I recently tried playing with the DTLS code within OpenSSL, but it contains multiple problems. I know from reading the archives that other people have had issues trying to figure out the details of what is needed to use the DTLS code. So, since I actually got things working (albeit in an interesting way) I thought I'd actually write up the results so that others might benefit.
The biggest issue comes from needing to deal with multiple clients trying to talk through the same UDP port, which isn't handled by at least the 0.9.8i code at least. I'd love feedback on some of my conclusions. I'm not in any way an OpenSSL exert and dove further into the code this time than I have in the past. But I'm not swimming in the deep end yet. The write up is written on the Net-SNMP wiki, since that's what I was working on it for. It's written fairly generically so you don't need to understand SNMP (and people who know SNMP don't need to know a huge amount about OpenSSL). IE, There is a fair amount of introductory text. http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/DTLS_Implementation_Notes -- "In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find." -- Terry Pratchett ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
