Hi,
Repost(from users list) with slight enhancements.
I thought, probably, it is a developer question.
I just recently joined the OpenSSL world
to implement EAP-TLS, rfc2716, using OpenSSL libraries.
I could not make any significant progress for the last one week
due to lack of documentation on ssl libraries and
request your help.
EAP Background:
EAP-server handles all the transformation of TLS-messages
(including handshaking messages).
EAP-Server provides plain text message to SSL library for
encryption, Similarly, it provides all the
cipher text message to SSL library for decryption.
To start with, lets say,
1. EAP-Server provides the complete
cipher text message with all the (TLS/SSL) records to SSL
library for
decryption.
2. It is the responsibility of ssl library to handle all the
handshaking,
encryption & decryption of a message and EAP-Server's
responsibility
to transfer all the messages to EAP-Client.
(Please let me know if this is not possible with the existing
ssl library)
Questions:
1. Is BIO interface suitable for the above scenario
and can it be used to handle both handshaking & data.
2. What are the different TLS/SSL APIs that can provide the following
functionality
A. Plain text message to TLS-message.
B. TLS-message to Plain text message.
C. TLS Handshaking APIs.
Please provide any sort of information in this regard.
