From cb6cbf452f6183a00746afc5bff8f63f3f55235f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guus Sliepen Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2012 23:17:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Use only one hash algorithm (SHA512) in the PRF. On some platforms, OpenSSL by default does not support the Whirlpool algorithm. --- src/openssl/prf.c | 9 +++------ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/openssl/prf.c b/src/openssl/prf.c index 648a157b..13841c4d 100644 --- a/src/openssl/prf.c +++ b/src/openssl/prf.c @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ #include "prf.h" /* Generate key material from a master secret and a seed, based on RFC 4346 section 5. - We use SHA512 and Whirlpool instead of MD5 and SHA1. + We use SHA512 instead of MD5 and SHA1. */ static bool prf_xor(int nid, const char *secret, size_t secretlen, char *seed, size_t seedlen, char *out, ssize_t outlen) { @@ -66,11 +66,8 @@ static bool prf_xor(int nid, const char *secret, size_t secretlen, char *seed, s } bool prf(const char *secret, size_t secretlen, char *seed, size_t seedlen, char *out, size_t outlen) { - /* Split secret in half, generate outlen bits with two different hash algorithms, - and XOR the results. */ - + /* This construction allows us to easily switch back to a scheme where the PRF is calculated using two different digest algorithms. */ memset(out, 0, outlen); - return prf_xor(NID_sha512, secret, (secretlen + 1) / 2, seed, seedlen, out, outlen) - && prf_xor(NID_whirlpool, secret + secretlen / 2, (secretlen + 1) / 2, seed, seedlen, out, outlen); + return prf_xor(NID_sha512, secret, secretlen, seed, seedlen, out, outlen); } -- 2.39.2
