feat: Add TLS/SSL support for secure communication#61
Merged
Conversation
Implemented SSL/TLS wrapper for ASIO TCP socket: - Created secure_tcp_socket class wrapping asio::ssl::stream - Added async_handshake() for SSL handshake (client/server mode) - Implemented encrypted async_read_some() and async_write() - Thread-safe callback registration with mutex protection - Support for receive and error callbacks - Start/stop read loop control This provides the foundation for TLS/SSL encrypted communication on top of existing TCP infrastructure.
Implemented secure server for encrypted TCP communication: - Created secure_session class for SSL/TLS encrypted sessions - Implemented secure_messaging_server with SSL context management - Loads SSL certificate and private key at initialization - Performs SSL handshake before data transmission - Inherits session cleanup and backpressure from messaging_server - Supports all monitoring and metrics collection features SSL Configuration: - Uses TLS 1.2+ (no SSLv2) - Loads certificate chain and private key from PEM files - Server-side handshake for incoming connections - Automatic session cleanup every 30 seconds This provides production-ready TLS/SSL encrypted server functionality.
Implemented secure client for encrypted TCP communication: - Created secure_messaging_client class for SSL/TLS encrypted connections - Performs SSL handshake after TCP connection establishment - Supports certificate verification (optional, configurable) - Client-side handshake with server certificate validation - Uses default system certificate paths for verification - Synchronous handshake with 10-second timeout Features: - Encrypted data transmission via send_packet() - Automatic connection state management - Thread-safe operations with atomic flags - Graceful error handling and cleanup - Compatible with secure_messaging_server This completes the TLS/SSL client-server implementation.
…pilation - Add BUILD_TLS_SUPPORT option (default ON) - Move TLS/SSL sources to conditional compilation block - Update WebSocket section to avoid duplicate OpenSSL finding - Add TLS/SSL support to build configuration summary
- Mark Issue #4 (Add TLS/SSL Support) as completed in IMPROVEMENTS.md - Add v1.4.0 release notes to CHANGELOG.md with detailed TLS/SSL features - Update Version Support Matrix to include v1.4.0 as current version
- Update README.md and README_KO.md with TLS/SSL features and examples - Add TLS/SSL to Core Features and Protocol Support sections - Update architecture diagrams to include secure components - Add TLS/SSL secure server and client examples - Add OpenSSL to dependencies (required) - Update IMPROVEMENTS_KO.md to mark Issue #4 as completed - Update CHANGELOG_KO.md with v1.4.0 release notes (TLS/SSL support) - Update Version Support Matrix to include v1.4.0 as current version
- Remove unused <type_traits> header - Remove unused send_coroutine.h include - Build verified successfully
