Need to know the expected PublicKey in upgrades #882
Comments
One idea would be to pass the expected public key to However this raises questions:
|
I'd expect you know this, but.. We only need one party A to know the public key of the other party B, because the handshake can send A's public key to B encrypted behind ee and es key exchanges. We've slightly different handshakes that determine if A or B initiates the connection. |
#888 has been merged but is not usable in practice because of this issue. |
@tomaka, It depends on the handshake pattern. One could use XX for instance which works without pre-shared static keys. The IK pattern of course requires this issue to be resolved first. |
Closing in favor of #2946. |
When negotiating the encryption protocol, we can remove one roundtrip by knowing the public key of the remote in advance. This requires some changes in the APIs.
