The previous code writes the content (the EC curve list) of the extension
before writing the extension length field at the beginning, which is common
in the library in places where we don't know the length upfront. Here,
however, we do traverse the EC curve list upfront to infer its length
and do the bounds check, so we can reorder the code to write the extension
linearly and hence improve readability.
This commit introduces the option MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC
which can be used to register a single supported elliptic curve
at compile time. It replaces the runtime configuration API
mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves() which allows to register a _list_
of supported elliptic curves.
In contrast to other options used to hardcode configuration options,
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC isn't a numeric option, but instead it's
only relevant if it's defined or not. To actually set the single
elliptic curve that should be supported, numeric options
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC_TLS_ID
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC_GRP_ID
must both be defined and provide the TLS ID and the Mbed TLS internal
ID and the chosen curve, respectively.
For both client/server the EC curve list is assumed not to be NULL:
- On the client-side, it's assumed when writing the
supported elliptic curve extension:
c54ee936d7/library/ssl_cli.c (L316)
- On the server, it is assumed when searching for a
suitable curve for the ECDHE exchange:
c54ee936d7/library/ssl_srv.c (L3200)
It is therefore not necessary to check this in mbedtls_ssl_check_curve().
ssl_write_supported_elliptic_curves_ext() is guarded by
```
#if defined(MBEDTLS_ECDH_C) || defined(MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C) || \
defined(MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE_ENABLED)
```
each of which implies (by check_config.h) that MBEDTLS_ECP_C
is enabled.
The fields
- mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::max_major_ver,
- mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::max_minor_ver
are used only for server-side RSA-based key exchanges
can be removed otherwise.
Reasons:
- If the transport type is fixed at compile-time,
mbedtls_ssl_read_version() and mbedtls_ssl_write_version()
are called with a compile-time determined `transport`
parameter, so the transport-type branch in their body
can be eliminated at compile-time.
- mbedtls_ssl_read_version() is called with addresses of
local variables, which so far need to be put on the stack
to be addressable. Inlining the call allows to read directly
into the registers holding these local variables.
This saves 60 bytes w.r.t. the measurement performed by
> ./scripts/baremetal.sh --rom --gcc
If the minor/major version is enforced at compile-time, the `major_ver`
and `minor_ver` fields in `mbedtls_ssl_context` are redundant and can
be removed.
This commit introduces the numeric compile-time constants
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MIN_MINOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MAX_MINOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MIN_MAJOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MAX_MAJOR_VER
which, when defined, overwrite the runtime configurable fields
mbedtls_ssl_config::min_major_ver etc. in the SSL configuration.
As for the preceding case of the ExtendedMasterSecret configuration,
it also introduces and puts to use getter functions for these variables
which evaluate to either a field access or the macro value, maintaining
readability of the code.
The runtime configuration API mbedtls_ssl_conf_{min|max}_version()
is kept for now but has no effect if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_XXX are set.
This is likely to be changed in a later commit but deliberately omitted
for now, in order to be able to study code-size benefits earlier in the
process.
This commit restructures ssl_ciphersuites.h and ssl_ciphersuites.c to
define all ciphersuite helper functions static inline in ssl_ciphersuites.h
if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is set, and to otherwise put their
definitions in ssl_ciphersuites.c.
If MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled, the type
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t
is logically a boolean (concretely realized as `unsigned char`),
containing the invalid handle and the unique valid handle, which
represents the single enabled ciphersuite.
The SSL session structure mbedtls_ssl_session contains an instance
of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t which is guaranteed to be valid,
and which is hence redundant in any two-valued implementation of
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t.
This commit replaces read-uses of
mbedtls_ssl_session::ciphersuite_info
by a getter functions which, and defines this getter function
either by just reading the field from the session structure
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is disabled), or by
returning the single valid ciphersuite handle (in case
MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled) and removing the
field from mbedtls_ssl_session in this case.
If MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled, it overwrites
the runtime configuration of supported ciphersuites, which
includes both the configuration API and the fields which are
used to store the configuration. Both are therefore no longer
needed and should be removed for the benefit of code-size,
memory usage, and API clarity (no accidental hiccup of runtime
vs. compile-time configuration possible).
The configuration API mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites() has
already been removed in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE,
and this commit removes the field
mbedtls_ssl_config::ciphersuite_list
which it updates.
If MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled, the type
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t
is logically a boolean (concretely realized as `unsigned char`),
containing the invalid handle and the unique valid handle, which
represents the single enabled ciphersuite.
The SSL handshake structure mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params contains
an instance of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t which is guaranteed
to be valid, and which is hence redundant in any two-valued
implementation of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t.
This commit replaces read-uses of
mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::ciphersuite_info
by a getter functions which, and defines this getter function
either by just reading the field from the handshake structure
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is disabled), or by
returning the single valid ciphersuite handle (in case
MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled) and removing the
field from mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params in this case.
This commit adapts the ClientHello parsing routines in ssl_srv.c
to use the ciphersuite traversal macros
MBEDTLS_SSL_BEGIN_FOR_EACH_CIPHERSUITE
MBEDTLS_SSL_END_FOR_EACH_CIPHERSUITE
introduced in the last commit, thereby making them work
both with and without MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE.
Another notable change concerns the ssl_ciphersuite_match:
Previous, this function would take a ciphersuite ID and a
pointer to a destination ciphersuite info structure as input
and write eithe NULL or a valid ciphersuite info structure
to that destination address, depending on whether the suite
corresponding to the given ID was suitable or not. The
function would always return 0 outside of a fatal error.
This commit changes this to ssl_ciphersuite_is_match() which
instead already takes a ciphersuite handle (which outside
of a hardcoded ciphersuite is the same as the ptr to a
ciphersuite info structure) and returns 0 or 1 (or a
negative error code in case of a fatal error) indicating
whether the suite corresponding to the handle was acceptable
or not. The conversion of the ciphersuite ID to the ciphersuite
info structure is done prior to calling ssl_ciphersuite_is_match().
This commit modifies the ClientHello writing routine ssl_write_client_hello
in ssl_cli.c to switch between
(a) listing all runtime configured ciphersuites
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is not defined)
(b) listing just the single hardcoded ciphersuite
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is defined)
The approach taken is to introduce a pair of helper macros
MBEDTLS_SSL_BEGIN_FOR_EACH_CIPHERSUITE( ssl, ver, info )
MBEDTLS_SSL_END_FOR_EACH_CIPHERSUITE
which when delimiting a block of code lead to that block of
code being run once for each ciphersuite that's enabled in the
context `ssl` and version `ver`, referenced through the (fresh)
`info` variable. Internally, this is implemented either through
a plain `for` loop traversing the runtime configured ciphersuite
list (if MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is disabled) or by just
hardcoding `info` to the single enabled ciphersuite (if
MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled).
These helper macros will prove useful whereever previous code
traversed the runtime configured ciphersuite list, but adaptations
of those occasions outside ClientHello writing are left for later
commits.
