23=head1 DESCRIPTION
24
25SSL_key_update() schedules an update of the keys for the current TLS connection.
26If the B<updatetype> parameter is set to B<SSL_KEY_UPDATE_NOT_REQUESTED> then
27the sending keys for this connection will be updated and the peer will be
28informed of the change. If the B<updatetype> parameter is set to
29B<SSL_KEY_UPDATE_REQUESTED> then the sending keys for this connection will be
30updated and the peer will be informed of the change along with a request for the
31peer to additionally update its sending keys. It is an error if B<updatetype> is
32set to B<SSL_KEY_UPDATE_NONE>.
33
34SSL_key_update() must only be called after the initial handshake has been
35completed and TLSv1.3 has been negotiated. The key update will not take place
36until the next time an IO operation such as SSL_read_ex() or SSL_write_ex()
37takes place on the connection. Alternatively SSL_do_handshake() can be called to
38force the update to take place immediately.
39
40SSL_get_key_update_type() can be used to determine whether a key update
41operation has been scheduled but not yet performed. The type of the pending key
42update operation will be returned if there is one, or SSL_KEY_UPDATE_NONE
43otherwise.
44
45SSL_renegotiate() and SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated() should only be called for
46connections that have negotiated TLSv1.2 or less. Calling them on any other
47connection will result in an error.
48
49When called from the client side, SSL_renegotiate() schedules a completely new
50handshake over an existing SSL/TLS connection. The next time an IO operation
51such as SSL_read_ex() or SSL_write_ex() takes place on the connection a check
52will be performed to confirm that it is a suitable time to start a
53renegotiation. If so, then it will be initiated immediately. OpenSSL will not
54attempt to resume any session associated with the connection in the new
55handshake.
56
57When called from the client side, SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated() works in the
58same was as SSL_renegotiate() except that OpenSSL will attempt to resume the
59session associated with the current connection in the new handshake.
60
61When called from the server side, SSL_renegotiate() and
62SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated() behave identically. They both schedule a request
63for a new handshake to be sent to the client. The next time an IO operation is
64performed then the same checks as on the client side are performed and then, if
65appropriate, the request is sent. The client may or may not respond with a new
66handshake and it may or may not attempt to resume an existing session. If
67a new handshake is started then this will be handled transparently by calling
68any OpenSSL IO function.
69
70If an OpenSSL client receives a renegotiation request from a server then again
71this will be handled transparently through calling any OpenSSL IO function. For
72a TLS connection the client will attempt to resume the current session in the
73new handshake. For historical reasons, DTLS clients will not attempt to resume
74the session in the new handshake.
75
76The SSL_renegotiate_pending() function returns 1 if a renegotiation or
77renegotiation request has been scheduled but not yet acted on, or 0 otherwise.
78
79=head1 RETURN VALUES
80
81SSL_key_update(), SSL_renegotiate() and SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated() return 1
82on success or 0 on error.
83
84SSL_get_key_update_type() returns the update type of the pending key update
85operation or SSL_KEY_UPDATE_NONE if there is none.
86
87SSL_renegotiate_pending() returns 1 if a renegotiation or renegotiation request
88has been scheduled but not yet acted on, or 0 otherwise.
