In psa_import_key, the key bits value was uninitialized before
calling the secure element driver import function. There is a
potential issue if the driver returns PSA_SUCCESS without setting
the key bits. This shouldn't happen, but shouldn't be discounted
either, so we initialize the key bits to an invalid issue.
Adopt a simple method for tracking whether there was a failure: each
fallible operation sets overall_status, unless overall_status is
already non-successful. Thus in case of multiple failures, the
function always reports whatever failed first. This may not always be
the right thing, but it's simple.
This revealed a bug whereby if the only failure was the call to
psa_destroy_se_key(), i.e. if the driver reported a failure or if the
driver lacked support for destroying keys, psa_destroy_key() would
ignore that failure.
For a key in a secure element, if creating a transaction file fails,
don't touch storage, but close the key in memory. This may not be
right, but it's no wronger than it was before. Tracked in
https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-crypto/issues/215
When a key slot is wiped, a copy of the key material may remain in
operations. This is undesirable, but does not violate the safety of
the code. Tracked in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-crypto/issues/86
The methods to import and generate a key in a secure element drivers
were written for an earlier version of the application-side interface.
Now that there is a psa_key_attributes_t structure that combines all
key metadata including its lifetime (location), type, size, policy and
extra type-specific data (domain parameters), pass that to drivers
instead of separate arguments for each piece of metadata. This makes
the interface less cluttered.
Update parameter names and descriptions to follow general conventions.
Document the public-key output on key generation more precisely.
Explain that it is optional in a driver, and when a driver would
implement it. Declare that it is optional in the core, too (which
means that a crypto core might not support drivers for secure elements
that do need this feature).
Update the implementation and the tests accordingly.
Register an existing key in a secure element.
Minimal implementation that doesn't call any driver method and just
lets the application declare whatever it wants.
Pass the key creation method (import/generate/derive/copy) to the
driver methods to allocate or validate a slot number. This allows
drivers to enforce policies such as "this key slot can only be used
for keys generated inside the secure element".
Let psa_start_key_creation know what type of key creation this is. This
will be used at least for key registration in a secure element, which
is a peculiar kind of creation since it uses existing key material.
Allow the application to choose the slot number in a secure element,
rather than always letting the driver choose.
With this commit, any application may request any slot. In an
implementation with isolation, it's up to the service to filter key
creation requests and apply policies to limit which applications can
request which slot.
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).
Add a slot_number field to psa_key_attributes_t and getter/setter
functions. Since slot numbers can have the value 0, indicate the
presence of the field via a separate flag.
In psa_get_key_attributes(), report the slot number if the key is in a
secure element.
When creating a key, for now, applications cannot choose a slot
number. A subsequent commit will add this capability in the secure
element HAL.
Add infrastructure for internal, external and dual-use flags, with a
compile-time check (if static_assert is available) to ensure that the
same numerical value doesn't get declared for two different purposes
in crypto_struct.h (external or dual-use) and
psa_crypto_core.h (internal).
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random can only return up to
MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_MAX_REQUEST (normally 1024) bytes at a time. So if
more than that is requested, call mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random in a loop.
When psa_generate_random fails, psa_generate_key_internal frees the
key buffer but a the pointer to the now-freed buffer in the slot. Then
psa_generate_key calls psa_fail_key_creation which sees the pointer
and calls free() again.
This bug was introduced by ff5f0e7221
"Implement atomic-creation psa_{generate,generator_import}_key" which
changed how psa_generate_key() cleans up on errors. I went through the
code and could not find a similar bug in cleanup on an error during
key creation.
Fix#207
Conflict resolution:
* `scripts/config.pl`:
Take the exclusion of `MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C` from the API branch.
Take the removal of `MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_STORAGE_ITS_C` (obsolete) from
the development branch.
* `tests/scripts/all.sh`:
Multiple instances of factoring a sequence of `config.pl` calls into
a mere `config.pl baremetal` in the development branch, and a change in
the composition of `baremetal` in the API branch. In each case, take the
version from development.
* `tests/suites/test_suite_psa_crypto_slot_management.function`:
A function became non-static in development and disappeared in the API
branch. Keep the version from the API branch. Functions need to be
non-static if they're defined but unused in some configurations,
which is not the case for any function in this file at the moment.
* `tests/suites/test_suite_psa_crypto.function`:
Consecutive changes in the two branches, reconciled.
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.
65528 bits is more than any reasonable key until we start supporting
post-quantum cryptography.
This limit is chosen to allow bit-sizes to be stored in 16 bits, with
65535 left to indicate an invalid value. It's a whole number of bytes,
which facilitates some calculations, in particular allowing a key of
exactly PSA_CRYPTO_MAX_STORAGE_SIZE to be created but not one bit
more.
As a resource usage limit, this is arguably too large, but that's out
of scope of the current commit.
Test that key import, generation and derivation reject overly large
sizes.
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.
Add a parameter to the key import method of a secure element driver to
make it report the key size in bits. This is necessary (otherwise the
core has no idea what the bit-size is), and making import report it is
easier than adding a separate method (for other key creation methods,
this information is an input, not an output).
Nothing has been saved to disk yet, but there is stale data in
psa_crypto_transaction. This stale data should not be reused, but do
wipe it to reduce the risk of it mattering somehow in the future.
