tlse
A single-file TLS 1.0-1.3 and DTLS implementation in C, using libtomcrypt for cryptography.
What is tlse?
TLSe is a single-file TLS and DTLS implementation written in C, designed as a lightweight alternative to larger libraries like OpenSSL. It provides secure socket communication for applications ranging from embedded devices to servers, using libtomcrypt for cryptographic operations. The library supports TLS versions 1.0 through 1.3, DTLS, and additional features like SRTP and WebRTC integration.
C developers building networked applications, embedded systems engineers, and anyone needing a minimal, dependency-free TLS stack. It's particularly suited for projects where portability and simplicity are more critical than a full-featured SSL library.
Developers choose TLSe for its extreme simplicity—just one C file—and its focus on essential TLS functionality without bloat. It offers a unique combination of modern protocol support, context serialization for scaling, and the flexibility to work with both blocking and non-blocking I/O.
