Detailed Description

Session_Manager is an interface to systems which can save session parameters for supporting session resumption.

Saving sessions is done on a best-effort basis; an implementation is allowed to drop sessions due to space constraints or other issues.

Implementations should strive to be thread safe. This base class provides a recursive mutex (via Session_Manager::mutex()). Derived classes may simply reuse this for their own locking.

◆ choose_from_offered_tickets()

std::optional< std::pair< Session, uint16_t > > Botan::TLS::Session_Manager::choose_from_offered_tickets ( const std::vector< PskIdentity > & tickets,
std::string_view hash_function,
Callbacks & callbacks,
const Policy & policy )
virtual

Lets the server application choose a PSK to use for a new TLS connection. Implementers must make sure that the PSK's associated hash function is equal to the passed hash_function.

RFC 8446 4.2.11 The server MUST ensure that it selects a compatible PSK (if any) and cipher suite.

The default implementation simply tries to retrieve all tickets in the order offered by the peer and picks the first that is found and features a matching hash algorithm.

This method is called only by TLS 1.3 servers.

Parameters
ticketsa list of tickets that were offered by the client
hash_functionthe hash algorithm name we are going to use for the to-be-negotiated connection
callbackscallbacks to be used for session policy decisions
policypolicy to be used for session policy decisions
Returns
a std::pair of the Session associated to the choosen PSK and the index of the selected ticket; std::nullopt if no PSK was chosen for usage (will result in a full handshake)
Note
if no PSK is chosen, the server will attempt a regular handshake.

◆ emits_session_tickets()

virtual bool Botan::TLS::Session_Manager::emits_session_tickets ( )
inlinevirtual

Declares whether the given Session_Manager implementation may emit session tickets. Note that this does not mean that the implementation must always emit tickets.

Concrete implementations should declare this, to allow the TLS implementations to act accordingly. E.g. to advertise support for session tickets in their Server Hello.

Returns
true if the Session_Manager produces session tickets

◆ establish()

std::optional< Session_Handle > Botan::TLS::Session_Manager::establish ( const Session & session,
const std::optional< Session_ID > & id = std::nullopt,
bool tls12_no_ticket = false )
virtual

Save a new Session and assign a Session_Handle (TLS Server)

Save a new session on a best effort basis; the manager may not in fact be able to save the session for whatever reason; this is not an error. Callers cannot assume that calling establish() followed immediately by retrieve() or choose_from_offered_tickets() will result in a successful lookup. In case no session was stored, std::nullopt is returned.

This method is only called on TLS servers.

Note that implementations will silently refrain from sending session tickets to the client when this method returns std::nullopt.

Parameters
sessionto save
idto use (instead of an ID chosen by the manager)
tls12_no_ticketdisable tickets for this establishment (set when TLS 1.2 client does not support them)
Returns
a Session_Handle containing either an ID or a ticket if the session was saved, otherwise std::nullopt

◆ find()

std::vector< Session_with_Handle > Botan::TLS::Session_Manager::find ( const Server_Information & info,
Callbacks & callbacks,
const Policy & policy )
virtual

Find all sessions that match a given server info.

TLS clients use this to obtain session resumption information for a server they are wishing to handshake with. Typically, session info will have been received in prior connections to that same server and stored using Session_Manager::store().

The default implementation will invoke Session_Manager::find_some() and filter the result against a policy. Most notably an expiry check. Expired sessions will be removed via Session_Manager::remove().

The TLS client implementations will query the session manager exactly once per handshake attempt. If no reuse is desired, the session manager may remove the sessions internally when handing them out to the client. The default implementation adheres to Policy::reuse_session_tickets().

For TLS 1.2 the client implementation will attempt a resumption with the first session in the returned list. For TLS 1.3, it will offer all found sessions to the server.

Applications that wish to implement their own Session_Manager may override the default implementation to add further policy checks. Though, typically implementing Session_Manager::find_some() and relying on the default implementation is enough.

Parameters
infothe info about the server we want to handshake with
callbackscallbacks to be used for session policy decisions
policypolicy to be used for session policy decisions
Returns
a list of usable sessions that might be empty if no such session exists or passed the policy validation

◆ find_some()

virtual std::vector< Session_with_Handle > Botan::TLS::Session_Manager::find_some ( const Server_Information & info,
size_t max_sessions_hint )
protectedpure virtual

Internal retrieval function to find sessions to resume.

Try to find saved sessions using info about the server we're planning to connect to. It should return a list of sessions in preference order of the session manager.

Applications that wish to implement their own Session_Manager will have to provide an implementation for it.

Note that the TLS client implementations do not perform any checks on the validity of the session for a given info. Particularly, it is the Session_Manager's responsibility to ensure the restrictions posed in RFC 8446 4.6.1 regarding server certificate validity for the given info.

This is called for TLS clients only.

Parameters
infothe information about the server
max_sessions_hinta non-binding guideline for an upper bound of sessions to return from this method (will be at least 1 but potentially more)
Returns
the found sessions along with their handles (containing either a session ID or a ticket)

Implemented in Botan::TLS::Session_Manager_Hybrid, Botan::TLS::Session_Manager_In_Memory, Botan::TLS::Session_Manager_Noop, Botan::TLS::Session_Manager_SQL, and Botan::TLS::Session_Manager_Stateless.

◆ mutex()

◆ remove()

virtual size_t Botan::TLS::Session_Manager::remove ( const Session_Handle & handle)
pure virtual

Remove a specific session from the cache, if it exists. The handle might contain either a session ID or a ticket.

Parameters
handlea Session_Handle of the session to be removed
Returns
the number of sessions that were removed

◆ retrieve()

std::optional< Session > Botan::TLS::Session_Manager::retrieve ( const Session_Handle & handle,
Callbacks & callbacks,
const Policy & policy )
virtual

Retrieves a specific session given a handle.

This is typically used by TLS servers to obtain resumption information for a previous call to Session_Manager::establish() when a client requested resumption using the handle.

Even if the session is found successfully, it is returned only if it passes policy validations. Most notably an expiry check. If the expiry check fails, the default implementation calls Session_Manager::remove() for the provided handle.

Applications that wish to implement their own Session_Manager may override the default implementation to add further policy checks. Though, typically implementing Session_Manager::retrieve_one() and relying on the default implementation is enough.

Parameters
handlethe Session_Handle to be retrieved
callbackscallbacks to be used for session policy decisions
policypolicy to be used for session policy decisions
Returns
the obtained session or std::nullopt if no session was found or the policy checks failed

◆ retrieve_one()

virtual std::optional< Session > Botan::TLS::Session_Manager::retrieve_one ( const Session_Handle & handle)
protectedpure virtual

Internal retrieval function for a single session.

Try to obtain a Session from a Session_Handle that contains either a session ID or a session ticket. This method should not apply any policy decision (such as ticket expiry) but simply be a storage interface.

Applications that wish to implement their own Session_Manager will have to provide an implementation for it.

This method is called only by servers.

Parameters
handlea Session_Handle containing either an ID or a ticket
Returns
the obtained session or std::nullopt if none can be obtained

◆ store()

virtual void Botan::TLS::Session_Manager::store ( const Session & session,
const Session_Handle & handle )
pure virtual

Save a Session under a Session_Handle (TLS Client)

Save a session on a best effort basis; the manager may not in fact be able to save the session for whatever reason; this is not an error. Callers cannot assume that calling store() followed immediately by find() will result in a successful lookup.

In contrast to establish(), this stores sessions that were created by the server along with a Session_Handle also coined by the server.

This method is only called on TLS clients.

Parameters
sessionto save
handlea Session_Handle on which this session shoud by stored
