Hi all,
We are almost ready to finally start coding in the security group, so Get
Here is the poll for the next security meeting, some time next week.http://doodle.com/poll/tagg6ekezvamn556
Some of the items on the agenda will be, discussing and finalizing:
# Status
:warning: This project is unmaintained experimental legacy code. It has been obsoleted by [swift-nio-ssl](https://github.com/apple/swift-nio-ssl) which contains the recommended TLS API of the [Swift Server Work Group](https://swift.org/server/).
It remains here for historical interest only.
# Introduction
Currently there is no standard Swift security library that is compatible with all of the current Swift platforms (Apple and Linux). This lack of standardization has resulted in multiple projects which either write their own Swift security functionality or use their security library of choice (be it OpenSSL, LibreSSL, etc.). This is not desirable because it can lead to:
- incompatibility of dependencies if more that one security package is needed by different modules (a project cannot have both OpenSSL and LibreSSL in its dependency graph)
- insecurity (using an unpatched or insecure library)
- unmaintainability (using non-standard or non-native libraries)
- more complex code (using different APIs for each platform).
This proposal outlines a set of design goals as well as an approach to be adopted by the Swift Server APIs project's Security Working Group for the creation of a single Swift security component that is cross-compatible on Apple and Linux (Ubuntu) platforms. The Security APIs will consist of both lower level crypto APIs (including hashing, symmetric and asymmetric crypto) as well as higher level APIs (including key/certificate management and secure communication such as TLS).
# Motivation
Having a consistent development experience for Swift across Apple and Linux helps drive higher developer productivity, safer code as well as better reuse of Swift assets/libraries across these platforms.
