SSL_KEY_UPDATE(3)		    OpenSSL		     SSL_KEY_UPDATE(3)

NAME
       SSL_key_update, SSL_get_key_update_type,	SSL_renegotiate,
       SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated, SSL_renegotiate_pending - initiate and
       obtain information about	updating connection keys

SYNOPSIS
	#include <openssl/ssl.h>

	int SSL_key_update(SSL *s, int updatetype);
	int SSL_get_key_update_type(const SSL *s);

	int SSL_renegotiate(SSL	*s);
	int SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated(SSL *s);
	int SSL_renegotiate_pending(const SSL *s);

DESCRIPTION
       SSL_key_update()	schedules an update of the keys	for the	current	TLS
       connection.  If the updatetype parameter	is set to
       SSL_KEY_UPDATE_NOT_REQUESTED then the sending keys for this connection
       will be updated and the peer will be informed of	the change. If the
       updatetype parameter is set to SSL_KEY_UPDATE_REQUESTED then the
       sending keys for	this connection	will be	updated	and the	peer will be
       informed	of the change along with a request for the peer	to
       additionally update its sending keys. It	is an error if updatetype is
       set to SSL_KEY_UPDATE_NONE.

       SSL_key_update()	must only be called after the initial handshake	has
       been completed and TLSv1.3 has been negotiated. The key update will not
       take place until	the next time an IO operation such as SSL_read_ex() or
       SSL_write_ex() takes place on the connection. Alternatively
       SSL_do_handshake() can be called	to force the update to take place
       immediately.

       SSL_get_key_update_type() can be	used to	determine whether a key	update
       operation has been scheduled but	not yet	performed. The type of the
       pending key update operation will be returned if	there is one, or
       SSL_KEY_UPDATE_NONE otherwise.

       SSL_renegotiate() and SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated() should only be
       called for connections that have	negotiated TLSv1.2 or less. Calling
       them on any other connection will result	in an error.

       When called from	the client side, SSL_renegotiate() schedules a
       completely new handshake	over an	existing SSL/TLS connection. The next
       time an IO operation such as SSL_read_ex() or SSL_write_ex() takes
       place on	the connection a check will be performed to confirm that it is
       a suitable time to start	a renegotiation. If so,	then it	will be
       initiated immediately. OpenSSL will not attempt to resume any session
       associated with the connection in the new handshake.

       When called from	the client side, SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated() works
       in the same was as SSL_renegotiate() except that	OpenSSL	will attempt
       to resume the session associated	with the current connection in the new
       handshake.

       When called from	the server side, SSL_renegotiate() and
       SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated() behave identically. They both schedule a
       request for a new handshake to be sent to the client. The next time an
       IO operation is performed then the same checks as on the	client side
       are performed and then, if appropriate, the request is sent. The	client
       may or may not respond with a new handshake and it may or may not
       attempt to resume an existing session. If a new handshake is started
       then this will be handled transparently by calling any OpenSSL IO
       function.

       If an OpenSSL client receives a renegotiation request from a server
       then again this will be handled transparently through calling any
       OpenSSL IO function. For	a TLS connection the client will attempt to
       resume the current session in the new handshake.	For historical
       reasons,	DTLS clients will not attempt to resume	the session in the new
       handshake.

       The SSL_renegotiate_pending() function returns 1	if a renegotiation or
       renegotiation request has been scheduled	but not	yet acted on, or 0
       otherwise.

RETURN VALUES
       SSL_key_update(), SSL_renegotiate() and SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated()
       return 1	on success or 0	on error.

       SSL_get_key_update_type() returns the update type of the	pending	key
       update operation	or SSL_KEY_UPDATE_NONE if there	is none.

       SSL_renegotiate_pending() returns 1 if a	renegotiation or renegotiation
       request has been	scheduled but not yet acted on,	or 0 otherwise.
