If the ExtendedMasterSecret extension is configured at compile-time
by setting MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET and/or
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_ENFORCE_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET, the runtime
configuration APIs mbedtls_ssl_conf_extended_master_secret()
and mbedtls_ssl_conf_extended_master_secret_enforce() must
either be removed or modified to take no effect (or at most
check that the runtime value matches the hardcoded one, but
that would undermine the code-size benefits the hardcoding
is supposed to bring in the first place).
Previously, the API was kept but modified to have no effect.
While convenient for us because we don't have to adapt example
applications, this comes at the danger of users calling the runtime
configuration API, forgetting that the respective fields are
potentially already hardcoded at compile-time - and hence silently
using a configuration they don't intend to use.
This commit changes the approach to removing the configuration
API in case the respective field is hardcoded at compile-time,
and exemplifies it in the only case implemented so far, namely
the configuration of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
It adapts ssl_client2 and ssl_server2 by omitting the call to
the corresponding API if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_XXX are defined and
removing the command line parameters for the runtime configuration
of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
This commit is the first in a series demonstrating how code-size
can be reduced by hardcoding parts of the SSL configuration at
compile-time, focusing on the example of the configuration of
the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
The flexibility of an SSL configuration defined a runtime vs.
compile-time is necessary for the use of Mbed TLS as a
dynamically linked library, but is undesirable in constrained
environments because it introduces the following overhead:
- Definition of SSL configuration API (code-size overhead)
(and on the application-side: The API needs to be called)
- Additional fields in the SSL configuration (RAM overhead,
and potentially code-size overhead if structures grow
beyond immediate-offset bounds).
- Dereferencing is needed to obtain configuration settings.
- Code contains branches and potentially additional structure
fields to distinguish between different configurations.
Considering the example of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension,
this instantiates as follows:
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_extended_master_secret() and
mbedtls_ssl_conf_extended_master_secret_enforced()
are introduced to configure the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
- mbedtls_ssl_config contains bitflags `extended_ms` and
`enforce_extended_master_secret` reflecting the runtime
configuration of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
- Whenever we need to access these fields, we need a chain
of dereferences `ssl->conf->extended_ms`.
- Determining whether Client/Server should write the
ExtendedMasterSecret extension needs a branch
depending on `extended_ms`, and the state of the
ExtendedMasterSecret negotiation needs to be stored in a new
handshake-local variable mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::extended_ms.
Finally (that's the point of ExtendedMasterSecret) key derivation
depends on this handshake-local state of ExtendedMasterSecret.
All this is unnecessary if it is known at compile-time that the
ExtendedMasterSecret extension is used and enforced:
- No API calls are necessary because the configuration is fixed
at compile-time.
- No SSL config fields are necessary because there are corresponding
compile-time constants instead.
- Accordingly, no dereferences for field accesses are necessary,
and these accesses can instead be replaced by the corresponding
compile-time constants.
- Branches can be eliminated at compile-time because the compiler
knows the configuration. Also, specifically for the ExtendedMasterSecret
extension, the field `extended_ms` in the handshake structure
is unnecessary, because we can fail immediately during the Hello-
stage of the handshake if the ExtendedMasterSecret extension
is not negotiated; accordingly, the non-ExtendedMS code-path
can be eliminated from the key derivation logic.
A way needs to be found to allow fixing parts of the SSL configuration
at compile-time which removes this overhead in case it is used,
while at the same time maintaining readability and backwards
compatibility.
This commit proposes the following approach:
From the user perspective, for aspect of the SSL configuration
mbedtls_ssl_config that should be configurable at compile-time,
introduce a compile-time option MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_FIELD_NAME.
If this option is not defined, the field is kept and configurable
at runtime as usual. If the option is defined, the field is logically
forced to the value of the option at compile time.
Internally, read-access to fields in the SSL configuration which are
configurable at compile-time gets replaced by new `static inline` getter
functions which evaluate to the corresponding field access or to the
constant MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_FIELD_NAME, depending on whether the latter
is defined or not.
Write-access to fields which are configurable at compile-time needs
to be removed: Specifically, the corresponding API itself either
needs to be removed or replaced by a stub function without effect.
This commit takes the latter approach, which has the benefit of
not requiring any change on the example applications, but introducing
the risk of mismatching API calls and compile-time configuration,
in case a user doesn't correctly keep track of which parts of the
configuration have been fixed at compile-time, and which haven't.
Write-access for the purpose of setting defaults is simply omitted.
If `MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE` is not set, `mbedtls_ssl_session`
contains the digest of the peer's certificate for the sole purpose of
detecting a CRT change on renegotiation. Hence, it is not needed if
renegotiation is disabled.
This commit removes the `peer_cert_digest` fields (and friends) from
`mbedtls_ssl_session` if
`!MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE + !MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION`,
which is a sensible configuration for constrained devices.
Apart from straightforward replacements of
`if !defined(MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE)`
by
`if !defined(MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE) && \
defined(MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION)`,
there's one notable change: On the server-side, the CertificateVerify
parsing function is a no-op if the client hasn't sent a certificate.
So far, this was determined by either looking at the peer CRT or the
peer CRT digest in the SSL session structure (depending on the setting
of `MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE`), which now no longer works if
`MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE` is unset. Instead, this function
now checks whether the temporary copy of the peer's public key within
the handshake structure is initialized or not (which is also a
beneficial simplification in its own right, because the pubkey is
all the function needs anyway).
`MBEDTLS_SSL__ECP_RESTARTABLE` is only defined if
`MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDHE_ECDSA_ENABLED` is set, which
requires `MBEDTLS_X509_PARSE_C` to be set (this is checked
in `check_config.`). The additional `MBEDTLS_X509_PARSE_C`
guard around the `ecrs_peer_cert` field is therefore not
necessary; moreover, it's misleading, because it hasn't
been used consistently throughout the code.
When removing the (session-local) copy of the peer's CRT chain, we must
keep a handshake-local copy of the peer's public key, as (naturally) every
key exchange will make use of that public key at some point to verify that
the peer actually owns the corresponding private key (e.g., verify signatures
from ServerKeyExchange or CertificateVerify, or encrypt a PMS in a RSA-based
exchange, or extract static (EC)DH parameters).
This commit adds a PK context field `peer_pubkey` to the handshake parameter
structure `mbedtls_handshake_params_init()` and adapts the init and free
functions accordingly. It does not yet make actual use of the new field.
This commit adds an ASN.1 buffer field `pk_raw` to `mbedtls_x509_crt`
which stores the bounds of the raw public key data within an X.509 CRT.
This will be useful in subsequent commits to extract the peer's public
key from its certificate chain.
`mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate()` parses the peer's certificate chain
directly into the `peer_cert` field of the `mbedtls_ssl_session`
structure being established. To allow to optionally remove this field
from the session structure, this commit changes this to parse the peer's
chain into a local variable instead first, which can then either be freed
after CRT verification - in case the chain should not be stored - or
mapped to the `peer_cert` if it should be kept. For now, only the latter
is implemented.
A subsequent commit will need this function in the session ticket
and session cache implementations. As the latter are server-side,
this commit also removes the MBEDTLS_SSL_CLI_C guard.
For now, the function is declared in ssl_internal.h and hence not
part of the public API.
This commit introduces a static helper function
`mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_srv_cert()`
which determines whether a ciphersuite may make use of server-side CRTs.
This function is in turn uses in `mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate()` to
skip certificate parsing for ciphersuites which don't involve CRTs.
Note: Ciphersuites not using server-side CRTs don't allow client-side CRTs
either, so it is safe to guard `mbedtls_ssl_{parse/write}_certificate()`
this way.
Note: Previously, the code uses a positive check over the suites
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_PSK
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_DHE_PSK
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDHE_PSK
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE,
while now, it uses a negative check over `mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_srv_cert()`,
which checks for the suites
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_RSA
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_RSA_PSK
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_DHE_RSA
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDH_RSA
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDHE_RSA
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDH_ECDSA
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDHE_ECDSA
This is equivalent since, together, those are all ciphersuites.
Quoting ssl_ciphersuites.h:
```
typedef enum {
MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_NONE = 0,
MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_RSA,
MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_DHE_RSA,
MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDHE_RSA,
MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDHE_ECDSA,
MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_PSK,
MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_DHE_PSK,
MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_RSA_PSK,
MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDHE_PSK,
MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDH_RSA,
MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDH_ECDSA,
MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE,
} mbedtls_key_exchange_type_t;
```
Introduce MBEDTLS_X509_INFO to indicate the availability of the
mbedtls_x509_*_info() function and closely related APIs. When this is
not defined, also omit name and description from
mbedtls_oid_descriptor_t, and omit OID arrays, macros, and types that
are entirely unused. This saves several KB of code space.

Some TLS-only code paths were not protected by an #ifdef and while some
compiler are happy to just silently remove them, armc5 complains:
Warning: #111-D: statement is unreachable
Let's make armc5 happy.
This is enabled by default as we generally enable things by default unless
there's a reason not to (experimental, deprecated, security risk).
We need a compile-time option because, even though the functions themselves
can be easily garbage-collected by the linker, implementing them will require
saving 64 bytes of Client/ServerHello.random values after the handshake, that
would otherwise not be needed, and people who don't need this feature
shouldn't have to pay the price of increased RAM usage.
A positive option looks better, but comes with the following compatibility
issue: people using a custom config.h that is not based on the default
config.h and need TLS support would need to manually change their config in
order to still get TLS.
Work around that by making the public option negative. Internally the positive
option is used, though.
In the future (when preparing the next major version), we might want to switch
back to a positive option as this would be more consistent with other options
we have.
