This commit modifies the example programs ssl_client2 and ssl_server2
to allocate various structures on the heap instead of the stack. This
allows more fine-grained memory usage tracking via valgrind massif.
No effect for now, just declaring it here, implemented in subsequent commits.
The option requires MBEDTLS_USE_TINYCRYPT and is incompatible with
MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT_SUPPORT and MBEDTLS_RSA_C.
Currently users (including the X.509 and SSL libraries) assume that if both PK
and RSA are enabled, then RSA is available through PK. If we allowed RSA to be
enabled together with PK_SINGLE_TYPE, we'd break that assumption. Going
through the code to find all place that rely on that assumption and fix them
would be cumbersome, and people who want PK_SINGLE_TYPE are unlikely to care
about RSA anyway, so let's just make them incompatible.
This is also consistent with what's done in the MD module: MD_SINGLE_HASH
requires that exactly one hash be enabled.
This commit introduces the configuration option
MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH
which can be used to hardcode support for a single digest algorithm
at compile-time, at the benefit of reduced code-size.
To use, it needs to be defined to evaluate to a macro of the form
MBEDTLS_MD_INFO_{DIGEST}, and macros MBEDTLS_MD_INFO_{DIGEST}_FIELD
must be defined, giving rise to the various aspects (name, type,
size, ...) of the chosen digest algorithm. MBEDTLS_MD_INFO_SHA256
provides an example, but other algorithms can be added if needed.
At the moment, the effect of using MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH is that
the implementation of the MD API (e.g. mbedtls_md_update()) need no
longer to through the abstraction of the mbedtls_md_info structures
by calling their corresponding function pointers fields (akin to
virtual functions in C++), but the directly call the corresponding
core digest function (such as mbedtls_sha256_update()).
Therefore, MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH so far removes the second layer
of indirection in the chain
User calls MD API -> MD API calls underlying digest impl'n
-> Core digest impl'n does the actual work,
but the first indirection remains, as the MD API remains untouched
and cannot yet be inlined. Studying to what extend inlining the
shortened MD API implementations would lead to further code-savings
is left for a later commit.
TinyCrypt should be used as a replacement of legacy ECC. In particular,
there shouldn't be any use of identifiers from the legacy ECC module.
So far, there's the configuration option
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC_GRP_ID
that's relevant if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_CURVE is set, and which in
this case must resolve to an identifier of type mbedtls_ecp_group_id
indicating which single curve to enable.
With the introduction of TinyCrypt, we must either change the type
of this option to mbedtls_uecc_group_id, or introduce a separate
compilation option.
In order to avoid type confusion, this commit follows tha latter
approach, introducing the configuration option
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_UECC_GRP_ID
that indicatesthe TinyCrypt group identifier of the single curve
to use (must be Secp256r1) if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_CURVE
and MBEDTLS_USE_TINYCRYPT are set.
So far, ssl_client2 and ssl_server2 were relying on MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C
being set. This commit adapts them to use HMAC DRBG in case CTR DRBG
is disabled in the configuration.
Note that disabling CTR DRBG in favor of HMAC DRBG can be useful on
constrained systems because Mbed TLS' HMAC DRBG is slightly smaller,
and moreover needed anyway as part of deterministic ECDSA.
Now function mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname is compile-time configurable
in config.h with define MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_HOSTNAME_VERIFICATION.
This affects to many x509 API's. See config.h for details.
This was found as a warning when running scripts/baremetal.sh --ram
--build-only manually, but it should have been found in a more automated way.
Adding -Werror so that future such issues will be caught by all.sh
(component_test_baremetal already invokes baremetal.sh --ram --build-only).
The code wants timer callbacks to be set (checked in fetch_input()), and can't
easily check whether we're using nbio, so it seems easier to require the
callbacks to be always set rather than only with nbio as was previously done.
context_buf was never free()d. Moreover, since we want to free it on error
paths as well, and even properly zeroize it in order to demonstrate good
memory hygiene, we need to make it and its length main()-scoped.
Previously it was missing reset in case 1, and in case 2 the code was never
executed as the option value was reset to 0.
Tighten checking of return values of save(NULL, 0) now that it works.
Also, improve the printed output as well as the comments.
I checked manually that everything now works and fail in the expected way:
save, reset-or-reinit and load all succeed, but the subsequent read or write
fails.
This commit introduces the option MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_HASH
which can be used to register a single supported signature hash
algorithm at compile time. It replaces the runtime configuration
API mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes() which allows to register a _list_
of supported signature hash algorithms.
In contrast to other options used to hardcode configuration options,
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_HASH isn't a numeric option, but instead it's
only relevant if it's defined or not. To actually set the single
supported hash algorithm that should be supported, numeric options
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_HASH_TLS_ID
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_HASH_MD_ID
must both be defined and provide the TLS ID and the Mbed TLS internal
ID and the chosen hash algorithm, respectively.
This commit introduces the option MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC
which can be used to register a single supported elliptic curve
at compile time. It replaces the runtime configuration API
mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves() which allows to register a _list_
of supported elliptic curves.
In contrast to other options used to hardcode configuration options,
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC isn't a numeric option, but instead it's
only relevant if it's defined or not. To actually set the single
elliptic curve that should be supported, numeric options
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC_TLS_ID
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC_GRP_ID
must both be defined and provide the TLS ID and the Mbed TLS internal
ID and the chosen curve, respectively.
If MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled, it overwrites
the runtime configuration of supported ciphersuites, which
includes both the configuration API and the fields which are
used to store the configuration. Both are therefore no longer
needed and should be removed for the benefit of code-size,
memory usage, and API clarity (no accidental hiccup of runtime
vs. compile-time configuration possible).
The configuration API mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites() has
already been removed in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE,
and this commit removes the field
mbedtls_ssl_config::ciphersuite_list
which it updates.
This commit introduces an internal zero-cost abstraction layer for
SSL ciphersuites: Instead of addressing ciphersuites via pointers
to instances of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t and accessing their fields
directly, this commit introduces an opaque type
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t,
and getter functions
mbedtls_ssl_suite_get_xxx()
operating on ciphersuite handles.
The role of NULL is played by a new macro constant
MBEDTLS_SSL_CIPHERSUITE_INVALID_HANDLE
which results of functions returning handles can be checked against.
(For example, when doing a lookup of a ciphersuite from a peer-provided
ciphersuite ID in the per's Hello message).
The getter functions have the validity of the handle as a precondition
and are undefined if the handle is invalid.
So far, there's only one implementation of this abstraction layer, namely
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t being mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t const *
and
getter functions being field accesses.
In subsequent commits, however, the abstraction layer will be useful
to save code in the situation where only a single ciphersuite is enabled.
