ocaml-tls
A pure OCaml implementation of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol for secure communication.
What is ocaml-tls?
ocaml-tls is a pure OCaml implementation of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, providing communication privacy to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery. It enables secure communication for web services, emails, VPNs, and wireless networks without relying on external C libraries, making it suitable for MirageOS unikernels and other OCaml-based systems.
OCaml developers building secure networked applications, especially those targeting MirageOS unikernels or requiring a pure OCaml TLS stack without C dependencies. It is also for developers needing TLS integration with specific OCaml schedulers like Lwt, Miou, Eio, or Async.
Developers choose ocaml-tls for its pure OCaml implementation, which eliminates external C dependencies, enhancing portability and security. Its scheduler-agnostic core and multiple scheduler integrations allow flexible deployment across different concurrency models, while fine-grained control over TLS parameters provides precise configuration.
