i'm using "openssl 1.0.1j 15 Oct 2014" s_client and s_server to test out
TLS and DTLS with ECDHE, e.g.
s_server -dtls1 -accept 8000 -cert ecdsa_cert.pem -key ecdsa_key.pem
-cipher "ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA"
and
s_client -dtls1 -connect localhost:8000 -cipher "ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA"
this works great for authentication + encryption.
however if i substitute -cipher "ECDHE-ECDSA-NULL-SHA" to turn off the
encryption (keeping the initial authentication and the MAC message
integrity) i'm getting errors from s_server and s_client, shown below. i
get the same errors with or without -dtls1 (so using TCP instead of UDP).
openssl ciphers -V "NULL" shows it should be available if i understand the
command correctly (though it is listed as SSLv3 and not TLSv1.2 ?)
0xC0,0x06 - ECDHE-ECDSA-NULL-SHA SSLv3 Kx=ECDH Au=ECDSA
Enc=None Mac=SHA1
thanks for any assistance.
