ECDH Support for Release 2

Open bryan-hunt opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Release 2 does not have ECDH support yet so this is a work item:

  • Mirror the work done for ECDSA, PKEY, and Certificates use the public API to properly set up the ECDH selector function
  • Use the ECDH configuration if not statically defined
  • Roll keys properly
  • Determine if it is possible or feasible for ECDHE to perform key generation after the session has ended

Turns out ECDH is so horribly broken in OpenSSL 1.0.2 (turns out it even ignores the cipher suite selection and always uses ephemeral keys anyways) that there is no realistic way to add the feature into that version of the build. This feature will wait for the OpenSSL 1.1 updates where it can be properly incorporated (since OpenSSL 1.1 refactored the core to use the EVP_PKEY system for all key operations)
