This saves a few bytes in configurations where only one hash
is enabled, and configurations allowing multiple hashes probably
don't care about code-size anyway.
This function is called on client-only once the ciphersuite has
been chosen and it it is known which digest the client will need
for the handshake transcript throughout the handshake, and causes
all other unneeded handshake transcripts to be discontinued.
(On the server, we cannot call this function because we don't know
which hash the client will those in its CertificateVerify message).
However, the benefit of this call is marginal, since transcript hash
computation is negligible compared to asymmetric crypto, and moreover
the handshake transcript contexts for the unused digests are still
stored in the SSL handshake parameter structure and not freed until
the end of the handshake.
Finally, if we're running on a _really_ constrained client, there
will be only one hash function enabled anyway, and in this case
the checksum optimization has no effect.
This commit therefore removes checksum optimization altogether,
saving some code on constrained systems.
- a comment regarding the implementation of hmac_drbg_reseed_core()
was misplaced.
- add more references to the standard, and add details on how the
comments in the code refer to various parts of the standard.
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.
ssl_client2 and ssl_server2 either allow loading specific CRTs
and CAs from files, or to leave them unspecified, in which case
they're automatically picked from the test certificates.
The test certificates should be chosen in a way that when
not specifying any CRT or CA parameters, the automatically
chosen ones match - but if one of them is specified but not
the other, one should not expect tests to succeed.
With the recent switch to Secp256r1-based test certificates,
the default test certificates have changed, which breaks some
ssl-opt.sh tests which specify the server CRT explicitly but
not the client trusted CAs.
This commit fixes this by specifying the client's trusted CA
explicitly in accordance with the explicitly specified server CRT.
According to SP800-90A, the DRBG seeding process should use a nonce
of length `security_strength / 2` bits as part of the DRBG seed. It
further notes that this nonce may be drawn from the same source of
entropy that is used for the first `security_strength` bits of the
DRBG seed. The present HMAC DRBG implementation does that, requesting
`security_strength * 3 / 2` bits of entropy from the configured entropy
source in total to form the initial part of the DRBG seed.
However, some entropy sources may have thresholds in terms of how much
entropy they can provide in a single call to their entropy gathering
function which may be exceeded by the present HMAC DRBG implementation
even if the threshold is not smaller than `security_strength` bits.
Specifically, this is the case for our own entropy module implementation
which only allows requesting at most 32 Bytes of entropy at a time
in configurations disabling SHA-512, and this leads to runtime failure
of HMAC DRBG when used with Mbed TLS' own entropy callbacks in such
configurations.
This commit fixes this by splitting the seed entropy acquisition into
two calls, one requesting `security_strength` bits first, and another
one requesting `security_strength / 2` bits for the nonce.
Previously, configs/baremetal_test.h added MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP384R1_ENABLED
because we didn't have sufficient test certificates using Secp256r1. Now that
these test certificates have been added, we can successfully run
ssl_client2 and ssl_server2 with just Secp256r1 enabled.
This commit adds the script scripts/generate_certs.sh which
parses library/certs.c and inserts certificate and key files
for any block of the form
/* BEGIN FILE [string|binary] [variable|macro] NAME FILE */
...
/* END FILE */
Here, the first argument string / binary indicates whether the
file should be inserted as a string or as a binary array. The
second argument indicates whether the resulting object should
be registered as a C variable or a macro.
This script allows to easily update certs.c in case any of the
test certificates from tests/data_files change, or new test
certificates / keys need to be added.
One test for running with MBEDTLS_ECDH_C on and one
for running MBEDTLS_ECDH_C off. Run ssl-opt.sh with Default, DTLS
and compatibility tests with TLS-ECDHE-ECDSA-WITH-AES-256-CBC-SHA.
compat.sh used to skip OpenSSL altogether for DTLS 1.2, because older
versions of OpenSSL didn't support it. But these days it is supported.
We don't want to use DTLS 1.2 with OpenSSL unconditionally, because we
still use legacy versions of OpenSSL to test with legacy ciphers. So
check whether the version we're using supports it.
tinyCrypt is still tested in the baremetal tests since it
is enabled in baremetal.h. Tests for minimal modifictions
of the default / full config enabling tinyCrypt will be
added elsewhere.
The use of tinyCrypt is restricted Secp256r1-only, and a check in
ssl_ciphersuite_is_match() ensures that an EC ciphersuite is chosen
only if the client advertised support for Secp256r1, too.
In a way inconsistent with the rest of the library restricting the
use of tinyCrypt to pure-ECDHE, the previous ServerKeyExchange writing
routine would use tinyCrypt also for ECDHE-PSK-based ciphersuites.
This commit fixes this.
Previously, MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDH[E]_XXX_ENABLED would imply
that MBEDTLS_ECDH_C is set, but with the introduction of tinyCrypt
as an alternative ECDH implementation, this is no longer the case.
