Remarks

Use this component to set up secure connections from your application.

TLSClient offers comprehensive support for all versions of the TLS protocol, including the most popular TLS 1.2 and the newest TLS 1.3. Among other features this component can offer are:

  • Certificate-based and PSK authentication types are supported, making this component the ideal fit for all sorts of Internet environments.
  • Support for efficient reconnections using TLS session resume approach.
  • Comprehensive support for all existing cipher suites.
  • DH and Elliptic Curve key exchange algorithms.
  • Support for SNI, Extended Master Secret, Cookie, and other protocol extensions included as standard.
