ESP-TLS
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The ESP-TLS component provides a simplified API interface for accessing the commonly used TLS functionality.
|
|
It supports common scenarios like CA certification validation, SNI, ALPN negotiation, non-blocking connection among others.
|
|
All the configuration can be specified in the ``esp_tls_cfg_t`` data structure. Once done, TLS communication can be conducted using the following APIs:
|
|
|
|
* :cpp:func:`esp_tls_conn_new`: for opening a new TLS connection.
|
|
* :cpp:func:`esp_tls_conn_read`: for reading from the connection.
|
|
* :cpp:func:`esp_tls_conn_write`: for writing into the connection.
|
|
* :cpp:func:`esp_tls_conn_delete`: for freeing up the connection.
|
|
|
|
Any application layer protocol like HTTP1, HTTP2 etc can be executed on top of this layer.
|
|
|
|
Application Example
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Simple HTTPS example that uses ESP-TLS to establish a secure socket connection: :example:`protocols/https_request`.
|

Tree structure for ESP-TLS component

|
The ESP-TLS component has a file :component_file:`esp-tls/esp_tls.h` which contain the public API headers for the component. Internally ESP-TLS component uses one
|
|
of the two SSL/TLS Libraries between mbedtls and wolfssl for its operation. API specific to mbedtls are present in :component_file:`esp-tls/private_include/esp_tls_mbedtls.h` and API
|
|
specific to wolfssl are present in :component_file:`esp-tls/private_include/esp_tls_wolfssl.h`.
|
|
|
|
Underlying SSL/TLS Library Options
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
The ESP-TLS component has an option to use mbedtls or wolfssl as their underlying SSL/TLS library. By default only mbedtls is available and is
|
|
used, wolfssl SSL/TLS library is available publicly at https://github.com/espressif/esp-wolfssl. The repository provides wolfssl component in binary format, it
|
|
also provides few examples which are useful for understanding the API. Please refer the repository README.md for
|
|
information on licensing and other options. Please see below option for using wolfssl in your project.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: `As the library options are internal to ESP-TLS, switching the libries will not change ESP-TLS specific code for a project.`
|
|
|
|
How to use wolfssl with ESP-IDF
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
There are two ways to use wolfssl in your project
|
|
|
|
1) Directly add wolfssl as a component in your project with following three commands.::
|
|
|
|
(First change directory (cd) to your project directory)
|
|
mkdir components
|
|
cd components
|
|
git clone https://github.com/espressif/esp-wolfssl.git
|
|
|
|
2) Add wolfssl as an extra component in your project.
|
|
|
|
* Download wolfssl with::
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/espressif/esp-wolfssl.git
|
|
|
|
* Include esp-wolfssl in ESP-IDF with setting EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS in CMakeLists.txt/Makefile of your project as done in `wolfssl/examples <https://github.com/espressif/esp-wolfssl/tree/master/examples>`_. For reference see Optional Project variables in :doc:`build-system.</api-guides/build-system>`
|
|
|
|
After above steps, you will have option to choose wolfssl as underlying SSL/TLS library in configuration menu of your project as follows::
|
|
|
|
idf.py/make menuconfig -> ESP-TLS -> choose SSL/TLS Library -> mbedtls/wolfssl
|
|
|
|
Comparison between mbedtls and wolfssl
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
The following table shows a typical comparison between wolfssl and mbedtls when :example:`protocols/https_request` example `(which has server authentication)` was run with both
|
|
SSL/TLS libraries and with all respective configurations set to default.
|
|
`(mbedtls IN_CONTENT length and OUT_CONTENT length were set to 16384 bytes and 4096 bytes respectively)`

ATECC608A (Secure Element) with ESP-TLS
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
ESP-TLS provides support for using ATECC608A cryptoauth chip with ESP32-WROOM-32SE.
|
|
Use of ATECC608A is supported only when ESP-TLS is used with mbedTLS as its underlying SSL/TLS stack.
|
|
ESP-TLS uses mbedtls as its underlying TLS/SSL stack by default unless changed manually.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: ATECC608A chip on ESP32-WROOM-32SE must be already configured and provisioned, for details refer `esp_cryptoauth_utility <https://github.com/espressif/esp-cryptoauthlib/blob/master/esp_cryptoauth_utility/README.md#esp_cryptoauth_utility>`_
|
|
|
|
To enable the secure element support, and use it in you project for TLS connection, you will have to follow below steps
|
|
|
|
1) Add `esp-cryptoauthlib <https://github.com/espressif/esp-cryptoauthlib>`_ in your project, for details please refer `esp-cryptoauthlib with ESP_IDF <https://github.com/espressif/esp-cryptoauthlib#how-to-use-esp-cryptoauthlib-with-esp-idf>`_
|
|
|
|
2) Enable following menuconfig option::
|
|
|
|
menuconfig->Component config->ESP-TLS->Use Secure Element (ATECC608A) with ESP-TLS
|
|
|
|
3) Select type of ATECC608A chip with following option::
|
|
|
|
menuconfig->Component config->esp-cryptoauthlib->Choose Type of ATECC608A chip
|
|
|
|
to know more about different types of ATECC608A chips and how to obtain type of ATECC608A connected to your ESP module please visit `ATECC608A chip type <https://github.com/espressif/esp-cryptoauthlib/blob/master/esp_cryptoauth_utility/README.md#find-type-of-atecc608a-chip-connected-to-esp32-wroom32-se>`_
|
|
|
|
4) Enable use of ATECC608A in ESP-TLS by providing following config option in `esp_tls_cfg_t`
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
esp_tls_cfg_t cfg = {
|
|
/* other configurations options */
|
|
.use_secure_element = true,
|
|
};
