I'm pleased to announce TLS Lite v0.2.0. TLS Lite is a pure-python, public domain SSL/TLS library. It supports encrypted and authenticated socket communications using the TLS protocol (RFC 2246, aka SSL v3.1). TLS Lite has minimal support for X.509 certificates, but focuses on up-and-coming authentication methods like SRP [1], shared-keys [2], and cryptoIDs [3]. These methods are easier to use than the X.509 certificates normally used with TLS. They're also barely out of the oven - the first two are Internet-Drafts, and the last is something I made up. It's fun stuff to mess with, but keep in mind that the drafts may change, and the code's alpha quality.. Other highlights: - SSL v3 and TLS v1 support - Pure python - with AES, throughput ~25 KB/sec, on a P4 1.7 Ghz - with RC4, throughput ~250 KB/sec - Can use cryptlib [4] or OpenSSL/M2crypto [5] for faster ciphers & math: - throughput ~6 MB/sec - Integrates with httplib and SocketServer framework Home Page and Download ----------------------- http://trevp.net/tlslite Sourceforge (not much there, working on it..) ------------ http://sourceforge.net/projects/tlslite/ Mailing list ------------- http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tlslite-users Feedback is much appreciated.
