## TLS - Transport Layer Security purely in OCaml

%%VERSION%%

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is probably the most widely deployed security

protocol on the Internet. It provides communication privacy to prevent

eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery. Furthermore, it optionally

provides authentication of the involved endpoints. TLS is commonly deployed for

securing web services ([HTTPS](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2818)), emails,

virtual private networks, and wireless networks.

TLS uses asymmetric cryptography to exchange a symmetric key, and optionally

authenticate (using X.509) either or both endpoints. It provides algorithmic

agility, which means that the key exchange method, symmetric encryption

algorithm, and hash algorithm are negotiated.

## Documentation

[API documentation](https://mirleft.github.io/ocaml-tls/doc)

## Installation

`opam install tls` will install this library.

You can also build this locally by conducting the steps:

```bash

opam install --deps-only -t . # or a named package instead of `.` - i.e. ./tls-lwt.opam

dune build --profile=release # you can also put a package list here, i.e. tls,tls-lwt -- you can also use `@all` target to compile examples as well

```
