Building Mbed TLS with PSA cryptoprocessor drivers
|
||
|
|
==================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**This is a specification of work in progress. The implementation is not yet merged into Mbed TLS.**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document describes how to build Mbed TLS with additional cryptoprocessor drivers that follow the PSA cryptoprocessor driver interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The interface is not fully implemented in Mbed TLS yet and is disabled by default. You can enable the experimental work in progress by setting `MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS` in the compile-time configuration. Please note that the interface may still change: until further notice, we do not guarantee backward compatibility with existing driver code when `MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS` is enabled.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
## Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The PSA cryptography driver interface provides a way to build Mbed TLS with additional code that implements certain cryptographic primitives. This is primarily intended to support platform-specific hardware.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that such drivers are only available through the PSA cryptography API (crypto functions beginning with `psa_`, and X.509 and TLS interfaces that reference PSA types).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Concretely speaking, a driver consists of one or more **driver description files** in JSON format and some code to include in the build. The driver code can either be provided in binary form as additional object file to link, or in source form.

## How to build Mbed TLS with drivers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build Mbed TLS with drivers:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Activate `MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS` in the library configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
cd /path/to/mbedtls
|
||
|
|
scripts/config.py set MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Pass the driver description files through the Make variable `PSA_DRIVERS` when building the library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
cd /path/to/mbedtls
|
||
|
|
make PSA_DRIVERS="/path/to/acme/driver.json /path/to/nadir/driver.json" lib
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Link your application with the implementation of the driver functions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
cd /path/to/application
|
||
|
|
ld myapp.o -L/path/to/acme -lacmedriver -L/path/to/nadir -lnadirdriver -L/path/to/mbedtls -lmbedcrypto
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
