Release Notes for ktls-utils 0.12-pre

Note well: This is experimental prototype software. It's purpose is purely as a demonstration and proof-of-concept. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

In-kernel TLS consumers need a mechanism to perform TLS handshakes on a connected socket to negotiate TLS session parameters that can then be programmed into the kernel's TLS record protocol engine.

This package of software provides a TLS handshake user agent that listens for kernel requests and then materializes a user space socket endpoint on which to perform these handshakes. The resulting negotiated session parameters are passed back to the kernel via standard kTLS socket options.

See COPYING for the full text of the license under which this package is released.

Dependencies

  • The local kernel must have net/handshake support and be built with CONFIG_TLS enabled
  • The local build environment requires GnuTLS and keyutils
