[openssl-users] how to set temporary EC Diffie-Hellman parameters

[asmarner at yahoo.com]

How about the following?
    EC_KEY *ecdh_parms = NULL;
    if (!(ecdh_parms= EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name(NID_X9_62_prime256v1)))    {        printf("ECDH key generation failed");        return 0;    }
    if (EC_KEY_precompute_mult(ecdh_parms, NULL) == 0)    {        printf("ECDH precomputation failed");        EC_KEY_free (ecdh_parms);        return 0;    }
    if (SSL_CTX_set_tmp_ecdh(ssl_ctx, ecdh_parms) == 0)    {        printf("ECDH key could not be set");        EC_KEY_free (ecdh_parms);        return 0;    }
    EC_KEY_free (ecdh_parms);

 I got my application to support openssl s_client connections using the ephemeral ECDH cipher suites. I didn't initialize it properly.

Now I am looking at how to get my application accept openssl connections from a client with multiple curves instead of just "NID_X9_62_prime256v1". I appreciate any tips.
      EC_KEY *ecdh = EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name (NID_X9_62_prime256v1);

Thanks!

Hello,
I appreciate if anyone can guide me how to set temporary EC Diffie-Hellman parameters to be able to accept SSL connections from a client using ephemeral ECDHE cipher.
I have an ssl based application that can accept SSL connections. I can establish SSL connections from a client using RSA cipher ( eg AES128-SHA), but when I use the ephemeral EDHE ciphers (eg ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA), the SSL handshake fails.
I have been googling to understand the issue for several hours, and it looks like I need to set temporary DH parameters.
I added the following code right after SSL initialization and creating context in my application....
   EC_KEY *ecdh = EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name (NID_X9_62_prime256v1);   ecdh = EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name (NID_X9_62_prime256v1);
   if (! ecdh)
       error ();
   if (1 != SSL_CTX_set_tmp_ecdh (session_cache_ctx, ecdh))
      return -ENOMEM;   EC_KEY_free (ecdh);
...
But it is still not working. I am not familiar with this area, and I greatly appreciate any help.
I am running OpenSSL 1.0.1

Jordan.
