Https connection with CC3000

Hi,

I'm hosting CC3000 module with PIC32 MCU. I want to establish an https connection between this module and an Apache web server. How this could be made possible?

Best Regards,

Deepa.

    Hi Deepa

    As I know there is no support for https / ssl integrated in the CC3000. Maybe you can modify the CC3000 host driver and use an external crypto library on your MCU. But I don't think that's that simple and I'm not sure if your PIC32 MUC has enough resources for the crypto calculations.

    Regards,

    Dave

    Yes, the CC3000 doesn't support HTTPS (or HTTP). Your implementation will have to create a TCP socket through the CC3000 Host Driver and use that to transfer data to your MCU where all HTTPS decrypting and parsing is done. I'm not familiar with HTTPS but I imagine its pretty resource intensive. You will have to research whether such a thing can be done on your platform.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the information.

    I was thinking if I  could bypass the TCP/IP stack in cc3000 module so that I could use stack provided by microchip in my host controller, which has the TLS layer.

    Best Regards,

    Deepa.

    Hi Deepa,

    It is not possible to bypass the network stack of the CC3000.
