2017-09-11ssl: Do not break abstractionIngela Anderton Andin
ssl_pkix_db should not hard code names. On the other hand the names are nicer with as <Prefix>_dist than <Prefix>dist.
2017-09-04ssl: Mend Max session handlingIngela Anderton Andin
The commit 256e01ce80b3aadd63f303b9bda5722ad313220f was a misunderstanding that actually broke the implementation. It is not so important to keep specific max, rather max is a threshold when the table should be shrinked as to not grow indefinitely. New sessions are created when the id is created and may be short lived it they are not registered for reuse due to handshake failure.

2017-02-01ssl: Simplify configuration codeIngela Anderton Andin
Use map instead of large tuple, which was not an option when the code was written originally. More simplifications along these lines may be done later to the state record.
2017-02-01ssl: Make sure PEM cache works as intendedIngela Anderton Andin
Move of PEM cache to own process was flawed and not all PEM files where cached properly. We must properly handle both the ditributed and the normal mode of the ssl application.
2017-01-19ssl: Move PEM cache to a dedicated processIngela Anderton Andin
The PEM cache handling has proven to be too disruptive of the manager process.
2016-08-19Add option to bypass SSL PEM cacheFred Hebert
The current SSL implementation has a PEM cache running through the ssl manager process, whose primary role is caching CA chains from files on disk. This is intended as a way to save on disk operation when the requested certificates are often the same, and those cache values are both time-bound and reference-counted. The code path also includes caching the Erlang-formatted certificate as decoded by the public_key application The same code path is used for DER-encoded certificates, which are passed in memory and do not require file access. These certificates are cached, but not reference-counted and also not shared across connections. For heavy usage of DER-encoded certificates, the PEM cache becomes a central bottleneck for a server, forcing the decoding of every one of them individually through a single critical process. It is also not clear if the cache remains useful for disk certificates in all cases. This commit adds a configuration variable for the ssl application (bypass_pem_cache = true | false) which allows to open files and decode certificates in the calling connection process rather than the manager. When this action takes place, the operations to cache and return data are replaced to strictly return data. To provide a transparent behaviour, the 'CacheDbRef' used to keep track of the certificates in the cache is replaced by the certificates itself, and all further lookup functions or folds can be done locally. This has proven under benchmark to more than triple the performance of the SSL application under load (once the session cache had also been disabled).
2016-06-03ssl: Mitigate load increase when the whole session table is invalidatedIngela Anderton Andin

* ingela/ssl-max-session-table/OTP-13490: ssl: Adjust max table to work as expected from documentation
2016-04-25ssl: Remove use of crypto:rand_bytes/1Ingela Anderton Andin
ssl already used crypto:strong_rand_bytes/1 for most operations as its use cases are mostly cryptographical. Now crypto:strong_rand_bytes/1 will be used everywhere. However crypto:rand_bytes/1 was used as fallback if crypto:strong_rand_bytes/1 throws low_entropy, this will no longer be the case. This is a potential incompatibility. The fallback was introduced a long time ago for interoperability reasons. Now days this should not be a problem, and if it is, the security compromise is not acceptable anyway.
2016-04-14ssl: Adjust max table to work as expected from documentationIngela Anderton Andin
The session table max size should be the configurable value Max and not Max + 1.

2016-01-26ssl: Only start a new session validator if the old one has finished its workIngela Anderton Andin
If the session table is big the validator may not have finshed before the validation interval is up, in this case we should not start a new validator adding to the cpu load.
2015-12-03ssl: Add upper limit for session cacheIngela Anderton Andin
If upper limit is reached invalidate the current cache entries, e.i the session lifetime is the max time a session will be keept, but it may be invalidated earlier if the max limit for the table is reached. This will keep the ssl manager process well behaved, not exhusting memeory. Invalidating the entries will incrementally empty the cache to make room for fresh sessions entries.

2015-02-06ssl: Improve PEM cache by validating entriesIngela Anderton Andin
The PEM cache is now validated by a background process, instead of always keeping it if it is small enough and clearing it otherwhiss. That strategy required that small caches where cleared by API function if a file changes on disk. However document the clearing API function as it can still be usefull.
2014-10-13ssl: Separate session cache for client and serverIngela Anderton Andin
Even though in the most common case an erlang node will not be both client and server, it may happen (for instance when running the erlang ditribution over TLS). Also try to mitigate the affect of dumb clients that could cause a very lagre session cache on the client side that can cause long delays in the client. The server will have other means to handle a large session table and will not do any select operations on it anyhow.

2013-08-28ssl: Make the ssl manager name for erlang distribution over SSL/TLSIngela Anderton Andin
relative to the module name of the ssl_manager. This can be beneficial when making tools that rename modules for internal processing in the tool.

2013-01-17ssl: Certificates and PEM-cache cleaning fixed to avoid memory leakIngela Anderton Andin
Certificate db cleaning messages where sent to the wrong process after restructuring to avoid bottlenecks. It is possible that the ssl manager process gets two cleaning messages for the same entry. E.i. first cleaning message is sent and before it is processed a new reference is allocated and again released for the entry, generating a second cleaning message. Also in ssl_manger:handle_info/2 it is possible that there exists a new reference to an "old" file name with a potential new content.

A general case clause was put before a less general so that the less general case would never match.
2012-06-08ssl: File handling optimizationIngela Anderton Andin
Avoid cach validation with file:file_info/2 as this i too expensive and causes a bottleneck in the file server. Instead we expose a new API function ssl:clear_pem_cache/0 to deal with the problem. As we think it will be of occasional use and the normal case is that the cache will be valid we think it is the right thing to do. Convert file paths to binary representation in the ssl API module to avoid uncessarry calls in file later on. Also add sanity checks for openssl versions in testsuite due to new openssl bugs.

2012-06-08ssl: Move ets:select bottleneck in serverDan Gudmundsson
Only use ssl_manager for selecting new ids to guarantee uniqueness, but reuse check does not need to be performed by the manager.
2012-06-08ssl: Move and avoid ets:select bottleneck in clientIngela Anderton Andin
Do not use ssl_manager process for selecting an id. It's unnecessary to involve the manager process at all on the client side.

2011-11-15Replaced ets:next traversal with ets:foldl and throwIngela Anderton Andin
ets:next needs an explicit safe_fixtable call to be safe, we rather use ets:foldl and throw to get out of it when we find the correct entry.
2011-11-15Improved session cleanup handlingIngela Anderton Andin
Added session status "new" to mark sessions that are in the session database to reserve the session id but not resumable yet and that we want to separate from sessions that has been invalidated for further reuse.
