|
||||
Security
|
||||
* Fix mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() to use more rounds of probabilistic testing. The
|
||||
previous settings for the number of rounds made it practical for an
|
||||
adversary to construct non-primes that would be erroneously accepted as
|
||||
primes with high probability. This does not have an impact on the
|
||||
security of TLS, but can matter in other contexts with potentially
|
||||
adversarially-chosen numbers that should be prime and can be validated.
|
||||
For example, the number of rounds was enough to securely generate RSA key
|
||||
pairs or Diffie-Hellman parameters, but was insufficient to validate
|
||||
Diffie-Hellman parameters properly.
|
||||
See "Prime and Prejudice" by by Martin R. Albrecht and Jake Massimo and
|
||||
Kenneth G. Paterson and Juraj Somorovsky.
|
||||
|
||||
New deprecations
|
||||
* Deprecate the function mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() in favor of
|
||||
mbedtls_mpi_is_prime_ext() which allows specifying the number of
|
||||
Miller-Rabin rounds.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes
|
||||
* Add MBEDTLS_MPI_GEN_PRIME_FLAG_LOW_ERR flag to mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime() and
|
||||
use it to reduce error probability in RSA key generation to levels mandated
