### Client-side SSL/TLS Authentication in C++

Source: https://grpc.io/docs/guides/auth

This snippet demonstrates how to create a channel with SSL/TLS credentials for server authentication and data encryption. It's suitable for basic client-side SSL/TLS setup.

```c++
// Create a default SSL ChannelCredentials object.
auto channel_creds = grpc::SslCredentials(grpc::SslCredentialsOptions());
// Create a channel using the credentials created in the previous step.
auto channel = grpc::CreateChannel(server_name, channel_creds);
// Create a stub on the channel.
std::unique_ptr<Greeter::Stub> stub(Greeter::NewStub(channel));
// Make actual RPC calls on the stub.
grpc::Status s = stub->sayHello(&context, *request, response);

```

Source: https://grpc.io/docs/guides/auth

Demonstrates how to authenticate a single RPC call using Google service account credentials, while the channel itself might not be pre-authenticated. This is useful for making specific calls with elevated or different permissions.

```dart
// Uses publicly trusted roots by default.
final channel = new ClientChannel('greeter.googleapis.com');
final client = new GreeterClient(channel);
...
final serviceAccountJson = 
     new File('service-account.json').readAsStringSync();
final credentials = new JwtServiceAccountAuthenticator(serviceAccountJson);
final response = 
    await client.sayHello(request, options: credentials.toCallOptions);
```

--------------------------------

### Dart gRPC Client - Server Authentication with SSL/TLS

Source: https://grpc.io/docs/guides/auth

```dart
// Load a custom roots file.
final trustedRoot = new File('roots.pem').readAsBytesSync();
final channelCredentials = 
    new ChannelCredentials.secure(certificates: trustedRoot);
final channelOptions = new ChannelOptions(credentials: channelCredentials);
final channel = new ClientChannel('myservice.example.com',
    options: channelOptions);
final client = new GreeterClient(channel);
```

```dart
// Uses publicly trusted roots by default.
final channel = new ClientChannel('greeter.googleapis.com');
final serviceAccountJson = 
     new File('service-account.json').readAsStringSync();
final credentials = new JwtServiceAccountAuthenticator(serviceAccountJson);
final client = 
    new GreeterClient(channel, options: credentials.toCallOptions);
```

--------------------------------

### Configure Client Health Checking

Source: https://grpc.io/docs/guides/health-checking

Use this JSON configuration within the channel's service config to enable health checking for a specific service. The 'serviceName' should match the service you want to monitor.

    "serviceName": "foo"
  }
}

```

--------------------------------

### gRPC Retry Policy Configuration

Source: https://grpc.io/docs/guides/retry

"hedgingPolicy": {
  "maxAttempts": INTEGER,
  "hedgingDelay": JSON proto3 Duration type,
  "nonFatalStatusCodes": JSON array of grpc status codes (int or string)
}

```

--------------------------------

### Dart gRPC Client - Insecure Channel

Source: https://grpc.io/docs/guides/auth

          credentials: const ChannelCredentials.insecure()));
final stub = new GreeterClient(channel);
```

--------------------------------
