It is released and licensed under the Apache License 2.0. + +The s2n I/O APIs are designed to be intuitive to developers familiar with the widely-used POSIX I/O APIs, and s2n +supports blocking, non-blocking, and full-duplex I/O. Additionally there are no locks or mutexes within s2n. + +s2n implements SSLv3, TLS1.0, TLS1.1, and TLS1.2. For encryption, s2n supports 128-bit and 256-bit AES, in the CBC and +GCM modes, ChaCha20, 3DES, and RC4. For forward secrecy, s2n supports both DHE and ECDHE. s2n also supports the Server +Name Indicator (SNI), Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) and the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) +TLS extensions. SSLv3, RC4, 3DES and DHE are each disabled by default for security reasons. + +As it can be difficult to keep track of which encryption algorithms and protocols are best to use, s2n features a +simple API to use the latest "default" set of preferences. If you prefer to remain on a specific version for backwards +compatibility, that is also supported. + </longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
