So far, ssl_client2 and ssl_server2 were relying on MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C
being set. This commit adapts them to use HMAC DRBG in case CTR DRBG
is disabled in the configuration.
Note that disabling CTR DRBG in favor of HMAC DRBG can be useful on
constrained systems because Mbed TLS' HMAC DRBG is slightly smaller,
and moreover needed anyway as part of deterministic ECDSA.
- a comment regarding the implementation of hmac_drbg_reseed_core()
was misplaced.
- add more references to the standard, and add details on how the
comments in the code refer to various parts of the standard.
Now function mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname is compile-time configurable
in config.h with define MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_HOSTNAME_VERIFICATION.
This affects to many x509 API's. See config.h for details.
ssl_client2 and ssl_server2 either allow loading specific CRTs
and CAs from files, or to leave them unspecified, in which case
they're automatically picked from the test certificates.
The test certificates should be chosen in a way that when
not specifying any CRT or CA parameters, the automatically
chosen ones match - but if one of them is specified but not
the other, one should not expect tests to succeed.
With the recent switch to Secp256r1-based test certificates,
the default test certificates have changed, which breaks some
ssl-opt.sh tests which specify the server CRT explicitly but
not the client trusted CAs.
This commit fixes this by specifying the client's trusted CA
explicitly in accordance with the explicitly specified server CRT.
According to SP800-90A, the DRBG seeding process should use a nonce
of length `security_strength / 2` bits as part of the DRBG seed. It
further notes that this nonce may be drawn from the same source of
entropy that is used for the first `security_strength` bits of the
DRBG seed. The present HMAC DRBG implementation does that, requesting
`security_strength * 3 / 2` bits of entropy from the configured entropy
source in total to form the initial part of the DRBG seed.
However, some entropy sources may have thresholds in terms of how much
entropy they can provide in a single call to their entropy gathering
function which may be exceeded by the present HMAC DRBG implementation
even if the threshold is not smaller than `security_strength` bits.
Specifically, this is the case for our own entropy module implementation
which only allows requesting at most 32 Bytes of entropy at a time
in configurations disabling SHA-512, and this leads to runtime failure
of HMAC DRBG when used with Mbed TLS' own entropy callbacks in such
configurations.
This commit fixes this by splitting the seed entropy acquisition into
two calls, one requesting `security_strength` bits first, and another
one requesting `security_strength / 2` bits for the nonce.
Previously, configs/baremetal_test.h added MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP384R1_ENABLED
because we didn't have sufficient test certificates using Secp256r1. Now that
these test certificates have been added, we can successfully run
ssl_client2 and ssl_server2 with just Secp256r1 enabled.
This commit adds the script scripts/generate_certs.sh which
parses library/certs.c and inserts certificate and key files
for any block of the form
/* BEGIN FILE [string|binary] [variable|macro] NAME FILE */
...
/* END FILE */
Here, the first argument string / binary indicates whether the
file should be inserted as a string or as a binary array. The
second argument indicates whether the resulting object should
be registered as a C variable or a macro.
This script allows to easily update certs.c in case any of the
test certificates from tests/data_files change, or new test
certificates / keys need to be added.
One test for running with MBEDTLS_ECDH_C on and one
for running MBEDTLS_ECDH_C off. Run ssl-opt.sh with Default, DTLS
and compatibility tests with TLS-ECDHE-ECDSA-WITH-AES-256-CBC-SHA.
tinyCrypt is still tested in the baremetal tests since it
is enabled in baremetal.h. Tests for minimal modifictions
of the default / full config enabling tinyCrypt will be
added elsewhere.
The use of tinyCrypt is restricted Secp256r1-only, and a check in
ssl_ciphersuite_is_match() ensures that an EC ciphersuite is chosen
only if the client advertised support for Secp256r1, too.
In a way inconsistent with the rest of the library restricting the
use of tinyCrypt to pure-ECDHE, the previous ServerKeyExchange writing
routine would use tinyCrypt also for ECDHE-PSK-based ciphersuites.
This commit fixes this.
Previously, MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDH[E]_XXX_ENABLED would imply
that MBEDTLS_ECDH_C is set, but with the introduction of tinyCrypt
as an alternative ECDH implementation, this is no longer the case.
tinyCrypt uses a global RNG without context parameter while Mbed TLS in its
default configuration uses RNG+CTX bound to the SSL configuration.
This commit restricts the use of tinyCrypt to configurations that use a
global RNG function with NULL context by setting MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_RNG in
the configuration. This allows to define a wrapper RNG to be used by
tinyCrypt which maps to this global hardcoded RNG.
