[openssl-users] SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_key_cb - creating a valid ctx and hmac ctx in callback.

[Henderson, Karl]

Thanks for the response - yes, I do understand I'm re-purposing this mechanism in a creative way. At this time, it's just for experimental purposes.

I’d like to use the key_name in the ticket to get a key. And then I’d like to use this and create a valid context and hmac so that I can have a 0-RTT startup.
    
    This is too sketchy to provide a meaningful response.  Session tickets are a mechanism for a server to *export* its session state to clients, allowing the server to do stateless session resumption.  They are not a mechanism for anything else, and other uses are likely to be fragile, and possibly insecure.  Too much creativity here is risky.

    Probably not.
