Gilles Peskine 3d67365ef7 Add a key_buffer_length output to "get_builtin_key"
While builtin keys will often have a fixed-size context, this is not
necessarily the case, so the "get_builtin_key" entry point needs to
return the size of the actual key context.

Gilles Peskine 739e08a68d Keystore format stability test strategy
Initial revision.

Save-compare-load approach: the test case data contains attributes of
the object under test and the expected file content. Create the
object, save it, check that the file has the expected content, load
the file and check that the new object has the expected attributes.

Gilles Peskine 6a530e8d26 Random driver: make initial_entropy_size mandatory
If a random driver has a built-in entropy source and doesn't need an
external entropy source, make the driver author declare this
explicitly, rather than it being a less secure default.

Gilles Peskine 8d5092c11f get_random: no output on error
The get_random entry point was allowed to return partial data on both
PSA_SUCCESS and PSA_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_ENTROPY, but there was no
meaningful difference between the two. Keep it simple: PSA_SUCCESS is
success but can be partial, and PSA_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_ENTROPY is an
error with no output.

Gilles Peskine a14326f054 Make add_entropy optional
A random generation driver does not need to support entropy injection.
This will limit it to platforms where the RNG peripheral is the sole
entropy source and without an RNG seed saved into persistent storage.

Gilles Peskine 0e3b7ced4c Don't require a call to add_entropy when 0 bytes are needed
If an RNG peripheral includes an entropy source, it would presumably
declare "initial_entropy_size" and "reseed_entropy_size" to be 0. In
this case, don't require the core to call "add_entropy".

Gilles Peskine 5263e1ecdd Transparent drivers can have get_entropy as well
The `get_entropy` entry point can be provided by multiple transparent
drivers, and the core will call all of them. But apart from that,
`get_entropy` doesn't involve an opaque key or a location, so it can
be in a transparent driver.

Gilles Peskine e80978a260 Specification for random generation and entropy drivers
Transparent drivers may provide a DRBG interface through "add_entropy"
and "get_random" entry points. This interface may also be used with a
non-deterministic generator, for chips that include a TRNG.

Opaque driver may provide a "get_entropy" entry point.

Gilles Peskine 1fc4c8d11b Let get_builtin_key be called to retrieve the key's attributes
Allow the core to call the "get_builtin_key" entry point to retrieve
the attributes of a built-in key. This is useful to implement
psa_get_key_attributes(), and also when the key data buffer's size
depends on the key type and size.

Having a time stamp identifying each revision of the document is

Gilles Peskine db6b03b4f2 Remove old-style accelerator and entropy driver interfaces
The driver interfaces described in crypto_accel_driver.h and
crypto_entropy_driver.h are no longer being worked on. We do not
intend to finish the design of these interfaces or to implement them
in Mbed TLS. They have been superseded by the unified driver
interface (docs/proposed/psa-driver-interface.md), which is being
actively worked on both to finalize the specification and to implement
it in Mbed TLS.

The partially implemented dynamic secure element interface is staying
for now.
