mbedTLS DTLS client

Overview

This sample code shows a simple DTLS client using mbed TLS on top of Zephyr

Building and running

Follow the steps for testing networking with Qemu.

Obtain the mbed TLS code from:

https://tls.mbed.org/download/start/mbedtls-2.3.0-apache.tgz

and put it in a well known directory on your Linux machine, this will be your server.

change to that directory and compile the mbedTLS on your host machine:

$ tar -xvzf mbedtls-2.3.0-apache.tgz
$ cd mbedtls-2.3.0
$ CFLAGS="-I$PWD/configs -DMBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE='<config-thread.h>'" make

Assign the server IP address and start the DTLS server.

$ sudo ip addr add 192.0.2.2/24 dev tap0
$ ./programs/ssl/ssl_server2 dtls=1 ecjpake_pw=passwd
. Seeding the random number generator... ok
. Bind on udp://*:4433/ ... ok
. Setting up the SSL/TLS structure... ok
. Waiting for a remote connection ...

To stop the server use Ctrl-C and repeat steps described in f) every time QEMU gets terminated, due the Netwrok interface (tap) being restarted.

From the application directory type

$ make run

This will result in Qemu running with the following output:

. Seeding the random number generator... ok
. Setting up the DTLS structure... ok
. Connecting to udp 192.0.2.2:4433... ok
. Setting up ecjpake password ... ok
. Performing the SSL/TLS handshake... ok
> Write to server: ok
. Closing the connection... done

On the server side you should see this

. Performing the SSL/TLS handshake... hello verification requested
. Waiting for a remote connection ... ok
. Performing the SSL/TLS handshake... ok

<h2>mbed TLS Test Server</h2>
<p>Successful connection using: TLS-ECJPAKE-WITH-AES-128-CCM-8</p>

. Closing the connection... done
. Waiting for a remote connection ... ok
. Performing the SSL/TLS handshake... failed
! mbedtls_ssl_handshake returned -0x7900

. Waiting for a remote connection ...

Disregard the last handshake failed message, due the closing connection.

If the server does not receive the messages, use a network traffic analyzer, like Wireshark.
