`mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det` reuses the internal HMAC-DRBG instance to
implement blinding. The advantage of this is that the algorithm is
deterministic too, not just the resulting signature. The drawback is
that the blinding is always the same for the same key and message.
This diminishes the efficiency of blinding and leaks information about
the private key.
A function that takes external randomness fixes this weakness.

MULADDC_INIT and MULADDC_STOP are mostly empty because it is more
efficient to keep everything in registers (and that should easily be
possible). I considered a MULADDC_HUIT implementation, but could not
think of something that would be more efficient than basically 8
consecutive MULADDC_CORE. You could combine the loads and stores, but
it's probably more efficient to interleave them with arithmetic,
depending on the specific microarchitecture. NEON allows to do a
64x64->128 bit multiplication (and optional accumulation) in one
instruction, but is not great at handling carries.
According to SP800-90A, the DRBG seeding process should use a nonce
of length `security_strength / 2` bits as part of the DRBG seed. It
further notes that this nonce may be drawn from the same source of
entropy that is used for the first `security_strength` bits of the
DRBG seed. The present HMAC DRBG implementation does that, requesting
`security_strength * 3 / 2` bits of entropy from the configured entropy
source in total to form the initial part of the DRBG seed.
However, some entropy sources may have thresholds in terms of how much
entropy they can provide in a single call to their entropy gathering
function which may be exceeded by the present HMAC DRBG implementation
even if the threshold is not smaller than `security_strength` bits.
Specifically, this is the case for our own entropy module implementation
which only allows requesting at most 32 Bytes of entropy at a time
in configurations disabling SHA-512, and this leads to runtime failure
of HMAC DRBG when used with Mbed Crypto' own entropy callbacks in such
configurations.
This commit fixes this by splitting the seed entropy acquisition into
two calls, one requesting `security_strength` bits first, and another
one requesting `security_strength / 2` bits for the nonce.
Fixes#237.
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.
In psa_import_key, the key bits value was uninitialized before
calling the secure element driver import function. There is a
potential issue if the driver returns PSA_SUCCESS without setting
the key bits. This shouldn't happen, but shouldn't be discounted
either, so we initialize the key bits to an invalid issue.
Avoid an error with differing linkages being expressed for
