{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Optionally log master secrets for TLS connections","articleBody":"Sometimes it's necessary to decrypt your own TLS connections to debug their contents. Wireshark supports this quite nicely with its decryption feature. For non-DH key agreement, you simply provide the private key of the server. However, for DH key agreement, or when you are acting only as a client, that doesn't work. Firefox and Chrome support the environment variable SSLKEYLOGFILE to write the master secrets used to a file, for decryption by Wireshark. It would be great to support this or a similar mechanism for logging master secrets in Node.\n\nKey log format: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/Key_Log_Format\nHelpful Stack Exchange howto: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/35639/decrypting-tls-in-wireshark-when-using-dhe-rsa-ciphersuites/42350#42350\nWireshark decryption docs: https://wiki.wireshark.org/SSL\n\n(reposted from https://github.com/nodejs/node-convergence-archive/issues/59).\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jsha","@type":"Person","name":"jsha"},"datePublished":"2015-08-12T16:32:09Z","url":"https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2363"}
