Hi all, I'm developing support for TLS 1.1 and 1.2 in a radius-server that until now only handles TLS 1.0. I'm testing with a testtool that the vendor says is using OpenSSL to implement the TLS support. It all seems to work except for the following:
When all key exchange messages are sent from the server and back from the client the client sends the "Finished" message which is the first encrypted with the negotiated symmetric cipher suite. I use AES-128 in block mode and according to the spec (RFC4346 for TLS 1.1) the IV is prepended to the encrypted message (containing the payload, MAC and padding). The message size i right and when (in the server) I use the first 16 bytes of the message received from the client as IV the decryption fails but when I use the mechanism from TLS 1.0 to pick up the IV from the key_block the decryption is successful. I understand that this is one way to generate the IV that I suppose you use which is fine but shouldn't this 16 byte vector be prepended, unecrypted, to the encrypted data that is sent to the server? In TLS 1.2 there is not IV material generated at all in the key_block so in that case I don't even know where to find it. The simple question is, shouldn't the first 16 bytes (assuming AES) of the message (after the 5 byte header) be the unencrypted IV to be used in the decryption of the rest of the message? I tried to dig in to the OpenSSL source but it's far too long ago I did some serious C coding so I hope someone with a working knowledge can enlighten me. I might have misunderstood the spec but in that case I would be grateful if someone could clarify this specific part of it.
