Some of the documentation is obsolete in its reference to key slots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.
This commit marks the beginning of the removal of support for direct
access to key slots. From this commit on, programs that use
psa_key_slot_t will no longer compile.
Subsequent commits will remove the now-unused legacy support in
psa_crypto.c.
Replace `psa_key_slot_t key` by `psa_key_handle_t` in function
declarations.
This is a transition period during which handles are key slot numbers
and the whole library can still be used by accessing a key slot number
without allocating a handle.
Allow use of persistent keys, including configuring them, importing and
exporting them, and destroying them.
When getting a slot using psa_get_key_slot, there are 3 scenarios that
can occur if the keys lifetime is persistent:
1. Key type is PSA_KEY_TYPE_NONE, no persistent storage entry:
- The key slot is treated as a standard empty key slot
2. Key type is PSA_KEY_TYPE_NONE, persistent storage entry exists:
- Attempt to load the key from persistent storage
3. Key type is not PSA_KEY_TYPE_NONE:
- As checking persistent storage on every use of the key could
be expensive, the persistent key is assumed to be saved in
persistent storage, the in-memory key is continued to be used.
Add missing checks for defined(MBEDTLS_MD_C) around types and
functions that require it (HMAC, HKDF, TLS12_PRF).
Add missing checks for defined(MBEDTLS_ECDSA_DETERMINISTIC) around
code that calls mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det().
Add missing checks for defined(MBEDTLS_ECDH_C) around ECDH-specific
functions.
This commit adds KDF algorithm identifiers `PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF(HASH)`
to the PSA crypto API. They represent the key derivation functions
used by TLS 1.2 for the PreMasterSecret->MasterSecret and
MasterSecret->KeyBlock conversions.
Use m for the bit size of the field order, not q which is
traditionally the field order.
Correct and clarify the private key representation format as has been
done for the private key and ECDH shared secret formats.
The endianness actually depends on the curve type.
Correct the terminology around "curve size" and "order of the curve".
I tried to find a formulation that is comprehensible to programmers
who do not know the underlying mathematics, but nonetheless correct
and precise.
Use similar terminology in other places that were using "order of the
curve" to describe the bit size associated with the curve.
psa_key_derivation requires the caller to specify a maximum capacity.
This commit adds a special value that indicates that the maximum
capacity should be the maximum supported by the algorithm. This is
currently meant only for selection algorithms used on the shared
secret produced by a key agreement.
A key selection algorithm is similar to a key derivation algorithm in
that it takes a secret input and produces a secret output stream.
However, unlike key derivation algorithms, there is no expectation
that the input cannot be reconstructed from the output. Key selection
algorithms are exclusively meant to be used on the output of a key
agreement algorithm to select chunks of the shared secret.
Change the import/export format of private elliptic curve keys from
RFC 5915 to the raw secret value. This commit updates the format
specification and the import code, but not the export code.
Add extern "C" wrappers around type and function declarations to enable C++
interoperability of the driver header. This is done so that the driver
functions and types can be used or implmented by C++ code.
Convert PSA Crypto driver model structs to typedefs so that the `struct`
name doesn't need to be used and for consistent style with other PSA
structures.
The file crypto_driver.h was not using the header guard style as other PSA
Crypto header files. Remove the `__` prefix and suffix. Use C-style
comments for the end-of-guard comment.
The driver model's "encrypt or decrypt" type, encrypt_or_decrypt_t, is
publicly exposed and needs to have a `psa_` prefix in order to properly
communicate that it is part of the PSA driver model.
The `pcd_` prefix is ambiguous and does not make it clear that the types
and symbols are standardized by PSA. Replace `pcd_` with a prefix that can
be shared with all PSA drivers, `psa_drv_`.
"Driver APIs" can be interpreted to mean APIs used when you want to write a
driver, not the set of functions you implement to make a driver. See
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/index.html "The kernel
offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development of device
drivers."
As such, we are renaming "Driver API" to "Driver Model" and updating our
work so far to reflect this change.
Add comments noting that the maximum length of a MAC must fit in
PSA_ALG_MAC_TRUNCATION_MASK. Add a unit test that verifies that the
maximum MAC size fits.
None of the currently defined MAC algorithms have a MAC size that
depends on the key size, so the key_bits parameter is unused. The
key_type parameter may be unused on an implementation where there is
no block cipher MAC. Declare the key_type and key_bits parameters as
used so that callers who define a variable just for this don't risk
getting "unused variable" warnings.
The macro was used under the name PSA_ALG_IS_BLOCK_CIPHER_MAC but
defined as PSA_ALG_IS_CIPHER_MAC. That wouldn't have worked if we used
this macro (we currently don't but it may become useful).
TLS now defines named curves in the "TLS Supported Groups registry",
but we're using the encoding only for elliptic curves, so don't
include values that aren't named curve.
While we're at it, upgrade the reference to the shiny new RFC 8422.
OFB and CFB are streaming modes. XTS is a not a cipher mode but it
doesn't use a separate padding step. This leaves only CBC as a block
cipher mode that needs a padding step.
Since CBC is the only mode that uses a separate padding step, and is
likely to remain the only mode in the future, encode the padding mode
directly in the algorithm constant, rather than building up an
algorithm value from a chaining mode and a padding mode. This greatly
simplifies the interface as well as some parts of the implementation.
There were only 5 categories (now 4). Reduce the category mask from 7
bits to 3.
Combine unformatted, not-necessarily-uniform keys (HMAC, derivation)
with raw data.
Reintroduce a KEY_TYPE_IS_UNSTRUCTURED macro (which used to exist
under the name KEY_TYPE_IS_RAW_DATA macro) for key types that don't
have any structure, including both should-be-uniform keys (such as
block cipher and stream cipher keys) and not-necessarily-uniform
keys (such as HMAC keys and secrets for key derivation).
These structs are using bitfields of length one, which can only represent 0 and -1 for signed ints.
Changing these to unsigned int lets them represent 0 and 1, which is what we want.
MBEDTLS_PK_WRITE_C only requires either MBEDTLS_RSA_C or MBEDTLS_ECP_C to be defined.
Added wrappers to handle the cases where only one has been defined.
Moved mbedtls_pk_init to be within the ifdefs, so it's only called if appropriate.
* Broken link #PSA_ALG_SHA_256
* Duplicate group name "generators"
* Missing documentation in psa_generate_key_extra_rsa due to bad magic

New key type PSA_KEY_TYPE_DERIVE. New usage flag PSA_KEY_USAGE_DERIVE.
New function psa_key_derivation.
No key derivation algorithm is implemented yet. The code may not
compile with -Wunused.
Write some unit test code for psa_key_derivation. Most of it cannot be
used yet due to the lack of a key derivation algorithm.
Add an API for byte generators: psa_crypto_generator_t,
PSA_CRYPTO_GENERATOR_INIT, psa_crypto_generator_init,
psa_get_generator_capacity, psa_generator_read,
psa_generator_import_key, psa_generator_abort.
This commit does not yet implement any generator algorithm, it only
provides the framework. This code may not compile with -Wunused.
This is the most common mode and the only mode that Mbed TLS functions
fully supports (mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_verify_ext can verify
signatures with a different salt length).
Explicitly state that calling abort is safe after initializing to
zero.
Explicitly state that calling abort on an inactive operation is safe,
and replace "active" by "initialized" in the description of the
parameter.
Get rid of the recommendation for implementers to try to handle
uninitialized structures safely. It's good advice in principle but
cannot be achieved in a robust way and the wording was confusing.
No common signature algorithm uses a salt (RSA-PKCS#1v1.5, RSA-PSS,
DSA, ECDSA, EdDSA). We don't even take an IV for MAC whereas MAC
algorithms with IV are uncommon but heard of. So remove the salt
parameter from psa_asymmetric_sign and psa_asymmetric_verify.
Make function names for multipart operations more consistent (cipher
edition).
Rename symmetric cipher multipart operation functions so that they all
start with psa_cipher_:
* psa_encrypt_setup -> psa_cipher_encrypt_setup
* psa_decrypt_setup -> psa_cipher_decrypt_setup
* psa_encrypt_set_iv -> psa_cipher_set_iv
* psa_encrypt_generate_iv -> psa_cipher_generate_iv
Make function names for multipart operations more consistent (MAC
setup edition).
Split psa_mac_setup into two functions psa_mac_sign_setup and
psa_mac_verify_setup. These functions behave identically except that
they require different usage flags on the key. The goal of the split
is to enforce the key policy during setup rather than at the end of
the operation (which was a bit of a hack).
In psa_mac_sign_finish and psa_mac_verify_finish, if the operation is
of the wrong type, abort the operation before returning BAD_STATE.
This requires defining a maximum RSA key size, since the RSA key size
is the signature size. Enforce the maximum RSA key size when importing
or generating a key.
Macros such as PSA_HASH_SIZE whose definitions can be the same
everywhere except in implementations that support non-standard
algorithms remain in crypto.h, at least for the time being.
This header will contain macros that calculate buffer sizes, whose
semantics are standardized but whose definitions are
implementation-specific because they depend on the available algorithms
and on some permitted buffer size tolerances.
Move size macros from crypto_struct.h to crypto_sizes.h, because these
definitions need to be available both in the frontend and in the
backend, whereas structures have different contents.
Change the representation of an ECDSA signature from the ASN.1 DER
encoding used in TLS and X.509, to the concatenation of r and s
in big-endian order with a fixed size. A fixed size helps memory and
buffer management and this representation is generally easier to use
for anything that doesn't require the ASN.1 representation. This is
the same representation as PKCS#11 (Cryptoki) except that PKCS#11
allows r and s to be truncated (both to the same length), which
complicates the implementation and negates the advantage of a
fixed-size representation.
* Distinguish randomized ECDSA from deterministic ECDSA.
* Deterministic ECDSA needs to be parametrized by a hash.
* Randomized ECDSA only uses the hash for the initial hash step,
but add ECDSA(hash) algorithms anyway so that all the signature
algorithms encode the initial hashing step.
* Add brief documentation for the ECDSA signature mechanisms.
* Also define DSA signature mechanisms while I'm at it. There were
already key types for DSA.
* PSS needs to be parametrized by a hash.
* Don't use `_MGF1` in the names of macros for OAEP and PSS. No one
ever uses anything else.
* Add brief documentation for the RSA signature mechanisms.
Doxygen interprets `\param` as starting documentation for a new param, or
to extend a previously started `\param` documentation when the same
reference is used. The intention here was to reference the function
parameter, not extend the previous documentation. Use `\p` to refer to
function parameters.
It isn't used to define other macros and it doesn't seem that useful
for users. Remove it, we can reintroduce it if needed.
Define a similar function key_type_is_raw_bytes in the implementation
with a clear semantics: it's a key that's represented as a struct
raw_data.
When calling psa_generate_key, pass the size of the parameters buffer
explicitly. This makes calls more verbose but less error-prone. This
also has the benefit that in an implementation with separation, the
frontend knows how many bytes to send to the backend without needing
to know about each key type.
Instead of rolling our own list of elliptic curve identifiers, use one
from somewhere. Pick TLS because it's the right size (16 bits) and
it's as good as any.
Conflicts:
library/psa_crypto.c
tests/suites/test_suite_psa_crypto.data
tests/suites/test_suite_psa_crypto.function
All the conflicts are concurrent additions where the order doesn't
matter. I put the code from feature-psa (key policy) before the code
from PR #13 (key lifetime).
psa_get_key_lifetime() behavior changed regarding empty slots, now
it return the lifetime of and empty slots. Documentation in header
file updated accordingly.
Conflict resolution:
* `tests/suites/test_suite_psa_crypto.data`: in the new tests from PR #14,
rename `PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_RAW` to `PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW` as
was done in PR #15 in the other branch.
When no algorithms are present in a category (e.g. no AEAD algorithm),
the union in the corresponding operation structure was empty, which is
not valid C. Add a dummy field to avoid this.
Document key import/export functions, hash functions, and asymmetric
sign/verify, as well as some related macros and types.
Nicer formatting for return values: use \retval.
New header file crypto_struct.h. The main file crypto.sh declares
structures which are implementation-defined. These structures must be
defined in crypto_struct.h, which is included at the end so that the
structures can use types defined in crypto.h.
Implement psa_hash_start, psa_hash_update and psa_hash_final. This
should work for all hash algorithms supported by Mbed TLS, but has
only been smoke-tested for SHA-256, and only in the nominal case.
Define psa_key_type_t and a first stab at a few values.
New functions psa_import_key, psa_export_key, psa_destroy_key,
psa_get_key_information. Implement them for raw data and RSA.
Under the hood, create an in-memory, fixed-size keystore with room
for MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT - 1 keys.
New module psa_crypto.c (MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C):
Platform Security Architecture compatibility layer on top of
libmedcrypto.
Implement psa_crypto_init function which sets up a RNG.
Add a mbedtls_psa_crypto_free function which deinitializes the
library.
Define a first batch of error codes.
