REMOTE LOGIN PROTOCOLS A client/server model can create a mechanism that allows a user to establish a session on the remote machine and then run its applications. This application is known as remote login. This can be done by a client/server application program for the desired service. Two remote login protocols are TELNET and SSH. TELNET Protocol TELNET (terminal network) is a TCP/IP standard for establishing a connection to a remote system. TELNET allows a user to log in to a remote machine across the Internet by first making a TCP connection and then pass the detail of the application from the user to the remote machine.. You do this to many

How to init? How tofree? I’m playing with RSA-PSS signatures, and stumbled upon a few problems. I tried the OpenSSL manual pages, but still coming short of complete understanding. :-) This is how I initialize the contexts (error handlers removed for brevity): ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(privkey, NULL); md_ctx = EVP_MD_CTX_create(); const EVP_MD *md = EVP_sha256(); rv = EVP_DigestInit_ex(md_ctx, md, NULL); rv = EVP_DigestSignInit(md_ctx, &ctx, md, NULL, privkey); First question: do I need EVP_DigestInit_ex() there? Second question: do I have to specify hash-function (EVP_MD*) twice? First when initializing EVP_MD_CTX, and second for EVP_DigestSignInit()? At the end I need to dispose of both ctx and md_ctx. That leads to my third question/problem. The code I tried (based on what the man page says: to avoid memory leak, I need to do EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(md_ctx) crashes with SIGV: EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(md_ctx); // this succeeds EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(ctx); // but here the code crashes Same happens when I reverse the above order: EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(ctx); // this succeeds EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(md_ctx); // but then this one causes crash So what’s the correct way of freeing both of them? Or is it that because they’re sort of “bound together” by EVP_DigestSignInit(md_ctx, &ctx, md, NULL, privkey); freeing one frees the other? Thanks! — Regards, Uri
