Java TLS Session Reuse after closed connection (1 answer)

I have a Java client that may create many sessions to the same server. The TLS protocol has a facility to cache session keys and thus avoid the expensive PKI processing for each connection. But I cannot get it to actually work.

openssl s_client -reconnect -state -prexit -connect localhost:1234 Reports that the server has "Reused, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384", and same master keys.

The data stream is binary, not HTTP encapsulated.

The code that I use is (approx.) as follows. It works, but no session reuse.

    initSSLContext(keyStore, "password", trustStore, "PKIX", "TLSv1");

While (true) {

    connect(); 

    byte[] encode1 = { 0x42, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, };
    outs.write(encode1);
    byte[] ttlbuf = new byte[10000];
    int len = ins.read(ttlbuf, 0, ttlbuf.length);
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    socket.close();
}

private void initSSLContext(KeyStore keyStore, String keyStorePwd, KeyStore trustStore,
        String sslTrustManagerAlg, String sslProtocol) throws Exception {
    KeyManager[] keyManagers = null;

    if ( keyStore != null && keyStorePwd != null ) {
        KeyManagerFactory kmf = 
           KeyManagerFactory.getInstance(KeyManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm());
        kmf.init(keyStore, keyStorePwd.toCharArray());
        keyManagers = kmf.getKeyManagers();
    }

    TrustManager[] trustManagers = null;
    if ( trustStore != null ) {
        TrustManagerFactory tmf = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(sslTrustManagerAlg);
        tmf.init(trustStore);
        trustManagers = tmf.getTrustManagers();
    }

    ctx = SSLContext.getInstance(sslProtocol);
    ctx.init(keyManagers, trustManagers, null);

    factory = ctx.getSocketFactory();
}

private void connect() throws IOException {
    socket = (SSLSocket) factory.createSocket(host, port);
    socket.setSoTimeout(30000);
    // ensure first ClientHello is TLSv1 rather than SSLv2
    socket.setEnabledProtocols(new String[] { "TLSv1" });
    socket.setEnabledCipherSuites(DEFAULT_SSL_CIPHER_SUITES);
    localHost = socket.getLocalAddress().getHostAddress();
    localPort = socket.getLocalPort();
    ins = socket.getInputStream();
    outs = socket.getOutputStream();
 }

The problem is that any fatal alert kills the session resumption. So reading past the end of one stream kills subsequent resuse. There is more here
