If we provide low order element as a public key and the implementation
maps the point in infinity to the origin, we can force the common secret
to be zero.
According to the standard (RFC 7748) this is allowed but in this case
the primitive must not be used in a protocol that requires contributory
behaviour.
Mbed Crypto returns an error when the result is the point in the
infinity and does not map it to the origin. This is safe even if used in
protocols that require contributory behaviour.
This commit adds test cases that verify that Mbed Crypto returns an
error when low order public keys are processed.
The low order elements in the test cases were taken from this website:
https://cr.yp.to/ecdh.html
The tests we had for ECP point multiplication were tailored for test
vectors symulating crypto operations and tested a series of operations
against public test vectors.
This commit adds a test function that exercises a single multiplication.
This is much better suited for negative testing than the preexisting
test.
Only one new test case is added that exercises a fraction of an existing
test, just to make sure that the test is consistent with the existing
test functions.
mbedtls_ecp_read_key() module returned without an error even when
importing keys corresponding to the requested group was not
implemented.
We change this and return an error when the requested group is not
supported and make the remaining import/export functions more robust.
Renamed the tests because they are explicitly testing Curve25519 and
nothing else. Improved test coverage, test documentation and extended
in-code documentation with a specific reference to the standard as well.
The library is able to perform computations and cryptographic schemes on
curves with x coordinate ladder representation. Here we add the
capability to export such points.
The private keys used in ECDH differ in the case of Weierstrass and
Montgomery curves. They have different constraints, the former is based
on big endian, the latter little endian byte order. The fundamental
approach is different too:
- Weierstrass keys have to be in the right interval, otherwise they are
rejected.
- Any byte array of the right size is a valid Montgomery key and it
needs to be masked before interpreting it as a number.
Historically it was sufficient to use mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() to read
private keys, but as a preparation to improve support for Montgomery
curves we add mbedtls_ecp_read_key() to enable uniform treatment of EC
keys.
For the masking the `mbedtls_mpi_set_bit()` function is used. This is
suboptimal but seems to provide the best trade-off at this time.
Alternatives considered:
- Making a copy of the input buffer (less efficient)
- removing the `const` constraint from the input buffer (breaks the api
and makes it less user friendly)
- applying the mask directly to the limbs (violates the api between the
modules and creates and unwanted dependency)
The library is able to perform computations and cryptographic schemes on
curves with x coordinate ladder representation. Here we add the
capability to import such points.

- code addition on one side near code change on the other side
(ciphersuite validation)
library/x509_crt.c -> various things

tried to insert a paragraph of the old structure...

This curve has special arithmetic on 64 bit platforms and an untested
path lead to trying to free a buffer on the stack.
For the sake of completeness, a test case for a point with non-affine
coordinates has been added as well.
Changes include:
- Integers marked with '#' in the .function files.
- Strings should have "" in .data files.
- String comparison instead of preprocessor-like replace for e.g. '=='
- Params and variables cannot have the same name in .function files
