TLS Heartbeat

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

 

I’m trying to develop a server (Java – Netty NIO Library + OpenSSL) / client (C + OpenSSL) applications.

 

A. I started off writing my server using Netty+OpenSSL and used some python scripts available in web (https://gist.github.com/takeshixx/10107280) to test whether TLS Heartbeat with OpenSSL is fine. Strangely I found that OpenSSL responds to heartbeat only if the length of TLSPlainText.length is greater than 4096. This I have observed from testing, yet to see the OpenSSL code which imposes this limitation.

 

B. Then I started to write my client that uses SSL_heartbeat macro – but I didn’t find any way to mention how much payload/padding to be used in the heartbeat message.

 

I need clarity on

 

1.       Whether the limitation observed in (A) above is correct? If so, is there any way to change it.

2.       How to provide inputs like payload/padding to be used to work-around the limitation (A) ?

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

With regards,

R Kaja Mohideen
