| [mosquitto-dev] Help with TLS and X25519 EC for key agreement |
|
I hope this is the proper mailing list for this issue. I looked for a users list but couldn't find one. Let me know if this belongs elsewhere. Having a problem trying to use X25519 with mosquitto broker. A client device (Tasmota) has been configured with a certificate that contains an X25519 public key, and an RSA signature. The broker is configured with "cafile" matching the signature on the device certificate. A Wireshark capture of the initial TLS
connection looks okay with Client and Server Hello packets, but
I don't have the expertise to do a deep dive into these packets
to say for certain that all is okay. However, I do see the
device's Client Hello packet advertising the expected cipher
suite (ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256),
and the expected public key type (X25519). The Mosquitto broker logs a message "New connection from <ip address> on port 8883". For some reason the Client-Hello/Server-Hello exchange happens twice, and then Mosquitto prints this error from the OpenSSL library: tls_process_cert_verify: signature for non signing certificate My only guess here is that the error happens because X25519 cannot be used for signing -- only key exchange...but the actual signature on the certificate is an RSA signature from a self-signed root CA that is configured into the broker via "cafile". Can anyone help me with this? I can provide the broker log text and Wireshark pcap files it that will help any...
