Explain how MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN is set next to the security
strength statement, rather than giving a partial explanation (current
setting only) in the documentation of MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN.
NIST and many other sources call it a "personalization string", and
certainly not "device-specific identifiers" which is actually somewhat
misleading since this is just one of many things that might go into a
personalization string.
Improve the formatting and writing of the documentation based on what
had been done for CTR_DRBG.
Document the maximum size and nullability of some buffer parameters.
This is a documentation-only change, but one that users who care about
NIST compliance may be interested in, to review if they're using the
module in a compliant way.
Document that a derivation function is used.
Document the security strength of the DRBG depending on the
compile-time configuration and how it is set up. In particular,
document how the nonce specified in SP 800-90A is set.
Mention how to link the ctr_drbg module with the entropy module.
* State explicit whether several numbers are in bits or bytes.
* Clarify whether buffer pointer parameters can be NULL.
* Explain the value of constants that are dependent on the configuration.
* origin/pr/2826:
Enable MBEDTLS_MEMORY_DEBUG in memory buffer alloc test in all.sh
Remove unnecessary memory buffer alloc and memory backtrace unsets
Disable DTLS proxy tests for MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC test
all.sh: restructure memory allocator tests
Add missing dependency in memory buffer alloc set in all.sh
Don't set MBEDTLS_MEMORY_DEBUG through `scripts/config.pl full`
Add cfg dep MBEDTLS_MEMORY_DEBUG->MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C
Add all.sh run with full config and ASan enabled
Add all.sh run with MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C enabled
Update documentation of exceptions for `config.pl full`
Adapt all.sh to removal of buffer allocator from full config
Disable memory buffer allocator in full config
Check dependencies of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE in check_config.h
With the removal of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C from the
full config, there are no tests for it remaining in all.sh.
This commit adds a build as well as runs of `make test` and
`ssl-opt.sh` with MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C enabled to all.sh.
Previously, numerous all.sh tests manually disabled the buffer allocator
or memory backtracting after setting a full config as the starting point.
With the removal of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C
from full configs, this is no longer necessary.
