ssl Interface Functions for Secure Socket Layer

This module contains interface functions to the Secure Socket Layer.

SSL ssl requires the crypto and public_key applications. Supported SSL/TLS-versions are SSL-3.0, TLS-1.0, TLS-1.1 and TLS-1.2. For security reasons SSL-2.0 is not supported. For security reasons SSL-3.0 is no longer supported by default, but may be configured. Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman cipher suites are supported but not Diffie Hellman Certificates cipher suites. Elliptic Curve cipher suites are supported if crypto supports it and named curves are used. Export cipher suites are not supported as the U.S. lifted its export restrictions in early 2000. IDEA cipher suites are not supported as they have become deprecated by the latest TLS spec so there is not any real motivation to implement them. CRL validation is supported. Policy certificate extensions are not supported yet. Support for 'Server Name Indication' extension client side (RFC 6066 section 3).
COMMON DATA TYPES

The following data types are used in the functions below:

boolean() = true | false

option() = socketoption() | ssloption() | transportoption()

socketoption() = proplists:property() - The default socket options are [{mode,list},{packet, 0},{header, 0},{active, true}].

For valid options see inet(3) and gen_tcp(3).

ssloption() = {verify, verify_type()} | {verify_fun, {fun(), term()}} | {fail_if_no_peer_cert, boolean()} {depth, integer()} | {cert, der_encoded()}| {certfile, path()} | {key, {'RSAPrivateKey'| 'DSAPrivateKey' | 'ECPrivateKey' |'PrivateKeyInfo', der_encoded()}} | {keyfile, path()} | {password, string()} | {cacerts, [der_encoded()]} | {cacertfile, path()} | |{dh, der_encoded()} | {dhfile, path()} | {ciphers, ciphers()} | {user_lookup_fun, {fun(), term()}}, {psk_identity, string()}, {srp_identity, {string(), string()}} | {ssl_imp, ssl_imp()} | {reuse_sessions, boolean()} | {reuse_session, fun()} {alpn_advertised_protocols, [binary()]} | {alpn_preferred_protocols, [binary()]} | {next_protocols_advertised, [binary()]} | {client_preferred_next_protocols, {client | server, [binary()]} | {client | server, [binary()], binary()}} | {log_alert, boolean()} | {server_name_indication, hostname() | disable}

transportoption() = {cb_info, {CallbackModule :: atom(), DataTag :: atom(), ClosedTag :: atom(), ErrTag:atom()}} - defaults to {gen_tcp, tcp, tcp_closed, tcp_error}. Can be used to customize the transport layer. The callback module must implement a reliable transport protocol and behave as gen_tcp and in addition have functions corresponding to inet:setopts/2, inet:getopts/2, inet:peername/1, inet:sockname/1 and inet:port/1. The callback gen_tcp is treated specially and will call inet directly.

      CallbackModule = atom()

      DataTag = atom() - tag used in socket data message.

      ClosedTag = atom() - tag used in socket close message.

verify_type() = verify_none | verify_peer

path() = string() - representing a file path.

der_encoded() = binary() -Asn1 DER encoded entity as an erlang binary.

host() = hostname() | ipaddress()

hostname() = string()

ip_address() = {N1,N2,N3,N4} % IPv4 | {K1,K2,K3,K4,K5,K6,K7,K8} % IPv6

sslsocket() - opaque to the user.

protocol() = sslv3 | tlsv1 | 'tlsv1.1' | 'tlsv1.2'

ciphers() = [ciphersuite()] | string() (according to old API)

ciphersuite() = {key_exchange(), cipher(), hash()}

key_exchange() = rsa | dhe_dss | dhe_rsa | dh_anon | psk | dhe_psk | rsa_psk | srp_anon | srp_dss | srp_rsa | ecdh_anon | ecdh_ecdsa | ecdhe_ecdsa | ecdh_rsa | ecdhe_rsa

cipher() = rc4_128 | des_cbc | '3des_ede_cbc' | aes_128_cbc | aes_256_cbc | aes_128_gcm | aes_256_gcm

hash() = md5 | sha

prf_random() = client_random | server_random

srp_param_type() = srp_1024 | srp_1536 | srp_2048 | srp_3072 | srp_4096 | srp_6144 | srp_8192

SSL OPTION DESCRIPTIONS - COMMON for SERVER and CLIENT

Options described here are options that are have the same meaning in the client and the server.

{cert, der_encoded()} The DER encoded users certificate. If this option is supplied it will override the certfile option. {certfile, path()} Path to a file containing the user's PEM encoded certificate. {key, {'RSAPrivateKey'| 'DSAPrivateKey' | 'ECPrivateKey' |'PrivateKeyInfo', der_encoded()}} The DER encoded users private key. If this option is supplied it will override the keyfile option. {keyfile, path()} 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. {password, string()} String containing the user's password. Only used if the private keyfile is password protected. {cacerts, [der_encoded()]} The DER encoded trusted certificates. If this option is supplied it will override the cacertfile option. {ciphers, ciphers()} The cipher suites that should be supported. The function cipher_suites/0 can be used to find all ciphers that are supported by default. cipher_suites(all) may be called to find all available cipher suites. Pre-Shared Key (RFC 4279 and RFC 5487), Secure Remote Password (RFC 5054) and anonymous cipher suites only work if explicitly enabled by this option and they are supported/enabled by the peer also. Note that anonymous cipher suites are supported for testing purposes only and should not be used when security matters. {ssl_imp, new | old} No longer has any meaning as the old implementation has been removed, it will be ignored. {secure_renegotiate, boolean()} Specifies if to reject renegotiation attempt that does not live up to RFC 5746. By default secure_renegotiate is set to false i.e. secure renegotiation will be used if possible but it will fallback to unsecure renegotiation if the peer does not support RFC 5746. {depth, integer()} The depth is the maximum number of non-self-issued intermediate certificates that may follow the peer certificate in a valid certification path. So if depth is 0 the PEER must be signed by the trusted ROOT-CA directly, if 1 the path can be PEER, CA, ROOT-CA, if it is 2 PEER, CA, CA, ROOT-CA and so on. The default value is 1. {verify_fun, {Verifyfun :: fun(), InitialUserState :: term()}}

The verification fun should be defined as:

fun(OtpCert :: #'OTPCertificate'{}, Event :: {bad_cert, Reason :: atom() | {revoked, atom()}} | {extension, #'Extension'{}}, InitialUserState :: term()) -> {valid, UserState :: term()} | {valid_peer, UserState :: term()} | {fail, Reason :: term()} | {unknown, UserState :: term()}.

The verify fun will be called during the X509-path validation when an error or an extension unknown to the ssl application is encountered. Additionally it will be called when a certificate is considered valid by the path validation to allow access to each certificate in the path to the user application. Note that it will differentiate between the peer certificate and CA certificates by using valid_peer or valid as the second argument to the verify fun. See the public_key User's Guide for definition of #'OTPCertificate'{} and #'Extension'{}.

If the verify callback fun returns {fail, Reason}, the verification process is immediately stopped and an alert is sent to the peer and the TLS/SSL handshake is terminated. If the verify callback fun returns {valid, UserState}, the verification process is continued. If the verify callback fun always returns {valid, UserState}, the TLS/SSL handshake will not be terminated with respect to verification failures and the connection will be established. If called with an extension unknown to the user application, the return value {unknown, UserState} should be used.

The default verify_fun option in verify_peer mode:

{fun(_,{bad_cert, _} = Reason, _) -> {fail, Reason}; (_,{extension, _}, UserState) -> {unknown, UserState}; (_, valid, UserState) -> {valid, UserState}; (_, valid_peer, UserState) -> {valid, UserState} end, []}

The default verify_fun option in verify_none mode:

{fun(_,{bad_cert, _}, UserState) -> {valid, UserState}; (_,{extension, _}, UserState) -> {unknown, UserState}; (_, valid, UserState) -> {valid, UserState}; (_, valid_peer, UserState) -> {valid, UserState} end, []}

Possible path validation errors are given on the form {bad_cert, Reason} where Reason is:

unknown_ca No trusted CA was found in the trusted store. The trusted CA is normally a so called ROOT CA that is a self-signed cert. Trust may be claimed for an intermediat CA (trusted anchor does not have to be self signed according to X-509) by using the option partial_chain selfsigned_peer The chain consisted only of one self-signed certificate. PKIX X-509-path validation error Possible such reasons see public_key:pkix_path_validation/3 {crl_check, boolean() | peer | best_effort } Perform CRL (Certificate Revocation List) verification (public_key:pkix_crls_validate/3) on all the certificates during the path validation (public_key:pkix_path_validation/3) of the certificate chain. Defaults to false.

peer - check is only performed on the peer certificate.

best_effort - if certificate revocation status can not be determined it will be accepted as valid.

The CA certificates specified for the connection will be used to construct the certificate chain validating the CRLs.

The CRLs will be fetched from a local or external cache ssl_crl_cache_api(3).

 {crl_cache, {Module :: atom(), {DbHandle :: internal | term(), Args :: list()}}}

Module defaults to ssl_crl_cache with DbHandle internal and an empty argument list. The following arguments may be specified for the internal cache.

{http, timeout()} Enables fetching of CRLs specified as http URIs in X509 cerificate extensions. Requires the OTP inets application. {partial_chain, fun(Chain::[DerCert]) -> {trusted_ca, DerCert} | unknown_ca Claim an intermediat CA in the chain as trusted. TLS will then perform the public_key:pkix_path_validation/3 with the selected CA as trusted anchor and the rest of the chain. {versions, [protocol()]} TLS protocol versions that will be supported by started clients and servers. This option overrides the application environment option protocol_version. If the environment option is not set it defaults to all versions, except SSL-3.0, supported by the SSL application. See also ssl(6) {hibernate_after, integer()|undefined} When an integer-value is specified, the ssl_connection will go into hibernation after the specified number of milliseconds of inactivity, thus reducing its memory footprint. When undefined is specified (this is the default), the process will never go into hibernation. {user_lookup_fun, {Lookupfun :: fun(), UserState :: term()}}

The lookup fun should be defined as:

fun(psk, PSKIdentity ::string(), UserState :: term()) -> {ok, SharedSecret :: binary()} | error; fun(srp, Username :: string(), UserState :: term()) -> {ok, {SRPParams :: srp_param_type(), Salt :: binary(), DerivedKey :: binary()}} | error.

For Pre-Shared Key (PSK) cipher suites, the lookup fun will be called by the client and server to determine the shared secret. When called by the client, PSKIdentity will be set to the hint presented by the server or undefined. When called by the server, PSKIdentity is the identity presented by the client.

For Secure Remote Password (SRP), the fun will only be used by the server to obtain parameters that it will use to generate its session keys. DerivedKey should be derived according to RFC 2945 and RFC 5054: crypto:sha([Salt, crypto:sha([Username, <<$:>>, Password])])

{padding_check, boolean()}

This option only affects TLS-1.0 connections. If set to false it disables the block cipher padding check to be able to interoperate with legacy software.

Using this option makes TLS vulnerable to the Poodle attack
SSL OPTION DESCRIPTIONS - CLIENT SIDE

Options described here are client specific or has a slightly different meaning in the client than in the server.

{verify, verify_type()} In verify_none mode the default behavior will be to allow all x509-path validation errors. See also the verify_fun option. {reuse_sessions, boolean()} Specifies if client should try to reuse sessions when possible. {cacertfile, path()} The path to a file containing PEM encoded CA certificates. The CA certificates are used during server authentication and when building the client certificate chain. {alpn_advertised_protocols, [binary()]}

The list of protocols supported by the client to be sent to the server to be used for an Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN). If the server supports ALPN then it will choose a protocol from this list; otherwise it will fail the connection with a "no_application_protocol" alert. A server that does not support ALPN will ignore this value.

The list of protocols must not contain an empty binary.

The negotiated protocol can be retrieved using the negotiated_protocol/1 function.

 {client_preferred_next_protocols, {Precedence :: server | client, ClientPrefs :: [binary()]}} {client_preferred_next_protocols, {Precedence :: server | client, ClientPrefs :: [binary()], Default :: binary()}}

Indicates the client will try to perform Next Protocol Negotiation.

If precedence is server the negotiated protocol will be the first protocol that appears on the server advertised list that is also on the client preference list.

If precedence is client the negotiated protocol will be the first protocol that appears on the client preference list that is also on the server advertised list.

If the client does not support any of the server advertised protocols or the server does not advertise any protocols the client will fallback to the first protocol in its list or if a default is supplied it will fallback to that instead. If the server does not support Next Protocol Negotiation the connection will be aborted if no default protocol is supplied.

 {psk_identity, string()} Specifies the identity the client presents to the server. The matching secret is found by calling the user_look_fun. {srp_identity, {Username :: string(), Password :: string()} Specifies the Username and Password to use to authenticate to the server. {server_name_indication, hostname()} {server_name_indication, disable}

This option can be specified when upgrading a TCP socket to a TLS socket to use the TLS Server Name Indication extension.

When starting a TLS connection without upgrade the Server Name Indication extension will be sent if possible, this option may also be used to disable that behavior.

 {fallback, boolean()}

Send special cipher suite TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV to avoid undesired TLS version downgrade. Defaults to false

Note this option is not needed in normal TLS usage and should not be used to implement new clients. But legacy clients that that retries connections in the following manner

ssl:connect(Host, Port, [...{versions, ['tlsv2', 'tlsv1.1', 'tlsv1', 'sslv3']}])

ssl:connect(Host, Port, [...{versions, [tlsv1.1', 'tlsv1', 'sslv3']}, {fallback, true}])

ssl:connect(Host, Port, [...{versions, ['tlsv1', 'sslv3']}, {fallback, true}])

ssl:connect(Host, Port, [...{versions, ['sslv3']}, {fallback, true}])

may use it to avoid undesired TLS version downgrade. Note that TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV must also be supported by the server for the prevention to work.

SSL OPTION DESCRIPTIONS - SERVER SIDE

Options described here are server specific or has a slightly different meaning in the server than in the client.

{cacertfile, path()} The path to a file containing PEM encoded CA certificates. The CA certificates are used to build the server certificate chain, and for client authentication. Also the CAs are used in the list of acceptable client CAs passed to the client when a certificate is requested. May be omitted if there is no need to verify the client and if there are not any intermediate CAs for the server certificate. {dh, der_encoded()} The DER encoded Diffie Hellman parameters. If this option is supplied it will override the dhfile option. {dhfile, path()} Path to file containing PEM encoded Diffie Hellman parameters, for the server to use if a cipher suite using Diffie Hellman key exchange is negotiated. If not specified default parameters will be used. {verify, verify_type()} Servers only do the x509-path validation in verify_peer mode, as it then will send a certificate request to the client (this message is not sent if the verify option is verify_none) and you may then also want to specify the option fail_if_no_peer_cert. {fail_if_no_peer_cert, boolean()} Used together with {verify, verify_peer} by an ssl server. If set to true, the server will fail if the client does not have a certificate to send, i.e. sends a empty certificate, if set to false it will only fail if the client sends an invalid certificate (an empty certificate is considered valid). {reuse_sessions, boolean()} Specifies if the server should agree to reuse sessions when the clients request to do so. See also the reuse_session option. {reuse_session, fun(SuggestedSessionId, PeerCert, Compression, CipherSuite) -> boolean()} Enables the ssl server to have a local policy for deciding if a session should be reused or not, only meaningful if reuse_sessions is set to true. SuggestedSessionId is a binary(), PeerCert is a DER encoded certificate, Compression is an enumeration integer and CipherSuite is of type ciphersuite(). {alpn_preferred_protocols, [binary()]}

Indicates the server will try to perform Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN).

The list of protocols is in order of preference. The protocol negotiated will be the first in the list that matches one of the protocols advertised by the client. If no protocol matches, the server will fail the connection with a "no_application_protocol" alert.

The negotiated protocol can be retrieved using the negotiated_protocol/1 function.

 {next_protocols_advertised, Protocols :: [binary()]} The list of protocols to send to the client if the client indicates it supports the Next Protocol extension. The client may select a protocol that is not on this list. The list of protocols must not contain an empty binary. If the server negotiates a Next Protocol it can be accessed using negotiated_protocol/1 function. {psk_identity, string()} Specifies the server identity hint the server presents to the client. {log_alert, boolean()} If false, error reports will not be displayed. {honor_cipher_order, boolean()} If true, use the server's preference for cipher selection. If false (the default), use the client's preference.
General

When an ssl socket is in active mode (the default), data from the socket is delivered to the owner of the socket in the form of messages:

{ssl, Socket, Data} {ssl_closed, Socket} {ssl_error, Socket, Reason}

A Timeout argument specifies a timeout in milliseconds. The default value for a Timeout argument is infinity.

cipher_suites() -> cipher_suites(Type) -> ciphers() Returns a list of supported cipher suites Type = erlang | openssl | all

Returns a list of supported cipher suites. cipher_suites() is equivalent to cipher_suites(erlang). Type openssl is provided for backwards compatibility with old ssl that used openssl. cipher_suites(all) returns all available cipher suites. The cipher suites not present in cipher_suites(erlang) but in included in cipher_suites(all) will not be used unless explicitly configured by the user.

clear_pem_cache() -> ok Clears the pem cache

PEM files, used by ssl API-functions, are cached. The cache is regularly checked to see if any cache entries should be invalidated, however this function provides a way to unconditionally clear the whole cache.

connect(Socket, SslOptions) -> connect(Socket, SslOptions, Timeout) -> {ok, SslSocket} | {error, Reason} Upgrades a gen_tcp, or equivalent, connected socket to an ssl socket. Socket = socket() SslOptions = [ssloption()] Timeout = integer() | infinity SslSocket = sslsocket() Reason = term()

Upgrades a gen_tcp, or equivalent, connected socket to an ssl socket i.e. performs the client-side ssl handshake.

 controlling_process(SslSocket, NewOwner) -> ok | {error, Reason} Assigns a new controlling process to the ssl-socket. SslSocket = sslsocket() NewOwner = pid() Reason = term()

Assigns a new controlling process to the ssl-socket. A controlling process is the owner of an ssl-socket, and receives all messages from the socket.

 connection_info(SslSocket) -> {ok, {ProtocolVersion, CipherSuite}} | {error, Reason} Returns the negotiated protocol version and cipher suite. CipherSuite = ciphersuite() ProtocolVersion = protocol()

Returns the negotiated protocol version and cipher suite.

 format_error(Reason) -> string() Return an error string. Reason = term()

Presents the error returned by an ssl function as a printable string.

 getopts(Socket, OptionNames) -> {ok, [socketoption()]} | {error, Reason} Get the value of the specified options. Socket = sslsocket() OptionNames = [atom()]

Get the value of the specified socket options.

listen(Port, Options) -> {ok, ListenSocket} | {error, Reason} Creates an ssl listen socket. Port = integer() Options = options() ListenSocket = sslsocket()

Creates an ssl listen socket.

 peercert(Socket) -> {ok, Cert} | {error, Reason} Return the peer certificate. Socket = sslsocket() Cert = binary()

The peer certificate is returned as a DER encoded binary. The certificate can be decoded with public_key:pkix_decode_cert/2.

peername(Socket) -> {ok, {Address, Port}} | {error, Reason} Return peer address and port. Socket = sslsocket() Address = ipaddress() Port = integer()

Returns the address and port number of the peer.

 recv(Socket, Length) -> recv(Socket, Length, Timeout) -> {ok, Data} | {error, Reason} Receive data on a socket. Socket = sslsocket() Length = integer() Timeout = integer() Data = [char()] | binary()

This function receives a packet from a socket in passive mode. A closed socket is indicated by a return value {error, closed}.

The Length argument is only meaningful when the socket is in raw mode and denotes the number of bytes to read. If Length = 0, all available bytes are returned. If Length > 0, exactly Length bytes are returned, or an error; possibly discarding less than Length bytes of data when the socket gets closed from the other side.

The optional Timeout parameter specifies a timeout in milliseconds. The default value is infinity.

 prf(Socket, Secret, Label, Seed, WantedLength) -> {ok, binary()} | {error, reason()} Use a sessions pseudo random function to generate key material. Socket = sslsocket() Secret = binary() | master_secret Label = binary() Seed = [binary() | prf_random()] WantedLength = non_neg_integer()

Use the pseudo random function (PRF) of a TLS session to generate additional key material. It either takes user generated values for Secret and Seed or atoms directing it use a specific value from the session security parameters.

This function can only be used with TLS connections, {error, undefined} is returned for SSLv3 connections.

 renegotiate(Socket) -> ok | {error, Reason} Initiates a new handshake. Socket = sslsocket()

Initiates a new handshake. A notable return value is {error, renegotiation_rejected} indicating that the peer refused to go through with the renegotiation but the connection is still active using the previously negotiated session.

 send(Socket, Data) -> ok | {error, Reason} Write data to a socket. Socket = sslsocket() Data = iodata()

Writes Data to Socket.

A notable return value is {error, closed} indicating that the socket is closed.

Sets options according to Options for the socket Socket.

shutdown(Socket, How) -> ok | {error, Reason} Immediately close a socket Socket = sslsocket() How = read | write | read_write Reason = reason()

Immediately close a socket in one or two directions.

How == write means closing the socket for writing, reading from it is still possible.

To be able to handle that the peer has done a shutdown on the write side, the {exit_on_close, false} option is useful.

 ssl_accept(Socket) -> ssl_accept(Socket, Timeout) -> ok | {error, Reason} Perform server-side SSL/TLS handshake Socket = sslsocket() Timeout = integer() Reason = term()

Performs the SSL/TLS server-side handshake Socket is a socket as returned by ssl:transport_accept/[1,2]

If Socket is a socket() - upgrades a gen_tcp, or equivalent, socket to an ssl socket i.e. performs the SSL/TLS server-side handshake and returns the ssl socket.

Note that the listen socket should be in {active, false} mode before telling the client that the server is ready to upgrade by calling this function, otherwise the upgrade may or may not succeed depending on timing.

If Socket is an sslsocket() - provides additional SSL/TLS options to those specified in ssl:listen/2 and then performs the SSL/TLS handshake.

sockname(Socket) -> {ok, {Address, Port}} | {error, Reason} Return the local address and port. Socket = sslsocket() Address = ipaddress() Port = integer()

Accepts an incoming connection request on a listen socket. ListenSocket must be a socket returned from ssl:listen/2. The socket returned should be passed to ssl:ssl_accept[2,3] to complete handshaking i.e establishing the SSL/TLS connection.

The socket returned can only be used with ssl:ssl_accept[2,3] no traffic can be sent or received before that call.

The accepted socket inherits the options set for ListenSocket in ssl:listen/2.

The default value for Timeout is infinity. If Timeout is specified, and no connection is accepted within the given time, {error, timeout} is returned.

 versions() -> [versions_info()] Returns version information relevant for the ssl application. versions_info() = {app_vsn, string()} | {supported | available, [protocol()]

Returns version information relevant for the ssl application.

app_vsn The application version of the OTP ssl application. supported TLS/SSL versions supported by default. Overridden by a versions option on connect/[2,3,4], listen/2 and ssl_accept/[1,2,3]. For the negotiated TLS/SSL version see ssl:connection_info/1 available All TLS/SSL versions that the Erlang ssl application can support. Note that TLS 1.2 requires sufficient support from the crypto application. negotiated_protocol(Socket) -> {ok, Protocol} | {error, protocol_not_negotiated} Returns the protocol negotiated through ALPN or NPN extensions. Socket = sslsocket() Protocol = binary()

Returns the protocol negotiated through ALPN or NPN extensions.
