If the ExtendedMasterSecret extension is configured at compile-time
by setting MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET and/or
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_ENFORCE_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET, the runtime
configuration APIs mbedtls_ssl_conf_extended_master_secret()
and mbedtls_ssl_conf_extended_master_secret_enforce() must
either be removed or modified to take no effect (or at most
check that the runtime value matches the hardcoded one, but
that would undermine the code-size benefits the hardcoding
is supposed to bring in the first place).
Previously, the API was kept but modified to have no effect.
While convenient for us because we don't have to adapt example
applications, this comes at the danger of users calling the runtime
configuration API, forgetting that the respective fields are
potentially already hardcoded at compile-time - and hence silently
using a configuration they don't intend to use.
This commit changes the approach to removing the configuration
API in case the respective field is hardcoded at compile-time,
and exemplifies it in the only case implemented so far, namely
the configuration of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
It adapts ssl_client2 and ssl_server2 by omitting the call to
the corresponding API if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_XXX are defined and
removing the command line parameters for the runtime configuration
of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
This commit is the first in a series demonstrating how code-size
can be reduced by hardcoding parts of the SSL configuration at
compile-time, focusing on the example of the configuration of
the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
The flexibility of an SSL configuration defined a runtime vs.
compile-time is necessary for the use of Mbed TLS as a
dynamically linked library, but is undesirable in constrained
environments because it introduces the following overhead:
- Definition of SSL configuration API (code-size overhead)
(and on the application-side: The API needs to be called)
- Additional fields in the SSL configuration (RAM overhead,
and potentially code-size overhead if structures grow
beyond immediate-offset bounds).
- Dereferencing is needed to obtain configuration settings.
- Code contains branches and potentially additional structure
fields to distinguish between different configurations.
Considering the example of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension,
this instantiates as follows:
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_extended_master_secret() and
mbedtls_ssl_conf_extended_master_secret_enforced()
are introduced to configure the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
- mbedtls_ssl_config contains bitflags `extended_ms` and
`enforce_extended_master_secret` reflecting the runtime
configuration of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
- Whenever we need to access these fields, we need a chain
of dereferences `ssl->conf->extended_ms`.
- Determining whether Client/Server should write the
ExtendedMasterSecret extension needs a branch
depending on `extended_ms`, and the state of the
ExtendedMasterSecret negotiation needs to be stored in a new
handshake-local variable mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::extended_ms.
Finally (that's the point of ExtendedMasterSecret) key derivation
depends on this handshake-local state of ExtendedMasterSecret.
All this is unnecessary if it is known at compile-time that the
ExtendedMasterSecret extension is used and enforced:
- No API calls are necessary because the configuration is fixed
at compile-time.
- No SSL config fields are necessary because there are corresponding
compile-time constants instead.
- Accordingly, no dereferences for field accesses are necessary,
and these accesses can instead be replaced by the corresponding
compile-time constants.
- Branches can be eliminated at compile-time because the compiler
knows the configuration. Also, specifically for the ExtendedMasterSecret
extension, the field `extended_ms` in the handshake structure
is unnecessary, because we can fail immediately during the Hello-
stage of the handshake if the ExtendedMasterSecret extension
is not negotiated; accordingly, the non-ExtendedMS code-path
can be eliminated from the key derivation logic.
A way needs to be found to allow fixing parts of the SSL configuration
at compile-time which removes this overhead in case it is used,
while at the same time maintaining readability and backwards
compatibility.
This commit proposes the following approach:
From the user perspective, for aspect of the SSL configuration
mbedtls_ssl_config that should be configurable at compile-time,
introduce a compile-time option MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_FIELD_NAME.
If this option is not defined, the field is kept and configurable
at runtime as usual. If the option is defined, the field is logically
forced to the value of the option at compile time.
Internally, read-access to fields in the SSL configuration which are
configurable at compile-time gets replaced by new `static inline` getter
functions which evaluate to the corresponding field access or to the
constant MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_FIELD_NAME, depending on whether the latter
is defined or not.
Write-access to fields which are configurable at compile-time needs
to be removed: Specifically, the corresponding API itself either
needs to be removed or replaced by a stub function without effect.
This commit takes the latter approach, which has the benefit of
not requiring any change on the example applications, but introducing
the risk of mismatching API calls and compile-time configuration,
in case a user doesn't correctly keep track of which parts of the
configuration have been fixed at compile-time, and which haven't.
Write-access for the purpose of setting defaults is simply omitted.
* origin/pr/2701:
Add all.sh component that exercises invalid_param checks
Remove mbedtls_param_failed from programs
Make it easier to define MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED as assert
Make test suites compatible with #include <assert.h>
Pass -m32 to the linker as well
Introduce MBEDTLS_X509_INFO to indicate the availability of the
mbedtls_x509_*_info() function and closely related APIs. When this is
not defined, also omit name and description from
mbedtls_oid_descriptor_t, and omit OID arrays, macros, and types that
are entirely unused. This saves several KB of code space.

This is enabled by default as we generally enable things by default unless
there's a reason not to (experimental, deprecated, security risk).
We need a compile-time option because, even though the functions themselves
can be easily garbage-collected by the linker, implementing them will require
saving 64 bytes of Client/ServerHello.random values after the handshake, that
would otherwise not be needed, and people who don't need this feature
shouldn't have to pay the price of increased RAM usage.
Introduce a new configuration option MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS_ASSERT,
which is disabled by default. When this option is enabled,
MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED defaults to assert rather than to a call to
mbedtls_param_failed, and <assert.h> is included.
This fixes#2671 (no easy way to make MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED assert)
without breaking backward compatibility. With this change,
`config.pl full` runs tests with MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED set to assert,
so the tests will fail if a validation check fails, and programs don't
need to provide their own definition of mbedtls_param_failed().
A positive option looks better, but comes with the following compatibility
issue: people using a custom config.h that is not based on the default
config.h and need TLS support would need to manually change their config in
order to still get TLS.
Work around that by making the public option negative. Internally the positive
option is used, though.
In the future (when preparing the next major version), we might want to switch
back to a positive option as this would be more consistent with other options
we have.
For now the option has no effect.
Adapted existing example config files. The fact that I needed to do this
highlights that this is a slightly incompatible change: existing users need to
update their existing custom configs (if standalone as opposed to based on the
default config) in order to still get the same behaviour.
The alternative would be to have a negative config option (eg NO_TLS or
DTLS_ONLY) but this doesn't fit as nicely with the existing options, so
hopefully the minor incompatibility is acceptable.
I don't think it's worth adding a new component to all.sh:
- builds with both DTLS and TLS are done in the default (and full) config
- TLS-only builds are done with eg config-suite-b.h in test-ref-configs
- a DTLS-only build is done with config-thread.h in test-ref-configs
- builds with none of them (and SSL_TLS_C enabled) are forbidden
This commit modifies the CID configuration API mbedtls_ssl_conf_cid_len()
to allow the configuration of the stack's behaviour when receiving an
encrypted DTLS record with unexpected CID.
Context:
The CID draft does not require that the length of CIDs used for incoming
records must not change in the course of a connection. Since the record
header does not contain a length field for the CID, this means that if
CIDs of varying lengths are used, the CID length must be inferred from
other aspects of the record header (such as the epoch) and/or by means
outside of the protocol, e.g. by coding its length in the CID itself.
Inferring the CID length from the record's epoch is theoretically possible
in DTLS 1.2, but it requires the information about the epoch to be present
even if the epoch is no longer used: That's because one should silently drop
records from old epochs, but not the entire datagrams to which they belong
(there might be entire flights in a single datagram, including a change of
epoch); however, in order to do so, one needs to parse the record's content
length, the position of which is only known once the CID length for the epoch
is known. In conclusion, it puts a significant burden on the implementation
to infer the CID length from the record epoch, which moreover mangles record
processing with the high-level logic of the protocol (determining which epochs
are in use in which flights, when they are changed, etc. -- this would normally
determine when we drop epochs).
Moreover, with DTLS 1.3, CIDs are no longer uniquely associated to epochs,
but every epoch may use a set of CIDs of varying lengths -- in that case,
it's even theoretically impossible to do record header parsing based on
the epoch configuration only.
We must therefore seek a way for standalone record header parsing, which
means that we must either (a) fix the CID lengths for incoming records,
or (b) allow the application-code to configure a callback to implement
an application-specific CID parsing which would somehow infer the length
of the CID from the CID itself.
Supporting multiple lengths for incoming CIDs significantly increases
complexity while, on the other hand, the restriction to a fixed CID length
for incoming CIDs (which the application controls - in contrast to the
lengths of the CIDs used when writing messages to the peer) doesn't
appear to severely limit the usefulness of the CID extension.
Therefore, the initial implementation of the CID feature will require
a fixed length for incoming CIDs, which is what this commit enforces,
in the following way:
In order to avoid a change of API in case support for variable lengths
CIDs shall be added at some point, we keep mbedtls_ssl_set_cid(), which
includes a CID length parameter, but add a new API mbedtls_ssl_conf_cid_len()
which applies to an SSL configuration, and which fixes the CID length that
any call to mbetls_ssl_set_cid() which applies to an SSL context that is bound
to the given SSL configuration must use.
While this creates a slight redundancy of parameters, it allows to
potentially add an API like mbedtls_ssl_conf_cid_len_cb() later which
could allow users to register a callback which dynamically infers the
length of a CID at record header parsing time, without changing the
rest of the API.
We called in tinycrypt in the file names, but uecc in config.h, all.sh and
other places, which could be confusing. Just use tinycrypt everywhere because
that's the name of the project and repo where we took the files.
The changes were made using the following commands (with GNU sed and zsh):
sed -i 's/uecc/tinycrypt/g' **/*.[ch] tests/scripts/all.sh
sed -i 's/MBEDTLS_USE_UECC/MBEDTLS_USE_TINYCRYPT/g' **/*.[ch] tests/scripts/all.sh scripts/config.pl
It was inconsistent between files: sometimes 3 arguments, sometimes one.
Align to 1 argument for the macro and 3 for the function, because:
- we don't need 3 arguments for the macro, it can add __FILE__ and __LINE__
in its expansion, while the function needs them as parameters to be correct;
- people who re-defined the macro should have flexibility, and 3 arguments
can give the impression they they don't have as much as they actually do;
- the design document has the macro with 1 argument, so let's stick to that.
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

also clarified test naming.
This commit introduces a compile time constant MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_MAX_BUFFERING
to mbedtls/config.h which allows the user to control the cumulative size of
all heap buffer allocated for the purpose of reassembling and buffering
handshake messages.
It is put to use by introducing a new field `total_bytes_buffered` to
the buffering substructure of `mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params` that keeps
track of the total size of heap allocated buffers for the purpose of
reassembly and buffering at any time. It is increased whenever a handshake
message is buffered or prepared for reassembly, and decreased when a
buffered or fully reassembled message is copied into the input buffer
and passed to the handshake logic layer.
This commit does not yet include future epoch record buffering into
account; this will be done in a subsequent commit.
Also, it is now conceivable that the reassembly of the next expected
handshake message fails because too much buffering space has already
been used up for future messages. This case currently leads to an
error, but instead, the stack should get rid of buffered messages
to be able to buffer the next one. This will need to be implemented
in one of the next commits.

For the situation where the mbedTLS device has limited RAM, but the
other end of the connection doesn't support the max_fragment_length
extension. To be spec-compliant, mbedTLS has to keep a 16384 byte
incoming buffer. However the outgoing buffer can be made smaller without
breaking spec compliance, and we save some RAM.
See comments in include/mbedtls/config.h for some more details.
(The lower limit of outgoing buffer size is the buffer size used during
handshake/cert negotiation. As the handshake is half-duplex it might
even be possible to store this data in the "incoming" buffer during the
handshake, which would save even more RAM - but it would also be a lot
hackier and error-prone. I didn't really explore this possibility, but
thought I'd mention it here in case someone sees this later on a mission
to jam mbedTLS into an even tinier RAM footprint.)
The XTS configuration option MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_XTS currently only enables
XTS for AES. So, don't say it enables XTS for "symmetric ciphers", just
AES. This helps to avoid being misleading.
AES-XEX is a building block for other cryptographic standards and not yet a
standard in and of itself. We'll just provide the standardized AES-XTS
algorithm, and not AES-XEX. The AES-XTS algorithm and interface provided
can be used to perform the AES-XEX algorithm when the length of the input
is a multiple of the AES block size.
