TLS Channel
A Java library that implements a ByteChannel interface over SSLEngine, providing a socket-like API for TLS.
What is TLS Channel?
TLS Channel is a Java library that implements a ByteChannel interface over SSLEngine, providing a simple, socket-like API for TLS connections. It solves the problem of Java's complex and low-level SSLEngine API by offering a streaming interface that makes encryption an implementation detail, similar to how OpenSSL works for C.
Java developers who need direct socket-like access to TLS connections without relying on larger I/O frameworks like Netty or dealing with the complexity of SSLEngine directly.
Developers choose TLS Channel because it provides a minimal, dependency-free library that offers a familiar streaming API for TLS, supports both blocking and non-blocking modes, and includes security features like automatic zeroing and opportunistic buffer release, all while leveraging the standard Java cryptographic implementation.
Overview
