Adds TLS-PSK support to the Python ssl package

sslpsk2

This module adds TLS-PSK support to the Python 2.7 and 3.x ssl package. Simply use

sslpsk2.wrap_socket(sock, psk=b'...', ...)

instead of

ssl.wrap_socket(sock, ...)

Installation

pip install sslpsk2

pip builds from source for Linux and Mac OSX, so a C compiler, the Python development headers, and the openSSL development headers are required. For Microsoft Windows, pre-built binaries are available so there are no such prerequisites.

Usage

sslpsk2.wrap_socket(...) is a drop-in replacement for ssl.wrap_socket(...) that supports two additional arguments, psk and hint.

psk sets the preshared key and, optionally, the identity for a client connection. hint sets the identity hint for a server connection and is optional.

For client connections, psk can be one of four things:

1. Just the preshared key.

sslpsk2.wrap_socket(sock, psk=b'mypsk')

2. A tuple of the preshared key and client identity.

sslpsk2.wrap_socket(sock, psk=(b'mypsk', b'myidentity'))

3. A function mapping the server identity hint to the preshared key.

PSK_FOR = {b'server1' : b'abcdef',
           b'server2' : b'123456'}

sslpsk2.wrap_socket(sock, psk=lambda hint: PSK_FOR[hint])

4. A function mapping the server identity hint to a tuple of the preshared key and client identity.

PSK_FOR = {b'server1' : b'abcdef',
           b'server2' : b'123456'}

ID_FOR  = {b'server1' : b'clientA',
           b'server2' : b'clientB'}

sslpsk2.wrap_socket(sock, psk=lambda hint: (PSK_FOR[hint], ID_FOR[hint]))

For server connections, psk can be one of two things:

1. Just the preshared key.

sslpsk2.wrap_socket(sock, server_side=True, psk=b'mypsk')

2. A function mapping the client identity to the preshared key.

PSK_FOR = {b'clientA' : b'abcdef',
           b'clientB' : b'123456'}

sslpsk2.wrap_socket(sock, server_side=True, psk=lambda identity: PSK_FOR[identity])

Additionally for server connections, the optional server identity hint is specified using the hint argument.

sslpsk2.wrap_socket(sock, server_side=True, hint=b'myidentity', psk=b'mypsk')

If hint is not specified, None, or the empty string, the identity hint will not be sent to the client.

Example Server

from __future__ import print_function
import socket
import ssl
import sslpsk2

PSKS = {'client1' : 'abcdef',
        'client2' : '123456'}

def server(host, port):
    tcp_sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    tcp_sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
    tcp_sock.bind((host, port))
    tcp_sock.listen(1)

    sock, _ = tcp_sock.accept()
    ssl_sock = sslpsk2.wrap_socket(sock,
                                  server_side = True,
                                  ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1,
                                  ciphers='ALL:!ADH:!LOW:!EXP:!MD5:@STRENGTH',
                                  psk=lambda identity: PSKS[identity],
                                  hint=b'server1')

    msg = ssl_sock.recv(4).decode()
    print('Server received: %s'%(msg))
    msg = "pong"
    ssl_sock.sendall(msg.encode())

    ssl_sock.shutdown(socket.SHUT_RDWR)
    ssl_sock.close()

def main():
    host = '127.0.0.1'
    port = 6000
    server(host, port)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Example Client

from __future__ import print_function
import socket
import ssl
import sslpsk2

PSKS = {b'server1' : b'abcdef',
        b'server2' : b'uvwxyz'}

def client(host, port, psk):
    tcp_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    tcp_socket.connect((host, port))

    ssl_sock = sslpsk2.wrap_socket(tcp_socket,
                                  ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1,
                                  ciphers='ALL:!ADH:!LOW:!EXP:!MD5:@STRENGTH',
                                  psk=lambda hint: (PSKS[hint], b'client1'))

    msg = "ping"
    ssl_sock.sendall(msg.encode())
    msg = ssl_sock.recv(4).decode()
    print('Client received: %s'%(msg))

    ssl_sock.shutdown(socket.SHUT_RDWR)
    ssl_sock.close()

def main():
    host = '127.0.0.1'
    port = 6000
    client(host, port, PSKS)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
