Все шифруемые клиентские потоки теперь по умолчанию включают проверку пиров. По умолчанию используется OpenSSL CA пакет для проверки сертификата пира. В большинстве случаев не требуется ничего делать для соединения с серверами с правильным SSL сертификатом, так как обычно OpenSSL уже настроен для использования хороших CA пакетов.

Стандартный CA пакет может быть переопределен глобально с помощью установки или openssl.cafile или openssl.capath строк конфигурации, или же на уровне каждого запроса используя опции контекста cafile или capath.

Хотя это и не рекомендуется, но можно отклчить проверку сертификата пира для запроса, установив verify_peer опцию контекста в FALSE, и можно отключить проверку имени пира, установив verify_peer_name в FALSE.

Certificate fingerprints

Support has been added for extracting and verifying certificate fingerprints. openssl_x509_fingerprint() has been added to extract a fingerprint from an X.509 certificate, and two SSL stream context options have been added: capture_peer_cert to capture the peer's X.509 certificate, and peer_fingerprint to assert that the peer's certificate should match the given fingerprint.

Default ciphers updated

The default ciphers used by PHP have been updated to a more secure list based on the » Mozilla cipher recommendations, with two additional exclusions: anonymous Diffie-Hellman ciphers, and RC4.

This list can be accessed via the new OPENSSL_DEFAULT_STREAM_CIPHERS constant, and can be overridden (as in previous PHP versions) by setting the ciphers context option.

Compression disabled by default

SSL/TLS compression has been disabled by default to mitigate the CRIME attack. PHP 5.4.13 added a disable_compression context option to allow compression to be disabled: this is now set to TRUE (that is, compression is disabled) by default.

Allow servers to prefer their cipher order

The honor_cipher_order SSL context option has been added to allow encrypted stream servers to mitigate BEAST vulnerabilities by preferring the server's ciphers to the client's.

Access the negotiated protocol and cipher

The protocol and cipher that were negotiated for an encrypted stream can now be accessed via stream_get_meta_data() or stream_context_get_options() when the capture_session_meta SSL context option is set to TRUE.


<?php
$ctx = stream_context_create(['ssl' => [
    'capture_session_meta' => TRUE
]]);
 
$html = file_get_contents('https://google.com/', FALSE, $ctx);
$meta = stream_context_get_options($ctx)['ssl']['session_meta'];
var_dump($meta);
?>

Результат выполнения данного примера:

array(4) {
  ["protocol"]=>
  string(5) "TLSv1"
  ["cipher_name"]=>
  string(20) "ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA"
  ["cipher_bits"]=>
  int(128)
  ["cipher_version"]=>
  string(11) "TLSv1/SSLv3"
}

New options for perfect forward secrecy in encrypted stream servers

Encrypted client streams already support perfect forward secrecy, as it is generally controlled by the server. PHP encrypted server streams using certificates capable of perfect forward secrecy do not need to take any additional action to enable PFS; however a number of new SSL context options have been added to allow more control over PFS and deal with any compatibility issues that may arise.

ecdh_curve

This option allows the selection of a specific curve for use with ECDH ciphers. If not specified, prime256v1 will be used.

dh_param

A path to a file containing parametrs for Diffie-Hellman key exchange, such as that created by the following command:

openssl dhparam -out /path/to/my/certs/dh-2048.pem 2048

single_dh_use

If set to TRUE, a new key pair will be created when using Diffie-Hellman parameters, thereby improving forward secrecy.

single_ecdh_use

If set to TRUE, a new key pair will always be generated when ECDH cipher suites are negotiated. This improves forward secrecy.

SSL/TLS version selection

It is now possible to select specific versions of SSL and TLS via the crypto_method SSL context option or by specifying a specific transport when creating a stream wrapper (for example, by calling stream_socket_client() or stream_socket_server()).

The crypto_method SSL context option accepts a bitmask enumerating the protocols that are permitted, as does the crypto_type of stream_socket_enable_crypto().

**Selected protocol versions and corresponding options**
Protocol(s)	Client flag	Server flag	Transport
Any TLS or SSL version	`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_ANY_CLIENT`	`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_ANY_SERVER`	ssl://
Any TLS version	`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT`	`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_SERVER`	tls://
TLS 1.0	`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLSv1_0_CLIENT`	`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLSv1_0_SERVER`	tlsv1.0://
TLS 1.1	`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLSv1_1_CLIENT`	`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLSv1_1_SERVER`	tlsv1.1://
TLS 1.2	`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLSv1_2_CLIENT`	`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLSv1_2_SERVER`	tlsv1.2://
SSL 3	`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv3_CLIENT`	`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv3_SERVER`	sslv3://

openssl_get_cert_locations() added

The openssl_get_cert_locations() function has been added: it returns the default locations PHP will search when looking for CA bundles.

var_dump(openssl_get_cert_locations());
?>
