C#
// Create an instance of Rebex TlsStream to secure the connection with TLS.
// TlsStream expects a connected socket as constructor argument and becomes the owner of the socket.
using (var tlsStream = new TlsStream(socket))
{
// Only allow TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2.
tlsStream.Parameters.Version = TlsVersion.TLS12 | TlsVersion.TLS13;
// Our instance is the 'client' side of the connection, so call the AuthenticateAsClientAsync method and
// add the host name as the argument to the method.
// Host name is needed for TLS SNI (Server Name Indication) extension and for server certificate validation.
Write("Negotiation TLS session... ");
await tlsStream.AuthenticateAsClientAsync(url.Host);
// Connection is now secured with TLS
WriteLine("OK");
WriteLine($"Cipher: {tlsStream.Cipher}");
// Do the rest here
