Don't calculate the bit-size of the initially generated random number.
This is not necessary to reach the desired distribution of private
keys, and creates a (tiny) side channel opportunity.
This changes the way the result is derived from the random number, but
does not affect the resulting distribution.

The library rejected an RNG input of all-bits-zero, which led to the
key 2^{254} (for Curve25519) having a 31/32 chance of being generated
compared to other keys. This had no practical impact because the
probability of non-compliance was 2^{-256}, but needlessly
complicated the code.
The exception was added in 98e28a74e3 to
avoid the case where b - 1 wraps because b is 0. Instead, change the
comparison code to avoid calculating b - 1.

Test the exact output from known RNG input. This is overly
constraining, but ensures that the code has good properties.

Write a simple unit test for mbedtls_ecp_muladd().
Add just one pair of test cases. #2 fails since PR #3512. Thanks to
Philippe Antoine (catenacyber) for the test case, found by ecfuzzer.

They did not match their description, probably due to a botched manual
endianness conversion where the nibbles also got swapped.

mbedtls_ecp_write_key is a mirror function to mbedtls_ecp_read_key, which
writes a private key back into a byte buffer in the correct format.
This is a helpful convenience function, since the byte order is defined
differently between Montgomery and Weierstrass curves. Since this difference
is accounted for in mbedtls_ecp_read_key, it made sense to add
mbedtls_ecp_write_key for the purpose of abstracting this away such that
psa_export_key doesn't need to take byte order into account.

Make check-test-cases.py pass.
Prior to this commit, there were many repeated test descriptions, but
none with the same test data and dependencies and comments, as checked
with the following command:
for x in tests/suites/*.data; do perl -00 -ne 'warn "$ARGV: $. = $seen{$_}\n" if $seen{$_}; $seen{$_}=$.' $x; done
Wherever a test suite contains multiple test cases with the exact same
description, add " [#1]", " [#2]", etc. to make the descriptions
unique. We don't currently use this particular arrangement of
punctuation, so all occurrences of " [#" were added by this script.
I used the following ad hoc code:
import sys
def fix_test_suite(data_file_name):
in_paragraph = False
total = {}
index = {}
lines = None
with open(data_file_name) as data_file:
lines = list(data_file.readlines())
for line in lines:
if line == '\n':
in_paragraph = False
continue
if line.startswith('#'):
continue
if not in_paragraph:
# This is a test case description line.
total[line] = total.get(line, 0) + 1
index[line] = 0
in_paragraph = True
with open(data_file_name, 'w') as data_file:
for line in lines:
if line in total and total[line] > 1:
index[line] += 1
line = '%s [#%d]\n' % (line[:-1], index[line])
data_file.write(line)
for data_file_name in sys.argv[1:]:
fix_test_suite(data_file_name)
If we provide low order element as a public key and the implementation
maps the point in infinity to the origin, we can force the common secret
to be zero.
According to the standard (RFC 7748) this is allowed but in this case
the primitive must not be used in a protocol that requires contributory
behaviour.
Mbed Crypto returns an error when the result is the point in the
infinity and does not map it to the origin. This is safe even if used in
protocols that require contributory behaviour.
This commit adds test cases that verify that Mbed Crypto returns an
error when low order public keys are processed.
The low order elements in the test cases were taken from this website:
https://cr.yp.to/ecdh.html
The tests we had for ECP point multiplication were tailored for test
vectors symulating crypto operations and tested a series of operations
against public test vectors.
This commit adds a test function that exercises a single multiplication.
This is much better suited for negative testing than the preexisting
test.
Only one new test case is added that exercises a fraction of an existing
test, just to make sure that the test is consistent with the existing
test functions.
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 curve has special arithmetic on 64 bit platforms and an untested

For the sake of completeness, a test case for a point with non-affine
coordinates has been added as well.
