gnutls_safe_negotiation_set_initial(3) - Linux man page

Name

gnutls_safe_negotiation_set_initial - API function

Synopsis

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

void gnutls_safe_negotiation_set_initial(gnutls_session_t session, int value);

Arguments

gnutls_session_t session: is a gnutls_session_t structure.
int value: 0 to disable and 1 to enable

Description

Used to enable and disable initial safe renegotiation for the current session. By default it is allowed for a client or server to not advertise safe renegotiation capability. Note however that the client can not tell whether it is currently under attack or not and so this default will be changed for clients as soon as the unsafe servers are not widely deployed anymore. There might be also cases where signalling a client of its insecurity by rejecting session by the servers might be beneficial.
