I try to run a distribuded application where is used to calculate a burmester desmedt key agreement.
The code that does this is the following:
#include "mpi.h"
#include <stdio.h>
// Openssl
#include <openssl/conf.h>
#include <openssl/evp.h>
#include <openssl/err.h>
// Custom
#include "message.h"
#include "dh.h"
void cleanup(DH *secret);
void cleanup(DH *secret) {
EVP_cleanup();
CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data();
OPENSSL_free(secret);
ERR_free_strings();
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int rank, size;
MPI_Init( &argc, &argv );
MPI_Comm_rank( MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank );
MPI_Comm_size( MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size );
/* Load the human readable error strings for libcrypto */
ERR_load_crypto_strings();
/* Load all digest and cipher algorithms */
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms();
/* Load config file, and other important initialisation */
OPENSSL_config(NULL);
DH *secret;
printf("RANK %d, Generating Diffie Hellman Keys\n", rank);
fflush(stdout);
if(-1 == generateKeys(secret)) {
cleanup(secret);
fprintf(stderr, "RANK %d, Failed to intialize key\n",rank);
fflush(stderr);
return -1;
}
printf("RANK %d, Keys generated\n",rank);
fflush(stdout);
// Set up Barrier for cpommunications
MPI_Barrier(MPI_COMM_WORLD);
printf("RANK %d, Publishing Keys\n", rank);
fflush(stdout);
if(secret == NULL) {
cleanup(secret);
fprintf(stderr, "RANK %d, Error on Generating the Diffie Hellman\n",rank);
fflush(stderr);
return -1;
}
if(MPIbcastBigNum(secret->pub_key, rank, "Publishing Public Key") == -1){
cleanup(secret);
return -1;
}
/*Cleanup */
cleanup(secret);
MPI_Finalize();
return 0;
}
And there are helper methods for initializing the DH and for the messaging (in order to save space I post the code via links):
Also I compile it via this Makefile. So I want to know why I the following execution turns into segfault?
mpirun -np 3 ./builds/main
RANK 1, Generating Diffie Hellman Keys
RANK 2, Generating Diffie Hellman Keys
RANK 0, Generating Diffie Hellman Keys
RANK 1, Keys generated
RANK 2, Keys generated
RANK 0, Keys generated
RANK 2, Publishing Keys

Is the DH Object somehow overwritten (as fas as I know OpenSSL is not thread and process safe and I attempt to run it via separate processes).
Sometimes is good idea to Create the DH object OUTSIDE on any function (ideally on main).
In your implementation is is created in the following function located in dh.c file:
int generateKeys(DH *encryptionInfo) {
int codes;
if(NULL == (encryptionInfo = DH_new())) return -1;
if(1 != DH_generate_parameters_ex(encryptionInfo, 2048, DH_GENERATOR_2, NULL)) return -1;
if(1 != DH_check(encryptionInfo, &codes)) return -1;
if(codes != 0) return -1;
if(1 != DH_generate_key(encryptionInfo)) return -1;
return 0;
}
So ti may cause for the encryptionInfo to take an invalid address, thus I suggest to move the following piece of code towards the main:
if(NULL == (encryptionInfo = DH_new())) return -1;
