<p>
Asio contains classes and class templates for basic SSL support. These classes
allow encrypted communication to be layered on top of an existing stream,
such as a TCP socket.
</p>
<p>
Before creating an encrypted stream, an application must construct an SSL
context object. This object is used to set SSL options such as verification
mode, certificate files, and so on. As an illustration, client-side initialisation
may look something like:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">ssl</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">context</span> <span class="identifier">ctx</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">ssl</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">context</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">sslv23</span><span class="special">);</span>
<span class="identifier">ctx</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">set_verify_mode</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">ssl</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">verify_peer</span><span class="special">);</span>
<span class="identifier">ctx</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">load_verify_file</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"ca.pem"</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
To use SSL with a TCP socket, one may write:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">ssl</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">ip</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tcp</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">ssl_sock</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">my_io_context</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">ctx</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
To perform socket-specific operations, such as establishing an outbound connection
or accepting an incoming one, the underlying socket must first be obtained
using the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">ssl</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream</span></code> template's <a class="link" href="../reference/ssl__stream/lowest_layer.html" title="ssl::stream::lowest_layer"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">lowest_layer</span><span class="special">()</span></code></a>
member function:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">ip</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tcp</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">lowest_layer_type</span><span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">sock</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">ssl_sock</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">lowest_layer</span><span class="special">();</span>
<span class="identifier">sock</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">connect</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">my_endpoint</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
In some use cases the underlying stream object will need to have a longer
lifetime than the SSL stream, in which case the template parameter should
be a reference to the stream type:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">ip</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tcp</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span> <span class="identifier">sock</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">my_io_context</span><span class="special">);</span>
<span class="identifier">ssl</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">ip</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tcp</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">ssl_sock</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">sock</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">ctx</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
SSL handshaking must be performed prior to transmitting or receiving data
over an encrypted connection. This is accomplished using the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">ssl</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream</span></code>
template's <a class="link" href="../reference/ssl__stream/handshake.html" title="ssl::stream::handshake">handshake()</a>
or <a class="link" href="../reference/ssl__stream/async_handshake.html" title="ssl::stream::async_handshake">async_handshake()</a>
member functions.
</p>
<p>
Once connected, SSL stream objects are used as synchronous or asynchronous
read and write streams. This means the objects can be used with any of the
<a class="link" href="../reference/read.html" title="read">read()</a>, <a class="link" href="../reference/async_read.html" title="async_read">async_read()</a>,
<a class="link" href="../reference/write.html" title="write">write()</a>, <a class="link" href="../reference/async_write.html" title="async_write">async_write()</a>,

free functions.

Asio provides various methods for configuring the way SSL certificates are
verified:

</li>
</ul></div>
<p>
To simplify use cases where certificates are verified according to the rules
in RFC 6125 (identity verification in the context of Transport Layer Security),
Asio provides a reusable verification callback as a function object:
</p>

to the rules used by HTTPS:

SSL stream objects perform no locking of their own. Therefore, it is essential
that all asynchronous SSL operations are performed in an implicit or explicit
