DelphiMVCFramework provides enterprise-grade security features including full TLS 1.3 support. The framework automatically negotiates the highest available TLS version and provides:
- Perfect Forward Secrecy with modern cipher suites
- Certificate validation and custom certificate handling
- SNI (Server Name Indication) support for multiple SSL certificates
- HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) headers
- Secure cookie handling with SameSite attributes
- CSRF protection mechanisms
TLS 1.3 brings significant security and performance improvements, including faster handshakes and stronger encryption algorithms. DelphiMVCFramework leverages these improvements automatically when deployed in compatible environments.
Here's how a simple DMVCFramework controller looks like:
// 1. Create a controller
[MVCPath('/api/hello')]
TMyController = class(TMVCController)
public
[MVCPath('/world')]
[MVCHTTPMethod([httpGET])]
function HelloWorld: TMyObject;
end;
// 2. Implement the action
function TMyController.HelloWorld: TMyObject;
begin
Result := TMyObject.Create('Hello World!');
end;
// 3. Register and start server elsewhere
FMVC := TMVCEngine.Create(Self);
FMVC.AddController(TMyController);The comprehensive "DelphiMVCFramework - The Official Guide" is available in multiple languages:
