Some of the documentation is obsolete in its reference to key slots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.
Since Mbed TLS 2.10, there is a single copy of
mbedtls_platform_zeroize for the whole library instead of one per
module. Update the PSA crypto module accordingly.
This commit finishes the removal of support for direct access to key
slots in psa_crypto.c.
This marks the end of the necessary phase of the transition to key
handles. The code should subsequently be refactored to move key slot
management from psa_crypto.c to psa_crypto_slot_management.c.
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.
Switch from the direct use of slot numbers to handles allocated by
psa_allocate_key.
The general principle for each function is:
* Change `psa_key_slot_t slot` to `psa_key_handle_t handle` or
`psa_key_id_t key_id` depending on whether it's used as a handle to
an open slot or as a persistent name for a key.
* Call psa_create_key() before using a slot, instead of calling
psa_set_key_lifetime to make a slot persistent.
Remove the unit test persistent_key_is_configurable which is no longer
relevant.
The code only worked if psa_key_id_t (formerly psa_key_slot_t)
promoted to int and every value fit in int. Now the code only assumes
that psa_key_id_t is less wide than unsigned long, which is the case
since psa_key_id_t is a 32-bit type in our implementation.
Move the persistent storage implementation from psa_key_slot_t to
psa_key_id_t. For the most part, this just means changing the types of
function arguments.
Update the documentation of some functions to reflect the fact that
the slot identifier is purely a storage identifier and is not related
to how the slot is designated in memory.
Switch from the direct use of slot numbers to handles allocated by
psa_allocate_key.
This commit does not affect persistent key tests except for the one
test function in test_suite_psa_crypto that uses persistent keys
(persistent_key_load_key_from_storage).
The general principle for each function is:
* Change `psa_key_slot_t slot` to `psa_key_handle_t handle`.
* Call psa_allocate_key() before setting the policy of the slot,
or before creating key material in functions that don't set a policy.
* Some PSA_ERROR_EMPTY_SLOT errors become PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
because there is now a distinction between not having a valid
handle, and having a valid handle to a slot that doesn't contain key
material.
* In tests that use symmetric keys, calculate the max_bits parameters
of psa_allocate_key() from the key data size. In tests where the key
may be asymmetric, call an auxiliary macro KEY_BITS_FROM_DATA which
returns an overapproximation. There's no good way to find a good
value for max_bits with the API, I think the API should be tweaked.
Many places in the code called psa_remove_key_data_from_memory (which
preserves metadata for the sake of failues in psa_import_key) followed
by clearing the slot data. Use an auxiliary function for this.
Access the slot directly rather than going through psa_get_key_slot.
Unlike other places where key slots are accessed through
psa_get_key_slot, here, we know where all the slots are and there are
no policy or permission considerations.
This resolves a memory leak: allocated slots were not getting freed
because psa_get_key_slot rejected the attempt of accessing them
directly rather than via a handle.
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.
At the moment, the in-storage slot identifier is the in-memory slot
number. But track them separately, to prepare for API changes that
will let them be different (psa_open_key, psa_create_key).
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.
Previously, one could change the definition of AES_VALIDATE_RET() to return
some other code than MBEDTLS_ERR_AES_BAD_INPUT_DATA, and the test suite
wouldn't notice. Now this modification would make the suite fail as expected.
It's better if the macro receives the condition as an expression rather than a
string - that way it can choose to use it as is or stringify it. Also, the
documentation states that the parameter is an expression, not a string.
The test framework for validation of parameters depends on the macro
MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED() being set to its default value when building the
library. So far the test framework attempted to define this macro but this was
the wrong place - this definition wouldn't be picked by the library.
Instead, a different approach is taken: skip those tests when the macro is
defined in config.h, as in that case we have no way to know if it will indeed
end up calling mbedtls_param_failed() as we need it to.
This commit was tested by manually ensuring that aes_invalid_params:
- passes (and is not skipped) in the default configuration
- is skipped when MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED() is defined in config.h
The previous prototype gave warnings are the strings produced by #cond and
__FILE__ are const, so we shouldn't implicitly cast them to non-const.
While at it modifying most example programs:
- include the header that has the function declaration, so that the definition
can be checked to match by the compiler
- fix whitespace
- make it work even if PLATFORM_C is not defined:
- CHECK_PARAMS is not documented as depending on PLATFORM_C and there is
no reason why it should
- so, remove the corresponding #if defined in each program...
- and add missing #defines for mbedtls_exit when needed
The result has been tested (make all test with -Werror) with the following
configurations:
- full with CHECK_PARAMS with PLATFORM_C
- full with CHECK_PARAMS without PLATFORM_C
- full without CHECK_PARAMS without PLATFORM_C
- full without CHECK_PARAMS with PLATFORM_C
Additionally, it has been manually tested that adding
mbedtls_aes_init( NULL );
near the normal call to mbedtls_aes_init() in programs/aes/aescrypt2.c has the
expected effect when running the program.
