The previous comment in ecp.h that only functions that take a "restart
context" argument can restart was wrong due to ECDH and SSL functions.
Changing that criterion to "document says if can return IN PROGRESS".
This requires updating the documentation of the SSL functions to mention this
explicitly, but it's something we really ought to do anyway, a bit
embarrassing that this wasn't done already - callers need to know what
`MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_xxx` error codes to special-case. Note that the documentation
of the relevant functions was in a suboptimal state, so it was improved in the
process - it could use some more improvement, but only the changes that helped
cleanly insert the info about the IN_PROGRESS part were done here.
Also, while updating the ecp.h comment, I noticed several functions in the
ECDH module were wrongfully documented as restartable, which is probably a
left-over from the days before `mbedtls_ecdh_enable_restart()` was introduced.
Fixing that as well, to make the criterion used in ecp.h correct.
When using a primality testing function the tolerable error rate depends
on the scheme in question, the required security strength and wether it
is used for key generation or parameter validation. To support all use
cases we need more flexibility than what the old API provides.
The FIPS 186-4 RSA key generation prescribes lower failure probability
in primality testing and this makes key generation slower. We enable the
caller to decide between compliance/security and performance.
This python script calculates the base two logarithm of the formulas in
HAC Fact 4.48 and was used to determine the breakpoints and number of
rounds:
def mrpkt_log_2(k, t):
if t <= k/9.0:
return 3*math.log(k,2)/2+t-math.log(t,2)/2+4-2*math.sqrt(t*k)
elif t <= k/4.0:
c1 = math.log(7.0*k/20,2)-5*t
c2 = math.log(1/7.0,2)+15*math.log(k,2)/4.0-k/2.0-2*t
c3 = math.log(12*k,2)-k/4.0-3*t
return max(c1, c2, c3)
else:
return math.log(1/7.0)+15*math.log(k,2)/4.0-k/2.0-2*t
The Cortex M4, M7 MCUs and the Cortex A CPUs support the ARM DSP
instructions, and especially the umaal instruction which greatly
speed up MULADDC code. In addition the patch switched the ASM
constraints to registers instead of memory, giving the opportunity
for the compiler to load them the best way.
The speed improvement is variable depending on the crypto operation
and the CPU. Here are the results on a Cortex M4, a Cortex M7 and a
Cortex A8. All tests have been done with GCC 6.3 using -O2. RSA uses a
RSA-4096 key. ECDSA uses a secp256r1 curve EC key pair.
+--------+--------+--------+
| M4 | M7 | A8 |
+----------------+--------+--------+--------+
| ECDSA signing | +6.3% | +7.9% | +4.1% |
+----------------+--------+--------+--------+
| RSA signing | +43.7% | +68.3% | +26.3% |
+----------------+--------+--------+--------+
| RSA encryption | +3.4% | +9.7% | +3.6% |
+----------------+--------+--------+--------+
| RSA decryption | +43.0% | +67.8% | +22.8% |
+----------------+--------+--------+--------+
I ran the whole testsuite on the Cortex A8 Linux environment, and it
all passes.
It should be valid to RSASSA-PSS sign a SHA-512 hash with a 1024-bit or
1032-bit RSA key, but with the salt size being always equal to the hash
size, this isn't possible: the key is too small.
To enable use of hashes that are relatively large compared to the key
size, allow reducing the salt size to no less than the hash size minus 2
bytes. We don't allow salt sizes smaller than the hash size minus 2
bytes because that too significantly changes the security guarantees the
library provides compared to the previous implementation which always
used a salt size equal to the hash size. The new calculated salt size
remains compliant with FIPS 186-4.
We also need to update the "hash too large" test, since we now reduce
the salt size when certain key sizes are used. We used to not support
1024-bit keys with SHA-512, but now we support this by reducing the salt
size to 62. Update the "hash too large" test to use a 1016-bit RSA key
with SHA-512, which still has too large of a hash because we will not
reduce the salt size further than 2 bytes shorter than the hash size.
The RSA private key used for the test was generated using "openssl
genrsa 1016" using OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre8.

Yotta is no longer supported by Mbed TLS, so has been removed. Specifically, the
following changes have been made:
* references to yotta have been removed from the main readme and build
instructions
* the yotta module directory and build script has been removed
* yotta has been removed from test scripts such as all.sh and check-names.sh
* yotta has been removed from other files that that referenced it such as the
doxyfile and the bn_mul.h header
* yotta specific configurations and references have been removed from config.h
Setting the dh_flag to 1 used to indicate that the caller requests safe
primes from mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime. We generalize the functionality to
make room for more flags in that parameter.
None of the currently defined MAC algorithms have a MAC size that
depends on the key size, so the key_bits parameter is unused. The
key_type parameter may be unused on an implementation where there is
no block cipher MAC. Declare the key_type and key_bits parameters as
used so that callers who define a variable just for this don't risk
getting "unused variable" warnings.
The macro was used under the name PSA_ALG_IS_BLOCK_CIPHER_MAC but
defined as PSA_ALG_IS_CIPHER_MAC. That wouldn't have worked if we used
this macro (we currently don't but it may become useful).
TLS now defines named curves in the "TLS Supported Groups registry",
but we're using the encoding only for elliptic curves, so don't
include values that aren't named curve.
While we're at it, upgrade the reference to the shiny new RFC 8422.
OFB and CFB are streaming modes. XTS is a not a cipher mode but it
doesn't use a separate padding step. This leaves only CBC as a block
cipher mode that needs a padding step.
Since CBC is the only mode that uses a separate padding step, and is
likely to remain the only mode in the future, encode the padding mode
directly in the algorithm constant, rather than building up an
algorithm value from a chaining mode and a padding mode. This greatly
simplifies the interface as well as some parts of the implementation.
There were only 5 categories (now 4). Reduce the category mask from 7
bits to 3.
Combine unformatted, not-necessarily-uniform keys (HMAC, derivation)
with raw data.
Reintroduce a KEY_TYPE_IS_UNSTRUCTURED macro (which used to exist
under the name KEY_TYPE_IS_RAW_DATA macro) for key types that don't
have any structure, including both should-be-uniform keys (such as
block cipher and stream cipher keys) and not-necessarily-uniform
keys (such as HMAC keys and secrets for key derivation).
These structs are using bitfields of length one, which can only represent 0 and -1 for signed ints.
Changing these to unsigned int lets them represent 0 and 1, which is what we want.
MBEDTLS_PK_WRITE_C only requires either MBEDTLS_RSA_C or MBEDTLS_ECP_C to be defined.
Added wrappers to handle the cases where only one has been defined.
Moved mbedtls_pk_init to be within the ifdefs, so it's only called if appropriate.
* Broken link #PSA_ALG_SHA_256
* Duplicate group name "generators"
* Missing documentation in psa_generate_key_extra_rsa due to bad magic
comment marker
New key type PSA_KEY_TYPE_DERIVE. New usage flag PSA_KEY_USAGE_DERIVE.
New function psa_key_derivation.
No key derivation algorithm is implemented yet. The code may not
compile with -Wunused.
Write some unit test code for psa_key_derivation. Most of it cannot be
used yet due to the lack of a key derivation algorithm.
Add an API for byte generators: psa_crypto_generator_t,
PSA_CRYPTO_GENERATOR_INIT, psa_crypto_generator_init,
psa_get_generator_capacity, psa_generator_read,
psa_generator_import_key, psa_generator_abort.
This commit does not yet implement any generator algorithm, it only
provides the framework. This code may not compile with -Wunused.
This is the most common mode and the only mode that Mbed TLS functions
fully supports (mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_verify_ext can verify
signatures with a different salt length).
Explicitly state that calling abort is safe after initializing to
zero.
Explicitly state that calling abort on an inactive operation is safe,
and replace "active" by "initialized" in the description of the
parameter.
Get rid of the recommendation for implementers to try to handle
uninitialized structures safely. It's good advice in principle but
cannot be achieved in a robust way and the wording was confusing.
No common signature algorithm uses a salt (RSA-PKCS#1v1.5, RSA-PSS,
DSA, ECDSA, EdDSA). We don't even take an IV for MAC whereas MAC
algorithms with IV are uncommon but heard of. So remove the salt
parameter from psa_asymmetric_sign and psa_asymmetric_verify.
We failed check-names.sh due to using a define which wasn't described or
defined anywhere. Even though we won't realistically enable
MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SPM via the configuration system (and will do it from
PSA Crypto SPM tooling instead), add a description of the configuration to
config.h as good practice. Exclude MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SPM from the "full"
configuration as well.
Make function names for multipart operations more consistent (cipher
edition).
Rename symmetric cipher multipart operation functions so that they all
start with psa_cipher_:
* psa_encrypt_setup -> psa_cipher_encrypt_setup
* psa_decrypt_setup -> psa_cipher_decrypt_setup
* psa_encrypt_set_iv -> psa_cipher_set_iv
* psa_encrypt_generate_iv -> psa_cipher_generate_iv
Make function names for multipart operations more consistent (MAC
setup edition).
Split psa_mac_setup into two functions psa_mac_sign_setup and
psa_mac_verify_setup. These functions behave identically except that
they require different usage flags on the key. The goal of the split
is to enforce the key policy during setup rather than at the end of
the operation (which was a bit of a hack).
In psa_mac_sign_finish and psa_mac_verify_finish, if the operation is
of the wrong type, abort the operation before returning BAD_STATE.
This requires defining a maximum RSA key size, since the RSA key size
is the signature size. Enforce the maximum RSA key size when importing
or generating a key.
Macros such as PSA_HASH_SIZE whose definitions can be the same
everywhere except in implementations that support non-standard
algorithms remain in crypto.h, at least for the time being.
This header will contain macros that calculate buffer sizes, whose
semantics are standardized but whose definitions are
implementation-specific because they depend on the available algorithms
and on some permitted buffer size tolerances.
Move size macros from crypto_struct.h to crypto_sizes.h, because these
definitions need to be available both in the frontend and in the
backend, whereas structures have different contents.
Change the representation of an ECDSA signature from the ASN.1 DER
encoding used in TLS and X.509, to the concatenation of r and s
in big-endian order with a fixed size. A fixed size helps memory and
buffer management and this representation is generally easier to use
for anything that doesn't require the ASN.1 representation. This is
the same representation as PKCS#11 (Cryptoki) except that PKCS#11
allows r and s to be truncated (both to the same length), which
complicates the implementation and negates the advantage of a
fixed-size representation.
* Distinguish randomized ECDSA from deterministic ECDSA.
* Deterministic ECDSA needs to be parametrized by a hash.
* Randomized ECDSA only uses the hash for the initial hash step,
but add ECDSA(hash) algorithms anyway so that all the signature
algorithms encode the initial hashing step.
* Add brief documentation for the ECDSA signature mechanisms.
* Also define DSA signature mechanisms while I'm at it. There were
already key types for DSA.
* PSS needs to be parametrized by a hash.
* Don't use `_MGF1` in the names of macros for OAEP and PSS. No one
ever uses anything else.
* Add brief documentation for the RSA signature mechanisms.
Doxygen interprets `\param` as starting documentation for a new param, or
to extend a previously started `\param` documentation when the same
reference is used. The intention here was to reference the function
parameter, not extend the previous documentation. Use `\p` to refer to
function parameters.
It isn't used to define other macros and it doesn't seem that useful
for users. Remove it, we can reintroduce it if needed.
Define a similar function key_type_is_raw_bytes in the implementation
with a clear semantics: it's a key that's represented as a struct
raw_data.
When calling psa_generate_key, pass the size of the parameters buffer
explicitly. This makes calls more verbose but less error-prone. This
also has the benefit that in an implementation with separation, the
frontend knows how many bytes to send to the backend without needing
to know about each key type.
Switch the default config.h back to the upstream version, plus the new
feature from this branch MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C, plus MBEDTLS_CMAC_C
because it's a features we're using to explore the API design but
that's off by default in Mbed TLS.
Having a crypto-only version saved a bit of developer time, and it's
something we want to ship, but we also need a full build with TLS to
work, and the CI scripts assume that the default build includes TLS.
As a consequence, list-macros.sh no longer needs a special case to
pass check-names.sh.
The default config.h omits non-crypto features. Remove some features
that had been accidentally left in but have dependencies that had been
removed.
Also update configs/config-psa-crypto.h to match
include/mbedtls/config.h. They were historically identical but started
diverging when the feature-psa branch was rebased on top of a more
recent upstream.
Now the code builds with the "full" config.
Instead of rolling our own list of elliptic curve identifiers, use one
from somewhere. Pick TLS because it's the right size (16 bits) and
it's as good as any.

Previous commits attempted to use `gmtime_s()` for IAR systems; however,
this attempt depends on the use of C11 extensions which lead to incompatibility
with other pieces of the library, such as the use of `memset()` which is
being deprecated in favor of `memset_s()` in C11.

All the conflicts are concurrent additions where the order doesn't
matter. I put the code from feature-psa (key policy) before the code
from PR #13 (key lifetime).
psa_get_key_lifetime() behavior changed regarding empty slots, now
it return the lifetime of and empty slots. Documentation in header
file updated accordingly.
Conflict resolution:
* `tests/suites/test_suite_psa_crypto.data`: in the new tests from PR #14,
rename `PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_RAW` to `PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW` as
was done in PR #15 in the other branch.
When no algorithms are present in a category (e.g. no AEAD algorithm),
the union in the corresponding operation structure was empty, which is
not valid C. Add a dummy field to avoid this.
