Ensure that the entropy self test always fails whenever
MBEDTLS_TEST_NULL_ENTROPY is defined. This is because the option is
meant to be for testing and development purposes rather than production
quality software. Also, this patch enhances the documentation for
mbedtls_entropy_source_self_test() and mbedtls_entropy_self_test().
Instead of polling the hardware entropy source a single time and
comparing the output with itself, the source is polled at least twice
and make sure that the separate outputs are different.
The self test is a quick way to check at startup whether the entropy
sources are functioning correctly. The self test only polls 8 bytes
from the default entropy source and performs the following checks:
- The bytes are not all 0x00 or 0xFF.
- The hardware does not return an error when polled.
- The entropy does not provide data in a patter. Only check pattern
at byte, word and long word sizes.
In platform.c, made the time functions dependent on the configuration
MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME to fix a build break where the functions could be
built but the mbedtls_time_t was not defined.
Separates platform time abstraction into it's own header from the
general platform abstraction as both depend on different build options.
(MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C vs MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME)
This commit fixes following warning:
> CC: aes.c
> aes.c: In function 'mbedtls_aes_self_test':
> aes.c:1225:19: error: unused variable 'iv' [-Werror=unused-variable]
> unsigned char iv[16];
> ^
> cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
If the option MBEDTLS_TEST_NULL_ENTROPY is enabled, the cmake generated
makefile will generate an error unless a UNSAFE_BUILD switch is also enabled.
Equally, a similar warning will always be generated if the Makefile is built,
and another warning is generated on every compilation of entropy.c.
This is to ensure the user is aware of what they're doing when they enable the
null entropy option.
Update the NV entropy seed before generating any entropy for outside
use. The reason this is triggered here and not in mbedtls_entropy_init(),
is that not all entropy sources mights have been added at that time.
Introduces mbedtls_nv_seed_read() and mbedtls_nv_seed_write().
The platform-layer functions are only available when
MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_NV_SEED is enabled.
Add a switch that turns entropy collecting off entirely, but enables
mbed TLS to run in an entirely unsafe mode. Enables to test mbed TLS
on platforms that don't have their entropy sources integrated yet.
Commit daf534d from PR #457 breaks the build. This may reintroduce a
clang-analyse warning, but this is the wrong fix for that.
The fix removed a call to mbedtls_ecp_curve_info_from_grp_id() to find
the curve info. This fix adds that back in.
