[zeromq-dev] ZeroMQ Curve Publish Subscribe

[LENFERINK Roy]

Hello everyone,

Currently I'm investigating the possibilities of ZeroMQ.

At the moment, I have created a publisher subscribe system with curve enabled.

This is the code I used to get it up and running (got it from Pieter hintjes his blog):
http://pastebin.com/LjV8aKLG

At the moment, the publisher is encrypting data with his private key and
different subscribers can decrypt the data using the publishers public key.
This is more 'authenticating' data than 'encrypting' data.

I would like to swap the keys, so, the publisher should encrypt the data
with his public key, and the subscribers should decrypt the data using
the private key of the publisher.

I have tested it with just loading the public key into the publishers program
and then load the private key into the subscribers program and apply this key to the
subscribers socket, but this is constantly giving me a message:
"CURVE I: cannot open client HELLO - wrong server key?"

Is it possible to use a public key for encrypting data (publisher socket) and
the private key for decrypting data (subscriber socket) with the architecture of ZeroMQ ?

Many thanks in advance,
Roy
