Currently we draw pseudo-random numbers at the beginning and end of the main
loop. With ECP_RESTARTABLE, it's possible that between those two occasions we
returned from the multiplication function, hence lost our internal DRBG
context that lives in this function's stack frame. This would result in the
same pseudo-random numbers being used for blinding in multiple places. While
it's not immediately clear that this would give rise to an attack, it's also
absolutely not clear that it doesn't. So let's avoid that by using a DRBG
context that lives inside the restart context and persists across
return/resume cycles. That way the RESTARTABLE case uses exactly the
same pseudo-random numbers as the non-restartable case.
Testing and compile-time options:
- The case ECP_RESTARTABLE && !ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG is already tested by
component_test_no_use_psa_crypto_full_cmake_asan.
- The case ECP_RESTARTABLE && ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG didn't have a pre-existing
test so a component is added.
Testing and runtime options: when ECP_RESTARTABLE is enabled, the test suites
already contain cases where restart happens and cases where it doesn't
(because the operation is short enough or because restart is disabled (NULL
restart context)).

While it seems cleaner and more convenient to set it in the top-level
mbedtls_ecp_mul() function, the existence of the restartable option changes
things - when it's enabled the drbg context needs to be saved in the restart
context (more precisely in the restart_mul sub-context), which can only be
done when it's allocated, which is in the curve-specific mul function.
This commit only internal drbg management from mbedtls_ecp_mul() to
ecp_mul_mxz() and ecp_mul_comb(), without modifying behaviour (even internal),
and a future commit will modify the ecp_mul_comb() version to handle restart
properly.

The case of MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE isn't handled correctly yet: in that case
the DRBG instance should persist when resuming the operation. This will be
addressed in the next commit.
When both CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG are available, CTR_DRBG is preferred since
both are suitable but CTR_DRBG tends to be faster and I needed a tie-breaker.
There are currently three possible cases to test:
- NO_INTERNAL_RNG is set -> tested in test_ecp_no_internal_rng
- it's unset and CTR_DRBG is available -> tested in the default config
- it's unset and CTR_DRBG is disabled -> tested in
test_ecp_internal_rng_no_ctr_drbg

ecp_double_add_mxz wrongly does an MPI addition followed by a call to
MOD_MUL instead of MOD_ADD. This is more visible since the
mbedtls_mpi_xxx_mod functions have been added in commit 3b3b34f608
("Replace some macros by functions").
Fix that by using mbedtls_mpi_add_mod instead. The testsuite still
passes after that change.

The signature of mbedtls_mpi_cmp_mpi_ct() meant to support using it in
place of mbedtls_mpi_cmp_mpi(). This meant full comparison functionality
and a signed result.
To make the function more universal and friendly to constant time
coding, we change the result type to unsigned. Theoretically, we could
encode the comparison result in an unsigned value, but it would be less
intuitive.
Therefore we won't be able to represent the result as unsigned anymore
and the functionality will be constrained to checking if the first
operand is less than the second. This is sufficient to support the
current use case and to check any relationship between MPIs.
The only drawback is that we need to call the function twice when
checking for equality, but this can be optimised later if an when it is
needed.
Replace some frequently-used macros by inline functions: instead of
calling MOD_{ADD,SUB,MUL} after the mbedtls_mpi_{add,sub,mul}_mpi,
call a function mbedtls_mpi_xxx_mod that does the same.
In the baremetal config, with "gcc -Os -mthumb -mcpu=cortex-m0plus",
ecp.o goes down from 13878 bytes to 12234.
No noticeable performance change for benchmarks on x86_64 with either
"gcc -O2" or "gcc -Os".
The window size variable in ecp_pick_window_size() can take values
4, 5 or 6, but we clamp it not to exceed the value of
MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE. If that is 6 (default) or higher, the
static analyzer will point out that the test:
w > MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE always evaluates to false.
This commit removes the test for the cases of the window size
large enough to fit all the potential values of the variable.

The ecp_get_type function comes handy in higher level modules and tests
as well. It is not inline anymore, to enable alternative implementations
to implement it for themselves.
mbedtls_ecp_read_key() module returned without an error even when
importing keys corresponding to the requested group was not
implemented.
We change this and return an error when the requested group is not
supported and make the remaining import/export functions more robust.
Renamed the tests because they are explicitly testing Curve25519 and
nothing else. Improved test coverage, test documentation and extended
in-code documentation with a specific reference to the standard as well.
The library is able to perform computations and cryptographic schemes on
curves with x coordinate ladder representation. Here we add the
capability to export such points.
The private keys used in ECDH differ in the case of Weierstrass and
Montgomery curves. They have different constraints, the former is based
on big endian, the latter little endian byte order. The fundamental
approach is different too:
- Weierstrass keys have to be in the right interval, otherwise they are
rejected.
- Any byte array of the right size is a valid Montgomery key and it
needs to be masked before interpreting it as a number.
Historically it was sufficient to use mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() to read
private keys, but as a preparation to improve support for Montgomery
curves we add mbedtls_ecp_read_key() to enable uniform treatment of EC
keys.
For the masking the `mbedtls_mpi_set_bit()` function is used. This is
suboptimal but seems to provide the best trade-off at this time.
Alternatives considered:
- Making a copy of the input buffer (less efficient)
- removing the `const` constraint from the input buffer (breaks the api
and makes it less user friendly)
- applying the mask directly to the limbs (violates the api between the
modules and creates and unwanted dependency)
The library is able to perform computations and cryptographic schemes on
curves with x coordinate ladder representation. Here we add the
capability to import such points.
This commit improves hygiene and formatting of macro definitions
throughout the library. Specifically:
- It adds brackets around parameters to avoid unintended
interpretation of arguments, e.g. due to operator precedence.
- It adds uses of the `do { ... } while( 0 )` idiom for macros that
can be used as commands.
Additional changes to temporarily enable running tests:
ssl_srv.c and test_suite_ecdh use mbedtls_ecp_group_load instead of
mbedtls_ecdh_setup
test_suite_ctr_drbg uses mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update instead of
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret
Function calls to alternative implementations have to follow certain
rules in order to preserve correct functionality. To avoid accidentally
breaking these rules we state them explicitly in the ECP module for
ourselves and every contributor to see.
We initialized the ECC hardware before calling
mbedtls_ecp_mul_shortcuts(). This in turn calls
mbedtls_ecp_mul_restartable(), which initializes and frees the hardware
too. This issue has been introduced by recent changes and caused some
accelerators to hang.
We move the initialization after the mbedtle_ecp_mul_shortcuts() calls
to avoid double initialization.
`mbedtls_ecp_tls_read_group()` both parses the group ID and loads the
group into the structure provided. We want to support alternative
implementations of ECDH in the future and for that we need to parse the
group ID without populating an `mbedtls_ecp_group` structure (because
alternative implementations might not use that).
This commit moves the part that parses the group ID to a new function.
There is no need to test the new function directly, because the tests
for `mbedtls_ecp_tls_read_group()` are already implicitly testing it.
There is no intended change in behaviour in this commit.
This commit modifies a bounds check in `mbedtls_ecp_check_budget()` to
be correct even if the requested number of ECC operations would overflow
the operation counter.

In ecp_mul_comb(), if (!p_eq_g && grp->T == NULL) and then ecp_precompute_comb() fails (which can
happen due to OOM), then the new array of points T will be leaked (as it's newly allocated, but
hasn't been asigned to grp->T yet).
Symptom was a memory leak in ECDHE key exchange under low memory conditions.
The IAR compiler doesn't like it when we assign an int to an enum variable.

This commit removes all the static occurrencies of the function
mbedtls_zeroize() in each of the individual .c modules. Instead the
function has been moved to utils.h that is included in each of the
modules.
The function mbedtls_ecp_gen_keypair_base did not wipe the stack buffer used to
hold the private exponent before returning. This commit fixes this by not using
a stack buffer in the first place but instead calling mpi_fill_random directly
to acquire the necessary random MPI.
If rsm != NULL then the curve type has to be Short Weierstrass, as we don't
implement restartable Montgomery now. If and when we do, then it's better to
check for the subcontext only, and not for the curve type.
Exactly one of three ways will be used, so make that clear by using an
if 1 else if 2 else 3 structure.
While at it, don't initialize variables at declaration, just to make extra
sure they're properly initialized afterwards in all code paths.
Systematically assign state just before the next operation that may return,
rather that just after the previous one. This makes things more local. (For
example, previously precompute_comb() has to handle a state reset for
mul_comb_core(), a kind of coupling that's best avoided.)
Note that this change doesn't move the location of state updates relative
to any potential return point, which is all that matters.
Incrementing the state is error-prone as we can end up doing it too many times
(loops) or not enough (skipped branches), or just make programming mistakes
(eg. the state was incremented twice at the end, so it ended up with a value
not in the enum...)
This is the first step of the rework, the next one will rationalize where the
state assignments are done.
The call would anyway check for pointer equality and return early, but it
doesn't hurt to save a function call, and also this follows more uniformly the
pattern that those two lines go together:
#if defined(MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTBLE)
if( rs_ctx != NULL && ...
(Unrelated to restartable work, just noticed while staring at the code.)
Checking at the end is inefficient as we might give up when we just generated
a valid signature or key.
Otherwise code that uses these functions in other modules will have to do:
#if defined(MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE)
ret = do_stuff( there, may, be, many, args );
#else
ret = do_stuff( their, may, be, namy, args, rs_ctx );
#fi
and there is a risk that the arg list will differ when code is updated, and
this might not be caught immediately by tests because this depends on a
config.h compile-time option which are harder to test.
Always declaring the restartable variants of the API functions avoids this
problem; the cost in ROM size should be negligible.
This will be useful for restartable ECDH and ECDSA. Currently they call
mbedtls_ecp_gen_keypair(); one could make that one restartable, but that means
adding its own sub-context, while ECDH and ECDSA (will) have their own
contexts already, so switching to this saves one extra context.
This should only be done in the top-level function.
Also, we need to know if we indeed are the top-level function or not: for
example, when mbedtls_ecp_muladd() calls mbedtls_ecp_mul(), the later should
not reset ops_done. This is handled by the "depth" parameter in the restart
context.
When a restartable function calls another restartable function, the current
ops_count needs to be shared to avoid either doing too many operations or
returning IN_PROGRESS uselessly. So it needs to be in the top-level context
rather than a specific sub-context.
This was intended to detect aborted operations, but now that case is handled
by the caller freeing the restart context.
Also, as the internal sub-context is managed by the callee, no need for the
caller to free/reset the restart context between successful calls.
Following discussion in the team, it was deemed preferable for the restart
context to be explicitly managed by the caller.
This commits in the first in a series moving in that directly: it starts by
only changing the public API, while still internally using the old design.
Future commits in that series will change to the new design internally.
The test function was simplified as it no longer makes sense to test for some
memory management errors since that responsibility shifted to the caller.
It's going to be convenient for each function that can generate a
MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_IN_PROGRESS on its own (as opposed to just passing it around)
to have its own restart context that they can allocate and free as needed
independently of the restart context of other functions.
For example ecp_muladd() is going to have its own restart_muladd context that
in can managed, then when it calls ecp_mul() this will manage a restart_mul
context without interfering with the caller's context.
So, things need to be renames to avoid future name clashes.
From a user's perspective, you want a "basic operation" to take approximately
the same amount of time regardless of the curve size, especially since max_ops
is a global setting: otherwise if you pick a limit suitable for P-384 then
when you do an operation on P-256 it will return way more often than needed.
Said otherwise, a user is actually interested in actual running time, and we
do the API in terms of "basic ops" for practical reasons (no timers) but then
we should make sure it's a good proxy for running time.
Ok, so the original plan was to make mpi_inv_mod() the smallest block that
could not be divided. Updated plan is that the smallest block will be either:
- ecp_normalize_jac_many() (one mpi_inv_mod() + a number or mpi_mul_mpi()s)
- or the second loop in ecp_precompute_comb()
With default settings, the minimum non-restartable sequence is:
- for P-256: 222M
- for P-384: 341M
This is within a 2-3x factor of originally planned value of 120M. However,
that value can be approached, at the cost of some performance, by setting
ECP_WINDOW_SIZE (w below) lower than the default of 6. For example:
- w=4 -> 166M for any curve (perf. impact < 10%)
- w=2 -> 130M for any curve (perf. impact ~ 30%)
My opinion is that the current state with w=4 is a good compromise, and the
code complexity need to attain 120M is not warranted by the 1.4 factor between
that and the current minimum with w=4 (which is close to optimal perf).
This is the easy part: with the current steps, all information between steps
is passed via T which is already saved. Next we'll need to split at least the
first loop, and maybe calls to normalize_jac_many() and/or the second loop.
Separating main computation from filling of the auxiliary array makes things
clearer and easier to restart as we don't have to remember the in-progress
auxiliary array.
