<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I am porting the SSL implementation onto the ThunkStack
framework. Currently looking at
SecurityOps>>#installOn...:::: and understanding a
fundamental differeence between SSL and ParrotTalk.</p>
<p>To check it out doIt to:<br/>
</p>
<p>Installer ss<br/>
project: 'Cryptography';<br/>
install: 'ProCrypto-1-1-1';<br/>
install: 'ProCryptoTests-1-1-1';<br/>
install: 'SSLLoader'.<br/>
<br/>
This SSLLoader config loads the new ThunkStack, ParrotTalk and
SSL.<br/>

While in handshake mode, the SessionOperations is the top layer to see the handshakes and no layers above are yet needed. On #successfulConnection (or something) the securityOps installs the ICCE thunks on the stack, on top of the sessionOperations which passes data messages up the ICCE stack, now.</span><span class="c-mrkdwn__br" data-stringify-type="paragraph-break" style="box-sizing: inherit; display: block; height: 8px; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"></span><span style="color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;">In SSL, it installs Null ICCE on initialization. Not sure yet where the sessionOperations is I believe on top of the Null ICCE. The handshake msgs go through this null pipeline. On completion of handshaking, these ICCE are exchanged for the agreed configuration of negotiated non-null ICCE thunks. Now the session is encrypted.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;">I am unsure which is best. Perhaps having examples of both options is of benefit. The first is like capabilities, if you don't have it you don't use it, in the absence of ICCE. The second is more an example of the Null pattern, it is there but doesn't do anything. Having a placeholder. Mmm...placeholder.</span></p>

The SessionProtocolSelector is a work in progress...
