## 🔒 **Security & TLS 1.3 Support**



DelphiMVCFramework provides enterprise-grade security features including full **TLS 1.3 support**. The framework automatically negotiates the highest available TLS version and provides:



- **Perfect Forward Secrecy** with modern cipher suites

- **Certificate validation** and custom certificate handling

- **SNI (Server Name Indication)** support for multiple SSL certificates

- **HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)** headers

- **Secure cookie** handling with SameSite attributes

- **CSRF protection** mechanisms



TLS 1.3 brings significant security and performance improvements, including faster handshakes and stronger encryption algorithms. DelphiMVCFramework leverages these improvements automatically when deployed in compatible environments.



## 🏁 **Quick Start**



Here's how a simple DMVCFramework controller looks like:



```pascal

// 1. Create a controller

[MVCPath('/api/hello')]

TMyController = class(TMVCController)

public

  [MVCPath('/world')]

  [MVCHTTPMethod([httpGET])]

  function HelloWorld: TMyObject;

end;



// 2. Implement the action

function TMyController.HelloWorld: TMyObject;

begin

  Result := TMyObject.Create('Hello World!');

end;



// 3. Register and start server elsewhere

FMVC := TMVCEngine.Create(Self);

FMVC.AddController(TMyController);

```
