Node Reference for createSecurePair

function createSecurePair

Usage in Deno

import { createSecurePair } from "node:tls";



createSecurePair(context?: SecureContext,
isServer?: boolean,
requestCert?: boolean,
rejectUnauthorized?: boolean,
): SecurePair

Deprecated

Since v0.11.3 - Use TLSSocket instead.

Creates a new secure pair object with two streams, one of which reads and writes the encrypted data and the other of which reads and writes the cleartext data. Generally, the encrypted stream is piped to/from an incoming encrypted data stream and the cleartext one is used as a replacement for the initial encrypted stream.

tls.createSecurePair() returns a tls.SecurePair object with cleartext andencrypted stream properties.

Using cleartext has the same API as TLSSocket.

The tls.createSecurePair() method is now deprecated in favor oftls.TLSSocket(). For example, the code:

pair = tls.createSecurePair(// ... );
pair.encrypted.pipe(socket);
socket.pipe(pair.encrypted);

can be replaced by:

secureSocket = tls.TLSSocket(socket, options);

where secureSocket has the same API as pair.cleartext.
