DTLS over UDP on Server and Client Components

Configuration 

The configuration is very similar to other components. There is a new property called DTLSOptions where you can configure the DTLS options like file certificate, private key, certificate verification... To enabled DTLS just set the DTLS property to True before the server starts or before send a message from a client to server.

The certificate must be in PEM format, so if the certificate has a different format, first convert to PEM.

DTLS requires openSSL 1.1+ so the default Indy version that comes with  Rad Studio currently doesn't support it. Only sgcWebSockets Enterprise version supports DTLS (because this version comes with a custom indy version that supports openSSL 1.1 and 3.0).

Server 

  // ... server
  server := TsgcUDPServer.Create(nil);
  server.Port := StrToInt(txtDefaultPort.Text);
  server.Bindings.Clear;
  With server.Bindings.Add do
  begin
    IP := '127.0.0.1';
    Port := 5430;
  end;
  // ... dtls
  server.DTLS := True;
  server.DTLSOptions.CertFile := 'certificate.pem';
  server.DTLSOptions.KeyFile := 'privatekey.pem';
  // ... active
  server.Active := True; 

Client 

    // ... client
    client.Host := '127.0.0.1';
    client.Port := 5430;

    client.DTLS := True;
    client.DTLSOptions.CertFile := 'certificate.pem';
    client.DTLSOptions.KeyFile := 'privatekey.pem';

    client.WriteData('Hello from sgcWebSockets!!!');
