REMOTE LOGIN PROTOCOLS A client/server model can create a mechanism that allows a user to establish a session on the remote machine and then run its applications. This application is known as remote login. This can be done by a client/server application program for the desired service. Two remote login protocols are TELNET and SSH. TELNET Protocol TELNET (terminal network) is a TCP/IP standard for establishing a connection to a remote system. TELNET allows a user to log in to a remote machine across the Internet by first making a TCP connection and then pass the detail of the application from the user to the remote machine.. You do this to many Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Blumenthal, Uri - 0553 - MITLL I’m playing with RSA-PSS signatures, and stumbled upon a few problems. I tried the OpenSSL manual pages, but still coming short of complete understanding. :-) This is how I initialize the contexts (error handlers removed for brevity): ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(privkey, NULL); md_ctx = EVP_MD_CTX_create(); const EVP_MD *md = EVP_sha256(); rv = EVP_DigestInit_ex(md_ctx, md, NULL); rv = EVP_DigestSignInit(md_ctx, &ctx, md, NULL, privkey); First question: do I need EVP_DigestInit_ex() there? Second question: do I have to specify hash-function (EVP_MD*) twice? First when initializing EVP_MD_CTX, and second for EVP_DigestSignInit()? At the end I need to dispose of both ctx and md_ctx. That leads to my third question/problem. The code I tried (based on what the man page says: to avoid memory leak, I need to do EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(md_ctx) crashes with SIGV: EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(md_ctx); // this succeeds EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(ctx); // but here the code crashes Same happens when I reverse the above order: EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(ctx); // this succeeds EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(md_ctx); // but then this one causes crash So what’s the correct way of freeing both of them? Or is it that because they’re sort of “bound together” by EVP_DigestSignInit(md_ctx, &ctx, md, NULL, privkey); freeing one frees the other? Thanks! — Regards, Uri |
