were previously not parsed in configurations using TinyCrypt
instead of legacy ECC crypto.
The PK type MBEDTLS_PK_ECDSA is never returned from
`mbedtls_pk_info_from_type()`. Instead, EC keys either
are identified as MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY_DH (in case they
must only be used for ECDHE) or MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY (in
case they can be used for any algorithm).
The PK-type MBEDTLS_PK_ECDSA isn't really used by the library.
Especially, when parsing a generic EC key, a PK context of type
MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY will be requested. Hence, to drop in TinyCrypt
for the legacy-ECC implementation, the PK type that TinyCrypt
implements must be MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY.
In a reduced configuration without PEM, PKCS5 or PKCS12, armc5 found that ret
was set but not used. Fixing that lead to a new warning about the variable not
being used at all. Now the variable is only declared when it's needed.
A 0-length buffer for the key is a legitimate edge case. Ensure that
it works, even with buf=NULL. Document the key and keylen parameters.
There are already test cases for parsing an empty buffer. A subsequent
commit will add tests for writing to an empty buffer.
Add checks for null pointers under MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS.
In functions that perform operations with a context, only check if the
context pointer is non-null under MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS. In the default
configuration, unconditionally dereference the context pointer.
In functions that query a context, support NULL as a
pointer-to-context argument, and return the same value as for a
context which has been initialized but not set up.
Context: This commit makes a change to mbedtls_pk_parse_key() which
is responsible for parsing of private keys. The function doesn't know
the key format in advance (PEM vs. DER, encrypted vs. unencrypted) and
tries them one by one, resetting the PK context in between.
Issue: The previous code resets the PK context through a call to
mbedtls_pk_free() along, lacking the accompanying mbedtls_pk_init()
call. Practically, this is not an issue because functionally
mbedtls_pk_free() + mbedtls_pk_init() is equivalent to mbedtls_pk_free()
with the current implementation of these functions, but strictly
speaking it's nonetheless a violation of the API semantics according
to which xxx_free() functions leave a context in uninitialized state.
(yet not entirely random, because xxx_free() functions must be idempotent,
so they cannot just fill the context they operate on with garbage).
Change: The commit adds calls to mbedtls_pk_init() after those calls
to mbedtls_pk_free() within mbedtls_pk_parse_key() after which the
PK context might still be used.
This commit removes all the static occurrencies of the function
mbedtls_zeroize() in each of the individual .c modules. Instead the
function has been moved to utils.h that is included in each of the
modules.
The relevant ASN.1 definitions for a PKCS#8 encoded Elliptic Curve key are:
PrivateKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
version Version,
privateKeyAlgorithm PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier,
privateKey PrivateKey,
attributes [0] IMPLICIT Attributes OPTIONAL
}
AlgorithmIdentifier ::= SEQUENCE {
algorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
parameters ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL
}
ECParameters ::= CHOICE {
namedCurve OBJECT IDENTIFIER
-- implicitCurve NULL
-- specifiedCurve SpecifiedECDomain
}
ECPrivateKey ::= SEQUENCE {
version INTEGER { ecPrivkeyVer1(1) } (ecPrivkeyVer1),
privateKey OCTET STRING,
parameters [0] ECParameters {{ NamedCurve }} OPTIONAL,
publicKey [1] BIT STRING OPTIONAL
}
Because of the two optional fields, there are 4 possible variants that need to
be parsed: no optional fields, only parameters, only public key, and both
optional fields. Previously mbedTLS was unable to parse keys with "only
parameters". Also, only "only public key" was tested. There was a test for "no
optional fields", but it was labelled incorrectly as SEC.1 and not run because
of a great renaming mixup.
1. Style issues fixes - remove redundant spacing.
2. Remove depency of `MBEDTLS_RSA_C` in `pk_parse_public_keyfile_rsa()`
tests, as the function itself is dependent on it.
The function `pk_get_rsapubkey` originally performed some basic
sanity checks (e.g. on the size of public exponent) on the parsed
RSA public key by a call to `mbedtls_rsa_check_pubkey`.
This check was dropped because it is not possible to thoroughly
check full parameter sanity (i.e. that (-)^E is a bijection on Z/NZ).
Still, for the sake of not silently changing existing behavior,
this commit puts back the call to `mbedtls_rsa_check_pubkey`.
Fix missing definition of mbedtls_zeroize when MBEDTLS_FS_IO is
disabled in the configuration.

Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream-public/pr/1062' into development
1) use `pk_get_rsapubkey` instead of reimplementing the parsing
2) rename the key files, according to their type and key size
3) comment in the data_files/Makefile hoe the keys were generated
4) Fix issue of failure parsing pkcs#1 DER format parsing, missed in previous commit
As the optional RSA parameters DP, DQ and QP are effectively discarded (they are only considered for their length to
ensure that the key fills the entire buffer), it is not necessary to read them into separate MPI's.
State explicitly that `pk_parse_pkcs8_undencrypted_der` and `pk_parse_key_pkcs8_encrypted_der` are not responsible for
zeroizing and freeing the provided key buffer.
