Building the library without entropy sources negates any and all security
provided by the library.
This option was originally requested a relatively long time ago and it
does not provide any tangible benefit for users any more.

`entropy_poll.h` is not supposed to be used by application code and
is therefore being made internal.

Although the library documentation does not guarantee that calling
mbedtls_entropy_free() twice works, it's a plausible assumption and it's
natural to write code that frees an object twice. While this is uncommon for
an entropy context, which is usually a global variable, it came up in our
own unit tests (random_twice tests in test_suite_random).
Announce this in the same changelog entry as for RSA because it's the same
bug in the two modules.

As a result, the copyright of contributors other than Arm is now
acknowledged, and the years of publishing are no longer tracked in the
source files.
Also remove the now-redundant lines declaring that the files are part of
MbedTLS.

In library source files, include "common.h", which takes care of
including "mbedtls/config.h" (or the alternative MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE)
and other things that are used throughout the library.

mbedtls_entropy_func returns up to MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes.
This is the output of a hash function and does not indicate how many
bytes of entropy went into the hash computation.
Enforce that mbedtls_entropy_func gathers a total of
MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes or more from strong sources. Weak
sources don't count for this calculation. This is complementary to the
per-source threshold mechanism.
In particular, we define system sources with a threshold of 32. But
when using SHA-512 for the entropy accumulator,
MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE = 64, so users can expect 64 bytes' worth
of entropy. Before, you only got 64 bytes of entropy if there were two
sources. Now you get 64 bytes of entropy even with a single source
with a threshold of 32.
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 _ext suffix suggests "new arguments", but the new functions have
the same arguments. Use _ret instead, to convey that the difference is
that the new functions return a value.
Conflict resolution:
* ChangeLog: put the new entries in their rightful place.
* library/x509write_crt.c: the change in development was whitespace
only, so use the one from the iotssl-1251 feature branch.
This commit renames the test-only flag MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_HAVE_STRONG to ENTROPY_HAVE_STRONG to make it more transparent
that it's an internal flag, and also to content the testscript tests/scripts/check-names.pl which previously complained
about the macro occurring in a comment in `entropy.c` without being defined in a library file.
As noted in #557, several functions use 'index' resp. 'time'
as parameter names in their declaration and/or definition, causing name
conflicts with the functions in the C standard library of the same
name some compilers warn about.
This commit renames the arguments accordingly.
The RSA key generation test needs strong entropy to succeed. This commit captures the presence of a strong entropy
source in a preprocessor flag and only runs the key generation test if that flag is set.
This change moves the calls to mbedtls_sha256_starts() and
mbedtls_sha512_starts() out of the mbedtls_entropy_init() function as
these now have return codes which need to be checked.
This patch modifies the entropy.c module to ensure that the sha256 and
sha512 contexts are correctly initialised and freed instead of skipping
these calls or simply zeroizing with memset() or mbedtls_zeroize().
This is important as the sha contexts might otherwise leak memory or
other resources, and even more so in the context of hardware
accelerators where the configuration of the device might be done in the
init and free calls.
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.
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.
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.
