Hi,
Fixed Diffie-Hellman embeds the server's public parameter in the certificate, and the CA then signs the certificate. That is, the certificate contains the Diffie-Hellman public-key parameters, and those parameters never change. Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman uses temporary, public keys. Each instance or run of the protocol uses a different public key. 183. @paramin context Pointer to the Diffie-Hellman context 184. @paramout output Buffer where to store the shared secret 185. @paramin outputSize Size of the buffer in bytes. May 30, 2015 Now we are going to describe two public-key algorithms based on that: ECDH (Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman), which is used for encryption, and ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm), used for digital signing. Encryption with ECDH. DH parameters define the playground in which you'll be able to generate keys and perform a key exchange. (You need to make sure both parties are using the same parameters.) One way to load them is to use mbedtlsdhmparsedhm if you got your parameters encoded as a DER or PEM string (this is the format you'll get using openssl dhparam for. Our doors are always open. Mbed TLS is fully open-source. There are no hidden features, privileged applications or non-public management tools. Everything we have, we make open source and is accessible from our site.
I'm trying to generate and exchange keys using the functions in the dhm.c file. The code is compiled using EWARM for an STM32F407.
I'm not setting up the parameters correctly as my function calls are returning immediately with errors.
Can someone please point me to an example that uses these functions or list the steps I need to make in order to generate my private and shared secret keys?
Thank you
I think the point is that you need to load Diffie-Hellman parameters before you can generate a DH key. DH parameters define the playground in which you'll be able to generate keys and perform a key exchange. (You need to make sure both parties are using the same parameters.)
One way to load them is to use
mbedtls_dhm_parse_dhm()
if you got your parameters encoded as a DER or PEM string (this is the format you'll get using openssl dhparam
for example). Another way is to directly set them in the context using mpi_read()
just as we do in mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_params()
. For that you can use standard parameters provided in dhm.h, such as MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P
and the corresponding G
.Hope this helps!
Thank you for your quick response. After more searching, I found that I should be using the functions in ecdh.c rather than dhm.c
Note that there is still a similar thing here: before you can generate a key or do a key exchange, you need to pick an elliptic curve and set it with
mbedtls_ecp_group_load( &ecdh_ctx.grp, MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_xxx );
.Thanks Manuel for the tip.
I'm still have issues though. The shared secret key I am generating doesn't match the server's key. This is my code, can you tell me if I'm missing something?
Sorry, &ctx.z should be &z in there, but either way it makes no difference.
Sorry, I think you need to tell me more about how your code is used, here I see only one side and I don't see how the pubic keys of both parties are exchanged: can you be more explicit on that? Anong racing cams.
Hi Manuel,
The exchange as best as can explain it:
- 1) The server creates a public and secret key.
- 2) I receive the server's public key into tcpbuffer.
- 3) I create a public and secret key using - mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public().
- 4) I store my public key to send to the server later.
- 5) I combine the server's public key and my secret using - mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared() - to generate our shared secret key.
- 6) I send my public key to the sever.
- 7) For debugging purposes, I check my shared secret against the server's shared secret. It does not match when I believe it should.
- 8) I SHA512 my shared secret.
- 9) I copy over bytes 16 to 23 of the result to get my session key for use with future decryptions.
- 10) Obviously, the session key I create does not match the sever's session key either.
I hope that's all clear, thank you for your time helping me with this.
Hi Manuel,
Is there any update you can give me on my problem, it's becoming critical now.
Thanks
I just wrote an example program that I hope will help you: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/blob/3eb8c34e6a761b3f1f5fce01e31c70b1560e70b5/programs/pkey/ecdh_curve25519.c
PS: worry for not getting back to you earlier, and thanks for pinging us.
Thanks Manuel! I'll check out the example.
