The psa_tls12_prf_set_seed() and psa_tls12_prf_set_label() functions did
not work on platforms where malloc(0) returns NULL.
It does not affect the TLS use case but these PRFs are used in other
protocols as well and might not be used the same way. For example EAP
uses the TLS PRF with an empty secret. (This would not trigger the bug,
but is a strong indication that it is not safe to assume that certain
inputs to this function are not zero length.)
The conditional block includes the memcpy() call as well to avoid
passing a NULL pointer as a parameter resulting in undefined behaviour.
The current tests are already using zero length label and seed, there is
no need to add new test for this bug.
PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE means that the function was called on a context in a
bad state.
This error is something that can't happen while only using the PSA API and
therefore a PSA_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED is a more appropriate error
code.
The macro initialiser might leave bytes in the union unspecified.
Zeroising it in setup makes sure that the behaviour is the same
independently of the initialisation method used.
The TLS 1.2 pseudorandom function does a lot of distinct HMAC operations
with the same key. To save the battery and CPU cycles spent on
calculating the paddings and hashing the inner padding, we keep the
hash context in the status right after the inner padding having been
hashed and clone it as needed.
Technically we could have reused the old one for the new API, but then
we had to set an extra field during setup. The new version works when
all the fields that haven't been set explicitely are zero-initialised.
The specific key derivation input functions support a subset of the
input options and need to check it anyway. Checking it at the top level
is redundant, it brings a very little value and comes with a cost in
code size and maintainability.
This change affects the psa_key_derivation_s structure. With the buffer
removed from the union, it is empty if MBEDTLS_MD_C is not defined.
We can avoid undefined behaviour by adding a new dummy field that is
always present or make the whole union conditional on MBEDTLS_MD_C.
In this latter case the initialiser macro has to depend on MBEDTLS_MD_C
as well. Furthermore the first structure would be either
psa_hkdf_key_derivation_t or psa_tls12_prf_key_derivation_t both of
which are very deep and would make the initialisation macro difficult
to maintain, therefore we go with the first option.
Part of the tests are adapted in this commit, another part is already
covered by the derive_input tests and some of them are not applicable to
the new API (the new API does not request capacity at the setup stage).
The test coverage temporarily drops with this commit, the two test cases
conserning capacity will be re-added in a later commit.
In the 1.0 API some functionality has been split from the
psa_key_derivation_setup() function and is now done with the
psa_key_derivation_input_*() functions. The new tests maintain the
existing test coverage of this functionality.
We want to make the PRF context structure depend on this flag, but
crypto_extra.h is included after crypto_struct.h and having the
option at its original place would not affect crypto_struct.h.
Some key derivation operation contexts (like
psa_tls12_prf_key_derivation_t) directly contain buffers with parts of
the derived key. Erase them safely as part of the abort.
Add the compile time option PSA_PRE_1_0_KEY_DERIVATION. If this is not
turned on, then the function `psa_key_derivation()` is removed.
Most of the tests regarding key derivation haven't been adapted to the
new API yet and some of them have only been adapted partially. When this
new option is turned off, the tests using the old API and test cases
using the old API of partially adapted tests are skipped.
The sole purpose of this option is to make the transition to the new API
smoother. Once the transition is complete it can and should be removed
along with the old API and its implementation.
From the implementation point of view does not make much difference to
constrain the input order.
We constrain it because, this way the code is easier to review, the data
flow easier to understand and the implementations in general are easier
to validate.
The new PSA helper headers are needed at build time. When building
Mbed OS tests, the source files are copied to a directory under TESTS.
The required header files need to be present in this directory.
Create a new header file psa_helpers.h and put the one helper macro
that isn't specific to PSA crypto there. Use this header file in the
ITS test suite.
