mbedtls_ssl_set_calc_verify_md() serves two purposes:
(a) It checks whether a hash algorithm is suitable to be used
in the CertificateVerify message.
(b) It updates the function callback pointing to the function that
computes handshake transcript for the CertificateVerify message
w.r.t. the chosen hash function.
Step (b) is only necessary when receiving the CertificateVerify
message, while writing the CertificateRequest only involves (a).
This commit modifies the writing code for the CertificateRequest
message to inline the check (a) and thereby avoiding the call to
mbedtls_ssl_calc_verify_md().
mbedtls_ssL_set_calc_verify_md() is used to select valid hashes when
writing the server's CertificateRequest message, as well as to verify
and act on the client's choice when reading its CertificateVerify
message.
If enabled at compile-time and configured via mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes()
the current code also offers SHA-1 in TLS 1.2. However, the SHA-1-based
handshake transcript in TLS 1.2 is different from the SHA-1 handshake
transcript used in TLS < 1.2, and we only maintain the latter
(through ssl_update_checksum_md5sha1()), but not the former.
Concretely, this will lead to CertificateVerify verification failure
if the client picks SHA-1 for the CertificateVerify message in a TLS 1.2
handshake.
This commit removes SHA-1 from the list of supported hashes in
the CertificateRequest message, and adapts two tests in ssl-opt.sh
which expect SHA-1 to be listed in the CertificateRequest message.
mbedtls_ssl_set_calc_verify_md() is only called from places
where it has been checked that TLS 1.2 is being used. The
corresponding compile-time and runtime guards checking the
version in mbedtls_ssl_set_calc_verify_md() are therefore
redundant and can be removed.
The previous code writes the content (the EC curve list) of the extension
before writing the extension length field at the beginning, which is common
in the library in places where we don't know the length upfront. Here,
however, we do traverse the EC curve list upfront to infer its length
and do the bounds check, so we can reorder the code to write the extension
linearly and hence improve readability.
This commit introduces the option MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC
which can be used to register a single supported elliptic curve
at compile time. It replaces the runtime configuration API
mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves() which allows to register a _list_
of supported elliptic curves.
In contrast to other options used to hardcode configuration options,
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC isn't a numeric option, but instead it's
only relevant if it's defined or not. To actually set the single
elliptic curve that should be supported, numeric options
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC_TLS_ID
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC_GRP_ID
must both be defined and provide the TLS ID and the Mbed TLS internal
ID and the chosen curve, respectively.
For both client/server the EC curve list is assumed not to be NULL:
- On the client-side, it's assumed when writing the
supported elliptic curve extension:
c54ee936d7/library/ssl_cli.c (L316)
- On the server, it is assumed when searching for a
suitable curve for the ECDHE exchange:
c54ee936d7/library/ssl_srv.c (L3200)
It is therefore not necessary to check this in mbedtls_ssl_check_curve().
ssl_write_supported_elliptic_curves_ext() is guarded by
```
#if defined(MBEDTLS_ECDH_C) || defined(MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C) || \
defined(MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE_ENABLED)
```
each of which implies (by check_config.h) that MBEDTLS_ECP_C
is enabled.
The fields
- mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::max_major_ver,
- mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::max_minor_ver
are used only for server-side RSA-based key exchanges
can be removed otherwise.
Reasons:
- If the transport type is fixed at compile-time,
mbedtls_ssl_read_version() and mbedtls_ssl_write_version()
are called with a compile-time determined `transport`
parameter, so the transport-type branch in their body
can be eliminated at compile-time.
- mbedtls_ssl_read_version() is called with addresses of
local variables, which so far need to be put on the stack
to be addressable. Inlining the call allows to read directly
into the registers holding these local variables.
This saves 60 bytes w.r.t. the measurement performed by
> ./scripts/baremetal.sh --rom --gcc
If the minor/major version is enforced at compile-time, the `major_ver`
and `minor_ver` fields in `mbedtls_ssl_context` are redundant and can
be removed.
This commit introduces the numeric compile-time constants
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MIN_MINOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MAX_MINOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MIN_MAJOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MAX_MAJOR_VER
which, when defined, overwrite the runtime configurable fields
mbedtls_ssl_config::min_major_ver etc. in the SSL configuration.
As for the preceding case of the ExtendedMasterSecret configuration,
it also introduces and puts to use getter functions for these variables
which evaluate to either a field access or the macro value, maintaining
readability of the code.
The runtime configuration API mbedtls_ssl_conf_{min|max}_version()
is kept for now but has no effect if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_XXX are set.
This is likely to be changed in a later commit but deliberately omitted
for now, in order to be able to study code-size benefits earlier in the
process.
