As outlined in issue #961 on the nim-libp2p repository, at the time of writing this pull request, mbedTLS does not yet export the necessary APIs required for the QUIC protocol. Similarly, BearSSL has not implemented support for TLS 1.3. To overcome this limitation and unblock the implementation of QUIC support for nim-libp2p, I decided to wrap one of the TLS backends supported by ngtcp2: picotls.
Currently, ngtcp2 supports the following TLS backends:
After reviewing the available options, the most promising choices appeared to be picotls or quictls. Both seem to provide lightweight and efficient TLS stacks specifically designed for QUIC. I ended up choosing picotls but ultimately, it is during the integration of this library with nim-quic that the final decision might change depending on issues that might be encountered.
