Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ AlertLevel

\inmodule QtNetwork

This enum describes the level of an alert message that was sent or received.

\value Warning Non-fatal alert message \value Fatal Fatal alert message, the underlying backend will handle such an alert properly and close the connection. \value Unknown An alert of unknown level of severity.

\value DnsEntry A DNS host name entry; the entry contains a host name entry that the certificate is valid for. The entry may contain wildcards.

◆ EncodingFormat

Describes supported encoding formats for certificates and keys.

\value Pem The PEM format. \value Der The DER format.

Enumerator
Pem 
Der 

Definition at line 28 of file qssl.h.

◆ ImplementedClass

enum class QSsl::ImplementedClass
strong

Enumerates classes that a TLS backend implements.

Since
6.1

\inmodule QtNetwork

In QtNetwork, some classes have backend-specific implementation and thus can be left unimplemented. Enumerators in this enum indicate, which class has a working implementation in the backend.

\value Key Class QSslKey. \value Certificate Class QSslCertificate. \value Socket Class QSslSocket. \value DiffieHellman Class QSslDiffieHellmanParameters. \value EllipticCurve Class QSslEllipticCurve. \value Dtls Class QDtls. \value DtlsCookie Class QDtlsClientVerifier.

Enumerator
Key 
Certificate 
Socket 
DiffieHellman 
EllipticCurve 
Dtls 
DtlsCookie 

Definition at line 131 of file qssl.h.

◆ KeyAlgorithm

Describes the different key algorithms supported by QSslKey.

\value Rsa The RSA algorithm. \value Dsa The DSA algorithm. \value Ec The Elliptic Curve algorithm. \value Dh The Diffie-Hellman algorithm. \value Opaque A key that should be treated as a 'black box' by QSslKey.

The opaque key facility allows applications to add support for facilities such as PKCS#11 that Qt does not currently offer natively.

Enumerator
Opaque 
Rsa 
Dsa 
Ec 
Dh 

Definition at line 34 of file qssl.h.

◆ KeyType

Describes the two types of keys QSslKey supports.

\value PrivateKey A private key. \value PublicKey A public key.

Enumerator
PrivateKey 
PublicKey 

Definition at line 22 of file qssl.h.

◆ SslOption

Describes the options that can be used to control the details of SSL behaviour.

These options are generally used to turn features off to work around buggy servers.

\value SslOptionDisableEmptyFragments Disables the insertion of empty fragments into the data when using block ciphers. When enabled, this prevents some attacks (such as the BEAST attack), however it is incompatible with some servers. \value SslOptionDisableSessionTickets Disables the SSL session ticket extension. This can cause slower connection setup, however some servers are not compatible with the extension. \value SslOptionDisableCompression Disables the SSL compression extension. When enabled, this allows the data being passed over SSL to be compressed, however some servers are not compatible with this extension. \value SslOptionDisableServerNameIndication Disables the SSL server name indication extension. When enabled, this tells the server the virtual host being accessed allowing it to respond with the correct certificate. \value SslOptionDisableLegacyRenegotiation Disables the older insecure mechanism for renegotiating the connection parameters. When enabled, this option can allow connections for legacy servers, but it introduces the possibility that an attacker could inject plaintext into the SSL session. \value SslOptionDisableSessionSharing Disables SSL session sharing via the session ID handshake attribute. \value SslOptionDisableSessionPersistence Disables storing the SSL session in ASN.1 format as returned by QSslConfiguration::sessionTicket(). Enabling this feature adds memory overhead of approximately 1K per used session ticket. \value SslOptionDisableServerCipherPreference Disables selecting the cipher chosen based on the servers preferences rather than the order ciphers were sent by the client. This option is only relevant to server sockets, and is only honored by the OpenSSL backend.

By default, SslOptionDisableEmptyFragments is turned on since this causes problems with a large number of servers. SslOptionDisableLegacyRenegotiation is also turned on, since it introduces a security risk. SslOptionDisableCompression is turned on to prevent the attack publicised by CRIME. SslOptionDisableSessionPersistence is turned on to optimize memory usage. The other options are turned off.

Note
Availability of above options depends on the version of the SSL backend in use.

◆ SslProtocol

Describes the protocol of the cipher.

\value TlsV1_0 TLSv1.0 \value TlsV1_0OrLater TLSv1.0 and later versions. \value TlsV1_1 TLSv1.1. \value TlsV1_1OrLater TLSv1.1 and later versions. \value TlsV1_2 TLSv1.2. \value TlsV1_2OrLater TLSv1.2 and later versions. \value DtlsV1_0 DTLSv1.0 \value DtlsV1_0OrLater DTLSv1.0 and later versions. \value DtlsV1_2 DTLSv1.2 \value DtlsV1_2OrLater DTLSv1.2 and later versions. \value TlsV1_3 TLSv1.3. (Since Qt 5.12) \value TlsV1_3OrLater TLSv1.3 and later versions. (Since Qt 5.12) \value UnknownProtocol The cipher's protocol cannot be determined. \value AnyProtocol Any supported protocol. This value is used by QSslSocket only. \value SecureProtocols The default option, using protocols known to be secure.

◆ SupportedFeature

enum class QSsl::SupportedFeature
strong

Enumerates possible features that a TLS backend supports.

Since
6.1

\inmodule QtNetwork

In QtNetwork TLS-related classes have public API, that may be left unimplemented by some backend, for example, our SecureTransport backend does not support server-side ALPN. Enumerators from SupportedFeature enum indicate that a particular feature is supported.

\value CertificateVerification Indicates that QSslCertificate::verify() is implemented by the backend. \value ClientSideAlpn Client-side ALPN (Application Layer Protocol Negotiation). \value ServerSideAlpn Server-side ALPN. \value Ocsp OCSP stapling (Online Certificate Status Protocol). \value Psk Pre-shared keys. \value SessionTicket Session tickets. \value Alerts Information about alert messages sent and received.
