Function Documentation

def hwm.network.security.verification.create_tls_context_factory

(

)

Creates and returns a new ssl.ContextFactory used to create TLS contexts for various ground station connections.

This method initializes a TLS context factory that uses the HWM instance's private key and public certificate (specified by 'tls-private-key-location' and 'tls-public-cert-location', respectively). These files uniquely identify the HWM instance and are typically generated and signed by the user interface. In addition, it also initializes the TLS context factory with the ground station's public CA certificate which is used to verify the integrity of user certificates.

Returns

Returns an ssl.ContextFactory for use by SSL listeners.
