.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The functions \fISSL_CTX_set_security_level()\fR and \fISSL_set_security_level()\fR set
the security level to \fBlevel\fR. If not set the library default security level
is used.
.PP
The functions \fISSL_CTX_get_security_level()\fR and \fISSL_get_security_level()\fR
retrieve the current security level.
.PP
\&\fISSL_CTX_set_security_callback()\fR, \fISSL_set_security_callback()\fR,
\&\fISSL_CTX_get_security_callback()\fR and \fISSL_get_security_callback()\fR get or set
the security callback associated with \fBctx\fR or \fBs\fR. If not set a default
security callback is used. The meaning of the parameters and the behaviour
of the default callbacks is described below.
.PP
\&\fISSL_CTX_set0_security_ex_data()\fR, \fISSL_set0_security_ex_data()\fR,
\&\fISSL_CTX_get0_security_ex_data()\fR and \fISSL_get0_security_ex_data()\fR set the
extra data pointer passed to the \fBex\fR parameter of the callback. This
value is passed to the callback verbatim and can be set to any convenient
application specific value.
.SH "DEFAULT CALLBACK BEHAVIOUR"
.IX Header "DEFAULT CALLBACK BEHAVIOUR"
If an application doesn't set its own security callback the default
callback is used. It is intended to provide sane defaults. The meaning
of each level is described below.
.IP "\fBLevel 0\fR" 4
.IX Item "Level 0"
Everything is permitted. This retains compatibility with previous versions of
OpenSSL.
.IP "\fBLevel 1\fR" 4
.IX Item "Level 1"
The security level corresponds to a minimum of 80 bits of security. Any
parameters offering below 80 bits of security are excluded. As a result \s-1RSA,
DSA\s0 and \s-1DH\s0 keys shorter than 1024 bits and \s-1ECC\s0 keys shorter than 160 bits
are prohibited. All export cipher suites are prohibited since they all offer
less than 80 bits of security. \s-1SSL\s0 version 2 is prohibited. Any cipher suite
using \s-1MD5\s0 for the \s-1MAC\s0 is also prohibited.
.IP "\fBLevel 2\fR" 4
.IX Item "Level 2"
Security level set to 112 bits of security. As a result \s-1RSA, DSA\s0 and \s-1DH\s0 keys
shorter than 2048 bits and \s-1ECC\s0 keys shorter than 224 bits are prohibited.
In addition to the level 1 exclusions any cipher suite using \s-1RC4\s0 is also
prohibited. \s-1SSL\s0 version 3 is also not allowed. Compression is disabled.
.IP "\fBLevel 3\fR" 4
.IX Item "Level 3"
Security level set to 128 bits of security. As a result \s-1RSA, DSA\s0 and \s-1DH\s0 keys
shorter than 3072 bits and \s-1ECC\s0 keys shorter than 256 bits are prohibited.
In addition to the level 2 exclusions cipher suites not offering forward
secrecy are prohibited. \s-1TLS\s0 versions below 1.1 are not permitted. Session
tickets are disabled.
.IP "\fBLevel 4\fR" 4
.IX Item "Level 4"
Security level set to 192 bits of security. As a result \s-1RSA, DSA\s0 and
\&\s-1DH\s0 keys shorter than 7680 bits and \s-1ECC\s0 keys shorter than 384 bits are
prohibited. Cipher suites using \s-1SHA1\s0 for the \s-1MAC\s0 are prohibited. \s-1TLS\s0
versions below 1.2 are not permitted.
.IP "\fBLevel 5\fR" 4
.IX Item "Level 5"
Security level set to 256 bits of security. As a result \s-1RSA, DSA\s0 and \s-1DH\s0 keys
shorter than 15360 bits and \s-1ECC\s0 keys shorter than 512 bits are prohibited.
.SH "APPLICATION DEFINED SECURITY CALLBACKS"
.IX Header "APPLICATION DEFINED SECURITY CALLBACKS"
\&\fIDocumentation to be provided.\fR
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The default security level can be configured when OpenSSL is compiled by
setting \fB\-DOPENSSL_TLS_SECURITY_LEVEL=level\fR. If not set then 1 is used.
.PP
The security framework disables or reject parameters inconsistent with the
set security level. In the past this was difficult as applications had to set
a number of distinct parameters (supported ciphers, supported curves supported
signature algorithms) to achieve this end and some cases (\s-1DH\s0 parameter size
for example) could not be checked at all.
.PP
By setting an appropriate security level much of this complexity can be
avoided.
.PP
The bits of security limits affect all relevant parameters including
cipher suite encryption algorithms, supported \s-1ECC\s0 curves, supported
signature algorithms, \s-1DH\s0 parameter sizes, certificate key sizes and
signature algorithms. This limit applies no matter what other custom
settings an application has set: so if the cipher suite is set to \fB\s-1ALL\s0\fR
then only cipher suites consistent with the security level are permissible.
.PP
See \s-1SP800\-57\s0 for how the security limits are related to individual
algorithms.
.PP
Some security levels require large key sizes for non-ECC public key
algorithms which can severely degrade performance. For example 256 bits
of security requires the use of \s-1RSA\s0 keys of at least 15360 bits in size.
.PP
Some restrictions can be gracefully handled: for example cipher suites
offering insufficient security are not sent by the client and will not
be selected by the server. Other restrictions such as the peer certificate
key size or the \s-1DH\s0 parameter size will abort the handshake with a fatal
alert.
.PP
Attempts to set certificates or parameters with insufficient security are
also blocked. For example trying to set a certificate using a 512 bit \s-1RSA\s0
key using \fISSL_CTX_use_certificate()\fR at level 1. Applications which do not
check the return values for errors will misbehave: for example it might
appear that a certificate is not set at all because it had been rejected.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fISSL_CTX_set_security_level()\fR and \fISSL_set_security_level()\fR do not return values.
.PP
\&\fISSL_CTX_get_security_level()\fR and \fISSL_get_security_level()\fR return a integer that
represents the security level with \fB\s-1SSL_CTX\s0\fR or \fB\s-1SSL\s0\fR, respectively.
.PP
\&\fISSL_CTX_set_security_callback()\fR and \fISSL_set_security_callback()\fR do not return
values.
.PP
\&\fISSL_CTX_get_security_callback()\fR and \fISSL_get_security_callback()\fR return the pointer
to the security callback or \s-1NULL\s0 if the callback is not set.
.PP
\&\fISSL_CTX_get0_security_ex_data()\fR and \fISSL_get0_security_ex_data()\fR return the extra
data pointer or \s-1NULL\s0 if the ex data is not set.
