ABSTRACT OF PROBLEM
___________________
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support for TPF.
 

COMMENTS ON PROBLEM
___________________
SSL enables socket applications using the TCP protocol to commu-
nicate  in  a  secure manner over the TCP/IP network.  After the
TCP connection is started, applications  use  the  SSL  APIs  to
establish   an   SSL  session  over  that  TCP  connection,  and
optionally verify each other's identity  using  digital  certif-
icates.    Public  key cryptography is used to exchange a secret
key between the client and  server  applications  when  the  SSL
session  is  started.   After the SSL connection is started, the
applications use the SSL_write and  SSL_read  APIs  to  exchange
data  over  the  SSL  session.   The SSL layer encrypts the data
before it is sent to the network and the remote node's SSL layer
decrypts the data before passing it to the  remote  application.
The  secret  key created when the SSL session started is used to
encrypt  and  decrypt  data   messages   using   symmetric   key
cryptography.    Messages  flowing over an SSL session include a
message digest, which allows the  remote  node's  SSL  layer  to
detect if the contents of a message have been altered.
 

SOLUTION
________
OpenSSL version 0.9.6 has been ported to TPF.
 
OpenSSL  is  Open Source code that includes many SSL APIs and an
extensive cryptography library written by Eric Young.
 
OpenSSL information is available at www.openssl.org.
 
TPF has made only minor modifications to the ported  code,  spe-
cifically enabling time slicing in the encryption/decryption and
message digest routines.
 
The  object  code  and  source  code for SSL support for TPF are
included in this APAR.  You must use the  code  shipped  by  TPF
rather  than the code that is available for downloading from the
OpenSSL website because the code on the OpenSSL website does not
contain the TPF modifications.
 
SSL support on TPF includes support for the following:
 
o   SSL version 2 and SSL version 3 protocols
 
o   Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1 protocol, which  is
    defined by RFC 2246
 
o   Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) public key cryptography
 
o   RC2, RC4, DES, and Triple-DES ciphers
 
o   MD5 and SHA message digest algorithms
 
o   Client and server authentication using digital certificates
 
o   Single and chained certificate
 
 
 
 
 
                                                                            1
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If  your  TPF  SSL  application needs a certificate, meaning the
remote application will validate the identity of your TPF appli-
cation, do the following:
 
1.  Create  an  RSA  public/private  key  pair  and  certificate
    request offline using any SSL toolkit.
 
    For example, you can do this using the OpenSSL code  running
    on a secure workstation.
 
    Some  SSL toolkits, including OpenSSL, allow you to password
    protect the private key so that the key is not in the  clear
    when the file containing the private key is displayed.
 
 
2.  Send  the  certificate request to your certificate authority
    (CA).  The CA will create and  sign  the  certificate,  then
    send the certificate back to you.
 
3.  Transfer  the  file  containing the private key and the file
    containing the certificate to your TPF system using  FTP  or
    TFTP.
 
If  your  TPF  SSL application will validate the identify of the
remote application, do the following:
 
1.  Transfer the files containing the certificates  of  the  CAs
    that you trust to TPF using FTP or TFTP.
 
2.  Optionally,  transfer the files containing certificate revo-
    cation lists (CRLs) to TPF using FTP or TFTP.  CRLs  contain
    the list of certificates that have been revoked.
