IMPORTANT NOTE: Transient is being translated to a new repo
THIS REPO IS DEPRECATED
Please, for the last version, go to:
https://github.com/transient-haskell/transient-stack
There is all the haskell packages, including distributed computing (transient-universe) and client-side web (axiom)
Secure communications for transient-universe.
initTLS must be called before using any communication. Then any connection with other nodes is atempted to be secure. It is necessary a certificate and a key for the node at the folder where it is executed. Certificate verification from calling nodes is disabled in this version, so encription of messages among nodes, and not verification is the goal initially.
upon initTLS has been called, any connect will try to establish a secure connection or will fail.
Connection from web nodes accept https requests. If a connection is secure, socket communications are encripted too.
In order to generate a self-signed certificate for testing, try the following:
openssl genrsa -out key.pem 2048
openssl req -new -key key.pem -out certificate.csr
openssl x509 -req -in certificate.csr -signkey key.pem -out certificate.pem
