Remove front matter and DSS parameters from our DSA key formats, both
keypair and public key, to make it just a representation of the integer
private key, `x`, or the public key, `y`, respectively.
DSA and static DH need extra domain parameters. Instead of passing these
in with the keys themselves, add get and set functions to set and
retrieve this information about keys.
Remove front matter from our EC key format, to make it just the contents
of an ECPoint as defined by SEC1 section 2.3.3.
As a consequence of the simplification, remove the restriction on not
being able to use an ECDH key with ECDSA. There is no longer any OID
specified when importing a key, so we can't reject importing of an ECDH
key for the purpose of ECDSA based on the OID.
Remove pkcs-1 and rsaEncryption front matter from RSA public keys. Move
code that was shared between RSA and other key types (like EC keys) to
be used only with non-RSA keys.
Copy the nice and clear documentation from psa_export_key() as to what
implementations are allowed to do regarding key export formats, as the
same applies to public keys.
We've added documentation for how context objects for multi-part
operations must be initialized consistently for key policy, hash,
cipher, and MAC. Update the generator documentation to be consistent
with how we've documented the other operations.
Add new initializers for cipher operation objects and use them in our
tests and library code. Prefer using the macro initializers due to their
straightforwardness.
Add new initializers for MAC operation objects and use them in our tests
and library code. Prefer using the macro initializers due to their
straightforwardness.
Add new initializers for hash operation objects and use them in our
tests and library code. Prefer using the macro initializers due to their
straightforwardness.
Add new initializers for key policies and use them in our docs, example
programs, tests, and library code. Prefer using the macro initializers
due to their straightforwardness.
Some parts of the library, and crypto drivers, need to see key types,
algorithms, policies, etc. but not API functions. Move portable
integral types and macros to build and analyze values of these types
to a separate headers crypto_types.h and crypto_values.h.
No functional changes, code was only moved from crypto.h to the new headers.
Define psa_status_t to int32_t unconditionally. There's no reason to
refer to psa_error_t here: psa_error_t is int32_t if it's present. We
would only need a conditional definition if psa_defs.h and
psa_crypto.h used the same type name.
Keep the conditional definition of PSA_SUCCESS. Although the C
preprocessor allows a duplicate definition for a macro, it has to be
the exact same token sequence, not merely an equivalent way to build
the same value.
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.
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.
Allow use of persistent keys, including configuring them, importing and
exporting them, and destroying them.
When getting a slot using psa_get_key_slot, there are 3 scenarios that
can occur if the keys lifetime is persistent:
1. Key type is PSA_KEY_TYPE_NONE, no persistent storage entry:
- The key slot is treated as a standard empty key slot
2. Key type is PSA_KEY_TYPE_NONE, persistent storage entry exists:
- Attempt to load the key from persistent storage
3. Key type is not PSA_KEY_TYPE_NONE:
- As checking persistent storage on every use of the key could
be expensive, the persistent key is assumed to be saved in
persistent storage, the in-memory key is continued to be used.
This commit adds KDF algorithm identifiers `PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF(HASH)`
to the PSA crypto API. They represent the key derivation functions
used by TLS 1.2 for the PreMasterSecret->MasterSecret and
MasterSecret->KeyBlock conversions.
Use m for the bit size of the field order, not q which is
traditionally the field order.
Correct and clarify the private key representation format as has been
done for the private key and ECDH shared secret formats.
The endianness actually depends on the curve type.
Correct the terminology around "curve size" and "order of the curve".
I tried to find a formulation that is comprehensible to programmers
who do not know the underlying mathematics, but nonetheless correct
and precise.
Use similar terminology in other places that were using "order of the
curve" to describe the bit size associated with the curve.
psa_key_derivation requires the caller to specify a maximum capacity.
This commit adds a special value that indicates that the maximum
capacity should be the maximum supported by the algorithm. This is
currently meant only for selection algorithms used on the shared
secret produced by a key agreement.
A key selection algorithm is similar to a key derivation algorithm in
that it takes a secret input and produces a secret output stream.
However, unlike key derivation algorithms, there is no expectation
that the input cannot be reconstructed from the output. Key selection
algorithms are exclusively meant to be used on the output of a key
agreement algorithm to select chunks of the shared secret.
Change the import/export format of private elliptic curve keys from
RFC 5915 to the raw secret value. This commit updates the format
specification and the import code, but not the export code.
Add comments noting that the maximum length of a MAC must fit in
PSA_ALG_MAC_TRUNCATION_MASK. Add a unit test that verifies that the
maximum MAC size fits.
