OpenSSL DTLS1.2 Bindings

This module enables your application to listen for incoming DTLS1.2 connections. It uses OpenSSL 1.1.1, which is shipped with Node.js version 10 up to version 16.

API

const DTLS = require('openssl-dtls');
const srv = DTLS.createServer(opts);

Spawns a new server. opts is an object:

  • key: Buffer. The server's private key in PEM format. Mandatory.
  • cert: Buffer. The server's certificate in PEM format. Mandatory.
  • ca: Buffer. CA certificate for validation of client certificates. Optional.
  • requestCert: Boolean. Request certificate from client. Default: false.
  • rejectUnauthorized: Boolean. Reject invalid client certificates. Default: false.
  • mtu: Number. The wire's MTU. Default: 1500 Ethernet MTU - 40 IPv6 Header - 8 UDP Header = 1452.
  • ciphers: String. Allowed ciphers. Further details: OpenSSL Cipher List Format. Optional.
  • socket: Instances of dgram.Socket. By default a new 'udp6' dgram socket will be created.
  • handshakeTimeout: Duration in milliseconds how long a DTLS handshake can take until it will be aborted and the state is removed. Default: 30 1000ms*
  • connectionTimeout: Duration in milliseconds how long a DTLS connection can stay established without any received data until the connection is closed. Default: 10 60 1000ms
  • retransmitTimeout: Number or Function. A number states the initial retransmit timeout in microseconds that is doubled in every iteration. Function: (lastTimeout) => nextTimeout, where lastTimeout is zero in the first iteration. Default: 1000000.

Class: Server

Method: bind()

srv.bind(...);

Proxy method for the bind() method of the socket specified with DTLS.createServer(). If you haven't specified anything, have a look into the documentation of UDP/Datagram.

Method: close()

srv.close([cb]);

Shuts down the server and calls cb once the underlying socket has been closed.

Event: connection

srv.on('connection', (info) => {...});

Is raised if a client has started a handshake. info:

  • address: Remote address.
  • port: Remote port.

Event: error

srv.on('error', (err, info) => {...});

Is raised if something went wrong. err is an instance of Error. info:

  • address: Remote address.
  • port: Remote port.

Event: secureConnection

srv.on('secureConnection', (peer) => {...});

Is raised once a handshake has been successfully finished. peer is an instance of Peer.

Class: Peer

Method: address()

const info = peer.address();

Returns the peers address. info:

  • address: Remote address.
  • port: Remote port.

Method: getCertChain()

const chain = peer.getCertChain();

Returns the peers certificate chain. chain is a Buffer containing the certificates in PEM format. If no certificates has been prensented by the client, chain is and empty Buffer.

Method: send()

peer.send(message);

Sends message to the client. message has to be a Buffer.

Method: end()

peer.end();

Closes connection to peer.

Event: message

peer.on('message', (message) => {...});

Is raised if a message has been received from peer.

Event: close

peer.on('close', () => {...});

Is raised if the connection to peer has been closed.
