🤝 Minimal TLS 1.2 Client Handshake implementation in Go

TLS Experiment

Minimal TLS 1.2 Client Handshake implementation in Go. The project was implemented for academic purpose.

Support

• The project can be easily extended with more cipher suites. At the moment it has support only for TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384.
• Each TLS structure can be visualized in JSON format.

Workflow

1. Creates Client Hello
2. Receives and parses Server Hello, Server Certificate, Server Key Exchange, Server Hello Done
3. Generates and sends Client Key Exchange
4. Calculates Client Encryption Keys
5. Sends Client Change Cipher Spec, Client Handshake Finished
6. Receives and parses Server Change Cipher Spec, Server Handshake Finished
7. Encrypts a raw HTTP request and sends Client Application Data
8. Receives Server Application Data
9. Decrypts the HTTP response
