
+    <p>For SSL to work, you either need certificate files or a
+      key file. Certificate files can be specified both when working as
+      client and as server (connecting or accepting). </p>
+    <p></p>
+    <p>On the <c>erl</c> command line one can specify options that the
+      ssl distribution will add when creation a socket. It is
+      mandatory to specify at least a key file or client and server
+      certificates. One can specify any <em>SSL option</em> on the
+      command line, but must not specify any socket options (like
+      packet size and such). The SSL options are listed in the
+      Reference Manual. The only difference between the
+      options in the reference manual and the ones that can be
+      specified to the distribution on the command line is that
+      <c>certfile</c> can (and usually needs to) be specified as
+      <c>client_certfile</c> and <c>server_certfile</c>. The
+      <c>client_certfile</c> is used when the distribution initiates a
+      connection to another node and the <c>server_cerfile</c> is used
+      when accepting a connection from a remote node. </p>
+    <p>The command line argument for specifying the SSL options is named 
+      <c>-ssl_dist_opt</c> and should be followed by an even number of
+      SSL options/option values. The <c>-ssl_dist_opt</c> argument can
+      be repeated any number of times.</p>
+    <p>An example command line would now look something like this
+      (line breaks in the command are for readability, 
+      they should not be there when typed):</p>
+    <code type="none">
+$ erl -boot /home/me/ssl/start_ssl -proto_dist inet_ssl 
+  -ssl_dist_opt client_certfile "/home/me/ssl/erlclient.pem" 
+  -ssl_dist_opt server_certfile "/home/me/ssl/erlserver.pem" 
+  -ssl_dist_opt verify 1 depth 1     
+  -sname ssl_test
+Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.0 [source]
+ 
+Eshell V5.0  (abort with ^G)
+(ssl_test@myhost)1>     </code>
+    <p>A node started in this way will be fully functional, using SSL
+      as the distribution protocol.</p>
+  </section>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>Setting up environment to always use SSL</title>
+    <p>A convenient way to specify arguments to Erlang is to use the
+      <c>ERL_FLAGS</c> environment variable. All the flags needed to
+      use SSL distribution can be specified in that variable and will
+      then be interpreted as command line arguments for all
+      subsequent invocations of Erlang.</p>
+    <p></p>
+    <p>In a Unix (Bourne) shell it could look like this (line breaks for
+      readability):</p>
+    <code type="none">
+$ ERL_FLAGS="-boot \\"/home/me/ssl/start_ssl\\" -proto_dist inet_ssl 
+  -ssl_dist_opt client_certfile \\"/home/me/ssl/erlclient.pem\\" 
+  -ssl_dist_opt server_certfile \\"/home/me/ssl/erlserver.pem\\" 
+  -ssl_dist_opt verify 1 -ssl_dist_opt depth 1"
+$ export ERL_FLAGS
+$ erl -sname ssl_test
+Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.0 [source]
+ 
+Eshell V5.0  (abort with ^G)
+(ssl_test@myhost)1> init:get_arguments().
+[{root,["/usr/local/erlang"]},
+ {progname,["erl "]},
+ {sname,["ssl_test"]},
+ {boot,["/home/me/ssl/start_ssl"]},
+ {proto_dist,["inet_ssl"]},
+ {ssl_dist_opt,["client_certfile","/home/me/ssl/erlclient.pem"]},
+ {ssl_dist_opt,["server_certfile","/home/me/ssl/erlserver.pem"]},
+ {ssl_dist_opt,["verify","1"]},
+ {ssl_dist_opt,["depth","1"]},
+ {home,["/home/me"]}]    </code>
+    <p>The <c>init:get_arguments()</c> call verifies that the correct
+      arguments are supplied to the emulator. </p>

+
+  <section>
+    <title>SSL Connections</title>
+    <p>The SSL protocol is implemented on top of the TCP/IP protocol.
+      From an endpoint view it also has the same type of connections
+      as that protocol, almost always created by calls to socket
+      interface functions <em>listen</em>, <em>accept</em> and
+      <em>connect</em>. The endpoints are <em>servers</em> and
+      <em>clients</em>.
+      </p>
+    <p>A <em>server</em><em>listen</em>s for connections on a
+      specific address and port. This is done once. The server then
+      <em>accept</em>s each connections on that same address and
+      port. This is typically done indefinitely many times.
+      </p>
+    <p>A <em>client</em> connects to a server on a specific address 
+      and port. For each purpose this is done once.
+      </p>
+    <p>For a plain TCP/IP connection the establishment of a connection
+      (through an accept or a connect) is followed by data transfer between
+      the client and server, finally ended by a connection close. 
+      </p>
+    <p>An SSL connection also consists of data transfer and connection
+      close, However, the data transfer contains encrypted data, and
+      in order to establish the encryption parameters, the data
+      transfer is preceded by an SSL <em>handshake</em>. In this
+      handshake the server plays a dominant role, and the main
+      instrument used in achieving a valid SSL connection is the
+      server's <em>certificate</em>. We consider certificates in the
+      next section, and the SSL handshake in a subsequent section.</p>
+  </section>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>Certificates</title>
+    <p>A certificate is similar to a driver's license, or a
+      passport. The holder of the certificate is called the
+      <em>subject</em>.  First of all the certificate identifies the
+      subject in terms of the name of the subject, its postal address,
+      country name, company name (if applicable), etc.
+      </p>
+    <p>Although a driver's license is always issued by a well-known and
+      distinct authority, a certificate may have an <em>issuer</em>
+      that is not so well-known. Therefore a certificate also always
+      contains information on the issuer of the certificate. That
+      information is of the same type as the information on the
+      subject. The issuer of a certificate also signs the certificate
+      with a <em>digital signature</em> (the signature is an inherent
+      part of the certificate), which allow others to verify that the
+      issuer really is the issuer of the certificate.
+      </p>
+    <p>Now that a certificate can be checked by verifying the
+      signature of the issuer, the question is how to trust the
+      issuer. The answer to this question is to require that there is
+      a certificate for the issuer as well. That issuer has in turn an
+      issuer, which must also have a certificate, and so on. This
+      <em>certificate chain</em> has to have en end, which then must
+      be a certificate that is trusted by other means. We shall cover
+      this problem of <em>authentication</em> in a subsequent
+      section.
+      </p>
+  </section>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>Encryption Algorithms</title>
+    <p>An encryption algorithm is a mathematical algorithm for
+      encryption and decryption of messages (arrays of bytes,
+      say). The algorithm as such is always required to be publicly
+      known, otherwise its strength cannot be evaluated, and hence it
+      cannot be used reliably. The secrecy of an encrypted message is
+      not achieved by the secrecy of the algorithm used, but by the
+      secrecy of the <em>keys</em> used as input to the encryption and
+      decryption algorithms. For an account of cryptography in general
+      see <cite id="schneier"></cite>.
+      </p>
+    <p>There are two classes of encryption algorithms: <em>symmetric key</em> algorithms and <em>public key</em> algorithms.  Both
+      types of algorithms are used in the SSL protocol.
+      </p>
+    <p>In the sequel we assume holders of keys keep them secret (except
+      public keys) and that they in that sense are trusted. How a 
+      holder of a secret key is proved to be the one it claims to be
+      is a question of <em>authentication</em>, which, in the context
+      of the SSL protocol, is described in a section further below.
+      </p>
+
+    <section>
+      <title>Symmetric Key Algorithms</title>
+      <p>A <em>symmetric key</em> algorithm has one key only. The key
+        is used for both encryption and decryption. Obviously the key
+        of a symmetric key algorithm must always be kept secret by the
+        users of the key. DES is an example of a symmetric key
+        algorithm.
+        </p>
+      <p>Symmetric key algorithms are fast compared to public key
+        algorithms. They are therefore typically used for encrypting
+        bulk data.
+        </p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section>
+      <title>Public Key Algorithms</title>
+      <p>A <em>public key</em> algorithm has two keys. Any of the two
+        keys can be used for encryption. A message encrypted with one
+        of the keys, can only be decrypted with the other key. One of
+        the keys is public (known to the world), while the other key
+        is private (i.e. kept secret) by the owner of the two keys.
+        </p>
+      <p>RSA is an example of a public key algorithm.
+        </p>
+      <p>Public key algorithms are slow compared to symmetric key
+        algorithms, and they are therefore seldom used for bulk data
+        encryption. They are therefore only used in cases where the
+        fact that one key is public and the other is private, provides
+        features that cannot be provided by symmetric algorithms.
+        </p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section>
+      <title>Digital Signature Algorithms</title>
+      <p>An interesting feature of a public key algorithm is that its
+        public and private keys can both be used for encryption.
+        Anyone can use the public key to encrypt a message, and send
+        that message to the owner of the private key, and be sure of
+        that only the holder of the private key can decrypt the
+        message.
+        </p>
+      <p>On the other hand, the owner of the private key can encrypt a
+        message with the private key, thus obtaining an encrypted
+        message that can decrypted by anyone having the public key.
+        </p>
+      <p>The last approach can be used as a digital signature
+        algorithm.  The holder of the private key signs an array of
+        bytes by performing a specified well-known <em>message digest algorithm</em> to compute a hash of the array, encrypts the
+        hash value with its private key, an then presents the original
+        array, the name of the digest algorithm, and the encryption of
+        the hash value as a <em>signed array of bytes</em>.
+        </p>
+      <p>Now anyone having the public key, can decrypt the encrypted
+        hash value with that key, compute the hash with the specified
+        digest algorithm, and check that the hash values compare equal
+        in order to verify that the original array was indeed signed
+        by the holder of the private key.
+        </p>
+      <p>What we have accounted for so far is by no means all that can
+        be said about digital signatures (see <cite id="schneier"></cite>for
+        further details).

+      <title>Message Digests Algorithms</title>
+      <p>A message digest algorithm is a hash function that accepts 
+        an array bytes of arbitrary but finite length of input, and 
+        outputs an array of bytes of fixed length. Such an algorithm
+        is also required to be very hard to invert.  
+        </p>
+      <p>MD5 (16 bytes output) and SHA1 (20 bytes output) are examples
+        of message digest algorithms.
+        </p>

+
+  <section>
+    <title>SSL Handshake</title>
+    <p>The main purpose of the handshake performed before an an SSL
+      connection is established is to negotiate the encryption
+      algorithm and key to be used for the bulk data transfer between
+      the client and the server. We are writing <em>the</em> key,
+      since the algorithm to choose for bulk encryption one of the
+      symmetric algorithms.
+      </p>
+    <p>There is thus only one key to agree upon, and obviously that
+      key has to be kept secret between the client and the server. To
+      obtain that the handshake has to be encrypted as well.
+      </p>
+    <p>The SSL protocol requires that the server always sends its
+      certificate to the client in the beginning of the handshake. The
+      client then retrieves the server's public key from the
+      certificate, which means that the client can use the server's
+      public key to encrypt messages to the server, and the server can
+      decrypt those messages with its private key. Similarly, the
+      server can encrypt messages to the client with its private key,
+      and the client can decrypt messages with the server's public
+      key. It is thus is with the server's public and private keys
+      that messages in the handshake are encrypted and decrypted, and
+      hence the key agreed upon for symmetric encryption of bulk data
+      can be kept secret (there are more things to consider to really
+      keep it secret, see <cite id="rescorla"></cite>).
+      </p>
+    <p>The above indicates that the server does not care who is
+      connecting, and that only the client has the possibility to
+      properly identify the server based on the server's certificate.
+      That is indeed true in the minimal use of the protocol, but it
+      is possible to instruct the server to request the certificate of
+      the client, in order to have a means to identify the client, but
+      it is by no means required to establish an SSL connection.
+      </p>
+    <p>If a server request the client certificate, it verifies, as a
+      part of the protocol, that the client really holds the private
+      key of the certificate by sending the client a string of bytes
+      to encrypt with its private key, which the server then decrypts
+      with the client's public key, the result of which is compared
+      with the original string of bytes (a similar procedure is always
+      performed by the client when it has received the server's
+      certificate).
+      </p>
+    <p>The way clients and servers <em>authenticate</em> each other,
+      i.e. proves that their respective peers are what they claim to
+      be, is the topic of the next section.
+      </p>
+  </section>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>Authentication</title>
+    <p>As we have already seen the reception of a certificate from a
+      peer is not enough to prove that the peer is authentic. More
+      certificates are needed, and we have to consider how certificates
+      are issued and on what grounds.
+      </p>
+    <p>Certificates are issued by <em>certification authorities</em>
+      (<em>CA</em>s) only. They issue certificates both for other CAs
+      and ordinary users (which are not CAs). 
+      </p>
+    <p>Certain CAs are <em>top CAs</em>, i.e. they do not have a
+      certificate issued by another CA. Instead they issue their own
+      certificate, where the subject and issuer part of the
+      certificate are identical (such a certificate is called a
+      self-signed certificate). A top CA has to be well-known, and has
+      to have a publicly available policy telling on what grounds it
+      issues certificates. 
+      </p>
+    <p>There are a handful of top CAs in the world. You can examine the
+      certificates of several of them by clicking through the menus of
+      your web browser. 
+      </p>
+    <p>A top CA typically issues certificates for other CAs, called
+      <em>intermediate CAs</em>, but possibly also to ordinary users. Thus
+      the certificates derivable from a top CA constitute a tree, where
+      the leaves of the tree are ordinary user certificates. 
+      </p>
+    <p>A <em>certificate chain</em> is an ordered sequence of
+      certificates, <c>C1, C2, ..., Cn</c>, say, where <c>C1</c> is a
+      top CA certificate, and where <c>Cn</c> is an ordinary user
+      certificate, and where the holder of <c>C1</c> is the issuer of
+      <c>C2</c>, the holder of <c>C2</c> is the issuer of <c>C3</c>,
+      ..., and the holder of <c>Cn-1</c> is the issuer of <c>Cn</c>,
+      the ordinary user certificate. The holders of <c>C2, C3, ..., Cn-1</c> are then intermediate CAs.
+      </p>
+    <p>Now to verify that a certificate chain is unbroken we have to
+      take the public key from each certificate <c>Ck</c>, and apply
+      that key to decrypt the signature of certificate <c>Ck-1</c>,
+      thus obtaining the message digest computed by the holder of the
+      <c>Ck</c> certificate, compute the real message digest of the
+      <c>Ck-1</c> certificate and compare the results. If they compare
+      equal the link of the chain between <c>Ck</c> and <c>Ck-1</c> is
+      considered to unbroken. This is done for each link k = 1, 2,
+      ..., n-1. If all links are found to be unbroken, the user
+      certificate <c>Cn</c> is considered authenticated.
+      </p>
+
+    <section>
+      <title>Trusted Certificates</title>
+      <p>Now that there is a way to authenticate a certificate by
+        checking that all links of a certificate chain are unbroken,
+        the question is how you can be sure to trust the certificates
+        in the chain, and in particular the top CA certificate of the
+        chain.
+        </p>
+      <p>To provide an answer to that question consider the
+        perspective of a client, which have just received the
+        certificate of the server. In order to authenticate the server
+        the client has to construct a certificate chain and to prove
+        that the chain is unbroken. The client has to have a set of CA
+        certificates (top CA or intermediate CA certificates) not
+        obtained from the server, but obtained by other means. Those
+        certificates are kept <c>locally</c> by the client, and are 
+        trusted by the client.
+        </p>
+      <p>More specifically, the client does not really have to have
+        top CA certificates in its local storage. In order to
+        authenticate a server it is sufficient for the client to
+        posses the trusted certificate of the issuer of the server
+        certificate.
+        </p>
+      <p>Now that is not the whole story. A server can send an
+        (incomplete) certificate chain to its client, and then the
+        task of the client is to construct a certificate chain that
+        begins with a trusted certificate and ends with the server's
+        certificate. (A client can also send a chain to its server, 
+        provided the server requested the client's certificate.)
+        </p>
+      <p>All this means that an unbroken certificate chain begins with
+        a trusted certificate (top CA or not), and ends with the peer
+        certificate. That is the end of the chain is obtained from the
+        peer, but the beginning of the chain is obtained from local
+        storage, which is considered trusted.
+        </p>

+  <p>Here we provide an introduction to using the Erlang/OTP SSL
+    application, which is accessed through the <c>ssl</c> interface
+    module. 
+    </p>
+  <p>We also present example code in the Erlang module
+    <c>client_server</c>, also provided in the directory
+    <c>ssl-X.Y.Z/examples</c>, with source code in <c>src</c> and the
+    compiled module in <c>ebin</c> of that directory.
+    </p>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>The ssl Module</title>
+    <p>The <c>ssl</c> module provides the user interface to the Erlang/OTP
+      SSL application. The interface functions provided are very similar
+      to those provided by the <c>gen_tcp</c> and <c>inet</c> modules. 
+      </p>
+    <p>Servers use the interface functions <c>listen</c> and
+      <c>accept</c>. The <c>listen</c> function specifies a TCP port
+      to to listen to, and each call to the <c>accept</c> function
+      establishes an incoming connection.
+      </p>
+    <p>Clients use the <c>connect</c> function which specifies the address 
+      and port of a server to connect to, and  a successful call establishes
+      such a connection. 
+      </p>
+    <p>The <c>listen</c> and <c>connect</c> functions have almost all
+      the options that the corresponding functions in <c>gen_tcp/</c> have, 
+      but there are also additional options specific to the SSL protocol. 
+      </p>
+    <p>The most important SSL specific option is the <c>cacertfile</c>
+      option which specifies a local file containing trusted CA
+      certificates which are and used for peer authentication. This
+      option is used by clients and servers in case they want to
+      authenticate their peers.
+      </p>
+    <p>The <c>certfile</c> option specifies a local path to a file
+      containing the certificate of the holder of the connection
+      endpoint. In case of a server endpoint this option is mandatory
+      since the contents of the sever certificate is needed in the
+      the handshake preceding the establishment of a connection. 
+      </p>
+    <p>Similarly, the <c>keyfile</c> option points to a local file
+      containing the private key of the holder of the endpoint. If the
+      <c>certfile</c> option is present, this option has to be
+      specified as well, unless the private key is provided in the
+      same file as specified by the <c>certfile</c> option (a
+      certificate and a private key can thus coexist in the same file).
+      </p>
+    <p>The <c>verify</c> option specifies how the peer should be verified:
+      </p>
+    <taglist>
+      <tag>0</tag>
+      <item>Do not verify the peer,</item>
+      <tag>1</tag>
+      <item>Verify peer,</item>
+      <tag>2</tag>
+      <item>Verify peer, fail the verification if the peer has no 
+       certificate. </item>
+    </taglist>
+    <p>The <c>depth</c> option specifies the maximum length of the
+      verification certificate chain. Depth = 0 means the peer
+      certificate, depth = 1 the CA certificate, depth = 2 the next CA
+      certificate etc. If the verification process does not find a
+      trusted CA certificate within the maximum length, the verification
+      fails.
+      </p>
+    <p>The <c>ciphers</c> option specifies which ciphers to use (a
+      string of colon separated cipher names). To obtain a list of
+      available ciphers, evaluate the <c>ssl:ciphers/0</c> function
+      (the SSL application has to be running). 
+      </p>
