OQ-64 and OQ-55 were linked in a circular dependency: the client-side TLS config was deferred behind the dial seam (OQ-55), but the dial needs the TLS config. No second transport can dial until it has a TLS config; the TLS config was deferred until a second transport dials. Schrödinger's code — required and not required until observed. ADR-087 breaks the circle by separating two concerns that were conflated as 'the same seam': 1. TlsClientConfig — rustls::ClientConfig + ADR-034 verifier selection + ADR-084 crypto provider. Transport-agnostic. All decisions made. Buildable today. A PREREQUISITE for any dial, not a consequence of it. 2. The dial (AlknetClient::dial()) — transport-specific connection establishment. Extracting a transport-polymorphic dial from one shape (QUIC) would bake QUIC in. Legitimate deferral (OQ-55, unchanged). The hub makes this non-optional: a hub dials out to workers it supervises and to other hubs (hub-as-client). The first hub deployment (web + native) dials workers over QUIC with the worker's fingerprint pinned. There is no 'later' for the TLS config — it is on the critical path for the first hub and for alknet-worker. Changes: - ADR-087: TlsClientConfig in alknet-tls, not blocked on OQ-55 - OQ-64: resolved (yes, alknet-tls provides TlsClientConfig) - OQ-55: amended — only the dial seam is deferred; TLS client config is explicitly NOT part of the deferral - TLS README: 'Server-only (for now)' section replaced with TlsClientConfig section; crate is no longer server-only - Hub README: dial/supervision section references TlsClientConfig for outbound connections

alknet-tls
Shared TLS configuration and certificate management — server and
client. Builds a rustls::ServerConfig (or an ACME state machine +
cert resolver) once and shares it across multiple transports — quinn,
tokio-rustls (TCP+TLS), and iroh — so one certificate identity serves
QUIC and TCP endpoints simultaneously. Builds a rustls::ClientConfig
with ADR-034 verifier selection and ADR-084 crypto provider, shared
across all outbound-dialing crates (hub, worker, CallClient,
ChannelClient). One ACME state machine, one cert, N transports;
one verifier rule, N clients.
What
alknet-tls extracts the TLS setup that was welded to the quinn endpoint
in alknet-core. The existing code (endpoint.rs) builds a
rustls::ServerConfig from a TlsIdentity, then consumes it into a
quinn::ServerConfig — making it impossible to reuse the same cert for a
TCP+TLS listener. ACME is worse: the AcmeState task is spawned inside
the quinn endpoint, so a TCP+TLS listener would need its own ACME state
machine (two orders for the same domain, two cert caches, potential
Let's Encrypt rate-limiting).
alknet-tls fixes this by making the TLS config shareable:
pub struct TlsServerConfig {
config: rustls::ServerConfig, // Clone-safe — Arc internally
acme_handle: Option<JoinHandle<()>>, // one ACME task (see lifecycle below)
}
impl TlsServerConfig {
pub async fn new(identity: &TlsIdentity, alpns: &[Vec<u8>]) -> Result<Self, TlsError>;
/// Produce a quinn server config. Clones the inner rustls config
/// (cheap — Arc-shared cert resolver) and wraps it for quinn.
/// Feature-gated on `quinn`.
#[cfg(feature = "quinn")]
pub fn for_quinn(&self) -> Result<quinn::ServerConfig, TlsError>;
/// Produce a tokio-rustls acceptor for TCP+TLS. Clones the inner
/// rustls config. Feature-gated on `tcp`.
#[cfg(feature = "tcp")]
pub fn for_tcp_tls(&self) -> tokio_rustls::TlsAcceptor;
/// Borrow the underlying rustls config, for any other consumer.
pub fn rustls_config(&self) -> &rustls::ServerConfig;
}
TlsServerConfig is not Clone — it holds a JoinHandle for the
ACME task, which is not cloneable. Share it via Arc<TlsServerConfig>.
Each accessor (for_quinn, for_tcp_tls) clones the inner
rustls::ServerConfig, which is cheap (it holds Arcs to the cert
resolver and verifier, not the raw key material). The assembly layer
builds one TlsServerConfig, wraps it in Arc, and hands Arc::clone()
to each transport consumer. One cert, one ACME state machine, N
transports.
Why
alknet-core builds the rustls::ServerConfig once, then consumes it
into a quinn::ServerConfig — making the cert unreusable for a TCP+TLS
listener. For ACME the problem is worse: the AcmeState task is spawned
inside the quinn endpoint, so a TCP+TLS listener would need a second ACME
state machine for the same domain (duplicate orders, divergent cert
caches, Let's Encrypt rate-limit risk). The full rationale, including
the cert-reuse problem, the ACME worst case, and the three reasons a
separate crate is the right shape (dependency isolation, ACME weight,
quinn/iroh having their own TLS), is in
ADR-082.
The three endpoint types (ADR-086)
A hub composes a subset of three endpoint types, each with its own
identity model and transport(s). alknet-tls provides the
TlsServerConfigs; the assembly layer builds one per endpoint type
that uses a rustls::ServerConfig (iroh is the exception — it has its
own TLS).
| Endpoint type | Identity | TlsServerConfig |
Transport(s) | Browsers? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| native | RFC 7250 raw key (Ed25519) | raw-key config | QUIC (primary), TCP+TLS (fallback when UDP blocked) | No (browsers can't do raw keys) |
| web | X.509 (manual or ACME) | X.509/ACME config | TCP+TLS (HTTP, WebSocket), QUIC (WebTransport — deferred) | Yes (via HTTPS / WebSocket; WebTransport when revived) |
| iroh | RFC 7250 raw key (NodeId) | (no TlsServerConfig — iroh has its own TLS) |
iroh (relay-assisted QUIC) | No |
| Development | Self-signed | self-signed config | Any | No (untrusted) |
The ALPN list each TlsServerConfig advertises is split by endpoint
type (ADR-086 §3, resolving OQ-62): the native config advertises the
native ALPNs (alknet/channels, alknet/call, alknet/ssh future);
the web config advertises the entry-point ALPNs (h2, http/1.1) +
alknet/channels (for WebSocket-carrying-channels, OQ-65) +
acme-tls/1 (appended automatically). The assembly layer filters
registry.alpn_strings() per config. See
ADR-086 for
the full ALPN-list table and the entry-point/endpoint distinction.
In all cases, TLS + ALPNs "just works" — the TLS handshake negotiates the
ALPN, the HandlerRegistry dispatches by ALPN, the transport is a
parameter. The TLS crate's job is to make the cert available to whichever
transports the deployment runs.
Architecture
What moves from alknet-core to alknet-tls
| Component | Current location | New location |
|---|---|---|
TlsIdentity enum |
alknet-core/config.rs |
stays in core (it's a config type) |
Ed25519SecretKey |
alknet-core/config.rs |
stays in core (config type) |
build_rustls_server_config() |
alknet-core/endpoint.rs (#[cfg(feature = "quinn")]) |
alknet-tls (unconditional) |
build_quinn_server_config_from_rustls() |
alknet-core/endpoint.rs (#[cfg(feature = "quinn")]) |
alknet-tls (for_quinn() — wraps rustls config in QuicServerConfig) |
TlsSetup (ACME state machine) |
alknet-core/endpoint.rs (#[cfg(feature = "quinn")]) |
alknet-tls (the TlsServerConfig::new ACME path) |
RawKeyCertResolver |

alknet-tls |
load_cert_chain() / load_private_key() |
alknet-core/endpoint.rs |
alknet-tls |
fingerprint.rs |
alknet-core/fingerprint.rs |
stays in core (shared by server + client; client is in alknet-call; production code uses sha2 + manual DER only — rustls is test-only. See OQ-59.) |
TlsIdentity and Ed25519SecretKey stay in core because they're config
types — StaticConfig holds a TlsIdentity, and config types belong in
core. alknet-tls re-exports them for convenience. fingerprint.rs stays
in core because it's shared by both the server path (endpoint extracts
fingerprint from the client cert) and the client path (FingerprintPinVerifier
in alknet-call matches the server's cert against a pinned fingerprint).
The production code in fingerprint.rs uses only sha2 and manual DER
parsing — the rustls::sign usage is in the test helper only. See OQ-59
for the full trade-off.
TlsServerConfig
The central type. Built once from a TlsIdentity + ALPN list, shared
across transports.
pub struct TlsServerConfig {
/// The rustls server config. Clone-safe (holds Arcs to cert resolver
/// and verifier, not raw key material).
config: rustls::ServerConfig,
/// The ACME state machine task, if ACME is active. One task, shared
/// — dropping this handle does NOT stop the ACME state machine
/// (it's owned by the config, not the endpoint).
acme_handle: Option<tokio::task::JoinHandle<()>>,
}
Construction:
impl TlsServerConfig {
/// Build a TLS server config from the given identity and ALPN list.
/// For ACME, spawns the ACME state machine task and wires its
/// resolver into the rustls config. For X509/RawKey/SelfSigned,
/// loads the cert and builds the resolver directly.
pub async fn new(
identity: &TlsIdentity,
alpns: &[Vec<u8>],
) -> Result<Self, TlsError>;
}
The ALPN list is the set of ALPNs the endpoint type advertises. For a
native config: alknet/channels, alknet/call, alknet/ssh (future).
For a web config: h2, http/1.1, alknet/channels (for
WebSocket-carrying-channels, OQ-65). The list is split by endpoint
type (ADR-086 §3) — the assembly layer filters
registry.alpn_strings() per TlsServerConfig, not passes the same
list to both. For ACME, the acme-tls/1 ALPN is appended
automatically (for the TLS-ALPN-01 challenge, ADR-027 §7).
async fn new — lifecycle semantics
new is async because the ACME path spawns a state-machine task
(tokio::spawn) before returning — the spawn itself is await-free, but
the function is async so the non-ACME paths share one signature.
ACME path: new spawns the AcmeState task, wires its resolver()
into the rustls::ServerConfig, and returns immediately — it does
not await the first certificate. The returned TlsServerConfig is
usable for for_quinn() / for_tcp_tls() right away; the resolver may
return no cert until the first ACME order completes, causing TLS
handshakes to fail transiently during that window. This matches the
current code's behavior (TlsSetup::new_acme spawns and returns).
Non-ACME paths (X509 / RawKey / SelfSigned): cert loading is
synchronous file I/O (std::fs::read) + in-memory construction; there
is no await point in the implementation. The async signature is for
API uniformity with the ACME path, not because the work is async. An
implementer who finds this objectionable may split a non-async
constructor — that is a two-way-door implementation detail, not an
architecture decision.
Behavior-preservation invariants
The extraction must preserve these load-bearing TLS behaviors. They
originate from ADR-027,
which established the TlsIdentity model, the Acme variant, and the
acme-tls/1 ALPN challenge handling. An implementer who omits any of
these produces a crate that compiles and passes type-checks but silently
changes TLS behavior:
max_early_data_size = u32::MAXon all server config paths (X509, RawKey, SelfSigned, ACME). Enables 0-RTT / early data. Omitting it disables 0-RTT, silently breaking clients that use it.rustls::crypto::aws_lc_rs::default_provider()as the crypto provider on all paths. Do not switch toringor the process-default provider without a new ADR — see ADR-084 for the rationale (FIPS, platform matrix, iroh consistency).AcceptAnyCertVerifier'ssupported_verify_schemes()returns ED25519 + ECDSA P-256/P-384 + RSA PSS/PKCS1 (SHA256/384/512). This list determines which client cert signature algorithms the server accepts. Must be preserved verbatim.acme-tls/1ALPN append for the ACME path only (ADR-027 §7). The TLS-ALPN-01 challenge requires the server to advertiseacme-tls/1in its ALPN list. Appended inTlsServerConfig::new's ACME branch, not by the caller.
Transport-specific accessors:
impl TlsServerConfig {
/// Produce a `quinn::ServerConfig` for a QUIC listener. Clones the
/// rustls config (cheap — Arc-shared cert resolver), wraps it in
/// `QuicServerConfig`. Returns `Result` because
/// `QuicServerConfig::try_from(rustls::ServerConfig)` can fail if
/// the rustls config contains quinn-incompatible settings.
/// Feature-gated on `quinn`.
#[cfg(feature = "quinn")]
pub fn for_quinn(&self) -> Result<quinn::ServerConfig, TlsError>;
/// Produce a `tokio_rustls::TlsAcceptor` for a TCP+TLS listener.
/// Clones the rustls config. Infallible —
/// `TlsAcceptor::new(rustls::ServerConfig)` cannot fail.
/// Feature-gated on `tcp` (pulls `tokio-rustls`).
#[cfg(feature = "tcp")]
pub fn for_tcp_tls(&self) -> tokio_rustls::TlsAcceptor;
/// Borrow the underlying rustls config, for consumers that need to
/// build their own transport-specific wrapper (e.g. iroh, which
/// has its own TLS built in but shares the Ed25519 key).
pub fn rustls_config(&self) -> &rustls::ServerConfig;
}
Iroh: shares the key, not the rustls config
Iroh is different from quinn and TCP+TLS: it has its own TLS built into
the Endpoint, using RFC 7250 raw keys. It does not consume a
rustls::ServerConfig — it takes an iroh::SecretKey and handles TLS
internally. So alknet-tls does not have a for_iroh() method. Instead,
the assembly layer reads the Ed25519SecretKey from StaticConfig
(stays in core) and passes it to iroh's Endpoint::builder().secret_key()
directly. alknet-tls is involved only when iroh is not the sole
transport — in that case, the same Ed25519SecretKey feeds both
TlsServerConfig::new(TlsIdentity::RawKey(key), ...) (for quinn/TCP) and
iroh::SecretKey::from_bytes(key.as_bytes()) (for iroh).
The fingerprint is normalized across all three paths (ADR-030 §6):
ed25519:<hex> for raw keys, whether the cert came from quinn's
RawKeyCertResolver, iroh's built-in TLS, or a future TCP+TLS raw-key
path. fingerprint.rs (in core) handles this.
Feature gates

quinn = ["dep:quinn"] # for_quinn() — wraps rustls config for quinn
tcp = ["dep:tokio-rustls"] # for_tcp_tls() — wraps rustls config for TCP+TLS
acme = ["dep:rustls-acme"] # ACME state machine
A deployment that only uses quinn enables quinn. A deployment that
uses TCP+TLS enables tcp. A deployment that uses both enables both.
ACME is opt-in (heavy dep, long-running task). The rustls dep is always
present (it's the core TLS library).

alknet-core loses rustls-pemfile, rcgen, and rustls-acme from
its dependencies — the cert-loading, self-signed generation, and ACME
machinery move to alknet-tls. Core keeps quinn and iroh (the
endpoint struct and accept loops remain in core), ed25519-dalek
(Ed25519SecretKey stays in config.rs), and rustls /
rustls-pki-types (fingerprint.rs uses rustls::pki_types in
production and rustls::sign in the test helper build_ed25519_spki_der
— see OQ-59).
Terminology — hub, worker, hub-worker. A hub is a node that accepts inbound connections from workers and browsers (the central node in a hub-and-spoke topology — see
crates/hub/README.md). A worker is a node that dials out to a hub. A hub-worker is a node that does both (accepts inbound and dials out). A pure worker has no inbound endpoints. These terms come from the hub topology (ADR-029, ADR-034); "assembly layer" (ADR-014) is the deployment binary that wires crates — in practice, today, usually a hub or hub-worker.
What AlknetEndpoint does after the refactor
AlknetEndpoint::new() currently builds TlsSetup internally. After
the refactor (see ADR-083),
the endpoint takes no TLS config at all — it is a multi-transport
accept-loop runner. TCP+TLS is an owned transport (via with_tcp_tls),
not an external loop:
impl AlknetEndpoint {
pub fn new(
handlers: HandlerRegistry,
dynamic: Arc<ArcSwap<DynamicConfig>>,
identity_provider: Arc<dyn IdentityProvider>,
drain_timeout: Duration,
) -> Self;
pub fn with_quinn(mut self, endpoint: quinn::Endpoint) -> Self;
pub fn with_iroh(mut self, endpoint: iroh::Endpoint) -> Self;
/// TCP+TLS is a first-class owned transport — same `run()` loop,
/// same `shutdown()` as quinn/iroh. Feature-gated on `tcp`.
#[cfg(feature = "tcp")]
pub fn with_tcp_tls(
mut self,
listener: tokio::net::TcpListener,
acceptor: tokio_rustls::TlsAcceptor,
) -> Self;
/// Public for SSH channels / future WT (connection-internal
/// multiplexing, not listener transports).
pub fn dispatch(
&self,
connection: Connection,
alpn: Vec<u8>,
fingerprint: Option<String>,
remote_addr: Option<SocketAddr>,
);
pub async fn run(self: Arc<Self>);
pub async fn shutdown(&self) -> Result<(), EndpointError>;
}
The assembly layer builds the TlsServerConfig(s), builds the
transports (for_quinn() → quinn::Endpoint::server(),
for_tcp_tls() → TlsAcceptor paired with a TcpListener,
Ed25519SecretKey → iroh), and hands them to AlknetEndpoint via
builder methods. A hub serving native clients and browsers holds two
TlsServerConfigs (raw key + X.509/ACME); the endpoint takes neither —
it takes the already-built transport endpoints. The TCP+TLS listener
is owned by the endpoint via with_tcp_tls; the endpoint runs its
accept loop inside run() and stops it on shutdown(). The ACME
handle lives on the TlsServerConfig, not the endpoint.
This resolves the single-Arc<TlsServerConfig> problem: the endpoint
has no "the TLS config" to take because a hub has two. It also means
shutdown is single-owner — the endpoint owns all its accept loops
(quinn, iroh, TCP+TLS); one shutdown() stops them all.
The TCP+TLS accept loop (out of scope for this crate)
alknet-tls provides for_tcp_tls() -> TlsAcceptor. The actual TCP
accept loop (TcpListener::accept → TlsAcceptor::accept →
Connection::from_bidi → endpoint.dispatch()) lives in alknet-core
behind a tcp feature, as an owned transport on AlknetEndpoint (via
with_tcp_tls(listener, acceptor) — see ADR-083). alknet-tls is the
cert provider, not the accept loop. This keeps alknet-tls focused on
TLS setup and cert sharing, not transport accept logic.
Client-side — TlsClientConfig (ADR-087)
alknet-tls provides a client-side config alongside TlsServerConfig.
A hub dials out to workers it supervises and to other hubs
(hub-as-client); alknet-worker dials a hub. Both need a
rustls::ClientConfig with ADR-034's verifier selection and ADR-084's
crypto provider. TlsClientConfig centralizes this — it is not a
future extraction deferred behind the dial seam (OQ-55); it is a
present prerequisite for the first hub deployment.
pub struct TlsClientConfig {
config: rustls::ClientConfig,
}
impl TlsClientConfig {
/// Build a client TLS config for the given remote identity context.
/// Applies ADR-034 verifier selection:
/// - known peer (PeerEntry present) + raw key → fingerprint pin
/// - known peer (PeerEntry present) + X.509 → fingerprint pin
/// - unknown remote + X.509 → CA verification (WebPkiServerVerifier)
/// - unknown remote + raw key → fail closed
/// Applies ADR-084 crypto provider (aws_lc_rs::default_provider()).
pub fn new(verifier_context: ClientVerifierContext) -> Result<Self, TlsError>;
}
The ClientVerifierContext carries the inputs to ADR-034's verifier
selection (whether a PeerEntry exists for the remote, the expected
fingerprint, the remote cert type). The exact struct shape is an
implementation detail; the decisions are in ADR-034. The full
TlsError variant granularity (now covering both server and client
errors) is OQ-63 (next session).
TlsClientConfig produces a rustls::ClientConfig; the caller (the
transport-specific dial helper — CallClient::connect_quic, a future
connect_tcp_tls, etc.) passes it to the transport's connector. The
config is transport-agnostic; the dial is not. This is the client-side
analogue of ADR-065's server-side separation: the take-over
(spawn_dispatch / from_connection, transport-agnostic) is built
now; the dial (transport-specific) is per-transport. The
transport-polymorphic dial extraction (AlknetClient::dial()) remains
deferred (OQ-55) — it is about picking the transport and calling the
right connector, not about the TLS config.
Iroh — shares the key, not the config (client side too)
Iroh's client side, like its server side (above), does not consume a
rustls::ClientConfig — it takes an iroh::SecretKey and handles TLS
internally. The iroh client dial does not use TlsClientConfig. The
verifier selection for iroh is fingerprint-pinning by another name:
iroh's built-in TLS verifies the remote's NodeId (Ed25519 public key)
against the expected NodeId. An unknown iroh remote fails closed
(ADR-034 §3, Assumption 1 — no CA to fall back to). The iroh dial
helper applies the same ADR-034 rule via iroh's own API; the
consistency is in the rule, not in the type.

Open Questions
See open-questions.md for full details.
- OQ-59 (resolved):
fingerprint.rsstays inalknet-core. The client-sideFingerprintPinVerifier(inalknet-call) uses fingerprint functions and must not depend onalknet-tls(which would pull TLS setup infra into client-only deployments). Therustlsdep in core is narrow — production fingerprint code uses onlysha2+ manual DER; therustls::signusage is a test helper.alknet-tlsre-exports the fingerprint functions for convenience. - OQ-60 (resolved): Where does transport construction live? The
TCP+TLS accept loop lives in
alknet-corebehind atcpfeature as an owned endpoint transport (with_tcp_tls). Builder functions are inlined by the assembly layer. See ADR-083. - OQ-61 (dissolved): Multi-owner shutdown coordination. The
problem does not arise — the endpoint owns all its accept loops
(quinn, iroh, TCP+TLS);
shutdown()stops them all. See ADR-083. - OQ-62 (resolved): Does a hub pass the same ALPN list to both
TlsServerConfigs? Split list, by endpoint type (ADR-086 §3). Each config advertises only the ALPNs its endpoint type's client class can negotiate — native ALPNs on the raw-key config, entry-point ALPNs +alknet/channelson the X.509/ACME config, native ALPNs on the iroh builder. The assembly layer filtersregistry.alpn_strings()per config. - OQ-63 (open):
TlsErrorshape — the error type is referenced in public signatures but not sketched. Needs a variant-granularity decision (single enum vs thin wrapper) before implementation. - OQ-64 (resolved):
alknet-tlsprovidesTlsClientConfig(ADR-087). Not blocked on the dial-seam extraction (OQ-55) — the TLS config is a prerequisite for the dial, not a consequence of it. Centralizes ADR-034 verifier selection + ADR-084 provider; the hub-as-client requirement makes it a prerequisite for the first hub deployment. The dial seam (OQ-55) remains deferred; the TLS config does not.
