I saw a thread about this before, but I had a follow up question.
I'm wanting to use SSL simply to garbage-ify the data between my server application and the client. I'd like to use only 128 bit encryption (CPU limitations). But I cannot generate a certificate with a key this small.
Do I need to use something besides RSA then? Or can I somehow specify a public key to go with the private key in the ctx when establishing the server's socket (rather than it coming from the certificate)? I'm not sure I really need a certificate authenticating who the server is.
Thanks, Davy
p.s.
I'm really naive about encryption if you couldn't tell already. Where are some online resources that explain in plain terms what SSL uses (i.e. RSA, DSA, IDEA, RC4,.. ) I ready the informative 2 documents already:
http://www.openssl.org/docs/HOWTO/keys.txt and http://www.openssl.org/docs/HOWTO/certificates.txt
Very helpful in getting started..
