- out_ctr is public because it's transmited over the wire in DTLS (and in TLS
it can be inferred by a passive network attacker just by counting records).
- handshake mask is not a secret because it can be inferred by a passive
network attacker just logging record sequence number seen so far.
This commits reverts to plain memset() for cases like:
some_type foo;
memset( &foo, 0, sizeof( foo ) );
(Sometimes there is code between declaration in memset(), but it doesn't
matter as long as it doesn't touch foo.)
The reasoning is the same as in the previous commit: the stack shouldn't
contain sensitive data as we carefully wipe it after use.
We call xxx_init() on a structure when it has been freshly allocated (on the
stack or heap).
At this point it contains random-looking data none of which should be
sensitive, as all sensitive data is wiped using mbedtls_platform_zeroize()
when we're done using it and the memory area is going to be reclaimed (by
exiting the function or free()ing the buffer).
Add it in all files that use mbedtls_plaform_memset() but didn't already
include platfom_util.h.
In some configurations it just happened to work, either because it was
included indirectly or because the part of the code that used that function
was disabled, but it some configurations it broke, so let's fix it properly.
Steps:
1. sed -i 's/\bmemset(\([^)]\)/mbedtls_platform_memset(\1/g' library/*.c tinycrypt/*.c include/mbedtls/*.h scripts/data_files/*.fmt
2. Manually edit library/platform_util.c to revert to memset() in the
implementations of mbedtls_platform_memset() and mbedtls_platform_memcpy()
3. egrep -n '\<memset\>' library/*.c include/mbedtls/*.h tinycrypt/*.c
The remaining occurrences are in three categories:
a. From point 2 above.
b. In comments.
c. In the initialisation of memset_func, to be changed in a future commit.

Use MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_HARDWARE_ALT instead of a new global RNG
flag. When this flag is enabled, the platform provides the RNG.
When running unit tests, rnd_std_rand should be used by overriding
the mbedtls_hardware_poll.
As replacements of standard library functions, they should have the same
prototype, including return type.
While it doesn't usually matter when used directly, it does when the address
of the function is taken, as done with memset_func, used for implementing
mbedtls_platform_zeroize().
Warnings are treated as errors in Mbed TLS test. An error
"ssl_parse_client_hello_v2’ defined but not used" can occur in some
specific configurations and therefore tests will break.
Use similar flags for static function "ssl_parse_client_hello_v2" as
what is used when calling the function to prevent the compilation
warning/error.

This makes a mbedtls_pk_context memory-wise equivalent to a
mbedtls_uecc_keypair and removes a dynamic allocation, making the PK layer
zero-cost in terms of memory when PK_SINGLE_TYPE is enabled.
In very reduced configurations, we don't want the overhead of maintaining a
bool just to remember if the context is valid and checking that bit at every
point of entry.
Note: so far this validity bit also served as a proxy to ensure that pk_ctx
was valid (currently this is a pointer to a dynamically-allocated buffer). In
the next series of commits, this will be changed to a statically-allocated
buffer, so there will be no question about its validity.
In the end (after this commit and the next series), a pk_context_t will be
(memory-wise) just the same as a mbedtls_uecc_keypair when SINGLE_TYPE is
enabled - meaning the PK layer will have zero memory overhead in that case.
So far, with MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE disabled, the SSL module relied
on a undocumented feature of the PK module: that you can distinguish between
contexts that have been setup and context that haven't. This feature is going
to go away in the case of PK_SINGLE_TYPE, as we'll soon (as in: the next
commit does that) no longer be storing the (now two-valued) pk_info member.
Note even with this change, we could still distinguish if the context has been
set up by look if pk_ctx is NULL or not, but this is also going away in the
near future (a few more commits down the road), so not a good option either.
This is the first in a series of commit aimed at removing the pk_info
structures when we're building with MBEDTLS_PK_SINGLE_TYPE enabled.
Introducing this abstraction allows us to later make it a two-valued type
(valid, invalid) instead, which is much lighter.
For optional functions, we introduce an extra macro to tell if the function is
omitted. As the C preprocessor doesn't directly support comparing strings,
testing if the _FUNC macro is defined to NULL isn't obvious. One could
probably play tricks to avoid the need for _OMIT macros, but the small amount
of (entirely local) duplication here is probably a lesser evil than extra
preprocessor complexity.
We want public functions to resolve to the internal wrappers at compile-time.
For this we need the wrappers to be visible from where the public functions
are defined. A simple declaration is not enough if we want the compiler to be
able to inline the wrapper and eliminate function overhead.
This commit just copies verbatim the contents of pk_wrap.c into pk.c. The next
commit will clean up the result (redundant includes etc.).
This achieves two related goals:
1. Those members are now only accessed via the accessor function (except in
code paths that we don't care about: those guarded by
MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT_SUPPORT or MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE)
2. When we turn on compile-time dispatch, we don't obviously don't want to
keep a runtime NULL check.
For debug this requires changing the signature or the accessor function to
return int; this is done without changing the signature of the accessed
function.
1. Mark an RSA-alt-specific code path as such.
2. Move NULL check for wrapper function closer to the use of that function.
Those are in preparation of the next commit.
This is the first commit in a series aiming at implementing optional
compile-time dispatch when a single PK type is hardcoded. At the end of this
series, the functions introduced here will directly resolve to the correct
function at compile-time when this (to be created) option is enabled.

On the baremetal side, there were changes in order to add a tinycrypt-based

implementations (with or without tinycrypt).
This commit keeps the function pk_write_ec_privkey() but changes its
implementation in the non-tinycrypt configuration in order to match the
implementation of pk_write_ec_private(), which is in turn removed it was only
used in that place.
The tinycrypt version of pk_write_ec_private() was already writing
constant-length private keys, so there is nothing to change here.

This commit re-implements the previously introduced internal
verification chain API in the case where verification callbacks
are disabled. In this situation, it is not necessary to maintain
the list of individual certificates and flags comprising the
verification chain - instead, it suffices to just keep track
of the length and the total (=merged) flags.
When verifying an X.509 certificate, the current verification logic
maintains an instance of the internal mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_chain
structure representing the state of the verification process. This
instance references the list of certificates that comprise the chain
built so far together with their verification flags. This information
must be stored during verification because it's being passed to the
verification callback at the end of verification - if the user has
specified those.
If the user hasn't specified a verification callback, it is not
necessary to maintain the list of CRTs, and it is also not necessary
to maintain verification flags for each CRT individually, as they're
merged at the end of the verification process.
To allow a readable simplification of the code in case no verification
callbacks are used, this commit introduces a zero-cost abstraction layer
for the functionality that's required from the verification chain structure:
- init/reset
- add a new CRT to the chain
- get pointer to current CRT flags
- add flags to EE certificate
- get current chain length
- trigger callbacks and get final (merged) flags
This gives flexibility for re-implementing the verification chain
structure, e.g. in the case where no verification callbacks are
provided, and there's hence no need to store CRTs and flags
individually. This will be done in a later commit.
When MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH is set, both the underlying digest context
and the HMAC data are embedded into the mbedtls_md_context; otherwise,
they're dynamically allocated and referenced from mbedtls_md_context.
When the HMAC data is embedded in mbedtls_md_context, it's unnecessary
to check whether mbedtls_md_context::hmac_ctx is NULL, because that's
never the case in defined behaviour, but the check has kept for
uniformity so far. However, contrary to the expectation that compilers
would silently remove this check as always false, ARMC6 complains about
it, breaking some tests in all.sh.
This commit fixes this by guarding checks for
mbedtls_md_context::hmac_ctx == NULL
by !MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH.
Recall that in the default configuration, Mbed TLS provides access
digest implementations through two layers of indirection:
1) Call of MD API (e.g. mbedtls_md_update())
2) Call of function pointer from MD info structure
3) Actual digest implementation (e.g. mbedtls_sha256_update()).
Ideally, if only a single digest is enabled - say SHA-256 - then calling
mbedtls_md_update() should _directly_ jump to mbedtls_sha256_update(),
with both layers of indirection removed. So far, however, setting
MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH will only remove the second - function pointer -
layer of indirection, while keeping the non-inlined stub implementations
of e.g. mbedtls_md_update() around.
This commit is a step towards allowing to define implementations of
the MD API as `static inline` in case we know that they are so small
that they should be defined in md.h and not in md.c.
In a nutshell, the approach is as follows: For an MD API function
mbedtls_md_xxx() that should be inlin-able, introduce its implementation
as a `static inline` wrapper `mbedtls_md_xxx_internal()` in md.h,
and then define mbedtls_md_xxx() either in md.h or in md.c, by just
calling mbedtls_md_xxx_internal().
Moving the implementations of those MD API functions that should be
inlinable to md.h requires the presence of both the MD info struct
and all specific digest wrapper functions in md.h, and this is what
this commit ensures, by moving them from md.c into a new internal
header file md_internal.h. Implementing the aforementioned wrappers for
those MD API that should be inlinable is left for subsequent commits.
ARMC5 appears to use the heuristic that as soon as a function's address
is taken, the function can no longer be removed from the resulting object
file (which is not necessarily true if all uses of the functions address
can be inlined).
Circumvent this lack of optimization by not returning function pointers.
This commit introduces the configuration option
MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH
which can be used to hardcode support for a single digest algorithm
at compile-time, at the benefit of reduced code-size.
To use, it needs to be defined to evaluate to a macro of the form
MBEDTLS_MD_INFO_{DIGEST}, and macros MBEDTLS_MD_INFO_{DIGEST}_FIELD
must be defined, giving rise to the various aspects (name, type,
size, ...) of the chosen digest algorithm. MBEDTLS_MD_INFO_SHA256
provides an example, but other algorithms can be added if needed.
At the moment, the effect of using MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH is that
the implementation of the MD API (e.g. mbedtls_md_update()) need no
longer to through the abstraction of the mbedtls_md_info structures
by calling their corresponding function pointers fields (akin to
virtual functions in C++), but the directly call the corresponding
core digest function (such as mbedtls_sha256_update()).
Therefore, MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH so far removes the second layer
of indirection in the chain
User calls MD API -> MD API calls underlying digest impl'n
-> Core digest impl'n does the actual work,
but the first indirection remains, as the MD API remains untouched
and cannot yet be inlined. Studying to what extend inlining the
shortened MD API implementations would lead to further code-savings
is left for a later commit.
In builds enabling only a single MD digest, we want to be able to
implement the MD info getter functions by returning compile-time
constants matching the fields of the MD info structures used so far.
To avoid information duplication hardening maintainability, this
commit introduces the possibility of providing the various aspects
of a particular digest implementation by defining macros
MBEDTLS_MD_INFO_DIGEST_FIELD (e.g. MBEDTLS_MD_INFO_SHA256_SIZE)
and to generate the corresponding mbedtls_md_info instance from
this set of macros, via the new macro MBEDTLS_MD_INFO().
This way, we'll be able to switch between MD info based builds
and single-digest builds without information duplication.
This commit continues the introduction of the MD digest implementation
abstraction layer given by `mbedtls_md_handle_t` by adding getter
functions returning the various properties of an implementation
(e.g. name, digest type, digest size). For the existing implementation,
these are just structure field accesses; however, in configurations
hardcoding the choice of a fixed digest algorithm, we'll be able to
implement them as inline functions returning compile-time constants.
As has been previously done for ciphersuites, this commit introduces
a zero-cost abstraction layer around the type
mbedtls_md_info const *
whose valid values represent implementations of message digest algorithms.
Access to a particular digest implementation can be requested by name or
digest ID through the API mbedtls_md_info_from_xxx(), which either returns
a valid implementation or NULL, representing failure.
This commit replaces such uses of `mbedtls_md_info const *` by an abstract
type `mbedtls_md_handle_t` whose valid values represent digest implementations,
and which has a designated invalid value MBEDTLS_MD_INVALID_HANDLE.
The purpose of this abstraction layer is to pave the way for builds which
support precisely one digest algorithm. In this case, mbedtls_md_handle_t
can be implemented as a two-valued type, with one value representing the
invalid handle, and the unique valid value representing the unique enabled
digest.
Cookies are fully opaque so we can change the hash used at any time, it's not
part of the API.
The cookie module handles truncation, so it's simpler to always use SHA-256
rather than check if SHA-224 is available.
Moved some functions under defined to get rid of compiler warnings.
Functions moved under defines:
- mbedtls_x509_get_alg
- mbedtls_x509_get_alg_null
- mbedtls_x509_get_time
- mbedtls_x509_get_ext
- mbedtls_x509_sig_alg_gets
- mbedtls_x509_key_size_helper
Left one function (mbedtls_x509_write_names) as non static as it increased code size.

The TinyCrypt PK signature wrapper uses ASN.1 writing functions
for length and tag, accounting for the only dependency of the
baremetal build on ASN.1 writing.
Since all lengths to be encoded are below 128 Bytes and are hence
ASN.1 encoded as single Bytes, the dependency on ASN.1 writing can
be removed at low complexity by writing the length and tags directly.

were previously not parsed in configurations using TinyCrypt
instead of legacy ECC crypto.
The PK type MBEDTLS_PK_ECDSA is never returned from
`mbedtls_pk_info_from_type()`. Instead, EC keys either
are identified as MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY_DH (in case they
must only be used for ECDHE) or MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY (in
case they can be used for any algorithm).
With TinyCrypt and legacy ECC mutually exclusive, we don't have
to use #if TINYCRYPT #else #if LEGACY #endif #endif anymore, but
can add the TC and legacy based ECC implementations independently.
- TinyCrypt uses `0` for errors.
- The first argument to uECC_verify() should be the public key,
but the previous code passed the beginning of the entire
private-public key structure.
The PK-type MBEDTLS_PK_ECDSA isn't really used by the library.
Especially, when parsing a generic EC key, a PK context of type
MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY will be requested. Hence, to drop in TinyCrypt
for the legacy-ECC implementation, the PK type that TinyCrypt
implements must be MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY.
The SSL context maintains a set of 'out pointers' indicating the
address at which to write the header fields of the next outgoing
record. Some of these addresses have a static offset from the
beginning of the record header, while other offsets can vary
depending on the active record encryption mechanism: For example,
if an explicit IV is in use, there's an offset between the end
of the record header and the beginning of the encrypted data to
allow the explicit IV to be placed in between; also, if the DTLS
Connection ID (CID) feature is in use, the CID is part of the
record header, shifting all subsequent information (length, IV, data)
to the back.
When setting up an SSL context, the out pointers are initialized
according to the identity transform + no CID, and it is important
to keep them up to date whenever the record encryption mechanism
changes, which is done by the helper function ssl_update_out_pointers().
During context deserialization, updating the out pointers according
to the deserialized record transform went missing, leaving the out
pointers the initial state. When attemping to encrypt a record in
this state, this lead to failure if either a CID or an explicit IV
was in use. This wasn't caught in the tests by the bad luck that
they didn't use CID, _and_ used the default ciphersuite based on
ChaChaPoly, which doesn't have an explicit IV. Changing either of
this would have made the existing tests fail.
This commit fixes the bug by adding a call to ssl_update_out_pointers()
to ssl_context_load() implementing context deserialization.
Extending test coverage is left for a separate commit.
This patch fixes an issue we encountered with more stringent compiler
warnings. The signature_is_good variable has a possibility of being
used uninitialized. This patch moves the use of the variable to a
place where it cannot be used while uninitialized.

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 Crypto' 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.
Fixes#237.

The NO_INLINE annotation of tls_prf_sha256() and tls_prf_sha384() from
the last commit surprisingly had an influence on ARMC5 compilation in
that tls_prf_generic() was no longer automatically inlined into
tls_prf_sha256() if only the latter was enabled (and is the point
where tls_prf_generic() is called). This commit forces inlining
of tls_prf_generic() in this case.
Usually, compilers are clever enough to pick the best inlining
strategy, but in this instance, it appears that compiling on ARMC6,
the compilers inlines xxx_prf_yyy() and xxx_calc_finished_yyy()
even though it really shouldn't. Forbid inlining through the use
of __attribute__((noinline)).
Somehow, at least ARMC5 isn't able to recognize this automatically.
Since some of the arguments to ssl_populate_transform() are compile-
time constants in reduced configurations, inlining leads to slightly
shorter code.
This saves a few bytes in configurations where only one hash
is enabled, and configurations allowing multiple hashes probably
don't care about code-size anyway.
This function is called on client-only once the ciphersuite has
been chosen and it it is known which digest the client will need
for the handshake transcript throughout the handshake, and causes
all other unneeded handshake transcripts to be discontinued.
(On the server, we cannot call this function because we don't know
which hash the client will those in its CertificateVerify message).
However, the benefit of this call is marginal, since transcript hash
computation is negligible compared to asymmetric crypto, and moreover
the handshake transcript contexts for the unused digests are still
stored in the SSL handshake parameter structure and not freed until
the end of the handshake.
Finally, if we're running on a _really_ constrained client, there
will be only one hash function enabled anyway, and in this case
the checksum optimization has no effect.
This commit therefore removes checksum optimization altogether,
saving some code on constrained systems.

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

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
