Module for DtlsConnection interface mixin

Templates 2

tmplDtlsConnectionT()

gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection is the base DTLS connection class type, which wraps a gio.datagram_based.DatagramBased and provides DTLS encryption on top of it. Its subclasses, gio.dtls_client_connection.DtlsClientConnection and gio.dtls_server_connection.DtlsServerConnection, implement client-side and server-side DTLS, respectively.

For TLS support, see gio.tls_connection.TlsConnection.

As DTLS is datagram based, gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection implements gio.datagram_based.DatagramBased, presenting a datagram-socket-like API for the encrypted connection. This operates over a base datagram connection, which is also a gio.datagram_based.DatagramBased (gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.baseSocket).

To close a DTLS connection, use gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.close.

Neither gio.dtls_server_connection.DtlsServerConnection or gio.dtls_client_connection.DtlsClientConnection set the peer address on their base gio.datagram_based.DatagramBased if it is a gio.socket.Socket — it is up to the caller to do that if they wish. If they do not, and gio.socket.Socket.close is called on the base socket, the gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection will not raise a gio.types.IOErrorEnum.NotConnected error on further I/O.

Functions

Get baseSocket property.

Returns

The #GDatagramBased that the connection wraps. Note that this may be any

implementation of #GDatagramBased, not just a #GSocket.

Get certificate property.

Returns

The connection's certificate; see

gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.setCertificate.

void certificate(gio.tls_certificate.TlsCertificate propval)

Set certificate property.

Parameters

propvalThe connection's certificate; see gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.setCertificate.
string ciphersuiteName()

Get ciphersuiteName property.

Returns

The name of the DTLS ciphersuite in use. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.getCiphersuiteName.

Get database property.

Returns

The certificate database to use when verifying this TLS connection.

If no certificate database is set, then the default database will be used. See gio.tls_backend.TlsBackend.getDefaultDatabase.

When using a non-default database, #GDtlsConnection must fall back to using the #GTlsDatabase to perform certificate verification using gio.tls_database.TlsDatabase.verifyChain, which means certificate verification will not be able to make use of TLS session context. This may be less secure. For example, if you create your own #GTlsDatabase that just wraps the default #GTlsDatabase, you might expect that you have not changed anything, but this is not true because you may have altered the behavior of #GDtlsConnection by causing it to use gio.tls_database.TlsDatabase.verifyChain. See the documentation of gio.tls_database.TlsDatabase.verifyChain for more details on specific security checks that may not be performed. Accordingly, setting a non-default database is discouraged except for specialty applications with unusual security requirements.

void database(gio.tls_database.TlsDatabase propval)

Set database property.

Parameters

propvalThe certificate database to use when verifying this TLS connection. If no certificate database is set, then the default database will be used. See gio.tls_backend.TlsBackend.getDefaultDatabase. When using a non-default database, #GDtlsConnection must fall back to using the #GTlsDatabase to perform certificate verification using gio.tls_database.TlsDatabase.verifyChain, which means certificate verification will not be able to make use of TLS session context. This may be less secure. For example, if you create your own #GTlsDatabase that just wraps the default #GTlsDatabase, you might expect that you have not changed anything, but this is not true because you may have altered the behavior of #GDtlsConnection by causing it to use gio.tls_database.TlsDatabase.verifyChain. See the documentation of gio.tls_database.TlsDatabase.verifyChain for more details on specific security checks that may not be performed. Accordingly, setting a non-default database is discouraged except for specialty applications with unusual security requirements.

Get interaction property.

Returns

A #GTlsInteraction object to be used when the connection or certificate

database need to interact with the user. This will be used to prompt the user for passwords where necessary.

void interaction(gio.tls_interaction.TlsInteraction propval)

Set interaction property.

Parameters

propvalA #GTlsInteraction object to be used when the connection or certificate database need to interact with the user. This will be used to prompt the user for passwords where necessary.
string negotiatedProtocol()

Get negotiatedProtocol property.

Returns

The application-layer protocol negotiated during the TLS

handshake. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.getNegotiatedProtocol.

Get peerCertificate property.

Returns

The connection's peer's certificate, after the TLS handshake has

completed or failed. Note in particular that this is not yet set during the emission of #GDtlsConnection::accept-certificate.

(You can watch for a #GObject::notify signal on this property to detect when a handshake has occurred.)

gio.types.TlsCertificateFlags peerCertificateErrors()

Get peerCertificateErrors property.

Returns

The errors noticed while verifying

#GDtlsConnection:peer-certificate. Normally this should be 0, but it may not be if #GDtlsClientConnection:validation-flags is not gio.types.TlsCertificateFlags.ValidateAll, or if #GDtlsConnection::accept-certificate overrode the default behavior.

GLib guarantees that if certificate verification fails, at least one error will be set, but it does not guarantee that all possible errors will be set. Accordingly, you may not safely decide to ignore any particular type of error. For example, it would be incorrect to mask gio.types.TlsCertificateFlags.Expired if you want to allow expired certificates, because this could potentially be the only error flag set even if other problems exist with the certificate.

Get protocolVersion property.

Returns

The DTLS protocol version in use. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.getProtocolVersion.

Get rehandshakeMode property.

Returns

Deprecated

The rehandshake mode is ignored.
void rehandshakeMode(gio.types.TlsRehandshakeMode propval)

Set rehandshakeMode property.

Parameters

propvalThe rehandshaking mode. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.setRehandshakeMode.

Deprecated

The rehandshake mode is ignored.
bool requireCloseNotify()

Get requireCloseNotify property.

Returns

Whether or not proper TLS close notification is required.

See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.setRequireCloseNotify.

void requireCloseNotify(bool propval)

Set requireCloseNotify property.

Parameters

propvalWhether or not proper TLS close notification is required. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.setRequireCloseNotify.
bool close(gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null)

Close the DTLS connection. This is equivalent to calling gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.shutdown to shut down both sides of the connection.

Closing a #GDtlsConnection waits for all buffered but untransmitted data to be sent before it completes. It then sends a close_notify DTLS alert to the peer and may wait for a close_notify to be received from the peer. It does not close the underlying #GDtlsConnection:base-socket; that must be closed separately.

Once conn is closed, all other operations will return gio.types.IOErrorEnum.Closed. Closing a #GDtlsConnection multiple times will not return an error.

#GDtlsConnections will be automatically closed when the last reference is dropped, but you might want to call this function to make sure resources are released as early as possible.

If cancellable is cancelled, the #GDtlsConnection may be left partially-closed and any pending untransmitted data may be lost. Call gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.close again to complete closing the #GDtlsConnection.

Parameters

cancellablea #GCancellable, or null

Returns

true on success, false otherwise

Throws

void closeAsync(int ioPriority, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback = null)

Asynchronously close the DTLS connection. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.close for more information.

Parameters

ioPrioritythe I/O priority of the request
cancellablea #GCancellable, or null
callbackcallback to call when the close operation is complete
bool closeFinish(gio.async_result.AsyncResult result)

Finish an asynchronous TLS close operation. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.close for more information.

Parameters

resulta #GAsyncResult

Returns

true on success, false on failure, in which

case error will be set

Throws

bool emitAcceptCertificate(gio.tls_certificate.TlsCertificate peerCert, gio.types.TlsCertificateFlags errors)

Used by #GDtlsConnection implementations to emit the #GDtlsConnection::accept-certificate signal.

Parameters

peerCertthe peer's #GTlsCertificate
errorsthe problems with peer_cert

Returns

true if one of the signal handlers has returned

true to accept peer_cert

Gets conn's certificate, as set by gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.setCertificate.

Returns

conn's certificate, or null
bool getChannelBindingData(gio.types.TlsChannelBindingType type, ref ubyte[] data)

Query the TLS backend for TLS channel binding data of type for conn.

This call retrieves TLS channel binding data as specified in RFC 5056, RFC 5929, and related RFCs. The binding data is returned in data. The data is resized by the callee using #GByteArray buffer management and will be freed when the data is destroyed by glib.byte_array.ByteArray.unref. If data is null, it will only check whether TLS backend is able to fetch the data (e.g. whether type is supported by the TLS backend). It does not guarantee that the data will be available though. That could happen if TLS connection does not support type or the binding data is not available yet due to additional negotiation or input required.

Parameters

type#GTlsChannelBindingType type of data to fetch
data#GByteArray is filled with the binding data, or null

Returns

true on success, false otherwise

Throws

string getCiphersuiteName()

Returns the name of the current DTLS ciphersuite, or null if the connection has not handshaked or has been closed. Beware that the TLS backend may use any of multiple different naming conventions, because OpenSSL and GnuTLS have their own ciphersuite naming conventions that are different from each other and different from the standard, IANA- registered ciphersuite names. The ciphersuite name is intended to be displayed to the user for informative purposes only, and parsing it is not recommended.

Returns

The name of the current DTLS ciphersuite, or null

Gets the certificate database that conn uses to verify peer certificates. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.setDatabase.

Returns

the certificate database that conn uses or null

Get the object that will be used to interact with the user. It will be used for things like prompting the user for passwords. If null is returned, then no user interaction will occur for this connection.

Returns

The interaction object.
string getNegotiatedProtocol()

Gets the name of the application-layer protocol negotiated during the handshake.

If the peer did not use the ALPN extension, or did not advertise a protocol that matched one of conn's protocols, or the TLS backend does not support ALPN, then this will be null. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.setAdvertisedProtocols.

Returns

the negotiated protocol, or null

Gets conn's peer's certificate after the handshake has completed or failed. (It is not set during the emission of #GDtlsConnection::accept-certificate.)

Returns

conn's peer's certificate, or null
gio.types.TlsCertificateFlags getPeerCertificateErrors()

Gets the errors associated with validating conn's peer's certificate, after the handshake has completed or failed. (It is not set during the emission of #GDtlsConnection::accept-certificate.)

Returns

conn's peer's certificate errors
gio.types.TlsProtocolVersion getProtocolVersion()

Returns the current DTLS protocol version, which may be gio.types.TlsProtocolVersion.Unknown if the connection has not handshaked, or has been closed, or if the TLS backend has implemented a protocol version that is not a recognized #GTlsProtocolVersion.

Returns

The current DTLS protocol version
gio.types.TlsRehandshakeMode getRehandshakeMode()

Gets conn rehandshaking mode. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.setRehandshakeMode for details.

Returns

Deprecated

Changing the rehandshake mode is no longer

required for compatibility. Also, rehandshaking has been removed from the TLS protocol in TLS 1.3.

bool getRequireCloseNotify()

Tests whether or not conn expects a proper TLS close notification when the connection is closed. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.setRequireCloseNotify for details.

Returns

true if conn requires a proper TLS close notification.
bool handshake(gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null)

Attempts a TLS handshake on conn.

On the client side, it is never necessary to call this method; although the connection needs to perform a handshake after connecting, #GDtlsConnection will handle this for you automatically when you try to send or receive data on the connection. You can call gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.handshake manually if you want to know whether the initial handshake succeeded or failed (as opposed to just immediately trying to use conn to read or write, in which case, if it fails, it may not be possible to tell if it failed before or after completing the handshake), but beware that servers may reject client authentication after the handshake has completed, so a successful handshake does not indicate the connection will be usable.

Likewise, on the server side, although a handshake is necessary at the beginning of the communication, you do not need to call this function explicitly unless you want clearer error reporting.

Previously, calling gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.handshake after the initial handshake would trigger a rehandshake; however, this usage was deprecated in GLib 2.60 because rehandshaking was removed from the TLS protocol in TLS 1.3. Since GLib 2.64, calling this function after the initial handshake will no longer do anything.

#GDtlsConnection::accept_certificate may be emitted during the handshake.

Parameters

cancellablea #GCancellable, or null

Returns

success or failure

Throws

void handshakeAsync(int ioPriority, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback = null)

Asynchronously performs a TLS handshake on conn. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.handshake for more information.

Parameters

ioPrioritythe I/O priority of the request
cancellablea #GCancellable, or null
callbackcallback to call when the handshake is complete
bool handshakeFinish(gio.async_result.AsyncResult result)

Finish an asynchronous TLS handshake operation. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.handshake for more information.

Parameters

resulta #GAsyncResult.

Returns

true on success, false on failure, in which

case error will be set.

Throws

void setAdvertisedProtocols(string[] protocols = null)

Sets the list of application-layer protocols to advertise that the caller is willing to speak on this connection. The Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) extension will be used to negotiate a compatible protocol with the peer; use gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.getNegotiatedProtocol to find the negotiated protocol after the handshake. Specifying null for the the value of protocols will disable ALPN negotiation.

See IANA TLS ALPN Protocol IDs for a list of registered protocol IDs.

Parameters

protocolsa null-terminated array of ALPN protocol names (eg, "http/1.1", "h2"), or null
void setCertificate(gio.tls_certificate.TlsCertificate certificate)

This sets the certificate that conn will present to its peer during the TLS handshake. For a #GDtlsServerConnection, it is mandatory to set this, and that will normally be done at construct time.

For a #GDtlsClientConnection, this is optional. If a handshake fails with gio.types.TlsError.CertificateRequired, that means that the server requires a certificate, and if you try connecting again, you should call this method first. You can call gio.dtls_client_connection.DtlsClientConnection.getAcceptedCas on the failed connection to get a list of Certificate Authorities that the server will accept certificates from.

(It is also possible that a server will allow the connection with or without a certificate; in that case, if you don't provide a certificate, you can tell that the server requested one by the fact that gio.dtls_client_connection.DtlsClientConnection.getAcceptedCas will return non-null.)

Parameters

certificatethe certificate to use for conn
void setDatabase(gio.tls_database.TlsDatabase database = null)

Sets the certificate database that is used to verify peer certificates. This is set to the default database by default. See gio.tls_backend.TlsBackend.getDefaultDatabase. If set to null, then peer certificate validation will always set the gio.types.TlsCertificateFlags.UnknownCa error (meaning #GDtlsConnection::accept-certificate will always be emitted on client-side connections, unless that bit is not set in #GDtlsClientConnection:validation-flags).

There are nonintuitive security implications when using a non-default database. See #GDtlsConnection:database for details.

Parameters

databasea #GTlsDatabase
void setInteraction(gio.tls_interaction.TlsInteraction interaction = null)

Set the object that will be used to interact with the user. It will be used for things like prompting the user for passwords.

The interaction argument will normally be a derived subclass of #GTlsInteraction. null can also be provided if no user interaction should occur for this connection.

Parameters

interactionan interaction object, or null
void setRehandshakeMode(gio.types.TlsRehandshakeMode mode)

Since GLib 2.64, changing the rehandshake mode is no longer supported and will have no effect. With TLS 1.3, rehandshaking has been removed from the TLS protocol, replaced by separate post-handshake authentication and rekey operations.

Parameters

modethe rehandshaking mode

Deprecated

Changing the rehandshake mode is no longer

required for compatibility. Also, rehandshaking has been removed from the TLS protocol in TLS 1.3.

void setRequireCloseNotify(bool requireCloseNotify)

Sets whether or not conn expects a proper TLS close notification before the connection is closed. If this is true (the default), then conn will expect to receive a TLS close notification from its peer before the connection is closed, and will return a gio.types.TlsError.Eof error if the connection is closed without proper notification (since this may indicate a network error, or man-in-the-middle attack).

In some protocols, the application will know whether or not the connection was closed cleanly based on application-level data (because the application-level data includes a length field, or is somehow self-delimiting); in this case, the close notify is redundant and may be omitted. You can use gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.setRequireCloseNotify to tell conn to allow an "unannounced" connection close, in which case the close will show up as a 0-length read, as in a non-TLS #GDatagramBased, and it is up to the application to check that the data has been fully received.

Note that this only affects the behavior when the peer closes the connection; when the application calls gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.closeAsync on conn itself, this will send a close notification regardless of the setting of this property. If you explicitly want to do an unclean close, you can close conn's #GDtlsConnection:base-socket rather than closing conn itself.

Parameters

requireCloseNotifywhether or not to require close notification
bool shutdown(bool shutdownRead, bool shutdownWrite, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null)

Shut down part or all of a DTLS connection.

If shutdown_read is true then the receiving side of the connection is shut down, and further reading is disallowed. Subsequent calls to gio.datagram_based.DatagramBased.receiveMessages will return gio.types.IOErrorEnum.Closed.

If shutdown_write is true then the sending side of the connection is shut down, and further writing is disallowed. Subsequent calls to gio.datagram_based.DatagramBased.sendMessages will return gio.types.IOErrorEnum.Closed.

It is allowed for both shutdown_read and shutdown_write to be TRUE — this is equivalent to calling gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.close.

If cancellable is cancelled, the #GDtlsConnection may be left partially-closed and any pending untransmitted data may be lost. Call gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.shutdown again to complete closing the #GDtlsConnection.

Parameters

shutdownReadtrue to stop reception of incoming datagrams
shutdownWritetrue to stop sending outgoing datagrams
cancellablea #GCancellable, or null

Returns

true on success, false otherwise

Throws

void shutdownAsync(bool shutdownRead, bool shutdownWrite, int ioPriority, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback = null)

Asynchronously shut down part or all of the DTLS connection. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.shutdown for more information.

Parameters

shutdownReadtrue to stop reception of incoming datagrams
shutdownWritetrue to stop sending outgoing datagrams
ioPrioritythe I/O priority of the request
cancellablea #GCancellable, or null
callbackcallback to call when the shutdown operation is complete
bool shutdownFinish(gio.async_result.AsyncResult result)

Finish an asynchronous TLS shutdown operation. See gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection.shutdown for more information.

Parameters

resulta #GAsyncResult

Returns

true on success, false on failure, in which

case error will be set

Throws

gulong connectAcceptCertificate(T)(T callback, Flag!"After" after = No.After) if (isCallable!T && is(ReturnType!T == bool) && (Parameters!T.length < 1 || (ParameterStorageClassTuple!T[0] == ParameterStorageClass.none && is(Parameters!T[0] : gio.tls_certificate.TlsCertificate))) && (Parameters!T.length < 2 || (ParameterStorageClassTuple!T[1] == ParameterStorageClass.none && is(Parameters!T[1] == gio.types.TlsCertificateFlags))) && (Parameters!T.length < 3 || (ParameterStorageClassTuple!T[2] == ParameterStorageClass.none && is(Parameters!T[2] : gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection))) && Parameters!T.length < 4)

Connect to AcceptCertificate signal.

Emitted during the TLS handshake after the peer certificate has been received. You can examine peer_cert's certification path by calling gio.tls_certificate.TlsCertificate.getIssuer on it.

For a client-side connection, peer_cert is the server's certificate, and the signal will only be emitted if the certificate was not acceptable according to conn's #GDtlsClientConnection:validation_flags. If you would like the certificate to be accepted despite errors, return true from the signal handler. Otherwise, if no handler accepts the certificate, the handshake will fail with gio.types.TlsError.BadCertificate.

GLib guarantees that if certificate verification fails, this signal will be emitted with at least one error will be set in errors, but it does not guarantee that all possible errors will be set. Accordingly, you may not safely decide to ignore any particular type of error. For example, it would be incorrect to ignore gio.types.TlsCertificateFlags.Expired if you want to allow expired certificates, because this could potentially be the only error flag set even if other problems exist with the certificate.

For a server-side connection, peer_cert is the certificate presented by the client, if this was requested via the server's #GDtlsServerConnection:authentication_mode. On the server side, the signal is always emitted when the client presents a certificate, and the certificate will only be accepted if a handler returns true.

Note that if this signal is emitted as part of asynchronous I/O in the main thread, then you should not attempt to interact with the user before returning from the signal handler. If you want to let the user decide whether or not to accept the certificate, you would have to return false from the signal handler on the first attempt, and then after the connection attempt returns a gio.types.TlsError.BadCertificate, you can interact with the user, and if the user decides to accept the certificate, remember that fact, create a new connection, and return true from the signal handler the next time.

If you are doing I/O in another thread, you do not need to worry about this, and can simply block in the signal handler until the UI thread returns an answer.

Parameters

callbacksignal callback delegate or function to connect bool callback(gio.tls_certificate.TlsCertificate peerCert, gio.types.TlsCertificateFlags errors, gio.dtls_connection.DtlsConnection dtlsConnection) peerCert the peer's #GTlsCertificate (optional) errors the problems with peer_cert. (optional) dtlsConnection the instance the signal is connected to (optional) Returns true to accept peer_cert (which will also immediately end the signal emission). false to allow the signal emission to continue, which will cause the handshake to fail if no one else overrides it.
afterYes.After to execute callback after default handler, No.After to execute before (default)
