Supported Algorithms and Protocols
SSL |
MD5, SHA-1, RC4, DES, TDES |
TLS |
SHA-1, RC4, DES, TDES, AES, client authentication |
Code Snippit
To establish a TDES-encrypted TLS session with a remote host:
// instantiate an HTTPS object and initialize it with the desired protocol,
// algorithm suite, list of acceptable root certificates for server auth,
// client auth certificate, and client signature callbackischttps h;
int nError = h.init(TDES, TLS, trustedRootCerts, clientAuthCert, &signTLS);
if (nError) return nError;// POST data to server page
cdk::str sResult = h.postpage(hostname, page, data, port);
// GET webpage from server
sResult = h.getpage(hostname, page, port);
Notes
- the https object falls back to TDES if the specified cipher (presumably AES) is not supported by the server
- the server's SSL certificate is returned for path validation (optionally via a authentication callback)
- the https object does not drop back to SSL v2 or v3, nor does it support resumed sessions or Server Gated Cryptography (SGC)
