The number of meaning of the flags will be determined later, when handling the
relevant struct members. For now three bytes are reserved as an example, but
this number may change later.
This mainly follows the design document (saving all fields marked "saved" in
the main structure and the transform sub-structure) with two exceptions:
- things related to renegotiation are excluded here (there weren't quite in
the design document as the possibility of allowing renegotiation was still
on the table, which is no longer is) - also, ssl.secure_renegotiation (which
is not guarded by MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION because it's used in initial
handshakes even with renegotiation disabled) is still excluded, as we don't
need it after the handshake.
- things related to Connection ID are added, as they weren't present at the
time the design document was written.
The exact format of the header (value of the bitflag indicating compile-time
options, whether and how to merge it with the serialized session header) will
be determined later.
Enforce restrictions indicated in the documentation.
This allows to make some simplifying assumptions (no need to worry about
saving IVs for CBC in TLS < 1.1, nor about saving handshake data) and
guarantees that all values marked as "forced" in the design document have the
intended values and can be skipped when serialising.
Some of the "forced" values are not checked because their value is a
consequence of other checks (for example, session_negotiated == NULL outside
handshakes). We do however check that session and transform are not NULL (even
if that's also a consequence of the initial handshake being over) as we're
going to dereference them and static analyzers may appreciate the info.
The previous code writes the content (the EC curve list) of the extension
before writing the extension length field at the beginning, which is common
in the library in places where we don't know the length upfront. Here,
however, we do traverse the EC curve list upfront to infer its length
and do the bounds check, so we can reorder the code to write the extension
linearly and hence improve readability.
This commit introduces the option MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC
which can be used to register a single supported elliptic curve
at compile time. It replaces the runtime configuration API
mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves() which allows to register a _list_
of supported elliptic curves.
In contrast to other options used to hardcode configuration options,
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC isn't a numeric option, but instead it's
only relevant if it's defined or not. To actually set the single
elliptic curve that should be supported, numeric options
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC_TLS_ID
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC_GRP_ID
must both be defined and provide the TLS ID and the Mbed TLS internal
ID and the chosen curve, respectively.
For both client/server the EC curve list is assumed not to be NULL:
- On the client-side, it's assumed when writing the
supported elliptic curve extension:
c54ee936d7/library/ssl_cli.c (L316)
- On the server, it is assumed when searching for a
suitable curve for the ECDHE exchange:
c54ee936d7/library/ssl_srv.c (L3200)
It is therefore not necessary to check this in mbedtls_ssl_check_curve().
ssl_write_supported_elliptic_curves_ext() is guarded by
```
#if defined(MBEDTLS_ECDH_C) || defined(MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C) || \
defined(MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE_ENABLED)
```
each of which implies (by check_config.h) that MBEDTLS_ECP_C
is enabled.
The fields
- mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::max_major_ver,
- mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::max_minor_ver
are used only for server-side RSA-based key exchanges
can be removed otherwise.
Reasons:
- If the transport type is fixed at compile-time,
mbedtls_ssl_read_version() and mbedtls_ssl_write_version()
are called with a compile-time determined `transport`
parameter, so the transport-type branch in their body
can be eliminated at compile-time.
- mbedtls_ssl_read_version() is called with addresses of
local variables, which so far need to be put on the stack
to be addressable. Inlining the call allows to read directly
into the registers holding these local variables.
This saves 60 bytes w.r.t. the measurement performed by
> ./scripts/baremetal.sh --rom --gcc
If the minor/major version is enforced at compile-time, the `major_ver`
and `minor_ver` fields in `mbedtls_ssl_context` are redundant and can
be removed.
This commit introduces the numeric compile-time constants
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MIN_MINOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MAX_MINOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MIN_MAJOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MAX_MAJOR_VER
which, when defined, overwrite the runtime configurable fields
mbedtls_ssl_config::min_major_ver etc. in the SSL configuration.
As for the preceding case of the ExtendedMasterSecret configuration,
it also introduces and puts to use getter functions for these variables
which evaluate to either a field access or the macro value, maintaining
readability of the code.
The runtime configuration API mbedtls_ssl_conf_{min|max}_version()
is kept for now but has no effect if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_XXX are set.
This is likely to be changed in a later commit but deliberately omitted
for now, in order to be able to study code-size benefits earlier in the
process.
This commit restructures ssl_ciphersuites.h and ssl_ciphersuites.c to
define all ciphersuite helper functions static inline in ssl_ciphersuites.h
if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is set, and to otherwise put their
definitions in ssl_ciphersuites.c.
If MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled, the type
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t
is logically a boolean (concretely realized as `unsigned char`),
containing the invalid handle and the unique valid handle, which
represents the single enabled ciphersuite.
The SSL session structure mbedtls_ssl_session contains an instance
of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t which is guaranteed to be valid,
and which is hence redundant in any two-valued implementation of
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t.
This commit replaces read-uses of
mbedtls_ssl_session::ciphersuite_info
by a getter functions which, and defines this getter function
either by just reading the field from the session structure
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is disabled), or by
returning the single valid ciphersuite handle (in case
MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled) and removing the
field from mbedtls_ssl_session in this case.
If MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled, it overwrites
the runtime configuration of supported ciphersuites, which
includes both the configuration API and the fields which are
used to store the configuration. Both are therefore no longer
needed and should be removed for the benefit of code-size,
memory usage, and API clarity (no accidental hiccup of runtime
vs. compile-time configuration possible).
The configuration API mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites() has
already been removed in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE,
and this commit removes the field
mbedtls_ssl_config::ciphersuite_list
which it updates.
If MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled, the type
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t
is logically a boolean (concretely realized as `unsigned char`),
containing the invalid handle and the unique valid handle, which
represents the single enabled ciphersuite.
The SSL handshake structure mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params contains
an instance of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t which is guaranteed
to be valid, and which is hence redundant in any two-valued
implementation of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t.
This commit replaces read-uses of
mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::ciphersuite_info
by a getter functions which, and defines this getter function
either by just reading the field from the handshake structure
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is disabled), or by
returning the single valid ciphersuite handle (in case
MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled) and removing the
field from mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params in this case.
This commit adapts the ClientHello parsing routines in ssl_srv.c
to use the ciphersuite traversal macros
MBEDTLS_SSL_BEGIN_FOR_EACH_CIPHERSUITE
MBEDTLS_SSL_END_FOR_EACH_CIPHERSUITE
introduced in the last commit, thereby making them work
both with and without MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE.
Another notable change concerns the ssl_ciphersuite_match:
Previous, this function would take a ciphersuite ID and a
pointer to a destination ciphersuite info structure as input
and write eithe NULL or a valid ciphersuite info structure
to that destination address, depending on whether the suite
corresponding to the given ID was suitable or not. The
function would always return 0 outside of a fatal error.
This commit changes this to ssl_ciphersuite_is_match() which
instead already takes a ciphersuite handle (which outside
of a hardcoded ciphersuite is the same as the ptr to a
ciphersuite info structure) and returns 0 or 1 (or a
negative error code in case of a fatal error) indicating
whether the suite corresponding to the handle was acceptable
or not. The conversion of the ciphersuite ID to the ciphersuite
info structure is done prior to calling ssl_ciphersuite_is_match().
This commit modifies the ClientHello writing routine ssl_write_client_hello
in ssl_cli.c to switch between
(a) listing all runtime configured ciphersuites
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is not defined)
(b) listing just the single hardcoded ciphersuite
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is defined)
The approach taken is to introduce a pair of helper macros
MBEDTLS_SSL_BEGIN_FOR_EACH_CIPHERSUITE( ssl, ver, info )
MBEDTLS_SSL_END_FOR_EACH_CIPHERSUITE
which when delimiting a block of code lead to that block of
code being run once for each ciphersuite that's enabled in the
context `ssl` and version `ver`, referenced through the (fresh)
`info` variable. Internally, this is implemented either through
a plain `for` loop traversing the runtime configured ciphersuite
list (if MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is disabled) or by just
hardcoding `info` to the single enabled ciphersuite (if
MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled).
These helper macros will prove useful whereever previous code
traversed the runtime configured ciphersuite list, but adaptations
of those occasions outside ClientHello writing are left for later
commits.
This commit is a step towards the goal of allowing to hardcode the choice
of a single ciphersuite at compile-time. The hoped for benefit of this is
that whereever a ciphersuite attribute is queried and checked against a
compile-time constant, the check can be recognized as either true or false
at compile-time, hence leading to a code-size reduction.
For this to work, the ciphersuite attribute getter functions
mbedtls_ssl_suite_get_xxx() will be modified to return something
the compiler can recognize as a compile-time constant. In particular,
in order to avoid relying on constant propagation abilities of the
compiler, these functions should ideally return constant symbols
(instead of, say, fields in a globally const structure instance).
This puts us in the following situation: On the one hand, there's the
array of ciphersuite information structures defining the attribute of
those ciphersuites the stack knows about. On the other hand, we need
direct access to those fields through constant symbols in the getter
functions.
In order to avoid any duplication of information, this commit exemplifies
how ciphersuites can be conveniently defined on the basis of macro
definitions, and how the corresponding instances of the ciphersuite
information structure can be auto-generated from this.
In the approach, to add support for a ciphersuite with official name
NAME (such as TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CCM_8), the following macro
constants need to be defined in ssl_ciphersuites.h:
MBEDTLS_SUITE__ NAME __ID
MBEDTLS_SUITE__ NAME __NAME
MBEDTLS_SUITE__ NAME __CIPHER
MBEDTLS_SUITE__ NAME __MAC
...
To make check-names.sh happy, one also needs a dummy macro
MBEDTLS_SUITE__ NAME()
These ciphersuite attribute values can then be queried via
MBEDTLS_SSL_SUITE_ID( NAME_MACRO )
...
where NAME_MACRO can be any macro expanding to a defined NAME.
Further, a convenience macro
MBEDTLS_SSL_SUITE_INFO( NAME_MACRO )
is provided that again takes a macro NAME_MACRO expanding to a
defined NAME, and itself expands to an instance of
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_info_t using the macro attributes
defined for NAME. This macro is then used in ssl_ciphersuites.c
when defining the array of known ciphersuite information structures,
(a) without duplicating the information, and (b) with increased
readability, because there's only one line for each ciphersuite.
This commit introduces an internal zero-cost abstraction layer for
SSL ciphersuites: Instead of addressing ciphersuites via pointers
to instances of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t and accessing their fields
directly, this commit introduces an opaque type
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t,
and getter functions
mbedtls_ssl_suite_get_xxx()
operating on ciphersuite handles.
The role of NULL is played by a new macro constant
MBEDTLS_SSL_CIPHERSUITE_INVALID_HANDLE
which results of functions returning handles can be checked against.
(For example, when doing a lookup of a ciphersuite from a peer-provided
ciphersuite ID in the per's Hello message).
The getter functions have the validity of the handle as a precondition
and are undefined if the handle is invalid.
So far, there's only one implementation of this abstraction layer, namely
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t being mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t const *
and
getter functions being field accesses.
In subsequent commits, however, the abstraction layer will be useful
to save code in the situation where only a single ciphersuite is enabled.

Changelog entry for HAVEGE fix
Prevent building the HAVEGE module on platforms where it doesn't work
Fix misuse of signed ints in the HAVEGE module
So far, the client-proposed list of elliptic curves was stored for the
duration of the entire handshake in a heap-allocated buffer referenced
from mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::curves. It is used in the following
places:
1) When the server chooses a suitable ciphersuite, it checks that
it has a certificate matching the ciphersuite; in particular, if
the ciphersuite involves ECDHE, the server needs an EC certificate
with a curve suitable for the client.
2) When performing the ECDHE key exchange, the server choose one
curve among those proposed by the client which matches the server's
own supported curve configuration.
This commit removes the hold back the entire client-side curve list
during the handshake, by performing (1) and (2) on during ClientHello
parsing, and in case of (2) only remembering the curve chosen for ECDHE
within mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params.
