About:
GuileGnutls provides Scheme bindings for the GnuTLS library, enabling Guile programs to establish secure, encrypted connections. It allows developers to implement TLS/SSL protocols directly within Guile scripts, handling authentication and data protection. This package is essential for building networked applications that require robust security features.
Key Features:
  • Full access to GnuTLS functionality from Guile
  • Support for TLS/SSL handshake and encryption
  • Certificate and key management utilities
  • Integration with Guile's networking primitives
Use Cases:
  • Implementing secure HTTPS clients in Guile
  • Building encrypted communication servers
  • Creating secure scripting tools for network operations
Alternatives:
  • guile-openssl – Provides bindings to OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS; choice often depends on the underlying system's SSL library preference.
