.SH "NOTES"
|
|
.IX Header "NOTES"
|
|
When using a cipher with \s-1RSA\s0 authentication, an ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange
|
|
can take place. In this case the session data are negotiated using the
|
|
ephemeral/temporary \s-1RSA\s0 key and the \s-1RSA\s0 key supplied and certified
|
|
by the certificate chain is only used for signing.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Under previous export restrictions, ciphers with \s-1RSA\s0 keys shorter (512 bits)
|
|
than the usual key length of 1024 bits were created. To use these ciphers
|
|
with \s-1RSA\s0 keys of usual length, an ephemeral key exchange must be performed,
|
|
as the normal (certified) key cannot be directly used.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Using ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange yields forward secrecy, as the connection
|
|
can only be decrypted, when the \s-1RSA\s0 key is known. By generating a temporary
|
|
\&\s-1RSA\s0 key inside the server application that is lost when the application
|
|
is left, it becomes impossible for an attacker to decrypt past sessions,
|
|
even if he gets hold of the normal (certified) \s-1RSA\s0 key, as this key was
|
|
used for signing only. The downside is that creating a \s-1RSA\s0 key is
|
|
computationally expensive.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Additionally, the use of ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange is only allowed in
|
|
the \s-1TLS\s0 standard, when the \s-1RSA\s0 key can be used for signing only, that is
|
|
for export ciphers. Using ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange for other purposes
|
|
violates the standard and can break interoperability with clients.
|
|
It is therefore strongly recommended to not use ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key
|
|
exchange and use \s-1EDH\s0 (Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman) key exchange instead
|
|
in order to achieve forward secrecy (see
|
|
SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback(3)).
|
|
.PP
|
|
On OpenSSL servers ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange is therefore disabled by default
|
|
and must be explicitly enabled using the \s-1SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA\s0 option of
|
|
SSL_CTX_set_options(3), violating the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0
|
|
standard. When ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange is required for export ciphers,
|
|
it will automatically be used without this option!
|
|
.PP
|
|
An application may either directly specify the key or can supply the key via
|
|
a callback function. The callback approach has the advantage, that the
|
|
callback may generate the key only in case it is actually needed. As the
|
|
generation of a \s-1RSA\s0 key is however costly, it will lead to a significant
|
|
delay in the handshake procedure. Another advantage of the callback function
|
|
is that it can supply keys of different size (e.g. for \s-1SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA\s0
|
|
usage) while the explicit setting of the key is only useful for key size of
|
|
512 bits to satisfy the export restricted ciphers and does give away key length
|
|
if a longer key would be allowed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBtmp_rsa_callback\fR is called with the \fBkeylength\fR needed and
|
|
the \fBis_export\fR information. The \fBis_export\fR flag is set, when the
|
|
ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange is performed with an export cipher.
|
|
.SH "EXAMPLES"

.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
|
|
Generate temporary \s-1RSA\s0 keys to prepare ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange. As the
|
|
generation of a \s-1RSA\s0 key costs a lot of computer time, they saved for later
|
|
reuse. For demonstration purposes, two keys for 512 bits and 1024 bits
|
|
respectively are generated.
