Avoid compiler errors when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_KEY_FILE_ID_ENCODES_OWNER
is set by using the application ID type.
[Error] psa_crypto_slot_management.c@175,9: used type 'psa_key_id_t' (aka 'psa_key_file_id_t') where arithmetic or pointer type is required
This function no longer modifies anything, so it doesn't actually
allocate the slot. Now, it just returns the empty key slot, and it's
up to the caller to cause the slot to be in use (or not).
The flag to mark key slots as allocated was introduced to mark slots
that are claimed and in use, but do not have key material yet, at a
time when creating a key used several API functions: allocate a slot,
then progressively set its metadata, and finally create the key
material. Now that all of these steps are combined into a single
API function call, the notion of allocated-but-not-filled slot is no
longer relevant. So remove the corresponding flag.
A slot is occupied iff there is a key in it. (For a key in a secure
element, the key material is not present, but the slot contains the
key metadata.) This key must have a type which is nonzero, so use this
as an indicator that a slot is in use.
There is now a field for the key size in the key slot in memory. Use
it.
This makes psa_get_key_attributes() marginally faster at the expense
of memory that is available anyway in the current memory layout (16
bits for the size, 16 bits for flags). That's not the goal, though:
the goal is to simplify the code, in particular to make it more
uniform between transparent keys (whose size can be recomputed) and
keys in secure elements (whose size cannot be recomputed).
For keys in a secure element, the bit size is now saved by serializing
the type psa_key_bits_t (which is an alias for uint16_t) rather than
size_t.
Change the type of key slots in memory to use
psa_core_key_attributes_t rather than separate fields. The goal is to
simplify some parts of the code. This commit only does the mechanical
replacement, not the substitution.
The bit-field `allocate` is now a flag `PSA_KEY_SLOT_FLAG_ALLOCATED`
in the `flags` field.
Write accessor functions for flags.
Key slots now contain a bit size field which is currently unused.
Subsequent commits will make use of it.
Move the "core attributes" to a substructure of psa_key_attribute_t.
The motivation is to be able to use the new structure
psa_core_key_attributes_t internally.
For a key in a secure element, save the bit size alongside the slot
number.
This is a quick-and-dirty implementation where the storage format
depends on sizeof(size_t), which is fragile. This should be replaced
by a more robust implementation before going into production.
Pass information via a key attribute structure rather than as separate
parameters to psa_crypto_storage functions. This makes it easier to
maintain the code when the metadata of a key evolves.
This has negligible impact on code size (+4B with "gcc -Os" on x86_64).
When creating a key with a lifetime that places it in a secure
element, retrieve the appropriate driver table entry.
This commit doesn't yet achieve behavior: so far the code only
retrieves the driver, it doesn't call the driver.
Now that psa_allocate_key() is no longer a public function, expose
psa_internal_allocate_key_slot() instead, which provides a pointer to
the slot to its caller.
Remove the key creation functions from before the attribute-based API,
i.e. the key creation functions that worked by allocating a slot, then
setting metadata through the handle and finally creating key material.
“Tampering detected” was misleading because in the real world it can
also arise due to a software bug. “Corruption detected” is neutral and
more precisely reflects what can trigger the error.

Only allow creating keys in the application (user) range. Allow
opening keys in the implementation (vendor) range as well.
Compared with what the implementation allowed, which was undocumented:
0 is now allowed; values from 0x40000000 to 0xfffeffff are now
forbidden.
Change the scope of key identifiers to be global, rather than
per lifetime. As a result, you now need to specify the lifetime of a
key only when creating it.
Differentiate between _key identifiers_, which are always `uint32_t`,
and _key file identifiers_, which are platform-dependent. Normally,
the two are the same.
In `psa/crypto_platform.h`, define `psa_app_key_id_t` (which is always
32 bits, the standard key identifier type) and
`psa_key_file_id_t` (which will be different in some service builds).
A subsequent commit will introduce a platform where the two are different.
It would make sense for the function declarations in `psa/crypto.h` to
use `psa_key_file_id_t`. However this file is currently part of the
PSA Crypto API specification, so it must stick to the standard type
`psa_key_id_t`. Hence, as long as the specification and Mbed Crypto
are not separate, use the implementation-specific file
`psa/crypto_platform.h` to define `psa_key_id_t` as `psa_key_file_id_t`.
In the library, systematically use `psa_key_file_id_t`.

PSA_MAX_PERSISTENT_KEY_IDENTIFIER was actually one plus the maximum
key identifier. Change it to be the maximum value, and change the code
that uses it accordingly.
There is no semantic change here (the maximum value hasn't changed).
This commit only makes the implementation clearer.
Remove the type and bits arguments to psa_allocate_key() and
psa_create_key(). They can be useful if the implementation wants to
know exactly how much space to allocate for the slot, but many
implementations (including ours) don't care, and it's possible to work
around their lack by deferring size-dependent actions to the time when
the key material is created. They are a burden to applications and
make the API more complex, and the benefits aren't worth it.
Change the API and adapt the implementation, the units test and the
sample code accordingly.
When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SPM is defined, the code is being built for SPM (Secure Partition Manager)
integration which separates the code into two parts: NSPE (Non-Secure Processing Environment) and SPE
(Secure Processing Environment). When building for the SPE, an additional header file should be included.
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.
Move psa_load_persistent_key_into_slot,
psa_internal_make_key_persistent and psa_internal_release_key_slot to
the slot management module.
Expose psa_import_key_into_slot from the core.
After this commit, there are no longer any functions declared in
psa_crypto_slot_management.h and defined in psa_crypto.c. There are
still function calls in both directions between psa_crypto.c and
psa_crypto_slot_management.c.
Move the key slot array and its initialization and wiping to the slot
management module.
Also move the lowest-level key slot access function psa_get_key_slot
and the auxiliary function for slot allocation
psa_internal_allocate_key_slot to the slot management module.
Implement psa_allocate_key, psa_open_key, psa_create_key,
psa_close_key.
Add support for keys designated to handles to psa_get_key_slot, and
thereby to the whole API.
Allocated and non-allocated keys can coexist. This is a temporary
stage in order to transition from the use of direct slot numbers to
allocated handles only. Once all the tests and sample programs have
been migrated to use handles, the implementation will be simplified
and made more robust with support for handles only.
