Hi
I have one worrying question... I have generated my keys and ca and all
with easy-rsa package and he has generated 1024 bit rsa keys... but as far
as I have seen openvpn is using blowfish... blowfish in a symetric
encription cypher and rsa is an asymetrical one... shouldn't match keys
and cypher types?? or else... how this works? I mean it takes parts of the
whole 1024 size key in pieces or 128 bits (for blowfish) or how does this
work?
I guess you have no idea about SSL, blowfish would be used for the bulk
encryption (application data records) and rsa would be used for public key
encryption to securely exchange the pre master secret. I suggest you read
the TLS standard from ietf.
When you do a openvpn --show-cyphers you see all symetryc cipher systems
am I wrong?
Thanks a lot mates!! waiting anxious you're answers
