MD2, MD4, MD5, DES and SHA-1 are considered weak and their use
constitutes a security risk. If possible, we recommend avoiding
dependencies on them, and considering stronger message digests and
ciphers instead.
Add MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED error codes for all cryptography
modules where the software implementation can be replaced by a hardware
implementation.
This does not include the individual message digest modules since they
currently have no way to return error codes.
This does include the higher-level md, cipher and pk modules since
alternative implementations and even algorithms can be plugged in at
runtime.
This commit allows users to provide alternative implementations of the
ECJPAKE interface through the configuration option MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_ALT.
When set, the user must add `ecjpake_alt.h` declaring the same
interface as `ecjpake.h`, as well as add some compilation unit which
implements the functionality. This is in line with the preexisting
support for alternative implementations of other modules.
The _ext suffix suggests "new arguments", but the new functions have
the same arguments. Use _ret instead, to convey that the difference is
that the new functions return a value.

mbedtls_timing_get_timer with reset=1 is called both to initialize a
timer object and to reset an already-initialized object. In an
initial call, the content of the data structure is indeterminate, so
the code should not read from it. This could crash if signed overflows
trap, for example.
As a consequence, on reset, we can't return the previously elapsed
time as was previously done on Windows. Return 0 as was done on Unix.

The previous commit reduced the internal header size to 5 bytes in case of
TLS. This is not a valid since in that situation Mbed TLS internally uses the
first 8 bytes of the message buffer for the implicit record sequence number.
In case truncated HMAC must be used but the Mbed TLS peer hasn't been updated
yet, one can use the compile-time option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT to
temporarily fall back to the old, non-compliant implementation of the truncated
HMAC extension.
This commit splits off the RSA helper functions into separate headers and
compilation units to have a clearer separation of the public RSA interface,
intended to be used by end-users, and the helper functions which are publicly
provided only for the benefit of designers of alternative RSA implementations.
1) move the change into Features from Changes, in the changLog
2) Change the feature alternative configuration MBEDTLS_ECDH_ALT
definition to function alternative defintions
MBEDTLS_ECDH_COMPUTE_SHARED_ALT and MBEDTLS_ECDH_GEN_PUBLIC_ALT
1) update ChangLog to have new feature in Features instead of Changes
2) Change MBEDTLS_ECDSA_ALT to function specific alternative definitions:
MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT, MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_GENKEY_ALT
It is not necessary to pass a CSPRNG to `mbedtls_rsa_deduce_moduli`, as there
exist well-working static strategies, and even if a PRNG is preferred, a
non-secure one would be sufficient.
Further, the implementation is changed to use a static strategy for the choice
of candidates which according to some benchmarks even performs better than the
previous one using random candidate choices.
Further, state explicitly that wrong key types need not be supported by alternative RSA implementations, and that those
may instead return the newly introduced error code MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION.
This commit returns to using constant macros instead of global variables for the DHM group constants. Further, macros
providing the binary encoding of the primes from RFC 3526 and RFC 7919 are added. The hex-string macros are deprecated.
Original intention was to be allowed to perform in-place operations like changing the byte-order before importing
parameters into an HSM. Now a copy is needed in this case, but there's no more danger of a user expecting the arguments
to be left untouched.
Document explicitly that `mbedtls_rsa_check_privkey` and `mbedtls_rsa_complete` succeeding does not guarantee the
consistency of the underlying RSA private key but only that enough information is present to perform a private key
operation.
This commit adds the function mbedtls_rsa_validate_crt for validating a set of CRT parameters. The function
mbedtls_rsa_check_crt is simplified accordingly.
Alternative RSA implementations can be provided by defining MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT in
config.h, defining an mbedtls_rsa_context struct in a new file rsa_alt.h and
re-implementing the RSA interface specified in rsa.h.
Through the previous reworkings, the adherence to the interface is the only
implementation obligation - in particular, implementors are free to use a
different layout for the RSA context structure.
This commit extends the RSA interface by import/export calls that can be used to
setup an RSA context from a subset of the core RSA parameters (N,P,Q,D,E).
The intended workflow is the following:
1. Call mbedtls_rsa_import one or multiple times to import the core parameters.
2. Call mbedtls_rsa_complete to deduce remaining core parameters as well as any
implementation-defined internal helper variables.
The RSA context is ready for use after this call.
The import function comes in two variants mbedtls_rsa_import and
mbedtls_rsa_import_raw, the former taking pointers to MPI's as input, the latter
pointers buffers holding to big-endian encoded MPI's.
The reason for this splitting is the following: When only providing an import
function accepting const MPI's, a user trying to import raw binary data into an
RSA context has to convert these to MPI's first which before passing them to the
import function, introducing an unnecessary copy of the data in memory. The
alternative would be to have another MPI-based import-function with
move-semantics, but this would be in contrast to the rest of the library's
interfaces.
Similarly, there are functions mbedtls_rsa_export and mbedtls_rsa_export_raw for
exporting the core RSA parameters, either as MPI's or in big-endian binary
format.
The main import/export functions deliberately do not include the additional
helper values DP, DQ and QP present in ASN.1-encoded RSA private keys. To
nonetheless be able to check whether given parameters DP, DQ and QP are in
accordance with a given RSA private key, the interface is extended by a function
mbedtls_rsa_check_opt (in line with mbedtls_rsa_check_privkey,
mbedtls_rsa_check_pubkey and mbedtls_rsa_check_pub_priv). Exporting the optional
parameters is taken care of by mbedtls_export_opt (currently MPI format only).
This commit adds convenience functions to the RSA module for computing a
complete RSA private key (with fields N, P, Q, D, E, DP, DQ, QP) from a subset
of core parameters, e.g. (N, D, E).
As noted in #557, several functions use 'index' resp. 'time'
as parameter names in their declaration and/or definition, causing name
conflicts with the functions in the C standard library of the same
name some compilers warn about.
This commit renames the arguments accordingly.
Allow forcing 64-bit integer type for bignum operations. Also introduce
the macro MBEDTLS_TYPE_UDBL to allow configuration of the double length
integer in unknown compilers.
Rename the macro MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETUP_ALT to

as this macro enables/disables both functions.
Add the following two functions to allow platform setup and teardown
operations for the full library to be hooked in:
* mbedtls_platform_setup()

An mbedtls_platform_context C structure is also added and two internal
functions that are called by the corresponding setup and teardown
functions above:
* mbedtls_internal_platform_setup()
* mbedtls_internal_plartform_teardown()
Finally, the macro MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETUP_ALT is also added to allow
mbedtls_platform_context and internal function to be overriden by the
user as needed for a platform.
The functions mbedtls_aes_decrypt and mbedtls_aes_encrypt have been
superseded by mbedtls_aes_internal_decrypt and
mbedtls_aes_internal_encrypt, respectively. Alternative
implementations should now only replace the latter, and leave the
maintenance wrapper definitions of the former untouched.
This commit clarifies this in the documentation of the respective
configuration options MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT and
MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT.
Protecting the ECP hardware acceleratior with mutexes is inconsistent with the

The previous version of `mbedtls_ssl_safer_memcmp` did not qualify the
pointers to the arrays to be compared as volatile, theoretically
opening the possibility for the compiler to notice that the loop
operation `diff |= A[i] ^ B[i]` is pointless if `diff = -1`. This
commit changes this. It also declares the stack variable `diff` as
volatile, to force read and write in every loop; omitting that, the
compiler would still be allowed to get away with reading `A[i]` and
`B[i]` but not doing the XOR and not updating `diff`.

Simplify retaining of messages for future processing
There are situations in which it is not clear what message to expect
next. For example, the message following the ServerHello might be
either a Certificate, a ServerKeyExchange or a CertificateRequest. We
deal with this situation in the following way: Initially, the message
processing function for one of the allowed message types is called,
which fetches and decodes a new message. If that message is not the
expected one, the function returns successfully (instead of throwing
an error as usual for unexpected messages), and the handshake
continues to the processing function for the next possible message. To
not have this function fetch a new message, a flag in the SSL context
structure is used to indicate that the last message was retained for
further processing, and if that's set, the following processing
function will not fetch a new record.
This commit simplifies the usage of this message-retaining parameter
by doing the check within the record-fetching routine instead of the
specific message-processing routines. The code gets cleaner this way
and allows retaining messages to be used in other situations as well
without much effort. This will be used in the next commits.
By default, keep allowing SHA-1 in key exchange signatures. Disabling
it causes compatibility issues, especially with clients that use
TLS1.2 but don't send the signature_algorithms extension.
SHA-1 is forbidden in certificates by default, since it's vulnerable
to offline collision-based attacks.
There is now one test case to validate that SHA-1 is rejected in
certificates by default, and one test case to validate that SHA-1 is
supported if MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1 is #defined.
Default to forbidding the use of SHA-1 in TLS where it is unsafe: for
certificate signing, and as the signature hash algorithm for the TLS
1.2 handshake signature. SHA-1 remains allowed in HMAC-SHA-1 in the
XXX_SHA ciphersuites and in the PRF for TLS <= 1.1.
For easy backward compatibility for use in controlled environments,
turn on the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1 compiled-time option.
* hanno/sig_hash_compatibility:
Improve documentation
Split long lines
Remember suitable hash function for any signature algorithm.
Introduce macros and functions to characterize certain ciphersuites.
Note that the configuration structure must remain accessible. The
previous wording could have been taken as implying that it's ok to

Also note that calling this function twice is not supported (it would
at least be a memory leak).
This patch modifies the following 2 functions in the AES module to
change the return type from void to int:
* mbedtls_aes_encrypt() -> mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt()
* mbedtls_aes_decrypt() -> mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt()
This change is necessary to allow users of MBEDTLS_AES_ALT,
MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT and MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT to return an error
code when replacing the default with their own implementation, e.g.
a hardware crypto accelerator.
According to RFC5246 the server can indicate the known Certificate
Authorities or can constrain the aurhorisation space by sending a
certificate list. This part of the message is optional and if omitted,
the client may send any certificate in the response.
The previous behaviour of mbed TLS was to always send the name of all the
CAs that are configured as root CAs. In certain cases this might cause
usability and privacy issues for example:
- If the list of the CA names is longer than the peers input buffer then
the handshake will fail
- If the configured CAs belong to third parties, this message gives away
information on the relations to these third parties
Therefore we introduce an option to suppress the CA list in the
Certificate Request message.
Providing this feature as a runtime option comes with a little cost in
code size and advantages in maintenance and flexibility.
This commit changes `ssl_parse_signature_algorithms_ext` to remember
one suitable ( := supported by client and by our config ) hash
algorithm per signature algorithm.
It also modifies the ciphersuite checking function
`ssl_ciphersuite_match` to refuse a suite if there
is no suitable hash algorithm.
Finally, it adds the corresponding entry to the ChangeLog.
The routine `mbedtls_ssl_write_server_key_exchange` heavily depends on
what kind of cipher suite is active: some don't need a
ServerKeyExchange at all, some need (EC)DH parameters but no server
signature, some require both. Each time we want to restrict a certain
piece of code to some class of ciphersuites, it is guarded by a
lengthy concatentation of configuration checks determining whether at
least one of the relevant cipher suites is enabled in the config; on
the code level, it is guarded by the check whether one of these
cipher suites is the active one.
To ease readability of the code, this commit introduces several helper
macros and helper functions that can be used to determine whether a
certain class of ciphersuites (a) is active in the config, and
(b) contains the currently present ciphersuite.
With this commit the Elliptic Curve Point interface is rewised. Two
compile time options has been removed to simplify the interface and
the function names got a new prefix that indicates that these functions
are for internal use and not part of the public interface.
The primary use case behind providing an abstraction layer to enable
alternative Elliptic Curve Point arithmetic implementation, is making
use of cryptographic acceleration hardware if it is present.
To provide thread safety for the hardware accelerator we need a mutex
to guard it.
The compile time macros enabling the initialisation and deinitialisation
in the alternative Elliptic Curve Point arithmetic implementation had
names that did not end with '_ALT' as required by check-names.sh.
When provided with an empty line, mpi_read_file causes a numeric
underflow resulting in a stack underflow. This commit fixes this and
adds some documentation to mpi_read_file.
The modular inversion function hangs when provided with the modulus 1. This commit refuses this modulus with a BAD_INPUT error code. It also adds a test for this case.
In the ecdsa.c sample application we don't use hashing, we use ecdsa
directly on a buffer containing plain text. Although the text explains
that it should be the message hash it still can be confusing.
Any misunderstandings here are potentially very dangerous, because ECDSA
truncates the message hash if necessary and this can lead to trivial
signature forgeries if the API is misused and the message is passed
directly to the function without hashing.
This commit adds a hash computation step to the ecdsa.c sample
application and clarification to the doxygen documentation of the
ECDSA functions involved.
