PacketPeerDTLS
==============

**Inherits:** :ref:`PacketPeer<class_PacketPeer>` **<** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

DTLS packet peer.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

This class represents a DTLS peer connection. It can be used to connect to a DTLS server, and is returned by :ref:`DTLSServer.take_connection<class_DTLSServer_method_take_connection>`.

\ **Warning:** SSL/TLS certificate revocation and certificate pinning are currently not supported. Revoked certificates are accepted as long as they are otherwise valid. If this is a concern, you may want to use automatically managed certificates with a short validity period.

Enumerations
------------

.. _enum_PacketPeerDTLS_Status:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration

enum **Status**:

.. _class_PacketPeerDTLS_constant_STATUS_DISCONNECTED:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`Status<enum_PacketPeerDTLS_Status>` **STATUS_DISCONNECTED** = ``0``

A status representing a **PacketPeerDTLS** that is disconnected.

.. _class_PacketPeerDTLS_constant_STATUS_HANDSHAKING:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`Status<enum_PacketPeerDTLS_Status>` **STATUS_HANDSHAKING** = ``1``

A status representing a **PacketPeerDTLS** that is currently performing the handshake with a remote peer.

.. _class_PacketPeerDTLS_constant_STATUS_CONNECTED:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`Status<enum_PacketPeerDTLS_Status>` **STATUS_CONNECTED** = ``2``

A status representing a **PacketPeerDTLS** that is connected to a remote peer.

.. _class_PacketPeerDTLS_constant_STATUS_ERROR:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`Status<enum_PacketPeerDTLS_Status>` **STATUS_ERROR** = ``3``

A status representing a **PacketPeerDTLS** in a generic error state.

.. _class_PacketPeerDTLS_constant_STATUS_ERROR_HOSTNAME_MISMATCH:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`Status<enum_PacketPeerDTLS_Status>` **STATUS_ERROR_HOSTNAME_MISMATCH** = ``4``

An error status that shows a mismatch in the DTLS certificate domain presented by the host and the domain requested for validation.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_PacketPeerDTLS_method_connect_to_peer:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **connect_to_peer** **(** :ref:`PacketPeerUDP<class_PacketPeerUDP>` packet_peer, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` validate_certs=true, :ref:`String<class_String>` for_hostname="", :ref:`X509Certificate<class_X509Certificate>` valid_certificate=null **)**

Connects a ``peer`` beginning the DTLS handshake using the underlying :ref:`PacketPeerUDP<class_PacketPeerUDP>` which must be connected (see :ref:`PacketPeerUDP.connect_to_host<class_PacketPeerUDP_method_connect_to_host>`). If ``validate_certs`` is ``true``, **PacketPeerDTLS** will validate that the certificate presented by the remote peer and match it with the ``for_hostname`` argument. You can specify a custom :ref:`X509Certificate<class_X509Certificate>` to use for validation via the ``valid_certificate`` argument.

----

.. _class_PacketPeerDTLS_method_disconnect_from_peer:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **disconnect_from_peer** **(** **)**

Disconnects this peer, terminating the DTLS session.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_PacketPeerDTLS_method_get_status:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Status<enum_PacketPeerDTLS_Status>` **get_status** **(** **)** |const|

Returns the status of the connection. See :ref:`Status<enum_PacketPeerDTLS_Status>` for values.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_PacketPeerDTLS_method_poll:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **poll** **(** **)**

Poll the connection to check for incoming packets. Call this frequently to update the status and keep the connection working.
