@ -8,56 +8,79 @@ This module provides access to Transport Layer Security (often known as
|
||||
“Secure Sockets Layer”) encryption and peer authentication facilities for
|
||||
network sockets, both client-side and server-side.

||||
Functions
|
||||
---------
|
||||
.. only:: not port_wipy
|
||||
|
||||
.. function:: ssl.wrap_socket(sock, keyfile=None, certfile=None, server_side=False, cert_reqs=CERT_NONE, ca_certs=None)
|
||||
Functions
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
Takes an instance sock of socket.socket, and returns an instance of ssl.SSLSocket, a subtype of
|
||||
``socket.socket``, which wraps the underlying socket in an SSL context. sock must be a ``SOCK_STREAM``
|
||||
socket and protocol number ``socket.IPPROTO_SEC``; other socket types are unsupported. Example::
|
||||
.. function:: ssl.wrap_socket(sock, server_side=False)
|
||||
|
||||
import socket
|
||||
import ssl
|
||||
s = socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM, socket.IPPROTO_SEC)
|
||||
ss = ssl.wrap_socket(s)
|
||||
ss.connect(socket.getaddrinfo('www.google.com', 443)[0][-1])
|
||||
Takes a stream `sock` (usually usocket.socket instance of ``SOCK_STREAM`` type),
|
||||
and returns an instance of ssl.SSLSocket, which wraps the underlying stream in
|
||||
an SSL context. Returned object has the usual stream interface methods like
|
||||
`read()`, `write()`, etc. In MicroPython, the returned object does not expose
|
||||
socket interface and methods like `recv()`, `send()`. In particular, a
|
||||
server-side SSL socket should be created from a normal socket returned from
|
||||
`accept()` on a non-SSL listening server socket.
|
||||
|
||||
Certificates must be used in order to validate the other side of the connection, and also to
|
||||
authenticate ourselves with the other end. Such certificates must be stored as files using the
|
||||
FTP server, and they must be placed in specific paths with specific names.
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
|
||||
- The certificate to validate the other side goes in: **'/flash/cert/ca.pem'**
|
||||
- The certificate to authenticate ourselves goes in: **'/flash/cert/cert.pem'**
|
||||
- The key for our own certificate goes in: **'/flash/cert/private.key'**
|
||||
Currently, this function does NOT validate server certificates, which makes
|
||||
an SSL connection established prone to man-in-the-middle attacks.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
When these files are stored, they are placed inside the internal **hidden** file system
|
||||
(just like firmware updates), and therefore they are never visible.
|
||||
.. only:: port_wipy
|
||||
|
||||
For instance to connect to the Blynk servers using certificates, take the file ``ca.pem`` located
|
||||
in the `blynk examples folder <https://github.com/wipy/wipy/tree/master/examples/blynk>`_
|
||||
and put it in '/flash/cert/'. Then do::
