Now that lifetimes have structures and secure element drivers handle
all the lifetimes with a certain location, update driver registration
to take a location as argument rather than a lifetime.

Call persistence "default" because that is genuinely the default that
applications should use if they don't know better. It's slightly
misleading in that the default persistence when you create a key is
volatile, not this: "default" is the default persistence for
persistent keys, not the default persistence for keys in general. But
we haven't found a better name.
Introduce the term "primary local storage" to designate the default
storage location.

Most of the documentation and some of the function names use
"asymmetric", so use "asymmetric" everywhere. Mention "public-key" in
key places to make the relevant functions easy to find if someone is
looking for that.

On dual world platforms, we want to run the PK module (pk.c) on the NS
side so TLS can use PSA APIs via the PK interface. PK currently has a
hard dependency on mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa() which is declared in
crypto_extra.h, but only defined in psa_crypto.c, which is only built
for the S side.
Without this change, dual world platforms get error messages like the
following.
[Error] @0,0: L6218E: Undefined symbol mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa (referred from BUILD/LPC55S69_NS/ARM/mbed-os/features/mbedtls/mbed-crypto/src/pk.o)
Make mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa() inline within crypto_extra.h so that it
is available to both NS and S world code.

This patch changes the compatibility API defined in crypto_compat.h
to static inline functions as the previous macro definitions were
causing issues for the C pre-processor when included in projects
which need to redefine the PSA function names. Making it static
inline function solves this problem neatly and also modern compilers
do a good job at inlining the function which makes the need for making
it a macro redundant.

Change the encoding of key types, EC curve families and DH group
families to make the low-order bit a parity bit (with even parity).
This ensures that distinct key type values always have a Hamming
distance of at least 2, which makes it easier for implementations to
resist single bit flips.
All key types now have an encoding on 32 bits where the bottom 16 bits
are zero. Change to using 16 bits only.
Keep 32 bits for key types in storage, but move the significant
half-word from the top to the bottom.
Likewise, change EC curve and DH group families from 32 bits out of
which the top 8 and bottom 16 bits are zero, to 8 bits only.
Reorder psa_core_key_attributes_t to avoid padding.
Remove the values of curve encodings that are based on the TLS registry
and include the curve size, keeping only the new encoding that merely
encodes a curve family in 8 bits.
Keep the old constant names as aliases for the new values and
deprecate the old names.
Define constants for ECC curve families and DH group families. These
constants have 0x0000 in the lower 16 bits of the key type.
Support these constants in the implementation and in the PSA metadata
tests.
Switch the slot management and secure element driver HAL tests to the
new curve encodings. This requires SE driver code to become slightly
more clever when figuring out the bit-size of an imported EC key since
it now needs to take the data size into account.
Switch some documentation to the new encodings.
Remove the macro PSA_ECC_CURVE_BITS which can no longer be implemented.
Change the representation of psa_ecc_curve_t and psa_dh_group_t from
the IETF 16-bit encoding to a custom 24-bit encoding where the upper 8
bits represent a curve family and the lower 16 bits are the key size
in bits. Families are based on naming and mathematical similarity,
with sufficiently precise families that no two curves in a family have
the same bit size (for example SECP-R1 and SECP-R2 are two different
families).
As a consequence, the lower 16 bits of a key type value are always
either the key size or 0.
Key types are now encoded through a category in the upper 4 bits (bits
28-31) and a type-within-category in the next 11 bits (bits 17-27),
with bit 16 unused and bits 0-15 only used for the EC curve or DH
group.
For symmetric keys, bits 20-22 encode the block size (0x0=stream,
0x3=8B, 0x4=16B).
Change the numerical encoding of values for symmetric key types to
have 0000 as the lower 16 bits. Now the lower 16 bits are only used
for key types that have a subtype (EC curve or DH group).
Whether a parameter should be const is an implementation detail of the
function, so don't declare a parameter of psa_hash_compare as
const. (This only applies to parameters themselves, not to objects
that pointer parameters points to.)
Rename some macros and functions related to signature which are
changing as part of the addition of psa_sign_message and
psa_verify_message.

Move backward compatibility aliases to a separate header. Reserve
crypto_extra.h for implementation-specific extensions that we intend
to keep supporting.
This is better documentation for users. New users should simply ignore
backward compatibility aliases, and old users can look at
crypto_compat.h to see what is deprecated without bothering about new
features appearing in crypto_extra.h.
This facilitates maintenance because scripts such as
generate_psa_constants that want to ignore backward compability
aliases can simply exclude crypto_compat.h from their parsing.
PSA_ASYMMETRIC_SIGNATURE_MAX_SIZE was taking the maximum ECDSA key
size as the ECDSA signature size. Fix it to use the actual maximum
size of an ECDSA signature.
Document that passing 0 to a close/destroy function does nothing and
returns PSA_SUCCESS.
Although this was not written explicitly, the specification strongly
suggested that this would return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE. While
returning INVALID_HANDLE makes sense, it was awkward for a very common
programming style where applications can store 0 in a handle variable
to indicate that the handle has been closed or has never been open:
applications had to either check if (handle != 0) before calling
psa_close_key(handle) or psa_destroy_key(handle), or ignore errors
from the close/destroy function. Now applications following this style
can just call psa_close_key(handle) or psa_destroy_key(handle).
Add a parameter to the p_validate_slot_number method to allow the
driver to modify the persistent data.
With the current structure of the core, the persistent data is already
updated. All it took was adding a way to modify it.
When registering a key in a secure element, go through the transaction
mechanism. This makes the code simpler, at the expense of a few extra
storage operations. Given that registering a key is typically very
rare over the lifetime of a device, this is an acceptable loss.
Drivers must now have a p_validate_slot_number method, otherwise
registering a key is not possible. This reduces the risk that due to a
mistake during the integration of a device, an application might claim
a slot in a way that is not supported by the driver.
Define a vendor-range within the the private use ranges in the IANA
registry. Provide recommendations for how to support vendor-defined
curves and groups.
If none of the inputs to a key derivation is a
PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SECRET passed with
psa_key_derivation_input_key(), forbid
psa_key_derivation_output_key(). It usually doesn't make sense to
derive a key object if the secret isn't itself a proper key.
Allow a direct input as the SECRET input step in a key derivation, in
addition to allowing DERIVE keys. This makes it easier for
applications to run a key derivation where the "secret" input is
obtained from somewhere else. This makes it possible for the "secret"
input to be empty (keys cannot be empty), which some protocols do (for
example the IV derivation in EAP-TLS).
Conversely, allow a RAW_DATA key as the INFO/LABEL/SALT/SEED input to a key
derivation, in addition to allowing direct inputs. This doesn't
improve security, but removes a step when a personalization parameter
is stored in the key store, and allows this personalization parameter
to remain opaque.
Add test cases that explore step/key-type-and-keyhood combinations.
Keys of size 0 generally don't make sense: a key is supposed to be
secret. There is one edge case which is "raw data" keys, which are
useful to store non-key objects in the same storage location as keys.
However those are also problematic because they involve a zero-length
buffer. Manipulating zero-length buffers in C requires special cases
with functions like malloc() and memcpy(). Additionally, 0 as a key
size already has a meaning "unspecified", which does not always
overlap seamlessly with the meaning "0".
Therefore, forbid keys of size 0. No implementation may accept them.
Clarify how key creation functions use attributes. Explain the meaning
of attribute values, espcially what 0 means in each field where it has
a special meaning. Explain what an algorithm usage policy can be (an
algorithm, a wildcard with ANY_HASH, or 0).
* open output distinct key handles
* each handle must be closed
* destroying a key does not invalidate other handles
* closing a key can/might fail an active operation (but not required)
It may be possible that the implementation runs out of
memory when exporting a key from storage or a secure
element. For example, it may not be possible to directly
move the data from storage to the caller, so the implementation
will have to buffer the material temporarily (an issue if dynamic
memory allocation scheme is used). For a large key
this is more likely to return.
It may be possible that an implementation does not
fetch key material until a command like
this is called and such an error may occur if an
off-chip secure storage dependency may have been wiped.
Note that PSA_ERROR_NOT_PERMITTED is not included
because I can't think of a scenario where you have
a valid key handle but aren't allowed to read the
attributes
If the key doesn't exist by the time this call is made
then the handle is invalid,
which means that PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE should be
returned rather than "does not exist"

Adjust the wording to permit multiple handles to a single key - closing

the key, that only occurs when the last handle is closed.

- Describe the use of INSUFFICENT_MEMORY error to indicate additional

The methods to import and generate a key in a secure element drivers
were written for an earlier version of the application-side interface.
Now that there is a psa_key_attributes_t structure that combines all
key metadata including its lifetime (location), type, size, policy and
extra type-specific data (domain parameters), pass that to drivers
instead of separate arguments for each piece of metadata. This makes
the interface less cluttered.
Update parameter names and descriptions to follow general conventions.
Document the public-key output on key generation more precisely.
Explain that it is optional in a driver, and when a driver would
implement it. Declare that it is optional in the core, too (which
means that a crypto core might not support drivers for secure elements
that do need this feature).
Update the implementation and the tests accordingly.
Register an existing key in a secure element.
Minimal implementation that doesn't call any driver method and just
lets the application declare whatever it wants.
Pass the key creation method (import/generate/derive/copy) to the
driver methods to allocate or validate a slot number. This allows
drivers to enforce policies such as "this key slot can only be used
for keys generated inside the secure element".
Test the behavior of the getter/setter functions.
Test that psa_get_key_slot_number() reports a slot number for a key in
a secure element, and doesn't report a slot number for a key that is
not in a secure element.
Test that psa_get_key_slot_number() reports the correct slot number
for a key in a secure element.
Add a slot_number field to psa_key_attributes_t and getter/setter
functions. Since slot numbers can have the value 0, indicate the
presence of the field via a separate flag.
In psa_get_key_attributes(), report the slot number if the key is in a
secure element.
When creating a key, for now, applications cannot choose a slot
number. A subsequent commit will add this capability in the secure
element HAL.
Add infrastructure for internal, external and dual-use flags, with a
compile-time check (if static_assert is available) to ensure that the
same numerical value doesn't get declared for two different purposes
in crypto_struct.h (external or dual-use) and
psa_crypto_core.h (internal).
Conflict resolution:
* `scripts/config.pl`:
Take the exclusion of `MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C` from the API branch.
Take the removal of `MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_STORAGE_ITS_C` (obsolete) from
the development branch.
* `tests/scripts/all.sh`:
Multiple instances of factoring a sequence of `config.pl` calls into
a mere `config.pl baremetal` in the development branch, and a change in
the composition of `baremetal` in the API branch. In each case, take the
version from development.
* `tests/suites/test_suite_psa_crypto_slot_management.function`:
A function became non-static in development and disappeared in the API
branch. Keep the version from the API branch. Functions need to be
non-static if they're defined but unused in some configurations,
which is not the case for any function in this file at the moment.
* `tests/suites/test_suite_psa_crypto.function`:
Consecutive changes in the two branches, reconciled.
65528 bits is more than any reasonable key until we start supporting
post-quantum cryptography.
This limit is chosen to allow bit-sizes to be stored in 16 bits, with
65535 left to indicate an invalid value. It's a whole number of bytes,
which facilitates some calculations, in particular allowing a key of
exactly PSA_CRYPTO_MAX_STORAGE_SIZE to be created but not one bit
more.
As a resource usage limit, this is arguably too large, but that's out
of scope of the current commit.
Test that key import, generation and derivation reject overly large
sizes.
Move the "core attributes" to a substructure of psa_key_attribute_t.
The motivation is to be able to use the new structure
psa_core_key_attributes_t internally.
Add a parameter to the key import method of a secure element driver to
make it report the key size in bits. This is necessary (otherwise the
core has no idea what the bit-size is), and making import report it is
easier than adding a separate method (for other key creation methods,
this information is an input, not an output).
Most driver methods are not allowed to modify the persistent data, so
the driver context structure contains a const pointer to it. Pass a
non-const pointer to the persstent data to the driver methods that
need it: init, allocate, destroy.
Pass the driver context to all driver methods except the ones that
operate on an already-setup operation context.
Rename `p_context` arguments to `op_context` to avoid confusion
between contexts.
This slightly increases storage requirements, but works in more use
cases. In particular, it allows drivers to treat choose slot numbers
with a monotonic counter that is incremented each time a key is
created, without worrying about overflow in practice.
Instead of having one giant table containing all possible methods,
represent a driver's method table as a structure containing pointers
to substructures. This way a driver that doesn't implement a certain
class of operations can use NULL for this class as a whole instead of
storing NULL for each method.
