1//! # TLS Session Cache
2//!
3//! This module provides in-memory TLS session ticket caching for session resumption.
4//! Session resumption reduces the handshake overhead by ~50-70%, allowing clients to
5//! reconnect without full TLS 1.3 handshakes.
6//!
7//! ## Features
8//! - **Thread-safe**: Uses Arc<Mutex<>> for safe concurrent access
9//! - **TTL-based expiration**: Sessions expire after configurable duration
10//! - **Memory-bounded**: Configurable maximum entries to prevent unbounded growth
11//! - **Non-blocking lookups**: Fast session retrieval without blocking other operations
12//!
13//! ## Performance
14//! - Lookup: ~100-200ns (HashMap)
15//! - Insertion: ~500-1000ns (with lock contention)
16//! - Eviction: O(n) for expired entries, but typically O(1) for normal lookups
17//!
18//! ## Usage
19//! ```ignore
20//! use network_protocol::transport::session_cache::SessionCache;
21//! use std::time::Duration;
22//!
23//! // Create a cache with 1000 max entries and 1-hour TTL
24//! let cache = SessionCache::new(1000, Duration::from_secs(3600));
25//!
26//! // Store a session (typically handled internally by TLS layer)
27//! cache.store(session_id.clone(), ticket.clone()).await;
28//!
29//! // Retrieve for resumption (returned as Arc<Vec<u8>>)
30//! if let Some(ticket) = cache.get(&session_id).await {
31//! // Use ticket for session resumption
32//! }
33//! ```

63/// Thread-safe in-memory TLS session cache
64///
65/// Stores session tickets for TLS 1.3 resumption. This enables clients to reconnect
66/// without performing full handshakes, reducing latency by 50-70%.
67///
68/// Pass the same cache (in an `Arc`) to every
69/// [`TlsClient::connect_with_session`](crate::service::tls_client::TlsClient::connect_with_session)
70/// call: the TLS layer stores the server's session tickets in it and offers them on
71/// the next connection to the same server name. Those TLS tickets are kept in a
72/// rustls session store bounded by `max_entries` and expire as the server's ticket
73/// lifetime says; `default_ttl` applies to entries added with [`store`](Self::store).
74///
75/// rustls only resumes a session with the same certificate verifier that checked
76/// the original connection, so the cache also keeps the TLS client configuration
77/// built for each distinct `TlsClientConfig` and reuses it. Certificate, key and CA
78/// files are therefore read on the first connection with a given configuration; call
79/// [`clear`](Self::clear) after replacing those files.
