If psa_key_agreement_ecdh fails, there may be output that leaks
sensitive information in the output buffer. Zeroize it.
If this is due to an underlying failure in the ECDH implementation, it
is currently not an issue since both the traditional Mbed TLS/Crypto
implementation and Everest only write to the output buffer once every
intermediate step has succeeded, but zeroizing is more robust. If this
is because the recently added key size check fails, a leak could be a
serious issue.
All key types now have an encoding on 32 bits where the bottom 16 bits
are zero. Change to using 16 bits only.
Keep 32 bits for key types in storage, but move the significant
half-word from the top to the bottom.
Likewise, change EC curve and DH group families from 32 bits out of
which the top 8 and bottom 16 bits are zero, to 8 bits only.
Reorder psa_core_key_attributes_t to avoid padding.
Remove the values of curve encodings that are based on the TLS registry
and include the curve size, keeping only the new encoding that merely
encodes a curve family in 8 bits.
Keep the old constant names as aliases for the new values and
deprecate the old names.
Define constants for ECC curve families and DH group families. These
constants have 0x0000 in the lower 16 bits of the key type.
Support these constants in the implementation and in the PSA metadata
tests.
Switch the slot management and secure element driver HAL tests to the
new curve encodings. This requires SE driver code to become slightly
more clever when figuring out the bit-size of an imported EC key since
it now needs to take the data size into account.
Switch some documentation to the new encodings.
Remove the macro PSA_ECC_CURVE_BITS which can no longer be implemented.
Change the representation of psa_ecc_curve_t and psa_dh_group_t from
the IETF 16-bit encoding to a custom 24-bit encoding where the upper 8
bits represent a curve family and the lower 16 bits are the key size
in bits. Families are based on naming and mathematical similarity,
with sufficiently precise families that no two curves in a family have
the same bit size (for example SECP-R1 and SECP-R2 are two different
families).
As a consequence, the lower 16 bits of a key type value are always
either the key size or 0.
Internally, use the corresponding function from psa_crypto.c instead.
Externally, this function is not used in Mbed TLS and is documented as
"may change at any time".
Don't rely on the bit size encoded in the PSA curve identifier, in
preparation for removing that.
For some inputs, the error code on EC key creation changes from
PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT to PSA_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED or vice versa.
There will be further such changes in subsequent commits.
Otherwise these values are recomputed in mbedtls_rsa_deduce_crt, which
currently suffers from side channel issues in the computation of QP (see
https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/055). By loading the pre-computed values not
only is the side channel avoided, but runtime overhead of loading RSA keys
is reduced.
Discussion in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-crypto/issues/347
If psa_mac_finish_internal fails (which can only happen due to bad
parameters or hardware problem), the error code was converted to
PSA_ERROR_INVALID_SIGNATURE if the uninitialized stack variable
actual_mac happened to contain the expected MAC. This is a minor bug
but it may be possible to leverage it as part of a longer attack path
in some scenarios.
Reported externally. Found by static analysis.
One of the error codes was already reserved, this commit just makes it
explicit. The other one is a new error code for initializing return
values in the library: `MBEDTLS_ERR_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED` should
not be returned by the library. If it is returned, then it is surely a
bug in the library or somebody is tampering with the device.
