The SSL module accesses ECDH context members directly to print debug
information. This can't work with the new context, where we can't make
assumptions about the implementation of the context. This commit adds
new debug functions to complete the encapsulation of the ECDH context
and work around the problem.
We want to support alternative software implementations and we extend
the ECDH context to enable this. The actual functional change that makes
use of the new context is out of scope for this commit.
Changing the context breaks the API and therefore it has to be
excluded from the default configuration by a compile time flag.
We add the compile time flag to the module header instead of
`config.h`, because this is not a standalone feature, it only
enables adding new implementations in the future.
The new context features a union of the individual implementations
and a selector that chooses the implementation in use. An alternative
is to use an opaque context and function pointers, like for example the
PK module does it, but it is more dangerous, error prone and tedious to
implement.
We leave the group ID and the point format at the top level of the
structure, because they are very simple and adding an abstraction
layer around them away does not come with any obvious benefit.
Other alternatives considered:
- Using the module level replacement mechanism in the ECP module. This
would have made the use of the replacement feature more difficult and
the benefit limited.
- Replacing our Montgomery implementations with a new one directly. This
would have prevented using Montgomery curves across implementations.
(For example use implementation A for Curve448 and implementation B for
Curve22519.) Also it would have been inflexible and limited to
Montgomery curves.
- Encoding the implementation selector and the alternative context in
`mbedtls_ecp_point` somehow and rewriting `mbedtls_ecp_mul()` to
dispatch between implementations. This would have been a dangerous and
ugly hack, and very likely to break legacy applications.
- Same as above just with hardcoding the selector and using a compile
time option to make the selection. Rejected for the same reasons as
above.
- Using the PK module to provide to provide an entry point for
alternative implementations. Like most of the above options this
wouldn't have come with a new compile time option, but conceptually
would have been very out of place and would have meant much more work to
complete the abstraction around the context.
In retrospect:
- We could have used the group ID as the selector, but this would have
made the code less flexible and only marginally simpler. On the other
hand it would have allowed to get rid of the compile time option if a
tight integration of the alternative is possible. (It does not seem
possible at this point.)
- We could have used the same approach we do in this commit to the
`mbedtls_ecp_point` structure. Completing the abstraction around this
structure would have been a much bigger and much riskier code change
with increase in memory footprint, potential decrease in performance
and no immediate benefit.
In the future we want to support alternative ECDH implementations. We
can't make assumptions about the structure of the context they might
use, and therefore shouldn't access the members of
`mbedtls_ecdh_context`.
Currently the lifecycle of the context can't be done without direct
manipulation. This commit adds `mbedtls_ecdh_setup()` to complete
covering the context lifecycle with functions.
`mbedtls_ecp_tls_read_group()` both parses the group ID and loads the
group into the structure provided. We want to support alternative
implementations of ECDH in the future and for that we need to parse the
group ID without populating an `mbedtls_ecp_group` structure (because
alternative implementations might not use that).
This commit moves the part that parses the group ID to a new function.
There is no need to test the new function directly, because the tests
for `mbedtls_ecp_tls_read_group()` are already implicitly testing it.
There is no intended change in behaviour in this commit.
Deprecate the module-specific XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED and
XXX_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE errors, as alternative implementations should now
return `MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_HW_FAILED` and
`MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED`.
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

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.

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.

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.

also clarified test naming.
This commit introduces a compile time constant MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_MAX_BUFFERING
to mbedtls/config.h which allows the user to control the cumulative size of
all heap buffer allocated for the purpose of reassembling and buffering
handshake messages.
It is put to use by introducing a new field `total_bytes_buffered` to
the buffering substructure of `mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params` that keeps
track of the total size of heap allocated buffers for the purpose of
reassembly and buffering at any time. It is increased whenever a handshake
message is buffered or prepared for reassembly, and decreased when a
buffered or fully reassembled message is copied into the input buffer
and passed to the handshake logic layer.
This commit does not yet include future epoch record buffering into
account; this will be done in a subsequent commit.
Also, it is now conceivable that the reassembly of the next expected
handshake message fails because too much buffering space has already
been used up for future messages. This case currently leads to an
error, but instead, the stack should get rid of buffered messages
to be able to buffer the next one. This will need to be implemented
in one of the next commits.
This setting belongs to the individual connection, not to a configuration
shared by many connections. (If a default value is desired, that can be handled
by the application code that calls mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().)
There are at least two ways in which this matters:
- per-connection settings can be adjusted if MTU estimates become available
during the lifetime of the connection
- it is at least conceivable that a server might recognize restricted clients
based on range of IPs and immediately set a lower MTU for them. This is much
easier to do with a per-connection setting than by maintaining multiple
near-duplicated ssl_config objects that differ only by the MTU setting.
This commit implements the buffering of a record from the next epoch.
- The buffering substructure of mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params
gets another field to hold a raw record (incl. header) from
a future epoch.
- If ssl_parse_record_header() sees a record from the next epoch,
it signals that it might be suitable for buffering by returning
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_EARLY_MESSAGE.
- If ssl_get_next_record() finds this error code, it passes control
to ssl_buffer_future_record() which may or may not decide to buffer
the record; it does so if
- a handshake is in progress,
- the record is a handshake record
- no record has already been buffered.
If these conditions are met, the record is backed up in the
aforementioned buffering substructure.
- If the current datagram is fully processed, ssl_load_buffered_record()
is called to check if a record has been buffered, and if yes,
if by now the its epoch is the current one; if yes, it copies
the record into the (empty! otherwise, ssl_load_buffered_record()
wouldn't have been called) input buffer.
This commit returns the error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_EARLY_MESSAGE
for proper handshake fragments, forwarding their treatment to
the buffering function ssl_buffer_message(); currently, though,
this function does not yet buffer or reassembly HS messages, so:
! This commit temporarily disables support for handshake reassembly !
This commit introduces, but does not yet put to use, a sub-structure
of mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::buffering that will be used for the
buffering and/or reassembly of handshake messages with handshake
sequence numbers that are greater or equal to the next expected
sequence number.
This commit introduces a sub-structure `buffering` within
mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params that shall contain all data
related to the reassembly and/or buffering of handshake
messages.
Currently, only buffering of CCS messages is implemented,
so the only member of this struct is the previously introduced
`seen_ccs` field.
This commit implements support for remembering out-of-order
CCS messages. Specifically, a flag is set whenever a CCS message
is read which remains until the end of a flight, and when a
CCS message is expected and a CCS message has been seen in the
current flight, a synthesized CCS record is created.
This function was previously global because it was
used directly within ssl_parse_certificate_verify()
in library/ssl_srv.c. The previous commit removed
this dependency, replacing the call by a call to
the global parent function mbedtls_ssl_read_record().
This renders mbedtls_ssl_read_record_layer() internal
and therefore allows to make it static, and accordingly
rename it as ssl_read_record_layer().
Previously, mbedtls_ssl_read_record() always updated the handshake
checksum in case a handshake record was received. While desirable
most of the time, for the CertificateVerify message the checksum
update must only happen after the message has been fully processed,
because the validation requires the handshake digest up to but
excluding the CertificateVerify itself. As a remedy, the bulk
of mbedtls_ssl_read_record() was previously duplicated within
ssl_parse_certificate_verify(), hardening maintenance in case
mbedtls_ssl_read_record() is subject to changes.
This commit adds a boolean parameter to mbedtls_ssl_read_record()
indicating whether the checksum should be updated in case of a
handshake message or not. This allows using it also for
ssl_parse_certificate_verify(), manually updating the checksum
after the message has been processed.
This commit adds a public function
`mbedtls_ssl_conf_datagram_packing()`
that allows to allow / forbid the packing of multiple
records within a single datagram.
This commit finally enables datagram packing by modifying the
record preparation function ssl_write_record() to not always
calling mbedtls_ssl_flush_output().
This commit is another step towards supporting the packing of
multiple records within a single datagram.
Previously, the incremental outgoing record sequence number was
statically stored within the record buffer, at its final place
within the record header. This slightly increased efficiency
as it was not necessary to copy the sequence number when writing
outgoing records.
When allowing multiple records within a single datagram, it is
necessary to allow the position of the current record within the
datagram buffer to be flexible; in particular, there is no static
address for the record sequence number field within the record header.
This commit introduces an additional field `cur_out_ctr` within
the main SSL context structure `mbedtls_ssl_context` to keep track
of the outgoing record sequence number independent of the buffer used
for the current record / datagram. Whenever a new record is written,
this sequence number is copied to the the address `out_ctr` of the
sequence number header field within the current outgoing record.
This will allow fragmentation to always happen in the same place, always from
a buffer distinct from ssl->out_msg, and with the same way of resuming after
returning WANT_WRITE
The standard HKDF security guarantees only hold if `mbedtls_hkdf()` is
used or if `mbedtls_hkdf_extract()` and `mbedtls_hkdf_expand()` are
called in succession carefully and an equivalent way.
Making `mbedtls_hkdf_extract()` and `mbedtls_hkdf_expand()` static would
prevent any misuse, but doing so would require the TLS 1.3 stack to
break abstraction and bypass the module API.
To reduce the risk of misuse we add warnings to the function
descriptions.

For the situation where the mbedTLS device has limited RAM, but the
other end of the connection doesn't support the max_fragment_length
extension. To be spec-compliant, mbedTLS has to keep a 16384 byte
incoming buffer. However the outgoing buffer can be made smaller without
breaking spec compliance, and we save some RAM.
See comments in include/mbedtls/config.h for some more details.
(The lower limit of outgoing buffer size is the buffer size used during
handshake/cert negotiation. As the handshake is half-duplex it might
even be possible to store this data in the "incoming" buffer during the
handshake, which would save even more RAM - but it would also be a lot
hackier and error-prone. I didn't really explore this possibility, but
thought I'd mention it here in case someone sees this later on a mission
to jam mbedTLS into an even tinier RAM footprint.)
The XTS configuration option MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_XTS currently only enables
XTS for AES. So, don't say it enables XTS for "symmetric ciphers", just
AES. This helps to avoid being misleading.
mbedtls_aes_crypt_xts() currently takes a `bits_length` parameter, unlike
the other block modes. Change the parameter to accept a bytes length
instead, as the `bits_length` parameter is not actually ever used in the
current implementation.
Add a new context structure for XTS. Adjust the API for XTS to use the new
context structure, including tests suites and the benchmark program. Update
Doxgen documentation accordingly.
AES-XEX is a building block for other cryptographic standards and not yet a
standard in and of itself. We'll just provide the standardized AES-XTS
algorithm, and not AES-XEX. The AES-XTS algorithm and interface provided
can be used to perform the AES-XEX algorithm when the length of the input
is a multiple of the AES block size.
XTS mode is fully known as "xor-encrypt-xor with ciphertext-stealing".
This is the generalization of the XEX mode.
This implementation is limited to an 8-bits (1 byte) boundary, which
doesn't seem to be what was thought considering some test vectors [1].
This commit comes with tests, extracted from [1], and benchmarks.
Although, benchmarks aren't really nice here, as they work with a buffer
of a multiple of 16 bytes, which isn't a challenge for XTS compared to
XEX.
[1] http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/documents/aes/XTSTestVectors.zip
XEX mode, known as "xor-encrypt-xor", is the simple case of the XTS
mode, known as "XEX with ciphertext stealing". When the buffers to be
encrypted/decrypted have a length divisible by the length of a standard
AES block (16), XTS is exactly like XEX.
It's undesirable to have users of the SSL layer check for an error code
specific to a lower-level layer, both out of general layering principles, and
also because if we later make another crypto module gain resume capabilities,
we would need to change the contract again (checking for a new module-specific
error code).
When MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_MEMORY is defined but MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO or
MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO are not defined then the actual functions
used to allocate and free memory are stored in function pointers.
These pointers are exposed to the caller, and it means that the caller
and the library have to share a data section.
In TF-A, we execute in a very constrained environment, where some images
are executed from ROM and other images are executed from SRAM. The
images that are executed from ROM cannot be modified. The SRAM size
is very small and we are moving libraries to the ROM that can be shared
between the different SRAM images. These SRAM images could import all the
symbols used in mbedtls, but it would create an undesirable hard binary
dependency between the different images. For this reason, all the library
functions in ROM are accesed using a jump table whose base address is
known, allowing the images to execute with different versions of the ROM.
This commit changes the function pointers to actual functions,
so that the SRAM images only have to use the new exported symbols
(mbedtls_calloc and mbedtls_free) using the jump table. In
our scenario, mbedtls_platform_set_calloc_free is called from
mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init which initializes the function pointers
to the internal buffer_alloc_calloc and buffer_alloc_free functions.
No functional changes to mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init.

library/ecp.c:
- code of an extracted function was changed
library/ssl_cli.c:
- code addition on one side near code change on the other side
(ciphersuite validation)
library/x509_crt.c -> various things
- top fo file: helper structure added near old zeroize removed
- documentation of find_parent_in()'s signature: improved on one side,
added arguments on the other side
- documentation of find_parent()'s signature: same as above
- verify_chain(): variables initialised later to give compiler an
opportunity to warn us if not initialised on a code path
- find_parent(): funcion structure completely changed, for some reason git
tried to insert a paragraph of the old structure...
- merge_flags_with_cb(): data structure changed, one line was fixed with a
cast to keep MSVC happy, this cast is already in the new version
- in verify_restratable(): adjacent independent changes (function
signature on one line, variable type on the next)

Motivation is similar to NO_UDBL_DIVISION.
The alternative implementation of 64-bit mult is straightforward and aims at
obvious correctness. Also, visual examination of the generate assembly show
that it's quite efficient with clang, armcc5 and arm-clang. However current
GCC generates fairly inefficient code for it.
I tried to rework the code in order to make GCC generate more efficient code.
Unfortunately the only way to do that is to get rid of 64-bit add and handle
the carry manually, but this causes other compilers to generate less efficient
code with branches, which is not acceptable from a side-channel point of view.
So let's keep the obvious code that works for most compilers and hope future
versions of GCC learn to manage registers in a sensible way in that context.
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+bug/1775263
Clarify the roles of the buffer parameter and their sizes.
Remove a statement about input size restrictions that only applies to
mbedtls_gcm_update, not to the whole-message functions.
Document the possible error codes.
Warn that mbedtls_gcm_crypt_and_tag in decrypt mode does not
authenticate the data and recommend using mbedtls_gcm_auth_decrypt
instead.
Allowing DECRYPT with crypt_and_tag is a risk as people might fail to check
the tag correctly (or at all). So force them to use auth_decrypt() instead.

Fix IAR compiler warnings
Two warnings have been fixed:
1. code 'if( len <= 0xFFFFFFFF )' gave warning 'pointless integer comparison'.
This was fixed by wraping the condition in '#if SIZE_MAX > 0xFFFFFFFF'.
2. code 'diff |= A[i] ^ B[i];' gave warning 'the order of volatile accesses is undefined in'.
This was fixed by read the volatile data in temporary variables before the computation.
Explain IAR warning on volatile access
Consistent use of CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID
- need HW failure codes too
- re-use relevant poly codes for chachapoly to save on limited space
Values were chosen to leave 3 free slots at the end of the NET odd range.
That's what it is. So we shouldn't set a block size != 1.
While at it, move call to chachapoly_update() closer to the one for GCM, as
they are similar (AEAD).
This module used (len, pointer) while (pointer, len) is more common in the
rest of the library, in particular it's what's used in the GCM API that
very comparable to it, so switch to (pointer, len) for consistency.
Note that the crypt_and_tag() and auth_decrypt() functions were already using
the same convention as GCM, so this also increases intra-module consistency.
This module used (len, pointer) while (pointer, len) is more common in the
rest of the library, in particular it's what's used in the CMAC API that is
very comparable to Poly1305, so switch to (pointer, len) for consistency.
