This project has two homes. It is ok to work in github, still, for a better decentralized web please consider contributing (issues, PR, etc...) throught:
This library provides native Haskell TLS and SSL protocol implementation for server and client.
This provides a high-level implementation of a sensitive security protocol, eliminating a common set of security issues through the use of the advanced type system, high level constructions and common Haskell features.
- tiny codebase (more than 20 times smaller than OpenSSL, and 10 times smaller than gnuTLS)
- client certificates
- permissive license: BSD3
- supported versions: SSL3, TLS1.0, TLS1.1, TLS1.2
- key exchange supported: RSA, DHE-RSA, DHE-DSS
- bulk algorithm supported: any stream or block ciphers
- supported extensions: secure renegociation, next protocol negotiation (draft 2), server name indication
The tools mentioned below are all available from the tls-debug package.
It's useful to run the following command, which will connect to the destination and retrieve the certificate chained used.
tls-retrievecertificate -d <destination> -p <port> -v -c
As an output it will print every certificate in the chain and will give the issuer and subjects of each. It creates a chain where issuer of certificate is the subject of the next certificate part of the chain:
(subject #1, issuer #2) -> (subject #2, issuer #3) -> (subject #3, issuer #3)
A "CA is unknown" error indicates that your system doesn't have a certificate in the trusted store belonging to any of the node of the chain.
When having unknown issues with TLS, if your protocol is HTTP based it's useful to use tls-simpleclient from the tls-debug package.
tls-simpleclient -d -v <www.myserver.com> <port>
This provides useful information for debugging issues related to TLS.
