The object containing the certificates to trust when making a secure client connection, and the certificate chain and private key to serve from a secure server.

The SecureSocket and SecureServer classes take a SecurityContext as an argument to their connect and bind methods.

Certificates and keys can be added to a SecurityContext from either PEM or PKCS12 containers.

Static Properties

defaultContext → SecurityContext

Secure networking classes with an optional context parameter use the defaultContext object if the parameter is omitted. This object can also be accessed, and modified, directly. Each isolate has a different defaultContext object. The defaultContext object uses a list of well-known trusted certificate authorities as its trusted roots. This list is taken from Mozilla, who maintains it as part of Firefox.

setAlpnProtocols(List<String> protocols, bool isServer) → void

Sets the list of application-level protocols supported by a client connection or server connection. The ALPN (application level protocol negotiation) extension to TLS allows a client to send a list of protocols in the TLS client hello message, and the server to pick one and send the selected one back in its server hello message.…
