## Getting started with Mbed Crypto

### What is Mbed Crypto?

Mbed Crypto is an open source cryptographic library that supports a wide range of cryptographic operations, including:
* Key management
* Hashing
* Symmetric cryptography
* Asymmetric cryptography
* Message authentication (MAC)
* Key generation and derivation
* Authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD)

The Mbed Crypto library is a reference implementation of the cryptography interface of the Arm Platform Security Architecture (PSA). It is written in portable C.

The Mbed Crypto library is distributed under the Apache License, version 2.0.

#### Platform Security Architecture (PSA)

Arm's Platform Security Architecture (PSA) is a holistic set of threat models,
security analyses, hardware and firmware architecture specifications, and an open source firmware reference implementation. PSA provides a recipe, based on industry best practice, that allows security to be consistently designed in, at both a hardware and firmware level. Part of the API provided by PSA is the cryptography interface, which provides access to a set of primitives.

### Getting the Mbed Crypto library

Mbed Crypto releases are available in the [public Github repository]( https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-crypto).

### Building the Mbed Crypto library

You need the following tools to build the library with the provided makefiles:
* GNU Make.
* A C toolchain (compiler, linker, archiver).
* Python 2 or Python 3 (either works) to generate the test code.
* Perl to run the tests.

If you have a C compiler such as GCC or Clang, just run `make` in the top-level directory to build the library, a set of unit tests and some sample programs.

To select a different compiler, set the `CC` variable to name or path of the compiler and linker (default: `cc`) and set `AR` to a compatible archiver (default: `ar`), such as:
```
make CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc AR=arm-linux-gnueabi-ar
```
The provided makefiles pass options to the compiler that assume a GCC-like command line syntax. To use a different compiler, you may need to pass different values for `CFLAGS`, `WARNINGS_CFLAGS` and `LDFLAGS`.

To run the unit tests on the host machine, run `make test` from the top-level directory. If you are cross-compiling, copy the test executable from the `tests` directory to the target machine.

### Using the Mbed Crypto library

To use the Mbed Crypto APIs, call `psa_crypto_init()` before calling any other API. This initializes the library.

### Importing a key

To use a key for cryptography operations in Mbed Crypto, you need to first
import it. Upon importing, you'll be given a handle to refer to the key for use
with other function calls.

Prerequisites for importing keys:
* Initialize the library with a successful call to `psa_crypto_init`.

Importing a key:
```C
    psa_status_t status;
    psa_key_attributes_t attributes = PSA_KEY_ATTRIBUTES_INIT;
    uint8_t data[] = AES_KEY;
    psa_key_handle_t handle;

    printf("Import an AES key...\t");
    fflush(stdout);

    /* Initialize PSA Crypto */
    status = psa_crypto_init();
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to initialize PSA Crypto\n");
        return;
    }

    /* Set key attributes */
    psa_set_key_usage_flags(&attributes, 0);
    psa_set_key_algorithm(&attributes, 0);
    psa_set_key_type(&attributes, PSA_KEY_TYPE_AES);
    psa_set_key_bits(&attributes, 128);

    /* Import the key */
    status = psa_import_key(&attributes, data, sizeof(data), &handle);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to import key\n");
        return;
    }
    printf("Imported a key\n");

    /* Free the attributes */
    psa_reset_key_attributes(&attributes);

    /* Destroy the key */
    psa_destroy_key(handle);

    mbedtls_psa_crypto_free();
```

### Signing a message using RSA

Mbed Crypto provides support for encrypting, decrypting, signing and verifying messages using public key signature algorithms (such as RSA or ECDSA).

Prerequisites for performing asymmetric signature operations:
* Initialize the library with a successful call to `psa_crypto_init`.
* Have a valid key with appropriate attributes set:
    * Usage flag `PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN` to allow signing.
    * Usage flag `PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY` to allow signature verification.
    * Algorithm set to desired signature algorithm.

To sign a given `hash` using RSA:
1. Call `psa_asymmetric_sign()` and get the output buffer that contains the
   signature:
```C
    psa_status_t status;
    psa_key_attributes_t attributes = PSA_KEY_ATTRIBUTES_INIT;
    uint8_t key[] = RSA_KEY;
    uint8_t hash[] = "INPUT_FOR_SIGN";
    uint8_t signature[PSA_ASYMMETRIC_SIGNATURE_MAX_SIZE] = {0};
    size_t signature_length;
    psa_key_handle_t handle;

    printf("Sign a message...\t");
    fflush(stdout);

    /* Initialize PSA Crypto */
    status = psa_crypto_init();
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to initialize PSA Crypto\n");
        return;
    }

    /* Set key attributes */
    psa_set_key_usage_flags(&attributes, PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN);
    psa_set_key_algorithm(&attributes, PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW);
    psa_set_key_type(&attributes, PSA_KEY_TYPE_RSA_KEY_PAIR);
    psa_set_key_bits(&attributes, 1024);

    /* Import the key */
    status = psa_import_key(&attributes, key, sizeof(key), &handle);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to import key\n");
        return;
    }

    /* Sign message using the key */
    status = psa_asymmetric_sign(handle, PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW,
                                 hash, sizeof(hash),
                                 signature, sizeof(signature),
                                 &signature_length);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to sign\n");
        return;
    }

    printf("Signed a message\n");

    /* Free the attributes */
    psa_reset_key_attributes(&attributes);

    /* Destroy the key */
    psa_destroy_key(handle);

    mbedtls_psa_crypto_free();
```

### Using symmetric ciphers

Mbed Crypto provides support for encrypting and decrypting messages using various symmetric cipher algorithms (both block and stream ciphers).

Prerequisites to working with the symmetric cipher API:
* Initialize the library with a successful call to `psa_crypto_init`.
* Configure the key policy accordingly (`PSA_KEY_USAGE_ENCRYPT` to allow encryption or `PSA_KEY_USAGE_DECRYPT` to allow decryption).
* Have a valid key in the key slot.

Encrypting a message with a symmetric cipher:
1. Allocate an operation (`psa_cipher_operation_t`) structure to pass to the cipher functions.
1. Call `psa_cipher_encrypt_setup` to initialize the operation structure and  specify the algorithm and the key to be used.
1. Call either `psa_cipher_generate_iv` or `psa_cipher_set_iv` to generate or set the initialization vector (IV). We recommended `psa_cipher_generate_iv`, unless you require a specific IV value.
1. Call `psa_cipher_update` one or more times, passing either the whole or only a fragment of the message each time.
1. Call `psa_cipher_finish` to end the operation and output the encrypted message.

Encrypting data using an AES key in cipher block chain (CBC) mode with no padding (assuming all prerequisites have been fulfilled):
```c
    enum {
        block_size = PSA_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE(PSA_KEY_TYPE_AES),
    };
    psa_status_t status;
    psa_key_attributes_t attributes = PSA_KEY_ATTRIBUTES_INIT;
    psa_algorithm_t alg = PSA_ALG_CBC_NO_PADDING;
    uint8_t plaintext[block_size] = SOME_PLAINTEXT;
    uint8_t iv[block_size];
    size_t iv_len;
    uint8_t key[] = AES_KEY;
    uint8_t output[block_size];
    size_t output_len;
    psa_key_handle_t handle;
    psa_cipher_operation_t operation = PSA_CIPHER_OPERATION_INIT;

    printf("Encrypt with cipher...\t");
    fflush(stdout);

    /* Initialize PSA Crypto */
    status = psa_crypto_init();
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS)
    {
        printf("Failed to initialize PSA Crypto\n");
        return;
    }

    /* Import a key */
    psa_set_key_usage_flags(&attributes, PSA_KEY_USAGE_ENCRYPT);
    psa_set_key_algorithm(&attributes, alg);
    psa_set_key_type(&attributes, PSA_KEY_TYPE_AES);
    psa_set_key_bits(&attributes, 128);
    status = psa_import_key(&attributes, key, sizeof(key), &handle);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to import a key\n");
        return;
    }
    psa_reset_key_attributes(&attributes);

    /* Encrypt the plaintext */
    status = psa_cipher_encrypt_setup(&operation, handle, alg);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to begin cipher operation\n");
        return;
    }
    status = psa_cipher_generate_iv(&operation, iv, sizeof(iv), &iv_len);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to generate IV\n");
        return;
    }
    status = psa_cipher_update(&operation, plaintext, sizeof(plaintext),
                               output, sizeof(output), &output_len);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to update cipher operation\n");
        return;
    }
    status = psa_cipher_finish(&operation, output + output_len,
                               sizeof(output) - output_len, &output_len);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to finish cipher operation\n");
        return;
    }
    printf("Encrypted plaintext\n");

    /* Clean up cipher operation context */
    psa_cipher_abort(&operation);

    /* Destroy the key */
    psa_destroy_key(handle);

    mbedtls_psa_crypto_free();
```

Decrypting a message with a symmetric cipher:
1. Allocate an operation (`psa_cipher_operation_t`) structure to pass to the cipher functions.
1. Call `psa_cipher_decrypt_setup` to initialize the operation structure and to specify the algorithm and the key to be used.
1. Call `psa_cipher_set_iv` with the IV for the decryption.
1. Call `psa_cipher_update` one or more times passing either the whole or only a fragment of the message each time.
1. Call `psa_cipher_finish` to end the operation and output the decrypted message.

Decrypting encrypted data using an AES key in CBC mode with no padding
(assuming all prerequisites have been fulfilled):
```c
    enum {
        block_size = PSA_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE(PSA_KEY_TYPE_AES),
    };
    psa_status_t status;
    psa_key_attributes_t attributes = PSA_KEY_ATTRIBUTES_INIT;
    psa_algorithm_t alg = PSA_ALG_CBC_NO_PADDING;
    psa_cipher_operation_t operation = PSA_CIPHER_OPERATION_INIT;
    uint8_t ciphertext[block_size] = SOME_CIPHERTEXT;
    uint8_t iv[block_size] = ENCRYPTED_WITH_IV;
    uint8_t key[] = AES_KEY;
    uint8_t output[block_size];
    size_t output_len;
    psa_key_handle_t handle;

    printf("Decrypt with cipher...\t");
    fflush(stdout);

    /* Initialize PSA Crypto */
    status = psa_crypto_init();
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS)
    {
        printf("Failed to initialize PSA Crypto\n");
        return;
    }

    /* Import a key */
    psa_set_key_usage_flags(&attributes, PSA_KEY_USAGE_DECRYPT);
    psa_set_key_algorithm(&attributes, alg);
    psa_set_key_type(&attributes, PSA_KEY_TYPE_AES);
    psa_set_key_bits(&attributes, 128);
    status = psa_import_key(&attributes, key, sizeof(key), &handle);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to import a key\n");
        return;
    }
    psa_reset_key_attributes(&attributes);

    /* Decrypt the ciphertext */
    status = psa_cipher_decrypt_setup(&operation, handle, alg);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to begin cipher operation\n");
        return;
    }
    status = psa_cipher_set_iv(&operation, iv, sizeof(iv));
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to set IV\n");
        return;
    }
    status = psa_cipher_update(&operation, ciphertext, sizeof(ciphertext),
                               output, sizeof(output), &output_len);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to update cipher operation\n");
        return;
    }
    status = psa_cipher_finish(&operation, output + output_len,
                               sizeof(output) - output_len, &output_len);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to finish cipher operation\n");
        return;
    }
    printf("Decrypted ciphertext\n");

    /* Clean up cipher operation context */
    psa_cipher_abort(&operation);

    /* Destroy the key */
    psa_destroy_key(handle);

    mbedtls_psa_crypto_free();
```

#### Handling cipher operation contexts

Once you've initialized the operation structure with a successful call to `psa_cipher_encrypt_setup` or `psa_cipher_decrypt_setup`, you can terminate the operation at any time by calling `psa_cipher_abort`.

The call to `psa_cipher_abort` frees any resources associated with the operation (except for the operation structure itself). An implicit call to `psa_cipher_abort` occurs when any of these conditions occur:
* A call to `psa_cipher_generate_iv`, `psa_cipher_set_iv` or `psa_cipher_update` has failed (returning any status other than `PSA_SUCCESS`).
* Either a successful or failed call to `psa_cipher_finish`.

Once `psa_cipher_abort` has been called (either implicitly by the implementation or explicitly by the user), the operation structure is invalidated and may not be reused for the same operation. However, the operation structure may be reused for a different operation by calling either `psa_cipher_encrypt_setup` or `psa_cipher_decrypt_setup` again.

For an operation that has been initialized successfully (by a successful call to `psa_cipher_encrypt_setup` or `psa_cipher_decrypt_setup`) it is imperative that at some time `psa_cipher_abort` is called.

Multiple sequential calls to `psa_cipher_abort` on an operation that has already been terminated (either implicitly or explicitly) are safe and have no effect.

### Hashing a message

Mbed Crypto lets you compute and verify hashes using various hashing
algorithms.

Prerequisites to working with the hash APIs:
* Initialize the library with a successful call to `psa_crypto_init`.

To calculate a hash:
1. Allocate an operation structure (`psa_hash_operation_t`) to pass to the hash functions.
1. Call `psa_hash_setup` to initialize the operation structure and specify the hash algorithm.
1. Call `psa_hash_update` one or more times, passing either the whole or only a fragment of the message each time.
1. Call `psa_hash_finish` to calculate the hash, or `psa_hash_verify` to compare the computed hash with an expected hash value.

Calculate the `SHA-256` hash of a message:
```c
    psa_status_t status;
    psa_algorithm_t alg = PSA_ALG_SHA_256;
    psa_hash_operation_t operation = PSA_HASH_OPERATION_INIT;
    unsigned char input[] = { 'a', 'b', 'c' };
    unsigned char actual_hash[PSA_HASH_MAX_SIZE];
    size_t actual_hash_len;

    printf("Hash a message...\t");
    fflush(stdout);

    /* Initialize PSA Crypto */
    status = psa_crypto_init();
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to initialize PSA Crypto\n");
        return;
    }

    /* Compute hash of message  */
    status = psa_hash_setup(&operation, alg);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to begin hash operation\n");
        return;
    }
    status = psa_hash_update(&operation, input, sizeof(input));
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to update hash operation\n");
        return;
    }
    status = psa_hash_finish(&operation, actual_hash, sizeof(actual_hash),
                             &actual_hash_len);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to finish hash operation\n");
        return;
    }

    printf("Hashed a message\n");

    /* Clean up hash operation context */
    psa_hash_abort(&operation);

    mbedtls_psa_crypto_free();
```

Verify the `SHA-256` hash of a message:
```c
    psa_status_t status;
    psa_algorithm_t alg = PSA_ALG_SHA_256;
    psa_hash_operation_t operation = PSA_HASH_OPERATION_INIT;
    unsigned char input[] = { 'a', 'b', 'c' };
    unsigned char expected_hash[] = {
        0xba, 0x78, 0x16, 0xbf, 0x8f, 0x01, 0xcf, 0xea, 0x41, 0x41, 0x40, 0xde,
        0x5d, 0xae, 0x22, 0x23, 0xb0, 0x03, 0x61, 0xa3, 0x96, 0x17, 0x7a, 0x9c,
        0xb4, 0x10, 0xff, 0x61, 0xf2, 0x00, 0x15, 0xad
    };
    size_t expected_hash_len = PSA_HASH_SIZE(alg);

    printf("Verify a hash...\t");
    fflush(stdout);

    /* Initialize PSA Crypto */
    status = psa_crypto_init();
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to initialize PSA Crypto\n");
        return;
    }

    /* Verify message hash */
    status = psa_hash_setup(&operation, alg);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to begin hash operation\n");
        return;
    }
    status = psa_hash_update(&operation, input, sizeof(input));
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to update hash operation\n");
        return;
    }
    status = psa_hash_verify(&operation, expected_hash, expected_hash_len);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to verify hash\n");
        return;
    }

    printf("Verified a hash\n");

    /* Clean up hash operation context */
    psa_hash_abort(&operation);

    mbedtls_psa_crypto_free();
```

The API provides the macro `PSA_HASH_SIZE`, which returns the expected hash length (in bytes) for the specified algorithm.

#### Handling hash operation contexts

Once the operation structure has been successfully initialized by a successful call to `psa_hash_setup`, it's possible to terminate the operation at any time by calling `psa_hash_abort`. The call to `psa_hash_abort` frees any resources associated with the operation (except for the operation structure itself).

An implicit call to `psa_hash_abort` occurs when any of these conditions occur:
1. A call to `psa_hash_update` has failed (returning any status other than `PSA_SUCCESS`).
1. Either a successful or failed call to `psa_hash_finish`.
1. Either a successful or failed call to `psa_hash_verify`.

Once `psa_hash_abort` has been called (either implicitly by the implementation or explicitly by the user), the operation structure is invalidated and may not be reused for the same operation. However, the operation structure may be reused for a different operation by calling `psa_hash_setup` again.

For an operation that has been initialized successfully (by a successful call to `psa_hash_setup`) it is imperative that at some time `psa_hash_abort` is called.

Multiple sequential calls to `psa_hash_abort` on an operation that has already been terminated (either implicitly or explicitly) is safe and has no effect.

### Generating a random value

Mbed Crypto can generate random data. To generate a random key, use
`psa_generate_key()` instead of `psa_generate_random()`

Prerequisites to random generation:
* Initialize the library with a successful call to `psa_crypto_init()`.

Generate a random, ten-byte piece of data:
1. Generate random bytes by calling `psa_generate_random()`:
```C
    psa_status_t status;
    uint8_t random[10] = { 0 };

    printf("Generate random...\t");
    fflush(stdout);

    /* Initialize PSA Crypto */
    status = psa_crypto_init();
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to initialize PSA Crypto\n");
        return;
    }

    status = psa_generate_random(random, sizeof(random));
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to generate a random value\n");
        return;
    }

    printf("Generated random data\n");

    /* Clean up */
    mbedtls_psa_crypto_free();
```

### Deriving a new key from an existing key

Mbed Crypto provides a key derivation API that lets you derive new keys from
existing ones. The key derivation API has functions to take inputs, including
other keys and data, and functions to generate outputs, such as new keys or
other data. A key derivation context must first be initialized and set up,
provided with a key and optionally other data, and then derived data can be
read from it either to a buffer or directly sent to a key slot. Refer to the
documentation for the particular algorithm (such as HKDF or the TLS1.2 PRF) for
information on which inputs to pass when and when you can obtain which outputs.

Prerequisites to working with the key derivation APIs:
* Initialize the library with a successful call to `psa_crypto_init`.
* Use a key with the appropriate attributes set:
    * Usage flags set for key derivation (`PSA_KEY_USAGE_DERIVE`)
    * Key type set to `PSA_KEY_TYPE_DERIVE`.
    * Algorithm set to a key derivation algorithm
      (`PSA_ALG_HKDF(PSA_ALG_SHA_256)`).

Deriving a new AES-CTR 128-bit encryption key into a given key slot using HKDF
with a given key, salt and info:
1. Set up the key derivation context using the `psa_key_derivation_setup`
function, specifying the derivation algorithm `PSA_ALG_HKDF(PSA_ALG_SHA_256)`.
1. Provide an optional salt with `psa_key_derivation_input_bytes`.
1. Provide info with `psa_key_derivation_input_bytes`.
1. Provide secret with `psa_key_derivation_input_key`, referencing a key that
   can be used for key derivation.
1. Set the key attributes desired for the new derived key. We'll set
   `PSA_KEY_USAGE_ENCRYPT` parameter and the algorithm `PSA_ALG_CTR` for this
   example.
1. Derive the key by calling `psa_key_derivation_output_key()`.
1. Clean up the key derivation context.

At this point the derived key slot holds a new 128-bit AES-CTR encryption key
derived from the key, salt and info provided:
```C
    psa_status_t status;
    psa_key_attributes_t attributes = PSA_KEY_ATTRIBUTES_INIT;
    static const unsigned char key[] = {
        0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b,
        0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b,
        0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b, 0x0b,
        0x0b };
    static const unsigned char salt[] = {
        0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06,
        0x07, 0x08, 0x09, 0x0a, 0x0b, 0x0c };
    static const unsigned char info[] = {
        0xf0, 0xf1, 0xf2, 0xf3, 0xf4, 0xf5, 0xf6,

### Authenticating and encrypting or decrypting a message

Mbed Crypto provides a simple way for authenticate and encrypt with associated data (AEAD) supporting `PSA_ALG_CCM` algorithm.

Prerequisites to working with the AEAD ciphers APIs:
* Initialize the library with a successful call to `psa_crypto_init`.
* The key attributes for the key used for derivation must have usage flags
  `PSA_KEY_USAGE_ENCRYPT` or `PSA_KEY_USAGE_DECRYPT`.

To authenticate and encrypt a message:
```C
    psa_status_t status;

### Generating and exporting keys

Mbed Crypto provides a simple way to generate a key or key pair.

Prerequisites to using key generation and export APIs:
* Initialize the library with a successful call to `psa_crypto_init`.

Generate an ECDSA key:
1. Set the desired key attributes for key generation by calling
   `psa_set_key_algorithm()` with the chosen ECDSA algorithm (such as
   `PSA_ALG_DETERMINISTIC_ECDSA(PSA_ALG_SHA_256)`). We don't set
   `PSA_KEY_USAGE_EXPORT` as we only want to export the public key, not the key
   pair (or private key).
1. Generate a key by calling `psa_generate_key()`.
1. Export the generated public key by calling `psa_export_public_key()`
:
```C
    enum {
        key_bits = 256,
    };
    psa_status_t status;
    size_t exported_length = 0;
    static uint8_t exported[PSA_KEY_EXPORT_ECC_PUBLIC_KEY_MAX_SIZE(key_bits)];
    psa_key_attributes_t attributes = PSA_KEY_ATTRIBUTES_INIT;
    psa_key_handle_t handle;

    printf("Generate a key pair...\t");
    fflush(stdout);

    /* Initialize PSA Crypto */
    status = psa_crypto_init();
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to initialize PSA Crypto\n");
        return;
    }

    /* Generate a key */
    psa_set_key_usage_flags(&attributes, PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN);
    psa_set_key_algorithm(&attributes,
                          PSA_ALG_DETERMINISTIC_ECDSA(PSA_ALG_SHA_256));
    psa_set_key_type(&attributes,
                     PSA_KEY_TYPE_ECC_KEY_PAIR(PSA_ECC_CURVE_SECP256R1));
    psa_set_key_bits(&attributes, key_bits);
    status = psa_generate_key(&attributes, &handle);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to generate key\n");
        return;
    }
    psa_reset_key_attributes(&attributes);

    status = psa_export_public_key(handle, exported, sizeof(exported),
                                   &exported_length);
    if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) {
        printf("Failed to export public key %ld\n", status);
        return;
    }

    printf("Exported a public key\n");

    /* Destroy the key */
    psa_destroy_key(handle);

    mbedtls_psa_crypto_free();
```
