Add a parameter to the p_validate_slot_number method to allow the
driver to modify the persistent data.
With the current structure of the core, the persistent data is already
updated. All it took was adding a way to modify it.
When registering a key in a secure element, go through the transaction
mechanism. This makes the code simpler, at the expense of a few extra
storage operations. Given that registering a key is typically very
rare over the lifetime of a device, this is an acceptable loss.
Drivers must now have a p_validate_slot_number method, otherwise
registering a key is not possible. This reduces the risk that due to a
mistake during the integration of a device, an application might claim
a slot in a way that is not supported by the driver.
Define a vendor-range within the the private use ranges in the IANA
registry. Provide recommendations for how to support vendor-defined
curves and groups.
If none of the inputs to a key derivation is a
PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SECRET passed with
psa_key_derivation_input_key(), forbid
psa_key_derivation_output_key(). It usually doesn't make sense to
derive a key object if the secret isn't itself a proper key.
Allow a direct input as the SECRET input step in a key derivation, in
addition to allowing DERIVE keys. This makes it easier for
applications to run a key derivation where the "secret" input is
obtained from somewhere else. This makes it possible for the "secret"
input to be empty (keys cannot be empty), which some protocols do (for
example the IV derivation in EAP-TLS).
Conversely, allow a RAW_DATA key as the INFO/LABEL/SALT/SEED input to a key
derivation, in addition to allowing direct inputs. This doesn't
improve security, but removes a step when a personalization parameter
is stored in the key store, and allows this personalization parameter
to remain opaque.
Add test cases that explore step/key-type-and-keyhood combinations.
Keys of size 0 generally don't make sense: a key is supposed to be
secret. There is one edge case which is "raw data" keys, which are
useful to store non-key objects in the same storage location as keys.
However those are also problematic because they involve a zero-length
buffer. Manipulating zero-length buffers in C requires special cases
with functions like malloc() and memcpy(). Additionally, 0 as a key
size already has a meaning "unspecified", which does not always
overlap seamlessly with the meaning "0".
Therefore, forbid keys of size 0. No implementation may accept them.
Clarify how key creation functions use attributes. Explain the meaning
of attribute values, espcially what 0 means in each field where it has
a special meaning. Explain what an algorithm usage policy can be (an
algorithm, a wildcard with ANY_HASH, or 0).
* open output distinct key handles
* each handle must be closed
* destroying a key does not invalidate other handles
* closing a key can/might fail an active operation (but not required)
It may be possible that the implementation runs out of
memory when exporting a key from storage or a secure
element. For example, it may not be possible to directly
move the data from storage to the caller, so the implementation
will have to buffer the material temporarily (an issue if dynamic
memory allocation scheme is used). For a large key
this is more likely to return.
It may be possible that an implementation does not
fetch key material until a command like
this is called and such an error may occur if an
off-chip secure storage dependency may have been wiped.
Note that PSA_ERROR_NOT_PERMITTED is not included
because I can't think of a scenario where you have
a valid key handle but aren't allowed to read the
attributes
If the key doesn't exist by the time this call is made
then the handle is invalid,
which means that PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE should be
returned rather than "does not exist"

Avoid compiler errors when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_KEY_FILE_ID_ENCODES_OWNER
is set by using the application ID type.
[Error] psa_crypto_slot_management.c@175,9: used type 'psa_key_id_t' (aka 'psa_key_file_id_t') where arithmetic or pointer type is required
A macro useful for initializing psa_key_id_t, whether
MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_KEY_FILE_ID_ENCODES_OWNER is set or not. Without this
macro, it is necessary to know if
MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_KEY_FILE_ID_ENCODES_OWNER as with it the key ID is
non-scalar and needs to be initialized with {0, 0}, and 0 otherwise when
key ID is scalar.
Adjust the wording to permit multiple handles to a single key - closing
a handle does not necessarily release volatile memory associated with
the key, that only occurs when the last handle is closed.
- Describe the implementation defined behavior for opening multiple
keys, and provide a reference to the relevant section.
- Describe the use of INSUFFICENT_MEMORY error to indicate additional
implementation resource constaints.
- Clarify the distinction between DOES_NOT_EXIST and INVALID_HANDLE
error conditions.
Avoid an error with differing linkages being expressed for
psa_set_key_domain_parameters() between crypto_extra.h and
crypto_struct.h in C++ builds.
[Error] crypto_extra.h@456,14: conflicting declaration of 'psa_status_t psa_set_key_domain_parameters(psa_key_attributes_t*, psa_key_type_t, const uint8_t *, size_t)' with 'C' linkage
The methods to import and generate a key in a secure element drivers
were written for an earlier version of the application-side interface.
Now that there is a psa_key_attributes_t structure that combines all
key metadata including its lifetime (location), type, size, policy and
extra type-specific data (domain parameters), pass that to drivers
instead of separate arguments for each piece of metadata. This makes
the interface less cluttered.
Update parameter names and descriptions to follow general conventions.
Document the public-key output on key generation more precisely.
Explain that it is optional in a driver, and when a driver would
implement it. Declare that it is optional in the core, too (which
means that a crypto core might not support drivers for secure elements
that do need this feature).
Update the implementation and the tests accordingly.
Register an existing key in a secure element.
Minimal implementation that doesn't call any driver method and just
lets the application declare whatever it wants.
Pass the key creation method (import/generate/derive/copy) to the
driver methods to allocate or validate a slot number. This allows
drivers to enforce policies such as "this key slot can only be used
for keys generated inside the secure element".
Test the behavior of the getter/setter functions.
Test that psa_get_key_slot_number() reports a slot number for a key in
a secure element, and doesn't report a slot number for a key that is
not in a secure element.
Test that psa_get_key_slot_number() reports the correct slot number
for a key in a secure element.
Add a slot_number field to psa_key_attributes_t and getter/setter
functions. Since slot numbers can have the value 0, indicate the
presence of the field via a separate flag.
In psa_get_key_attributes(), report the slot number if the key is in a
secure element.
When creating a key, for now, applications cannot choose a slot
number. A subsequent commit will add this capability in the secure
element HAL.
Add infrastructure for internal, external and dual-use flags, with a
compile-time check (if static_assert is available) to ensure that the
same numerical value doesn't get declared for two different purposes
in crypto_struct.h (external or dual-use) and
psa_crypto_core.h (internal).
Conflict resolution:
* `scripts/config.pl`:
Take the exclusion of `MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C` from the API branch.
Take the removal of `MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_STORAGE_ITS_C` (obsolete) from
the development branch.
* `tests/scripts/all.sh`:
Multiple instances of factoring a sequence of `config.pl` calls into
a mere `config.pl baremetal` in the development branch, and a change in
the composition of `baremetal` in the API branch. In each case, take the
version from development.
* `tests/suites/test_suite_psa_crypto_slot_management.function`:
A function became non-static in development and disappeared in the API
branch. Keep the version from the API branch. Functions need to be
non-static if they're defined but unused in some configurations,
which is not the case for any function in this file at the moment.
* `tests/suites/test_suite_psa_crypto.function`:
Consecutive changes in the two branches, reconciled.
65528 bits is more than any reasonable key until we start supporting
post-quantum cryptography.
This limit is chosen to allow bit-sizes to be stored in 16 bits, with
65535 left to indicate an invalid value. It's a whole number of bytes,
which facilitates some calculations, in particular allowing a key of
exactly PSA_CRYPTO_MAX_STORAGE_SIZE to be created but not one bit
more.
As a resource usage limit, this is arguably too large, but that's out
of scope of the current commit.
Test that key import, generation and derivation reject overly large
sizes.
Move the "core attributes" to a substructure of psa_key_attribute_t.
The motivation is to be able to use the new structure
psa_core_key_attributes_t internally.
Add a parameter to the key import method of a secure element driver to
make it report the key size in bits. This is necessary (otherwise the
core has no idea what the bit-size is), and making import report it is
easier than adding a separate method (for other key creation methods,
this information is an input, not an output).
Most driver methods are not allowed to modify the persistent data, so
the driver context structure contains a const pointer to it. Pass a
non-const pointer to the persstent data to the driver methods that
need it: init, allocate, destroy.
Pass the driver context to all driver methods except the ones that
operate on an already-setup operation context.
Rename `p_context` arguments to `op_context` to avoid confusion
between contexts.
This slightly increases storage requirements, but works in more use
cases. In particular, it allows drivers to treat choose slot numbers
with a monotonic counter that is incremented each time a key is
created, without worrying about overflow in practice.
Instead of having one giant table containing all possible methods,
represent a driver's method table as a structure containing pointers
to substructures. This way a driver that doesn't implement a certain
class of operations can use NULL for this class as a whole instead of
storing NULL for each method.
Technically we could have reused the old one for the new API, but then
we had to set an extra field during setup. The new version works when
all the fields that haven't been set explicitely are zero-initialised.
This change affects the psa_key_derivation_s structure. With the buffer
removed from the union, it is empty if MBEDTLS_MD_C is not defined.
We can avoid undefined behaviour by adding a new dummy field that is
always present or make the whole union conditional on MBEDTLS_MD_C.
In this latter case the initialiser macro has to depend on MBEDTLS_MD_C
as well. Furthermore the first structure would be either
psa_hkdf_key_derivation_t or psa_tls12_prf_key_derivation_t both of
which are very deep and would make the initialisation macro difficult
to maintain, therefore we go with the first option.
We want to make the PRF context structure depend on this flag, but
crypto_extra.h is included after crypto_struct.h and having the
option at its original place would not affect crypto_struct.h.
Add the compile time option PSA_PRE_1_0_KEY_DERIVATION. If this is not
turned on, then the function `psa_key_derivation()` is removed.
Most of the tests regarding key derivation haven't been adapted to the
new API yet and some of them have only been adapted partially. When this
new option is turned off, the tests using the old API and test cases
using the old API of partially adapted tests are skipped.
The sole purpose of this option is to make the transition to the new API
smoother. Once the transition is complete it can and should be removed
along with the old API and its implementation.
From the implementation point of view does not make much difference to
constrain the input order.
We constrain it because, this way the code is easier to review, the data
flow easier to understand and the implementations in general are easier
to validate.
Relative include paths should be avoided. The build system will
determine where to pull in includes from. Specifically, `#include
"../mbedtls/config.h"` shouldn't be used. Use `#include
"mbedtls/config.h` instead, so that the submodule-building makefiles can
change which directory to use to get mbedtls include files from.
Fixes#141
Remove the key creation functions from before the attribute-based API,
i.e. the key creation functions that worked by allocating a slot, then
setting metadata through the handle and finally creating key material.
Don't use "safe buffer size", because this it's somewhat misleading to
make it about safety: a buffer size that's too small will lead to a
runtime error, not to undefined behavior.
Convert the description of PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF and
PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS to the key derivation API that takes one input
at a time rather than the old {secret,salt,label} interface.
Define a new input category "seed".
PSA_KEY_ATTRIBUTES_INIT and psa_key_attributes_init weren't declared
in the API document, only defined in our implementation, but they are
referenced in the API document.
generate_key is a more classical name. The longer name was only
introduced to avoid confusion with getting a key from a generator,
which is key derivation, but we no longer use the generator
terminology so this reason no longer applies.

“Tampering detected” was misleading because in the real world it can
also arise due to a software bug. “Corruption detected” is neutral and
more precisely reflects what can trigger the error.

Move DSA-related key types and algorithms to the
implementation-specific header file. Not that we actually implement
DSA, but with domain parameters, we should be able to.
Parametrize finite-field Diffie-Hellman key types with a DH group
identifier, in the same way elliptic curve keys are parametrized with
an EC curve identifier.
Define the DH groups from the TLS registry (these are the groups from
RFC 7919).
Replicate the macro definitions and the metadata tests from elliptic
curve identifiers to DH group identifiers.
Define PSA_DH_GROUP_CUSTOM as an implementation-specific extension for
which domain parameters are used to specify the group.
Move psa_get_key_domain_parameters() and
psa_set_key_domain_parameters() out of the official API and declare
them to be implementation-specific extensions.
Expand the documentation of psa_set_key_domain_parameters() a bit to
explain how domain parameters are used.
Remove all mentions of domain parameters from the documentation of API
functions. This leaves DH and DSA effectively unusable.
