Hello Team,

We have a requirement to support onboard crypto engine which doesn't
share private keys to openssl. Current openssl code requires private
keys in its possession to succeed with handshake process.
Is there any way to skip updation of private keys in the ssl context and
still proceed with handshake? If so, how we need to configure? Can you
please provide pointers?



Yes, it is called "engines".  OpenSSL comes with a collection of engine
plugins for various crypto hardware, plus generic engines for hardware that makes its crypto operations available via a PKCS#11 or Microsoft CryptoAPI driver. There is also documentation for writing your own engine if none of the available engines are good enough.

Enjoy
