+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_key_cb - set a callback for session ticket processing
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/tls1.h>
+
+ long SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_key_cb(SSL_CTX sslctx,
+ int (*cb)(SSL *s, unsigned char key_name[16],
+ unsigned char iv[EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH],
+ EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, HMAC_CTX *hctx, int enc));
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_key_cb() sets a callback fuction I<cb> for handling
+session tickets for the ssl context I<sslctx>. Session tickets, defined in
+RFC5077 provide an enhanced session resumption capability where the server
+implementation is not required to maintain per session state. It only applies
+to TLS and there is no SSLv3 implementation.
+
+The callback is available when the OpenSSL library was built without
+I<OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT> being defined.
+
+The callback function I<cb> will be called for every client instigated TLS
+session when session ticket extension is presented in the TLS hello
+message. It is the responsibility of this function to create or retrieve the
+cryptographic parameters and to maintain their state.
+
+The OpenSSL library uses your callback function to help implement a common TLS
+ticket construction state according to RFC5077 Section 4 such that per session
+state is unnecessary and a small set of cryptographic variables needs to be
+maintained by the callback function implementation.
+
+In order to reuse a session, a TLS client must send the a session ticket
+extension to the server. The client can only send exactly one session ticket.
+The server, through the callback function, either agrees to reuse the session
+ticket information or it starts a full TLS handshake to create a new session
+ticket.
+
+Before the callback function is started I<ctx> and I<hctx> have been
+initialised with EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init and HMAC_CTX_init respectively.
+
+For new sessions tickets, when the client doesn't present a session ticket, or
+an attempted retreival of the ticket failed, or a renew option was indicated,
+the callback function will be called with I<enc> equal to 1. The OpenSSL
+library expects that the function will set an arbitary I<name>, initialize
+I<iv>, and set the cipher context I<ctx> and the hash context I<hctx>.
+
+The I<name> is 16 characters long and is used as a key identifier.
+
+The I<iv> length is the length of the IV of the corresponding cipher. The
+maximum IV length is L<EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH> bytes defined in B<evp.h>.
+
+The initialization vector I<iv> should be a random value. The cipher context
+I<ctx> should use the initialisation vector I<iv>. The cipher context can be
+set using L<EVP_EncryptInit_ex>. The hmac context can be set using L<HMAC_Init_ex>.
+
+When the client presents a session ticket, the callback function with be called
+with I<enc> set to 0 indicating that the I<cb> function should retreive a set
+of parameters. In this case I<name> and I<iv> have already been parsed out of
+the session ticket. The OpenSSL library expects that the I<name> will be used
+to retrieve a cryptographic parameters and that the cryptographic context
+I<ctx> will be set with the retreived parameters and the initialization vector
+I<iv>. using a function like L<EVP_DecryptInit_ex>. The I<hctx> needs to be set
+using L<HMAC_Init_ex>.
+
+If the I<name> is still valid but a renewal of the ticket is required the
+callback function should return 2. The library will call the callback again
+with an arguement of enc equal to 1 to set the new ticket.
+
+The return value of the I<cb> function is used by OpenSSL to determine what
+further processing will occur. The following return values have meaning:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Z<>2
+
+This indicates that the I<ctx> and I<hctx> have been set and the session can
+continue on those parameters. Additionally it indicates that the session
+ticket is in a renewal period and should be replaced. The OpenSSL library will
+call I<cb> again with an enc argument of 1 to set the new ticket (see RFC5077
+3.3 paragraph 2).
+
+=item Z<>1
+
+This indicates that the I<ctx> and I<hctx> have been set and the session can
+continue on those parameters.
+
+=item Z<>0
+
+This indicates that it was not possible to set/retrieve a session ticket and
+the SSL/TLS session will continue by by negiotationing a set of cryptographic
+parameters or using the alternate SSL/TLS resumption mechanism, session ids.
+
+If called with enc equal to 0 the library will call the I<cb> again to get
+a new set of parameters.
+
+=item less than 0
+
+This indicates an error.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+Session resumption shortcuts the TLS so that the client certificate
+negiotation don't occur. It makes up for this by storing client certificate
+an all other negotiated state information encrypted within the ticket. In a
+resumed session the applications will have all this state information available
+exactly as if a full negiotation had occured.
+
+If an attacker can obtain the key used to encrypt a session ticket, they can
+obtain the master secret for any ticket using that key and decrypt any traffic
+using that session: even if the ciphersuite supports forward secrecy. As
+a result applications may wish to use multiple keys and avoid using long term
+keys stored in files.
+
+Applications can use longer keys to maintain a consistent level of security.
+For example if a ciphersuite uses 256 bit ciphers but only a 128 bit ticket key
+the overall security is only 128 bits because breaking the ticket key will
+enable an attacker to obtain the session keys.
