When using a primality testing function the tolerable error rate depends
on the scheme in question, the required security strength and wether it
is used for key generation or parameter validation. To support all use
cases we need more flexibility than what the old API provides.
The input distribution to primality testing functions is completely
different when used for generating primes and when for validating
primes. The constants used in the library are geared towards the prime
generation use case and are weak when used for validation. (Maliciously
constructed composite numbers can pass the test with high probability)
The mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() function is in the public API and although it
is not documented, it is reasonable to assume that the primary use case
is validating primes. The RSA module too uses it for validating key
material.
Primality tests have to deal with different distribution when generating
primes and when validating primes.
These new tests are testing if mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() is working
properly in the latter setting.
The new tests involve pseudoprimes with maximum number of
non-witnesses. The non-witnesses were generated by printing them
from mpi_miller_rabin(). The pseudoprimes were generated by the
following function:
void gen_monier( mbedtls_mpi* res, int nbits )
{
mbedtls_mpi p_2x_plus_1, p_4x_plus_1, x, tmp;
mbedtls_mpi_init( &p_2x_plus_1 );
mbedtls_mpi_init( &p_4x_plus_1 );
mbedtls_mpi_init( &x ); mbedtls_mpi_init( &tmp );
do
{
mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime( &p_2x_plus_1, nbits >> 1, 0,
rnd_std_rand, NULL );
mbedtls_mpi_sub_int( &x, &p_2x_plus_1, 1 );
mbedtls_mpi_div_int( &x, &tmp, &x, 2 );
if( mbedtls_mpi_get_bit( &x, 0 ) == 0 )
continue;
mbedtls_mpi_mul_int( &p_4x_plus_1, &x, 4 );
mbedtls_mpi_add_int( &p_4x_plus_1, &p_4x_plus_1, 1 );
if( mbedtls_mpi_is_prime( &p_4x_plus_1, rnd_std_rand,
NULL ) == 0 )
break;
} while( 1 );
mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi( res, &p_2x_plus_1, &p_4x_plus_1 );
}
The FIPS 186-4 RSA key generation prescribes lower failure probability
in primality testing and this makes key generation slower. We enable the
caller to decide between compliance/security and performance.
This python script calculates the base two logarithm of the formulas in
HAC Fact 4.48 and was used to determine the breakpoints and number of
rounds:
def mrpkt_log_2(k, t):
if t <= k/9.0:
return 3*math.log(k,2)/2+t-math.log(t,2)/2+4-2*math.sqrt(t*k)
elif t <= k/4.0:
c1 = math.log(7.0*k/20,2)-5*t
c2 = math.log(1/7.0,2)+15*math.log(k,2)/4.0-k/2.0-2*t
c3 = math.log(12*k,2)-k/4.0-3*t
return max(c1, c2, c3)
else:
return math.log(1/7.0)+15*math.log(k,2)/4.0-k/2.0-2*t
If `MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C` is configured and Mbed TLS'
custom buffer allocator is used for calloc() and free(), the
read buffer used by the server example application is allocated
from the buffer allocator, but freed after the buffer allocator
has been destroyed. If memory backtracing is enabled, this leaves
a memory leak in the backtracing structure allocated for the buffer,
as found by valgrind.
Fixes#2069.
In the previous bounds check `(*p) > end - len`, the computation
of `end - len` might underflow if `end` is within the first 64KB
of the address space (note that the length `len` is controlled by
the peer). In this case, the bounds check will be bypassed, leading
to `*p` exceed the message bounds by up to 64KB when leaving
`ssl_parse_server_psk_hint()`. In a pure PSK-based handshake,
this doesn't seem to have any consequences, as `*p*` is not accessed
afterwards. In a PSK-(EC)DHE handshake, however, `*p` is read from
in `ssl_parse_server_ecdh_params()` and `ssl_parse_server_dh_params()`
which might lead to an application crash of information leakage.
* The variables `csr` and `issuer_crt` are initialized but not freed.
* The variable `entropy` is unconditionally freed in the cleanup section
but there's a conditional jump to that section before its initialization.
This cmmot Moves it to the other initializations happening before the
first conditional jump to the cleanup section.
Fixes#1422.
The Cortex M4, M7 MCUs and the Cortex A CPUs support the ARM DSP
instructions, and especially the umaal instruction which greatly
speed up MULADDC code. In addition the patch switched the ASM
constraints to registers instead of memory, giving the opportunity
for the compiler to load them the best way.
The speed improvement is variable depending on the crypto operation
and the CPU. Here are the results on a Cortex M4, a Cortex M7 and a
Cortex A8. All tests have been done with GCC 6.3 using -O2. RSA uses a
RSA-4096 key. ECDSA uses a secp256r1 curve EC key pair.

| ECDSA signing | +6.3% | +7.9% | +4.1% |

| RSA encryption | +3.4% | +9.7% | +3.6% |

| RSA decryption | +43.0% | +67.8% | +22.8% |
+----------------+--------+--------+--------+
I ran the whole testsuite on the Cortex A8 Linux environment, and it
all passes.
stdio.h was being included both conditionally if MBEDTLS_FS_IO was
defined, and also unconditionally, which made at least one of them
redundant.
This change removes the unconditional inclusion of stdio.h and makes it
conditional on MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C.
Exclude ".git" directories anywhere. This avoids spurious errors in git
checkouts that contain branch names that look like a file
check-files.py would check. Fix#1713
Exclude "mbed-os" anywhere and "examples" from the root. Switch to the
new mechanism to exclude "yotta/module". These are directories where
we store third-party files that do not need to match our preferences.
Exclude "cov-int" from the root. Fix#1691
Changes run-test-suites.pl to filter out directories, and select only files
as on OSX, test coverage tests create .dSYM directories which were being
accidentally selected to execute.
We don't need to disable ASLR, so don't try. If gdb tries but fails,
the test runs normally, but all.sh then trips up because it sees
`warning: Error disabling address space randomization: Operation not permitted`
and interprets it as an error that indicates a test failure.
Generate the documentation from include and doxygen/input only. Don't
get snared by files containing Doxygen comments that lie in other
directories such as tests, yotta, crypto/include, ...
The only difference this makes in a fresh checkout is that the
documentation no longer lists target_config.h. This file is from
yotta, does not contain any Doxygen comment, and its inclusion in the
rendered documentation was clearly an oversight.
Add signing tests with 528-bit and 520-bit RSA keys with SHA-512. These
selections of key and hash size should lead to an error returned, as
there is not enough room for our chosen minimum salt size of two bytes
less than the hash size. These test the boundary around an available
salt length of 0 or -1 bytes.
The RSA keys were generated with OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre8.

Since we wish to generate RSASSA-PSS signatures even when hashes are
relatively large for the chosen RSA key size, we need some tests. Our
main focus will be on 1024-bit keys and the couple key sizes larger than
it. For example, we test for a signature generated using a salt length
of 63 when a 1032-bit key is used. Other tests check the boundary
conditions around other key sizes. We want to make sure we don't use a
salt length larger than the hash length (because FIPS 186-4 requires
this). We also want to make sure we don't use a salt that is too small
(no smaller than 2 bytes away from the hash length).
Test RSASSA-PSS signatures with:
- 1024-bit key and SHA-512 (slen 62)
- 1032-bit key and SHA-512 (slen 63)
- 1040-bit key and SHA-512 (slen 64)
- 1048-bit key and SHA-512 (slen 64)
The tests also verify that we can properly verify the RSASSA-PSS
signatures we've generated.
We've manually verified that OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre8 can verify the
RSASSA-PSS signatures we've generated.

We've also added a new test that ensures we can properly validate a
RSASSA-PSS 1032-bit signature with SHA-512 generated by OpenSSL. This
has been added as the "RSASSA-PSS Verify OpenSSL-generated Signature
1032-bit w/SHA-512" test. The signature to verify was generated with the
following command line.
$ cat message.bin | openssl dgst -sha512 -sigopt rsa_padding_mode:pss -sigopt rsa_pss_saltlen:63 -sign rsa1032.pem > valid.bin
The RSA private keys used by these tests were generated with OpenSSL
1.1.1-pre8.

It should be valid to RSASSA-PSS sign a SHA-512 hash with a 1024-bit or
1032-bit RSA key, but with the salt size being always equal to the hash
size, this isn't possible: the key is too small.
To enable use of hashes that are relatively large compared to the key
size, allow reducing the salt size to no less than the hash size minus 2
bytes. We don't allow salt sizes smaller than the hash size minus 2
bytes because that too significantly changes the security guarantees the
library provides compared to the previous implementation which always
used a salt size equal to the hash size. The new calculated salt size
remains compliant with FIPS 186-4.
We also need to update the "hash too large" test, since we now reduce
the salt size when certain key sizes are used. We used to not support
1024-bit keys with SHA-512, but now we support this by reducing the salt
size to 62. Update the "hash too large" test to use a 1016-bit RSA key
with SHA-512, which still has too large of a hash because we will not
reduce the salt size further than 2 bytes shorter than the hash size.
The RSA private key used for the test was generated using "openssl
genrsa 1016" using OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre8.

Yotta is no longer supported by Mbed TLS, so has been removed. Specifically, the
following changes have been made:
* references to yotta have been removed from the main readme and build
instructions
* the yotta module directory and build script has been removed
* yotta has been removed from test scripts such as all.sh and check-names.sh
* yotta has been removed from other files that that referenced it such as the
doxyfile and the bn_mul.h header
* yotta specific configurations and references have been removed from config.h
Setting the dh_flag to 1 used to indicate that the caller requests safe
primes from mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime. We generalize the functionality to
make room for more flags in that parameter.
