Context:
The macro `MBEDTLS_ECP_BUDGET()` is called before performing a
number of potentially time-consuming ECC operations. If restartable
ECC is enabled, it wraps a call to `mbedtls_ecp_check_budget()`
which in turn checks if the requested number of operations can be
performed without exceeding the maximum number of consecutive ECC
operations.
Issue:
The function `mbedtls_ecp_check_budget()` expects a the number
of requested operations to be given as a value of type `unsigned`,
while some calls of the wrapper macro `MBEDTLS_ECP_BUDGET()` use
expressions of type `size_t`.
This rightfully leads to warnings about implicit truncation
from `size_t` to `unsigned` on some compilers.
Fix:
This commit makes the truncation explicit by adding an explicit cast
to `unsigned` in the expansion of the `MBEDTLS_ECP_BUDGET()` macro.
Justification:
Functionally, the new version is equivalent to the previous code.
The warning about truncation can be discarded because, as can be
inferred from `ecp.h`, the number of requested operations is never
larger than 1000.
Previously, mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() was unconditionally declared
in `pkcs5.h` but defined as a stub returning
`MBEDTLS_ERR_PKCS5_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE` in case
MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C was not defined.
In line with the previous commits, this commit removes declaration
and definition from both `pkcs5.h` and `pkcs5.c` in case
MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not defined.
Rename the PLATFORM HW error, to avoid ABI breakage with Mbed OS.
The value changed as well, as previous value was not in the range of
Mbed TLS low level error codes.
The previous comment in ecp.h that only functions that take a "restart
context" argument can restart was wrong due to ECDH and SSL functions.
Changing that criterion to "document says if can return IN PROGRESS".
This requires updating the documentation of the SSL functions to mention this
explicitly, but it's something we really ought to do anyway, a bit
embarrassing that this wasn't done already - callers need to know what
`MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_xxx` error codes to special-case. Note that the documentation
of the relevant functions was in a suboptimal state, so it was improved in the
process - it could use some more improvement, but only the changes that helped
cleanly insert the info about the IN_PROGRESS part were done here.
Also, while updating the ecp.h comment, I noticed several functions in the
ECDH module were wrongfully documented as restartable, which is probably a
left-over from the days before `mbedtls_ecdh_enable_restart()` was introduced.
Fixing that as well, to make the criterion used in ecp.h correct.
When using a primality testing function the tolerable error rate depends
on the scheme in question, the required security strength and wether it
is used for key generation or parameter validation. To support all use
cases we need more flexibility than what the old API provides.
The FIPS 186-4 RSA key generation prescribes lower failure probability
in primality testing and this makes key generation slower. We enable the
caller to decide between compliance/security and performance.
This python script calculates the base two logarithm of the formulas in
HAC Fact 4.48 and was used to determine the breakpoints and number of
rounds:
def mrpkt_log_2(k, t):
if t <= k/9.0:
return 3*math.log(k,2)/2+t-math.log(t,2)/2+4-2*math.sqrt(t*k)
elif t <= k/4.0:
c1 = math.log(7.0*k/20,2)-5*t
c2 = math.log(1/7.0,2)+15*math.log(k,2)/4.0-k/2.0-2*t
c3 = math.log(12*k,2)-k/4.0-3*t
return max(c1, c2, c3)
else:
return math.log(1/7.0)+15*math.log(k,2)/4.0-k/2.0-2*t
The Cortex M4, M7 MCUs and the Cortex A CPUs support the ARM DSP
instructions, and especially the umaal instruction which greatly
speed up MULADDC code. In addition the patch switched the ASM
constraints to registers instead of memory, giving the opportunity
for the compiler to load them the best way.
The speed improvement is variable depending on the crypto operation
and the CPU. Here are the results on a Cortex M4, a Cortex M7 and a
Cortex A8. All tests have been done with GCC 6.3 using -O2. RSA uses a
RSA-4096 key. ECDSA uses a secp256r1 curve EC key pair.
+--------+--------+--------+
| M4 | M7 | A8 |
+----------------+--------+--------+--------+
| ECDSA signing | +6.3% | +7.9% | +4.1% |
+----------------+--------+--------+--------+
| RSA signing | +43.7% | +68.3% | +26.3% |
+----------------+--------+--------+--------+
| RSA encryption | +3.4% | +9.7% | +3.6% |
+----------------+--------+--------+--------+
| RSA decryption | +43.0% | +67.8% | +22.8% |
+----------------+--------+--------+--------+
I ran the whole testsuite on the Cortex A8 Linux environment, and it
all passes.
Remove the trailing whitespace from the inline assembly for AMD64 target, to
overcome a warning in Clang, which was objecting to the string literal
generated by the inline assembly being greater than 4096 characters specified
by the ISO C99 standard. (-Woverlength-strings)
This is a cosmetic change and doesn't change the logic of the code in any way.
This change only fixes the problem for AMD64 target, and leaves other targets as
they are.
Fixes#482.
It should be valid to RSASSA-PSS sign a SHA-512 hash with a 1024-bit or
1032-bit RSA key, but with the salt size being always equal to the hash
size, this isn't possible: the key is too small.
To enable use of hashes that are relatively large compared to the key
size, allow reducing the salt size to no less than the hash size minus 2
bytes. We don't allow salt sizes smaller than the hash size minus 2
bytes because that too significantly changes the security guarantees the
library provides compared to the previous implementation which always
used a salt size equal to the hash size. The new calculated salt size
remains compliant with FIPS 186-4.
We also need to update the "hash too large" test, since we now reduce
the salt size when certain key sizes are used. We used to not support
1024-bit keys with SHA-512, but now we support this by reducing the salt
size to 62. Update the "hash too large" test to use a 1016-bit RSA key
with SHA-512, which still has too large of a hash because we will not
reduce the salt size further than 2 bytes shorter than the hash size.
The RSA private key used for the test was generated using "openssl
genrsa 1016" using OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre8.

Yotta is no longer supported by Mbed TLS, so has been removed. Specifically, the
following changes have been made:
* references to yotta have been removed from the main readme and build
instructions
* the yotta module directory and build script has been removed
* yotta has been removed from test scripts such as all.sh and check-names.sh
* yotta has been removed from other files that that referenced it such as the
doxyfile and the bn_mul.h header
* yotta specific configurations and references have been removed from config.h

Previous commits attempted to use `gmtime_s()` for IAR systems; however,
this attempt depends on the use of C11 extensions which lead to incompatibility
with other pieces of the library, such as the use of `memset()` which is
being deprecated in favor of `memset_s()` in C11.
a compile time print was added warning in case of 128bit ctr_drbg keys.
This was don't to avoid an actual warning in these cases
(making build with warnings as errors possible).
Additional warnings on the Changelog/headers were set to use the same phrasing
phrasing was approved by Gilles and Janos.
the change is designed to make configuring 128bit keys for ctr_drbg more similar to other configuration options. Tests have been updated accordingly.
