Hello.
I'm studying some parts of the OpenSSL code and I now have a question.
In ssl/ssl_locl.h, I'm wandering if the #define SSL_ENC_MASK is right.
Before the Camellia was added (0.9.8b), we had :
#define SSL_ENC_MASK 0x0*4*3F8000L
In 0.9.8c:
#define SSL_ENC_MASK 0x0*C*3F8000L
From 4 to C -
Hi,
SSL_ENC_MASK is a bit mask. Each time a new algorithm is added, a new
bit est positioned.
If you look in the file ssl_locl.h just under the define of
SSL_ENC_MASK, you'll find the definitions of the bits associated with
each algorithm.
For example, for Camellia it's 0x0800 (bit number
Thanks Mounir but you didn't exactly answer my question.
I noticed Camellia and SEED. My question was about how to define the
mask according to a new cipher.
That's why I've already taken a look at the last 2 entries.
However, if a new algorithm makes it in OpenSSL, what would the mask be ?
I
The bit flag for a new algorithm would logically be 0x2000 and the
next 0x4000. Thus, the value of the mask would be 0x3C3F8000L and
0x7C3F8000L respectively.
