      I'm cross-compiling yassl for a uClinux system.
      I built wput against it's static library and brought it in.

      I can't get it to establish a connection yet.
      By adding some debug statements I found out that the key exchange was failing in
      cyassl_inc.c at:

      SendClientKeyExchange(SSL* ssl)

      in:

      ret = RsaPublicEncrypt(ssl->preMasterSecret, SECRET_LEN, encSecret,
      sizeof(encSecret), &key, &ssl->rng);

      This happened because
      key->n was larger than sizeof(encSecret)

      specifically
      key->n - 128
      sizof(encSecret) - 96

      As these numbers just so happen to be the byte length of the common 1024 and 768 bit keys respectively, I figured that wolfssl was probably just not providing enough memory for keys > 768 bits.

      Hacking things around, I changed SECRET_LEN to 64 to bump it up to 1024 bits.
      This allowed the key exchange to pass but causes a mac error, so I'm figuring there's another number or table in there that needs to change alongside of SECRET_LEN.

      Am I on the right track?
      Is there an established way to add support for larger keys?
      Am I completely off?

      thx,
      NZG

      SECRET_LEN needs to stay at 48, per the standard. The bug is the length of encSecret, it shouldn't depend on SECRET_LEN. I just increased it to 256 to handle up to 2048 bit RSA. Thanks for the report.

      Thank you sir.
      That little tip got my app working.
      More testing is required but it certainly makes for a better nights sleep.
