Hashes used in RSA-PSS encoding (EMSA-PSS-ENCODE, see §9.1.1 in RFC
8017):
- H1: Hashing the message (step 2)
- H2: Hashing in the salt (step 6)
- H3: Mask generation function (step 9)
According to the standard:
- H1 and H2 MUST be done by the same hash function
- H3 is RECOMMENDED to be the same as the hash used for H1 and H2.
According to the implementation:
- H1 happens outside of the function call. It might or might not happen
and the implementation might or might not be aware of the hash used.
- H2 happens inside the function call, consistency with H1 is not
enforced and might not even be possible to detect.
- H3 is done with the same hash as H2 (with the exception of
mbedtls_rsassa_pss_verify_ext(), which takes a dedicated parameter for
the hash used in the MGF).
Issues with the documentation:
- The comments weren't always clear about the three hashes involved and
often only mentioned two of them (which two varied from function to
function).
- The documentation was giving the impression that the standard
recommends aligning H2 and H1 (which is not a recommendation but a
must).

For TLS, secp256k1 is deprecated by RFC 8422 §5.1.1. For X.509,
secp256k1 is not deprecated, but it isn't used in practice, especially
in the context of TLS where there isn't much point in having an X.509
certificate which most peers do not support. So remove it from the

TLS used to prefer larger curves, under the idea that a larger curve has a
higher security strength and is therefore harder to attack. However, brute
force attacks are not a practical concern, so this was not particularly
meaningful. If a curve is considered secure enough to be allowed, then we
might as well use it.
So order curves by resource usage. The exact definition of what this means
is purposefully left open. It may include criteria such as performance and
memory usage. Risk of side channels could be a factor as well, although it
didn't affect the current choice.
The current list happens to exactly correspond to the numbers reported by
one run of the benchmark program for "full handshake/s" on my machine.

MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE is a compromise between memory usage (growing based
on the value) and performance (faster with larger values). There are
disminishing returns as the value grows larger. Based on Manuel's benchmarks
recorded in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4127, 4 is a good
compromise point, with larger values bringing little advantage. So reduce
the default from 6 to 4.

This is necessary for the case where the public part of an EC keypair

The password stretching (using slow and/or memory hard hashes) in PAKEs
usually serves two purposes:
- Defending against server compromise impersonation attacks. J-PAKE is an
augmented PAKE and as such, stores a password-equivalent and defending
against this class of attacks is out of scope.
- Preventing offline dictionary attacks. J-PAKE is proven to be zero
knowledge and leaks no information beyond the fact if the passwords
matched and offline dictionary attack is not possible.
In summary: J-PAKE does not benefit from pasword stretching and is
unlikely to be an input. This part of the API is not necessary at this
point and can be added later.

Using memory hard functions with PAKEs is the more secure option. It

The main purpose of psa_pake_get_key_share() is to provide a more
straightforward and convenient call flow for regular PAKEs. Most PAKEs
have a single key share and need a flow like this:
op=PSA_PAKE_OPERATION_INIT;
psa_pake_setup();
psa_pake_get_key_share();
psa_pake_set_key_share();
psa_pake_get_implicit_key();
Adding psa_pake_get/set_key_share() functions cuts out the
psa_pake_data_t constants from the users vision, hiding complexity that
exists only for unrelated PAKEs that aren't relevant for the user.
This comes with the cost of the two additional API functions that we need
to maintain.
Since the current stream of work focuses on enabling J-PAKE, there are
no benefits to these functions for now.
Once algorithms that can benefit from this simplification are added,
adding back these functions can be reconsidered.

PAKE protocols make use of a range of cryptographic schemes and
primitives. Standards allow for several options to use for each of them.
They call the combination of specific algorithms cipher suites,
configurations or options.
Cipher suites are represented by a separate data type for several
reasons:
1. To allow for individual PAKE protocols to provide pre-defined cipher
suites.
2. To organise cipher suites into a unit that can be handled separately
from the operation context. The PAKE operation flow is already
complex, will be even more so when key confirmation is added.
Handling them separately should reduce the surface of the interface
the application developer needs to pay attention at any given time.
