The ssl-opt.sh test cases using session resumption tend to fail occasionally on the CI due to a race condition in how ssl_server2 and ssl_client2 handle the reconnection cycle. The server does the following in order: - S1 send application data - S2 send a close_notify alert - S3 close the client socket - S4 wait for a "new connection" (actually a new datagram) - S5 start a handshake The client does the following in order: - C1 wait for and read application data from the server - C2 send a close_notify alert - C3 close the server socket - C4 reset session data and re-open a server socket - C5 start a handshake If the client has been able to send the close_notify (C2) and if has been delivered to the server before if closes the client socket (S3), when the server reaches S4, the datagram that we start the new connection will be the ClientHello and everything will be fine. However if S3 wins the race and happens before the close_notify is delivered, in S4 the close_notify is what will be seen as the first datagram in a new connection, and then in S5 this will rightfully be rejected as not being a valid ClientHello and the server will close the connection (and go wait for another one). The client will then fail to read from the socket and exit non-zero and the ssl-opt.sh harness will correctly report this as a failure. In order to avoid this race condition in test using ssl_client2 and ssl_server2, this commits introduces a new command-line option skip_close_notify to ssl_client2 and uses it in all ssl-opt.sh tests that use session resumption with DTLS and ssl_server2. This works because ssl_server2 knows how many messages it expects in each direction and in what order, and closes the connection after that rather than relying on close_notify (which is also why there was a race in the first place). Tests that use another server (in practice there are two of them, using OpenSSL as a server) wouldn't work with skip_close_notify, as the server won't close the connection until the client sends a close_notify, but for the same reason they don't need it (there is no race between receiving close_notify and closing as the former is the cause of the later). An alternative approach would be to make ssl_server2 keep the connection open until it receives a close_notify. Unfortunately it creates problems for tests where we simulate a lossy network, as the close_notify could be lost (and the client can't retransmit it). We could modify udp_proxy with an option to never drop alert messages, but when TLS 1.3 comes that would no longer work as the type of messages will be encrypted.

README for Mbed TLS
Configuration
Mbed TLS should build out of the box on most systems. Some platform specific options are available in the fully documented configuration file include/mbedtls/config.h, which is also the place where features can be selected. This file can be edited manually, or in a more programmatic way using the Perl script scripts/config.pl (use --help for usage instructions).
Compiler options can be set using conventional environment variables such as CC and CFLAGS when using the Make and CMake build system (see below).
Compiling
There are currently three active build systems used within Mbed TLS releases:
- GNU Make
- CMake
- Microsoft Visual Studio (Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 or later)
The main systems used for development are CMake and GNU Make. Those systems are always complete and up-to-date. The others should reflect all changes present in the CMake and Make build system, although features may not be ported there automatically.
The Make and CMake build systems create three libraries: libmbedcrypto, libmbedx509, and libmbedtls. Note that libmbedtls depends on libmbedx509 and libmbedcrypto, and libmbedx509 depends on libmbedcrypto. As a result, some linkers will expect flags to be in a specific order, for example the GNU linker wants -lmbedtls -lmbedx509 -lmbedcrypto. Also, when loading shared libraries using dlopen(), you'll need to load libmbedcrypto first, then libmbedx509, before you can load libmbedtls.
Make
We require GNU Make. To build the library and the sample programs, GNU Make and a C compiler are sufficient. Some of the more advanced build targets require some Unix/Linux tools.
We intentionally only use a minimum of functionality in the makefiles in order to keep them as simple and independent of different toolchains as possible, to allow users to more easily move between different platforms. Users who need more features are recommended to use CMake.
In order to build from the source code using GNU Make, just enter at the command line:
make
In order to run the tests, enter:
make check
The tests need Python to be built and Perl to be run. If you don't have one of them installed, you can skip building the tests with:
make no_test
You'll still be able to run a much smaller set of tests with:
programs/test/selftest
In order to build for a Windows platform, you should use WINDOWS_BUILD=1 if the target is Windows but the build environment is Unix-like (for instance when cross-compiling, or compiling from an MSYS shell), and WINDOWS=1 if the build environment is a Windows shell (for instance using mingw32-make) (in that case some targets will not be available).
Setting the variable SHARED in your environment will build shared libraries in addition to the static libraries. Setting DEBUG gives you a debug build. You can override CFLAGS and LDFLAGS by setting them in your environment or on the make command line; compiler warning options may be overridden separately using WARNING_CFLAGS. Some directory-specific options (for example, -I directives) are still preserved.
Please note that setting CFLAGS overrides its default value of -O2 and setting WARNING_CFLAGS overrides its default value (starting with -Wall -W), so if you just want to add some warning options to the default ones, you can do so by setting CFLAGS=-O2 -Werror for example. Setting WARNING_CFLAGS is useful when you want to get rid of its default content (for example because your compiler doesn't accept -Wall as an option). Directory-specific options cannot be overridden from the command line.
Depending on your platform, you might run into some issues. Please check the Makefiles in library/, programs/ and tests/ for options to manually add or remove for specific platforms. You can also check the Mbed TLS Knowledge Base for articles on your platform or issue.
In case you find that you need to do something else as well, please let us know what, so we can add it to the Mbed TLS Knowledge Base.
CMake
In order to build the source using CMake in a separate directory (recommended), just enter at the command line:
mkdir /path/to/build_dir && cd /path/to/build_dir
cmake /path/to/mbedtls_source
make
In order to run the tests, enter:
make test
The test suites need Python to be built and Perl to be executed. If you don't have one of these installed, you'll want to disable the test suites with:
cmake -DENABLE_TESTING=Off /path/to/mbedtls_source
If you disabled the test suites, but kept the programs enabled, you can still run a much smaller set of tests with:
programs/test/selftest
To configure CMake for building shared libraries, use:
cmake -DUSE_SHARED_MBEDTLS_LIBRARY=On /path/to/mbedtls_source
There are many different build modes available within the CMake buildsystem. Most of them are available for gcc and clang, though some are compiler-specific:
Release. This generates the default code without any unnecessary information in the binary files.Debug. This generates debug information and disables optimization of the code.Coverage. This generates code coverage information in addition to debug information.ASan. This instruments the code with AddressSanitizer to check for memory errors. (This includes LeakSanitizer, with recent version of gcc and clang.) (With recent version of clang, this mode also instruments the code with UndefinedSanitizer to check for undefined behaviour.)ASanDbg. Same as ASan but slower, with debug information and better stack traces.MemSan. This instruments the code with MemorySanitizer to check for uninitialised memory reads. Experimental, needs recent clang on Linux/x86_64.MemSanDbg. Same as MemSan but slower, with debug information, better stack traces and origin tracking.Check. This activates the compiler warnings that depend on optimization and treats all warnings as errors.
Switching build modes in CMake is simple. For debug mode, enter at the command line:
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug /path/to/mbedtls_source
To list other available CMake options, use:
cmake -LH
Note that, with CMake, you can't adjust the compiler or its flags after the
initial invocation of cmake. This means that CC=your_cc make and make CC=your_cc will not work (similarly with CFLAGS and other variables).
These variables need to be adjusted when invoking cmake for the first time,
for example:
CC=your_cc cmake /path/to/mbedtls_source
If you already invoked cmake and want to change those settings, you need to remove the build directory and create it again.
Note that it is possible to build in-place; this will however overwrite the
provided Makefiles (see scripts/tmp_ignore_makefiles.sh if you want to
prevent git status from showing them as modified). In order to do so, from
the Mbed TLS source directory, use:
cmake .
make
If you want to change CC or CFLAGS afterwards, you will need to remove the
CMake cache. This can be done with the following command using GNU find:
find . -iname '*cmake*' -not -name CMakeLists.txt -exec rm -rf {} +
You can now make the desired change:
CC=your_cc cmake .
make
Regarding variables, also note that if you set CFLAGS when invoking cmake, your value of CFLAGS doesn't override the content provided by cmake (depending on the build mode as seen above), it's merely prepended to it.
Microsoft Visual Studio
The build files for Microsoft Visual Studio are generated for Visual Studio 2010.
The solution file mbedTLS.sln contains all the basic projects needed to build the library and all the programs. The files in tests are not generated and compiled, as these need Python and perl environments as well. However, the selftest program in programs/test/ is still available.
Example programs
We've included example programs for a lot of different features and uses in programs/. Most programs only focus on a single feature or usage scenario, so keep that in mind when copying parts of the code.
Tests
Mbed TLS includes an elaborate test suite in tests/ that initially requires Python to generate the tests files (e.g. test\_suite\_mpi.c). These files are generated from a function file (e.g. suites/test\_suite\_mpi.function) and a data file (e.g. suites/test\_suite\_mpi.data). The function file contains the test functions. The data file contains the test cases, specified as parameters that will be passed to the test function.
For machines with a Unix shell and OpenSSL (and optionally GnuTLS) installed, additional test scripts are available:
tests/ssl-opt.shruns integration tests for various TLS options (renegotiation, resumption, etc.) and tests interoperability of these options with other implementations.tests/compat.shtests interoperability of every ciphersuite with other implementations.tests/scripts/test-ref-configs.pltest builds in various reduced configurations.tests/scripts/key-exchanges.pltest builds in configurations with a single key exchange enabledtests/scripts/all.shruns a combination of the above tests, plus some more, with various build options (such as ASan, fullconfig.h, etc).
Configurations
We provide some non-standard configurations focused on specific use cases in the configs/ directory. You can read more about those in configs/README.txt
Porting Mbed TLS
Mbed TLS can be ported to many different architectures, OS's and platforms. Before starting a port, you may find the following Knowledge Base articles useful:
- Porting Mbed TLS to a new environment or OS
- What external dependencies does Mbed TLS rely on?
- How do I configure Mbed TLS
