Detailed Description

An implementation of Session_Manager that saves values in a SQLite3 database file, with the session data encrypted using a passphrase.

Warning

For clients, the hostnames associated with the saved sessions are stored in the database in plaintext. This may be a serious privacy risk in some situations.

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 )

virtualinherited

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

tickets	a list of tickets that were offered by the client
hash_function	the hash algorithm name we are going to use for the to-be-negotiated connection
callbacks	callbacks to be used for session policy decisions
policy	policy 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.

      auto session = retrieve(Opaque_Session_Handle(ticket.identity()), callbacks, policy);

      // RFC 8446 4.2.10
      //    For PSKs provisioned via NewSessionTicket, a server MUST validate
      //    that the ticket age for the selected PSK identity [...] is within a
      //    small tolerance of the time since the ticket was issued.  If it is
      //    not, the server SHOULD proceed with the handshake but reject 0-RTT,
      //    and SHOULD NOT take any other action that assumes that this
      //    ClientHello is fresh.
      //
      // TODO: The ticket-age is currently not checked (as 0-RTT is not
      //       implemented) and we simply take the SHOULD at face value.

database_is_threadsafe()

Decides whether the underlying database is considered threadsafe in the context the Session_Manager is used. If this returns false, accesses to the database are serialized with the base class' recursive mutex.

emits_session_tickets()

bool Botan::TLS::Session_Manager_SQL::emits_session_tickets ( )

inlineoverridevirtualinherited

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 )

virtualinherited

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

session	to save
id	to use (instead of an ID chosen by the manager)
tls12_no_ticket	disable 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 )

virtualinherited

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

info	the info about the server we want to handshake with
callbacks	callbacks to be used for session policy decisions
policy	policy 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()

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

overrideprotectedvirtualinherited

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

info	the information about the server
max_sessions_hint	a 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)

retrieve()

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

virtualinherited

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

handle	the Session_Handle to be retrieved
callbacks	callbacks to be used for session policy decisions
policy	policy to be used for session policy decisions

Returns

the obtained session or std::nullopt if no session was found or the policy checks failed
