tls - Node documentation

Usage in Deno

import * as mod from "node:tls";

The node:tls module provides an implementation of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocols that is built on top of OpenSSL. The module can be accessed using:

import tls from 'node:tls';

Classes

Functions

f
checkServerIdentity

Verifies the certificate cert is issued to hostname.

f
connect

The callback function, if specified, will be added as a listener for the 'secureConnect' event.

f
createSecureContext

[createServer](.././tls/~/createServer) sets the default value of the honorCipherOrder option to true, other APIs that create secure contexts leave it unset.

f
createServer

Creates a new Server. The secureConnectionListener, if provided, is automatically set as a listener for the 'secureConnection' event.

f
getCiphers

Returns an array with the names of the supported TLS ciphers. The names are lower-case for historical reasons, but must be uppercased to be used in the ciphers option of [createSecureContext](.././tls/~/createSecureContext).

f
createSecurePair

v
DEFAULT_CIPHERS

The default value of the ciphers option of createSecureContext(). It can be assigned any of the supported OpenSSL ciphers. Defaults to the content of crypto.constants.defaultCoreCipherList, unless changed using CLI options using --tls-default-ciphers.

v
DEFAULT_ECDH_CURVE

The default curve name to use for ECDH key agreement in a tls server. The default value is 'auto'. See createSecureContext() for further information.

v
DEFAULT_MAX_VERSION

The default value of the maxVersion option of createSecureContext(). It can be assigned any of the supported TLS protocol versions, 'TLSv1.3', 'TLSv1.2', 'TLSv1.1', or 'TLSv1'. Default: 'TLSv1.3', unless changed using CLI options. Using --tls-max-v1.2 sets the default to 'TLSv1.2'. Using --tls-max-v1.3 sets the default to 'TLSv1.3'. If multiple of the options are provided, the highest maximum is used.

v
DEFAULT_MIN_VERSION

The default value of the minVersion option of createSecureContext(). It can be assigned any of the supported TLS protocol versions, 'TLSv1.3', 'TLSv1.2', 'TLSv1.1', or 'TLSv1'. Default: 'TLSv1.2', unless changed using CLI options. Using --tls-min-v1.0 sets the default to 'TLSv1'. Using --tls-min-v1.1 sets the default to 'TLSv1.1'. Using --tls-min-v1.3 sets the default to 'TLSv1.3'. If multiple of the options are provided, the lowest minimum is used.

v
rootCertificates

An immutable array of strings representing the root certificates (in PEM format) from the bundled Mozilla CA store as supplied by the current Node.js version.
