Some of the documentation is obsolete in its reference to key slots
when it should discuss key handles. This may require a further pass,
possibly with some reorganization of error codes.
Update the documentation of functions that modify key slots (key
material creation and psa_set_key_policy()) to discuss how they affect
storage.
This commit marks the beginning of the removal of support for direct
access to key slots. From this commit on, programs that use
psa_key_slot_t will no longer compile.
Subsequent commits will remove the now-unused legacy support in
psa_crypto.c.
Replace `psa_key_slot_t key` by `psa_key_handle_t` in function
declarations.
This is a transition period during which handles are key slot numbers
and the whole library can still be used by accessing a key slot number
without allocating a handle.

This will be useful in eliminating temporary stack buffers for transcoding the
signature: in order to do that in place we need to be able to make assumptions
about the size of the output buffer, which this macro will provide. (See next
commit.)
It's better for names in the API to describe the "what" (opaque keys) rather
than the "how" (using PSA), at least since we don't intend to have multiple
function doing the same "what" in different ways in the foreseeable future.
Unfortunately the can_do wrapper does not receive the key context as an
argument, so it cannot check psa_get_key_information(). Later we might want to
change our internal structures to fix this, but for now we'll just restrict
opaque PSA keys to be ECDSA keypairs, as this is the only thing we need for
now. It also simplifies testing a bit (no need to test each key type).
While at it, clarify who's responsible for destroying the underlying key. That
can't be us because some keys cannot be destroyed and we wouldn't know. So
let's leave that up to the caller.
The sanity checking script tests/scripts/check-names.sh uses a
simple state machine paired with a sequence of `sed` commands to
extract enumeration constants from the code. This code, however,
doesn't work properly when using multiline comments in enumerations
such as recently done in the constants MBEDTLS_CIPHER_PSA_KEY_XXX.
This commit doesn't attempt to make check-names.sh more robust
but instead uses /* ... */ comment indicators in each comment line,
while silences check-names.sh.
Increasing the robustness of check-names.sh is instead tracked
in #2210.
For AEAD ciphers, the information contained in mbedtls_cipher_info
is not enough to deduce a PSA algorithm value of type psa_algorithm_t.
This is because mbedtls_cipher_info doesn't contain the AEAD tag
length, while values of type psa_algorithm_t do.
This commit adds the AEAD tag length as a separate parameter
to mbedtls_cipher_setup_psa(). For Non-AEAD ciphers, the value
must be 0.
This approach is preferred over passing psa_algorithm_t directly
in order to keep the changes in existing code using the cipher layer
small.
This commit implements the internal key slot management performed
by PSA-based cipher contexts. Specifically, `mbedtls_cipher_setkey()`
wraps the provided raw key material into a key slot, and
`mbedtls_cipher_free()` destroys that key slot.
This field determines whether a cipher context should
use an external implementation of the PSA Crypto API for
cryptographic operations, or Mbed TLS' own crypto library.
The commit also adds dummy implementations for the cipher API.
This commit adds a field `psk_opaque` to the handshake parameter
struct `mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params` which indicates if the user
has configured the use of an opaque PSK.
This commit adds two public API functions
mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk_opaque()
mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk_opaque()
which allow to configure the use of opaque, PSA-maintained PSKs
at configuration time or run time.
In case of AEAD ciphers, the cipher mode (and not even the entire content
of mbedtls_cipher_info_t) doesn't uniquely determine a psa_algorithm_t
because it doesn't specify the AEAD tag length, which however is included
in psa_algorithm_t identifiers.
This commit adds a tag length value to mbedtls_psa_translate_cipher_mode()
to account for that ambiguity.
This commit adds the header file mbedtls/psa_util.h which contains
static utility functions `mbedtls_psa_xxx()` used in the integration
of PSA Crypto into Mbed TLS.
Warning: These functions are internal only and may change at any time.
