State Machine Design
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
This file provides some guidance on the thinking behind the design of the
|
|
state machine code to aid future maintenance.
|
|
|
|
The state machine code replaces an older state machine present in OpenSSL
|
|
versions 1.0.2 and below. The new state machine has the following objectives:
|
|
|
|
- Remove duplication of state code between client and server
|
|
- Remove duplication of state code between TLS and DTLS
|
|
- Simplify transitions and bring the logic together in a single location
|
|
so that it is easier to validate
|
|
- Remove duplication of code between each of the message handling functions
|
|
- Receive a message first and then work out whether that is a valid
|
|
transition - not the other way around (the other way causes lots of issues
|
|
where we are expecting one type of message next but actually get something
|
|
else)
|
|
- Separate message flow state from handshake state (in order to better
|
|
understand each)
|
|
* message flow state = when to flush buffers; handling restarts in the
|
|
event of NBIO events; handling the common flow of steps for reading a
|
|
message and the common flow of steps for writing a message etc
|
|
* handshake state = what handshake message are we working on now
|
|
- Control complexity: only the state machine can change state: keep all
|
|
the state changes local to the state machine component
|
|
|
|
The message flow state machine is divided into a reading sub-state machine and a
|
|
writing sub-state machine. See the source comments in statem.c for a more
|
|
detailed description of the various states and transitions possible.
|
|
|
|
Conceptually the state machine component is designed as follows:
|
|
|
|
libssl
