And you are using TLS, right? For AECDH* (or any ECC suite), don't you have to tell OpenSSL what curve to use? I haven't implemented that bit myself in any applications, but my understanding is that with OpenSSL 1.0.2 you can just call SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1). With 1.0.1 you have to specify a particular named curve with SSL_CTX_set_tmp_ecdh. -- Michael Wojcik Technology Specialist, Micro Focus
