4*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker## Overview
5*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
6*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerWebRTC uses DTLS in two ways:
7*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
8*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker*   to negotiate keys for SRTP encryption using
9*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker    [DTLS-SRTP](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc5763)
10*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker*   as a transport for SCTP which is used by the Datachannel API
11*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
12*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe W3C WebRTC API represents this as the
13*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker[DtlsTransport](https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-pc/#rtcdtlstransport-interface).
14*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
15*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe DTLS handshake happens after the ICE transport becomes writable and has
16*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerfound a valid pair. It results in a set of keys being derived for DTLS-SRTP as
17*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerwell as a fingerprint of the remote certificate which is compared to the one
18*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Workergiven in the SDP `a=fingerprint:` line.
19*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
20*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThis documentation provides an overview of how DTLS is implemented, i.e how the
21*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerfollowing classes interact.

23*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker## webrtc::DtlsTransport
24*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
25*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe [`webrtc::DtlsTransport`][1] class is a wrapper around the
26*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker`cricket::DtlsTransportInternal` and allows registering observers implementing
27*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerthe `webrtc::DtlsTransportObserverInterface`. The
28*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker[`webrtc::DtlsTransportObserverInterface`][2] will provide updates to the
29*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerobservers, passing around a snapshot of the transports state such as the
30*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerconnection state, the remote certificate(s) and the SRTP ciphers as
31*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker[`DtlsTransportInformation`][3].
32*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
33*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker## cricket::DtlsTransportInternal
34*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
35*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe [`cricket::DtlsTransportInternal`][4] class is an interface. Its
36*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerimplementation is [`cricket::DtlsTransport`][5]. The `cricket::DtlsTransport`
37*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Workersends and receives network packets via an ICE transport. It also demultiplexes
38*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerDTLS packets and SRTP packets according to the scheme described in
39*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker[RFC 5764](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5764#section-5.1.2).
40*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
41*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker## webrtc::DtlsSrtpTranport
42*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
43*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe [`webrtc::DtlsSrtpTransport`][6] class is responsіble for extracting the
44*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerSRTP keys after the DTLS handshake as well as protection and unprotection of
45*d9f75844SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerSRTP packets via its [`cricket::SrtpSession`][7].
