  23. * @mainpage mbed TLS v2.4.2 source code documentation
  24. *
  25. * This documentation describes the internal structure of mbed TLS. It was
  26. * automatically generated from specially formatted comment blocks in
  27. * mbed TLS's source code using Doxygen. (See
  28. * http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/ for more information on Doxygen)
  29. *
  30. * mbed TLS has a simple setup: it provides the ingredients for an SSL/TLS
  31. * implementation. These ingredients are listed as modules in the
  32. * \ref mainpage_modules "Modules section". This "Modules section" introduces
  33. * the high-level module concepts used throughout this documentation.\n
  34. * Some examples of mbed TLS usage can be found in the \ref mainpage_examples
  35. * "Examples section".
  36. *
  37. * @section mainpage_modules Modules
  38. *
  39. * mbed TLS supports SSLv3 up to TLSv1.2 communication by providing the
  40. * following:
  41. * - TCP/IP communication functions: listen, connect, accept, read/write.
  42. * - SSL/TLS communication functions: init, handshake, read/write.
  43. * - X.509 functions: CRT, CRL and key handling
  44. * - Random number generation
  45. * - Hashing
  46. * - Encryption/decryption
  47. *
  48. * Above functions are split up neatly into logical interfaces. These can be
  49. * used separately to provide any of the above functions or to mix-and-match
  50. * into an SSL server/client solution that utilises a X.509 PKI. Examples of
  51. * such implementations are amply provided with the source code.
  52. *
  53. * Note that mbed TLS does not provide a control channel or (multiple) session
  54. * handling without additional work from the developer.
  55. *
  56. * @section mainpage_examples Examples
  57. *
  58. * Example server setup:
  59. *
  60. * \b Prerequisites:
  61. * - X.509 certificate and private key
  62. * - session handling functions
  63. *
  64. * \b Setup:
  65. * - Load your certificate and your private RSA key (X.509 interface)
  66. * - Setup the listening TCP socket (TCP/IP interface)
  67. * - Accept incoming client connection (TCP/IP interface)
  68. * - Initialise as an SSL-server (SSL/TLS interface)
  69. * - Set parameters, e.g. authentication, ciphers, CA-chain, key exchange
  70. * - Set callback functions RNG, IO, session handling
  71. * - Perform an SSL-handshake (SSL/TLS interface)
  72. * - Read/write data (SSL/TLS interface)
  73. * - Close and cleanup (all interfaces)
  74. *
  75. * Example client setup:
  76. *
  77. * \b Prerequisites:
  78. * - X.509 certificate and private key
  79. * - X.509 trusted CA certificates
  80. *
  81. * \b Setup:
  82. * - Load the trusted CA certificates (X.509 interface)
  83. * - Load your certificate and your private RSA key (X.509 interface)
  84. * - Setup a TCP/IP connection (TCP/IP interface)
  85. * - Initialise as an SSL-client (SSL/TLS interface)
  86. * - Set parameters, e.g. authentication mode, ciphers, CA-chain, session
  87. * - Set callback functions RNG, IO
  88. * - Perform an SSL-handshake (SSL/TLS interface)
  89. * - Verify the server certificate (SSL/TLS interface)
  90. * - Write/read data (SSL/TLS interface)
  91. * - Close and cleanup (all interfaces)
