This commit removes all the static occurrencies of the function
mbedtls_zeroize() in each of the individual .c modules. Instead the
function has been moved to utils.h that is included in each of the
modules.
The function mbedtls_ecp_gen_keypair_base did not wipe the stack buffer used to
hold the private exponent before returning. This commit fixes this by not using
a stack buffer in the first place but instead calling mpi_fill_random directly
to acquire the necessary random MPI.
If rsm != NULL then the curve type has to be Short Weierstrass, as we don't
implement restartable Montgomery now. If and when we do, then it's better to
check for the subcontext only, and not for the curve type.
Exactly one of three ways will be used, so make that clear by using an
if 1 else if 2 else 3 structure.
While at it, don't initialize variables at declaration, just to make extra
sure they're properly initialized afterwards in all code paths.
Systematically assign state just before the next operation that may return,
rather that just after the previous one. This makes things more local. (For
example, previously precompute_comb() has to handle a state reset for
mul_comb_core(), a kind of coupling that's best avoided.)
Note that this change doesn't move the location of state updates relative
to any potential return point, which is all that matters.
Incrementing the state is error-prone as we can end up doing it too many times
(loops) or not enough (skipped branches), or just make programming mistakes
(eg. the state was incremented twice at the end, so it ended up with a value
not in the enum...)
This is the first step of the rework, the next one will rationalize where the
state assignments are done.
The call would anyway check for pointer equality and return early, but it
doesn't hurt to save a function call, and also this follows more uniformly the
pattern that those two lines go together:
#if defined(MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTBLE)
if( rs_ctx != NULL && ...
(Unrelated to restartable work, just noticed while staring at the code.)
Checking at the end is inefficient as we might give up when we just generated
a valid signature or key.
Otherwise code that uses these functions in other modules will have to do:
#if defined(MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE)
ret = do_stuff( there, may, be, many, args );
#else
ret = do_stuff( their, may, be, namy, args, rs_ctx );
#fi
and there is a risk that the arg list will differ when code is updated, and
this might not be caught immediately by tests because this depends on a
config.h compile-time option which are harder to test.
Always declaring the restartable variants of the API functions avoids this
problem; the cost in ROM size should be negligible.
This will be useful for restartable ECDH and ECDSA. Currently they call
mbedtls_ecp_gen_keypair(); one could make that one restartable, but that means
adding its own sub-context, while ECDH and ECDSA (will) have their own
contexts already, so switching to this saves one extra context.
This should only be done in the top-level function.
Also, we need to know if we indeed are the top-level function or not: for
example, when mbedtls_ecp_muladd() calls mbedtls_ecp_mul(), the later should
not reset ops_done. This is handled by the "depth" parameter in the restart
context.
When a restartable function calls another restartable function, the current
ops_count needs to be shared to avoid either doing too many operations or
returning IN_PROGRESS uselessly. So it needs to be in the top-level context
rather than a specific sub-context.
This was intended to detect aborted operations, but now that case is handled
by the caller freeing the restart context.
Also, as the internal sub-context is managed by the callee, no need for the
caller to free/reset the restart context between successful calls.
Following discussion in the team, it was deemed preferable for the restart
context to be explicitly managed by the caller.
This commits in the first in a series moving in that directly: it starts by
only changing the public API, while still internally using the old design.
Future commits in that series will change to the new design internally.
The test function was simplified as it no longer makes sense to test for some
memory management errors since that responsibility shifted to the caller.
It's going to be convenient for each function that can generate a
MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_IN_PROGRESS on its own (as opposed to just passing it around)
to have its own restart context that they can allocate and free as needed
independently of the restart context of other functions.
For example ecp_muladd() is going to have its own restart_muladd context that
in can managed, then when it calls ecp_mul() this will manage a restart_mul
context without interfering with the caller's context.
So, things need to be renames to avoid future name clashes.
From a user's perspective, you want a "basic operation" to take approximately
the same amount of time regardless of the curve size, especially since max_ops
is a global setting: otherwise if you pick a limit suitable for P-384 then
when you do an operation on P-256 it will return way more often than needed.
Said otherwise, a user is actually interested in actual running time, and we
do the API in terms of "basic ops" for practical reasons (no timers) but then
we should make sure it's a good proxy for running time.
Ok, so the original plan was to make mpi_inv_mod() the smallest block that
could not be divided. Updated plan is that the smallest block will be either:
- ecp_normalize_jac_many() (one mpi_inv_mod() + a number or mpi_mul_mpi()s)
- or the second loop in ecp_precompute_comb()
With default settings, the minimum non-restartable sequence is:
- for P-256: 222M
- for P-384: 341M
This is within a 2-3x factor of originally planned value of 120M. However,
that value can be approached, at the cost of some performance, by setting
ECP_WINDOW_SIZE (w below) lower than the default of 6. For example:
- w=4 -> 166M for any curve (perf. impact < 10%)
- w=2 -> 130M for any curve (perf. impact ~ 30%)
My opinion is that the current state with w=4 is a good compromise, and the
code complexity need to attain 120M is not warranted by the 1.4 factor between
that and the current minimum with w=4 (which is close to optimal perf).
This is the easy part: with the current steps, all information between steps
is passed via T which is already saved. Next we'll need to split at least the
first loop, and maybe calls to normalize_jac_many() and/or the second loop.
Separating main computation from filling of the auxiliary array makes things
clearer and easier to restart as we don't have to remember the in-progress
auxiliary array.
Previously there were only two states:
- T unallocated
- T allocated and valid
Now there are three:
- T unallocated
- T allocated and in progress
- T allocated and valid
Introduce new bool T_ok to distinguish the last two states.
Free it as soon as it's no longer needed, but as a backup free it in
ecp_group_free(), in case ecp_mul() is not called again after returning
ECP_IN_PROGRESS.
So far we only remember it when it's fully computed, next step is to be able
to compute it in multiple steps.
In case of argument change, freeing everything is not the most efficient
(wastes one free()+calloc()) but makes the code simpler, which is probably
more important here
We'll need to store MPIs and other things that allocate memory in this
context, so we need a place to free it. We can't rely on doing it before
returning from ecp_mul() as we might return MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_IN_PROGRESS (thus
preserving the context) and never be called again (for example, TLS handshake
aborted for another reason). So, ecp_group_free() looks like a good place to
do this, if the restart context is part of struct ecp_group.
This means it's not possible to use the same ecp_group structure in different
threads concurrently, but:
- that's already the case (and documented) for other reasons
- this feature is precisely intended for environments that lack threading
An alternative option would be for the caller to have to allocate/free the
restart context and pass it explicitly, but this means creating new functions
that take a context argument, and putting a burden on the user.
The plan is to count basic operations as follows:
- call to ecp_add_mixed() -> 11
- call to ecp_double_jac() -> 8
- call to mpi_mul_mpi() -> 1
- call to mpi_inv_mod() -> 120
- everything else -> not counted
The counts for ecp_add_mixed() and ecp_double_jac() are based on the actual
number of calls to mpi_mul_mpi() they they make.
The count for mpi_inv_mod() is based on timing measurements on K64F and
LPC1768 boards, and are consistent with the usual very rough estimate of one
inversion = 100 multiplications. It could be useful to repeat that measurement
on a Cortex-M0 board as those have smaller divider and multipliers, so the
result could be a bit different but should be the same order of magnitude.
The documented limitation of 120 basic ops is due to the calls to mpi_inv_mod()
which are currently not interruptible nor planned to be so far.
Protecting the ECP hardware acceleratior with mutexes is inconsistent with the
philosophy of the library. Pre-existing hardware accelerator interfaces
leave concurrency support to the underlying platform.

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 intended use of the abstraction layer for Elliptic Curve Point
arithmetic is to enable using hardware cryptographic accelerators.
These devices are a shared resource and the driver code rarely provides
thread safety.
This commit adds mutexes to the abstraction layer to protect the device
in a multi-threaded environment.
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.
