RE: SSL_read/SSL_write from kernel

Title: intoto Stationery

Thanks, but let me rephrase my question.

 

There seems to be a requirement for us to process SSL app data from kernel,

wherein I would like to read the sk_buff and pass it to a crypto acclerator

(hardware/software), but we face a problem wherein for block ciphers, we need

to ensure the data segment within the sk_buff is a multiple of the block cipher

length, otherwise, we need to do a buffer copy and maintain the remaining data

in some kernel memory, prequeue it and append it to the next sk_buff..

 

If openssl does support SSL_read/SSL_write from kernel, then I could simply

call it otherwise, have to write my own SSL_read/SSL_write functions..

 

Please let me know if such support is available or someone has already attempted

this..

 

Thanks

Hi,

U need to write a separate kernel module using open-ssl library. I don't think it is possible. Instead of that, u send your data to user space and there u use the SSL_read and SSL_write functions.

Thanks,

Hi.,

 

Does openssl as such provide support for packet processing

from kernel..i.e what do I have to do to invoke SSL_read/write

from kernel..has anyone attempted this before.

 

Thanks
