Announcing Mbed TLS 3.6.3 and 2.28.10

by Gilles Peskine

Dear Mbed TLS users, The next release of Mbed TLS (3.6.3 and 2.28.10) is scheduled on Monday 2025-03-24. It will include a security fix for a vulnerability with a high impact to affected applications. Due to the nature of the vulnerability, which involves an insecure default in current versions of Mbed TLS, fixing it may require a small change in application code. We will provide instructions in the release notes. Without this change, affected applications will fail at runtime with Mbed TLS 3.6.3 or 2.28.10. Applications that are currently secure will generally not require any change. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Mbed TLS 4.0/TF-PSA Crypto 1.0 release timeline

by Janos Follath

Dear Mbed TLS and PSA Crypto users, We would like to update you on the release timeline for Mbed TLS 4.0/TF-PSACrypto1.0 release. As a reminder, the key objectives of the release are a separate TF-PSA Crypto repo., PSA Crypto becoming the de facto Crypto API and Mbed TLS using PSA Crypto APIs as the crypto API by default. While TF-PSA Crypto repository is now available, the remaining effort to be ready for the release is more than we originally planned for. Based on remaining effort estimates, we plan to make Mbed TLS 4.0-Beta and TF-PSA Crypto 1.0-Beta release around end of June. The Mbed TLS 4.0, and TF-PSA Crypto 1.0 release is expected around end of September. We don’t expect users to integrate the Beta release. Beta is aimed to pipeclean the separate Mbed TLS and TF-PSA Crypto release process and get any early feedback. The release in September is expected to be integrated by users to their projects. We wanted to provide these revised release dates so that the users can plan accordingly. In the meantime, bug fixes and security fixes will continue to be provided via. Mbed TLS 3.6.x LTS releases. Thanks, Mbed TLS/PSA Crypto Maintainers.

TF-PSA-Crypto

by Janos Follath

Dear Mbed TLS users, Mbed TLS has contained the reference implementation of the PSA Crypto API since the early days of the standard. This implementation was experimental at first, but over years of development it reached maturity, and the experimental status was removed three years ago (in version 3.6.1.). Shortly after that, in 2022, the TF-PSA-Crypto<https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/TF-PSA-Crypto> repository was created just for the PSA Crypto API implementation to make it more accessible for users only interested in that. This repository was only a mirror of the main one and the development of the PSA Crypto API implementation remained integral part of Mbed TLS. In the background, work has been started to make this repository the place where the development of the PSA Crypto API reference implementation happens. This work has finally been completed and from now on TF-PSA-Crypto<https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/TF-PSA-Crypto> is ready to receive contributions, bug reports and enhancement requests. TF-PSA-Crypto<https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/TF-PSA-Crypto> will now be the development repository for the PSA Crypto reference implementation. Mbed TLS will continue to rely on TF-PSA-Crypto<https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/TF-PSA-Crypto> and will be using it as a submodule. Many thanks, Janos Follath Mbed TLS developer

Major changes in Mbed TLS 4.0

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, Following consultations with the community and internal discussions among the Mbed TLS maintenance team, we can now present the major changes that will happen in the next major version of Mbed TLS. Our plan remains to release in the second quarter of 2025. The next major version will focus on two things: 1. The cryptography library will be a separate product called TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0. The X.509 and TLS library will be called Mbed TLS 4.0, and will rely on TF-PSA-Crypto for all cryptographic functionality. 2. This release completes the migration of cryptography APIs from classic mbedtls APIs to PSA APIs. Please find more information below about what this means in practice. What follows are just headlines, not an exhaustive list of changes. We expect many small changes that do not affect major functionality. Please note that the changes presented here are our current plan. We may revise it based on new inputs, new insights or unexpected hurdles. You can follow the advancement of the design, planning and development of the next release on the 4.0+1.0 planning board at https://github.com/orgs/Mbed-TLS/projects/15/views/1 . Removal of legacy APIs The following low-level application interfaces will no longer be present in the API of TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0 and Mbed TLS 4.0: * Hashes: hkdf.h, md5.h, ripemd160.h, sha1.h, sha3.h, sha256.h, sha512.h; * Random generation: ctr_drbg.h, hmac_drbg.h, entropy.h; * Ciphers and modes: aes.h, aria.h, camellia.h, chacha20.h, chachapoly.h, cipher.h, cmac.h, gcm.h, poly1305.h; * Private key encryption mechanisms: pkcs5.h, pkcs12.h. * Asymmetric cryptography: bignum.h, dhm.h, ecdh.h, ecdsa.h, ecjpake.h, ecp.h, rsa.h. The cryptographic mechanisms remain present, but they will only be accessible via the PSA API (psa_xxx functions introduced gradually starting with Mbed TLS 2.17). If you maintain code that uses these interfaces, you can already start migrating it today, since almost all PSA interfaces are available in the mbedtls-3.6 long-time support branch (and many even in 2.28 LTS). Please consult the PSA transition guide https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/mbedtls-3.6/docs/psa-transition.md for guidance. Some non-PSA crypto interfaces will still be present in TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0: * pk.h will remain with some changes, mainly to provide an interface to key parsing and formatting which does not have a PSA equivalent yet. * md.h will remain as a thin layer over PSA hash functions (not HMAC) to ease the transition. * nist_kw.h will remain because it does not have a PSA equivalent yet. Removal of legacy integration interfaces TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0 and Mbed TLS 4.0 will no longer support MBEDTLS_xxx_ALT replacement of functions and modules. Use PSA transparent drivers instead. TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0 and Mbed TLS 4.0 will no longer support MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C. Use PSA opaque drivers instead. TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0 and Mbed TLS 4.0 will no longer have the mbedtls/entropy.h interface to configure entropy sources. This will be replaced by PSA random drivers. In addition, we are planning to rework the platform abstraction layer (MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_xxx configuration options). More details will be available in the coming months. Removal of legacy mechanisms The following cryptographic mechanisms are planned to be removed in TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0 and Mbed TLS 4.0: * DES (including 3DES). * PKCS#1v1.5 encryption/decryption (RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5). (OAEP, PSS, and PKCS#1v1.5 signature are staying.) * Finite-field Diffie-Hellman with custom groups. (RFC 7919 groups remain supported.) * Elliptic curves of size 225 bits or less. The following cipher suites are planned to be removed from (D)TLS 1.2 in Mbed TLS 4.0: * TLS_RSA_* (including TLS_RSA_PSK_*), i.e. cipher suites using RSA decryption. (RSA signatures, i.e. TLS_ECDHE_RSA_*, are staying.) * TLS_ECDH_*, i.e. cipher suites using static ECDH. (Ephemeral ECDH, i.e. TLS_ECDHE_*, is staying.) * TLS_DHE_*, i.e. cipher suites using finite-field Diffie-Hellman. (Ephemeral ECDH, i.e. TLS_ECDHE_*, is staying.) * TLS_*CBC*, i.e. all cipher suites using CBC. Non-functional changes Due to the separation into two separate products (TF-PSA-Crypto and Mbed TLS), there will be major changes to the directory structure and to the build system. We plan to use CMake as the primary build system. Since TF-PSA-Crypto is a new product, identifiers that are not PSA interfaces (such as optimisation options and platform interfaces) will be renamed with a new prefix. Best regards, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer

Requests for feedback about Mbed TLS 4: summary

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, In the past few weeks, we have sent a number of requests for feedback on the mbed-tls mailing list about the next major release of Mbed TLS (TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0 + Mbed TLS 4.0). Most are about features that we may remove because we think they are not used much and are not worth maintaining. This message is a summary of the requests. If you have concerns about any of these topics, please reply on the GitHub issue (preferred), or on the mbed-tls mailing list, or by private email. (If you reply privately, we will anonymize before sharing outside Arm.) Please reply before 31 July so that we have time to plan 4.0 preparation. While we won't ignore later replies, they will be harder to accommodate.

The road towards Mbed TLS 4.0

by Nathan Sircombe

Dear Mbed TLS users, We recently announced the release of Mbed TLS 3.6.0, starting the 3.6 long-term support branch. We intend for this to be the last 3.x feature release. Mbed TLS 3.6.x will as usual receive bug fixes (including security improvements), but no new features. This will allow the Mbed TLS team to focus on preparing the next major release, Mbed TLS 4.0, planned for 2025 (expect further updates when the timeline becomes more precise). The main focus of Mbed TLS 4.0 is to complete the migration to PSA crypto APIs. This means that most mbedtls_xxx cryptography APIs will be removed. We expect mbedtls_x509 and mbedtls_ssl to change in relatively minor, but sometimes incompatible ways. Alongside this technical change, the crypto APIs will be published as a separate product, TF-PSA-Crypto<https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/TF-PSA-Crypto> (very early preview so far), while the X.509 and TLS libraries will continue to be called Mbed TLS. The work on 4.0 will happen on the development branch in the mbedtls repository, so you can expect more instability than usual on that branch. The mbedtls-3.6<https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/mbedtls-3.6> branch is available if you want the latest patches on Mbed TLS 3.6 LTS. As usual, you can see our high-level plans in the roadmap<https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/project/roadmap/>, and in more detail on GitHub<https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues>. Look for issues labeled api-break<https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aa…> (note that we haven't filed issues on all topics yet). We will launch some consultations on the mbed-tls mailing list<https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/mailman3/lists/mbed-tls.lists.trustedfirm…> soon, to gather community input on some topics. Many Thanks, Nathan Sircombe (On behalf of the Mbed TLS development team)

Mbed TLS license change

by Dave Rodgman

Hi Mbed TLS users, We are planning to change the license for Mbed TLS shortly, from Apache 2.0 to a dual license Apache 2.0 / GPLv2-0-or-later license. This will allow GPL-licensed projects to take Mbed TLS under a GPL license. Projects which currently take Mbed TLS under an Apache 2.0 license may continue to do so, and therefore should not be affected by this change. The inbound license, under which we accept contributions, is already a dual-license. There is therefore no impact for contributors, and no impact on PRs that are currently in review, or those that have previously been integrated into the library. We hope that this will enable more projects to make use of Mbed TLS. Dave Rodgman

Coding style change in Mbed TLS

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, You are concerned if: you contribute to Mbed TLS, or you maintain local patches to Mbed TLS. You are not concerned if: you just use Mbed TLS. We are going to change the C coding style in Mbed TLS. The new style is mostly what you'd find in The C Programming Language, 2nd edition, by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie (K&R2). The main changes compared to the current style are: * Spaces outside parentheses, not inside. No space in f(x). * Opening braces on the same line as if(), for(), etc., but on a separate line for functions. Indentation remains 4 spaces. The recommended maximum line length remains 80 columns. There are a few deviations from K&R2, documentation will be available shortly. The new code style will be enforced by the CI testing. This means that style that's rejected by the tool will not be merged, full stop. This also means that sometimes we'll have code that looks a bit less good to humans because the tool insists on it. We're doing this to avoid wasting reviewers' and contributors' time with style violations in code review. The tool we're using is uncrustify<https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify>. You can see how your code will look like by installing uncrustify 0.75.1 and running scripts/code_style.py from mbedtls-3.3.0 or mbedtls-2.28.2. There are previews of the rewritten branches at https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/features/new-code-style/development and https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/features/new-code-style/mbedtls-2.… (updated every few days until the real branches are rewritten). If you're now starting work on a new feature or bugfix, it will probably be easier to start from those branches, and do an easy rebase once they become official. If you've been working on a branch, we will provide a script to rebase the branch and rewrite it to the new style commit by commit. You'll need to have uncrustify 0.75.1. Concretely, when we change the code style: * If you've started to work on a branch but review has not started yet, we'll ask you to adapt your branch to the new code style. * If your work is under review, you'll need to adapt your branch to the new code style before it can be merged. Rebasing a branch is disruptive for reviews, so please synchronize with the reviewers to decide on a good time. We plan to do the switch during the first week of January 2023.

Configure server to use the correct cipher

by Jordi Enguídanos

Hello, This is my first message to this list. I'm also new to mbedTLS and TLS in general, apologies in advance if I make any mistakes with my questions. I have installed mbedTLS on a STM32H7 with CMSIS/Keil, using the Network module and the mbedTLS pack (v2.6.0) <https://www.keil.com/pack/doc/mbedTLS/html/index.html>. I have created a server on the MCU, and as a client I am using a desktop application written with Nodejs. Client and server communicate via ethernet interface and I manage to transmit data between them. My priority is to develop the server, not so much the client. I have a specific requirement to use the cipher suite “TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256”. As far as I understand, the client must show a list of cipher suites to the server, and the server chooses according to its priority. The priority is set with the macro “MBEDTLS_SSL_CIPHERSUITES” When inspecting the communication with *WireShark *I see that among the list sent by the client there is the cipher I need: “TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (0xc02b)” On the other hand in my mbedTLS_config.h file I have activated the following macro: #define MBEDTLS_SSL_CIPHERSUITES MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 When the client connects an error occurs in the handshake, the method “mbedtls_ssl_handshake()” returns the return code -0x7380 (MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_NO_CIPHER_CHOSEN). If I comment the macro “MBEDTLS_SSL_CIPHERSUITES” the handshake method does not return error and works correctly, but the cipher I am looking for is not used, but “TLS-ECDHE-RSA-WITH-AES-256-GCM-SHA384”. Maybe I am forgetting some configuration macro to be able to use the mentioned cipher? Any idea? -- Jordi Enguídanos Naranjo

Mbed TLS GitHub migration

by Dave Rodgman

Hi all, Please note that in the next couple of weeks, we will migrate Mbed TLS to a new GitHub organisation. Your existing scripts, links etc for accessing Mbed TLS on GitHub should not be affected. This will change the url from https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls to https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls . GitHub will redirect any accesses to the old URL for the foreseeable future, but we would recommend updating your links once the migration is complete. All of the Mbed TLS repositories will migrate to this new organisation, i.e.: mbedtls mbedtls-docs mbedtls-test Thanks Dave Rodgman

ssl_server2 failed with mbedtls_ssl_handshake returned error -30976

by B Mahesh

Hi , *Problem description :* Trying to run example https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/blob/master/programs/ssl/ssl_server2.c . Updated ssl_server2 port to listen on 7777 for incoming client request ,ssl_server2 will be waiting for remote connection continuously. There was no client request for connection on this port, but still server is getting some spurious connection request and goes for handshake and fails with below error code. Error code: mbedtls_ssl_handshake returned error -30976 *Steps to reproduce: =============* 1. start ssl_server2 program 2. Monitor for ssl_server2 connection waiting , observe ssl_server2 will accept spurious connection request and goes for handshake and fails with above mentioned error code. *Expected behavior:* ssl_server2 wait for remote connection infinitely and connect to valid client request and perform handshake every time. *Actual behavior:* Occasionally ssl_server2 will accept spurious connection request and goes for handshake and fails with below error code. Error code: mbedtls_ssl_handshake returned error -30976 on ssl_server2 *Analysis:* As per below logs what we understand is ssl_server2 will accept spurious connection request and goes for handshake and fails with error code -30796 ,MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_BAD_HS_CLIENT_HELLO on ssl_server2 side . Can you please help us to understand this behavior? What could be the reason for ssl_server2 to connect to a spurious connection request?, as mentioned above there was no client request for connection on this ssl_server2 port( 7777) . We have tried this on other SERVER_PORT as well . *Logs Snippet:* *==========* . Seeding the random number generator... ok . Loading the CA root certificate ... ok (0 skipped) . Loading the server cert. and key... ok . Bind on tcp://*:7777/ ... ok . Setting up the SSL/TLS structure... ok . Waiting for a remote connection ...ok .

Mbed TLS long term support release plans

by Dave Rodgman

Hi, Mbed TLS 2.16 LTS is approaching the end of its support period – it was originally announced that it would be maintained for at least 3 years up until the end of 2021 – and currently there is no other LTS branch. To ensure that there is no period of time without a supported LTS branch, we plan to release 2.28 LTS in the near future (which will have the usual 3 year support period). We will continue supporting 2.16 LTS until this is available. The expectation is that as 2.28 will be API-compatible with 2.16, users of 2.16 LTS will be able to upgrade to 2.28 very easily. Progress towards 2.28 LTS can be followed here: https://github.com/orgs/ARMmbed/projects/18#column-15836286 Dave Rodgman

Mbed TLS 3.0 branch transition

by Dave Rodgman

Hi, Today we are switching our branches around, so that the development branch focuses on Mbed TLS 3.0, to be released mid-year. This will include API-breaking changes. 2.x development work will continue on the development_2.x branch. After merging development_3.0 onto development, the development_3.0 branch will be removed. There is no change to the process for submitting PRs: new PRs should continue to target development, with backports to 2.x and 2.16 as needed. (The exception would be a bug-fix that only affects older branches, which would only need ports to the affected branches and not to development). As part of the 3.0 work, we are looking at various things that can be removed from the library. For some of these, we’ve notified the mailing list – please let us know in the next week if you have a good reason for retaining the feature in question. - Remove support for TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and DTLS 1.0 https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4286 - Remove support for the "Truncated HMAC" (D)TLS extension https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4341 - Remove support for 3DES ciphersuites in (D)TLS https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4367 - Remove support for RC4, Blowfish, XTEA, MD2 and MD4 https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4084 - Remove support for pre-v3 X.509 certificates with extensions https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4386 - Remove the RSA key mutex https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4124 - Remove MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4313 - 3.0 and 2.x :- Minimum development environment: is it OK to require Python >= 3.6 and/or CMake >= 3.5.2? https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/mbed-tls/2021-March/000319.html Dave Rodgman

Mbed TLS 3.0 branching

by Dave Rodgman

Hello Mbed TLS users, As previously announced, we are going to switch the focus of Mbed TLS development onto the upcoming 3.0 release. * We have created the development_2.x branch, currently aligned with the tip of development * For the next two weeks, we will keep development and development_2.x in sync (daily) * On April 22, we will merge development_3.0 into development, and remove development_3.0 This means that after April 22: * development will contain API-breaking changes * new features will not normally be back-ported to development_2.x (unless there is a compelling reason to do so) * relevant bugfixes will be backported as normal Impact for users: * users of development should consider whether they should switch to using development_2.x * authors of PRs requiring backports may require an additional backport to development_2.x Regards Dave Rodgman

Mbed TLS releases: 2.26.0, 2.16.10 and 2.7.19

by Dave Rodgman

Hi Mbed TLS users, We have released Mbed TLS versions 2.7.19, 2.16.10 and 2.26.0. These releases of Mbed TLS address several security issues, provide bug fixes, and bring other minor changes. Full details are available in the release notes (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/releases/tag/mbedtls-2.26.0, https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/releases/tag/mbedtls-2.16.10, https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/releases/tag/mbedtls-2.7.19). We recommend all users to consider whether they are impacted, and to upgrade appropriately. Please note that there will be no further releases on the 2.7 branch, as this is now out of the three year support period. Dave Rodgman

Re: [Mbed-tls-announce] Mbed TLS 3.0 plans

by Dave Rodgman

Hello, We've now created the branch to allow Mbed TLS 3.0 development to begin. Mbed TLS 3.0 development will take place on development_3.0 in the short term. Mbed TLS 2.x development will continue on development. We'll regularly merge changes to development into development_3.0 so that they stay aligned. At the point of the release of Mbed TLS 2.26, we will rename development to become mbedtls-2.26 and rename development_3.0 to become development, so that the focus for new work becomes the upcoming Mbed TLS 3.0 release. Regards, Dave Rodgman On 17/12/2020, 10:04, "Mbed-tls-announce on behalf of Dave Rodgman via Mbed-tls-announce" <mbed-tls-announce-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org on behalf of Mbed-tls-announce(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> wrote: Hello, We are planning to release Mbed TLS 3.0 around June 2021, alongside an LTS release of Mbed TLS 2.x. Our major version numbers indicate API breaking changes, and this is no exception: Mbed TLS 3.0 will have changes that make it incompatible with 2.x (as an obvious example, functions that are deprecated in 2.x will be removed). In setting a near-term release date, we have chosen some key areas that we want to focus on for 3.0. Some other API-breaking items (i.e., those requiring significant design time) won't make the cut and we will hold those back for a future major version, in order to have time to get them right. The main focus for 3.0 will be reduction in API surface, and changes that are low-impact for almost everyone. Work towards 3.0 will start in late January, on the development branch which will contain a public work-in-progress view of Mbed TLS 3.0. Any work for 2.x in this timeframe will take place on a separate branch (provisionally named like "mbedtls-2.x"). During the 3.0 development period, bug fixes and security fixes will continue to be a priority, but we will have slightly less capacity for other features. While 3.0 is in development, any new features will by default be landed in 3.0 only, unless there is a strong case for back-porting to 2.x. The 2.x LTS branches will still be supported with bug fixes and security fixes for the normal three year lifetime (i.e., the final LTS release of 2.x in mid-2021 will be supported until mid-2024). In terms of content, we are taking a cautious approach to what we plan for 3.0. In the past we've been ambitious here and as a result, have slipped on the release date; by being cautious on feature set we can be confident about hitting the mid-year release date. We won't try to make all of the changes that would be nice-to-have; instead, we will focus on tasks that reduce maintenance, unlock other improvements in a 3.x timeframe, are still valuable if only partially completed, and can fit within this time frame. Currently we're looking at the following areas for 3.0: * Reduce the public surface of the API * Clean-up existing APIs * Changes to default options Regards Dave Rodgman -- Mbed-tls-announce mailing list Mbed-tls-announce(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/mailman/listinfo/mbed-tls-announce

Mbed TLS 2.7 end of support

by Dave Rodgman

This is a notice that Mbed TLS 2.7 will no longer be supported or maintained after February 5th 2021. Mbed TLS 2.7.0 was released on February 5th 2018 with a three year support period. The current version of Mbed TLS 2.7 is 2.7.18, which was released on December 11th 2020. There are no pending bug or security fixes, so unless new issues arise during the next month, there will not be another release of 2.7. We do not plan to merge any non-critical backports to 2.7 in the next month. We recommend that where practical, users upgrade to either 2.16, which will be supported until the end of 2021, or to the development branch, which will be released as an LTS in mid 2021, with an expected support period until mid 2024.

The main focus for 3.0 will be reduction in API surface, and changes that are low-impact for almost everyone. Work towards 3.0 will start in late January, on the development branch which will contain a public work-in-progress view of Mbed TLS 3.0. Any work for 2.x in this timeframe will take place on a separate branch (provisionally named like "mbedtls-2.x"). During the 3.0 development period, bug fixes and security fixes will continue to be a priority, but we will have slightly less capacity for other features. While 3.0 is in development, any new features will by default be landed in 3.0 only, unless there is a strong case for back-porting to 2.x. The 2.x LTS branches will still be supported with bug fixes and security fixes for the normal three year lifetime (i.e., the final LTS release of 2.x in mid-2021 will be supported until mid-2024). In terms of content, we are taking a cautious approach to what we plan for 3.0. In the past we've been ambitious here and as a result, have slipped on the release date; by being cautious on feature set we can be confident about hitting the mid-year release date. We won't try to make all of the changes that would be nice-to-have; instead, we will focus on tasks that reduce maintenance, unlock other improvements in a 3.x timeframe, are still valuable if only partially completed, and can fit within this time frame. Currently we're looking at the following areas for 3.0: * Reduce the public surface of the API * Clean-up existing APIs * Changes to default options Regards Dave Rodgman

Latest release link on github

by Janos Follath

Mbed TLS version 2.24.0, 2.16.8 and 2.7.17 have been released recently. Version 2.7.17 is incorrectly marked as the latest release by github. Since this happens automatically based on the commit creation dates, this can’t be fixed until the next release. We have extended the release notes of 2.7.17 to warn about this and changed the download links on the website. We would like to confirm that version 2.24.0 is the latest release and the other two are the patch releases for the 2.16 and 2.7 long term support branches. My apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for your support! Best regards, Janos (On behalf of the Mbed TLS team)

Force push on the master branch

by Janos Follath

Hi All, The master branch used to track the latest development release. This changed in early 2019 after the 2.16 LTS branch was released. Around this time the cryptography library of Mbed TLS was moved to a separate repository and since then it was used as a submodule. This was one of the main reasons behind the decision to keep master pointing to the 2.16 LTS releases. Recently we have merged the cryptography library back into Mbed TLS. We don't have any reasons any more to keep master tracking the 2.16 LTS release. Therefore we intend to update master to the latest development release. This will happen on 3rd August. The update will involve a force push, which can be disruptive to those users who take Mbed TLS from master. We would like to give such users enough time to adapt to this change. If you are relying on the master branch in a way that this force push affects you, please let us know on the developer mailing list<https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/mailman/listinfo/mbed-tls> and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. Thanks and regards, Janos (on behalf of the Mbed TLS maintainer team)

New TrustedFirmware.org security incident process is now live

by Dan Handley

Hi all The new TrustedFirmware.org security incident process is now live. This process is described here: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/security_center/repor… Initially the process will be used for the following projects: TF-A, TF-M, OP-TEE and Mbed TLS. The security documentation for each project will be updated soon to reflect this change. If you are part of an organization that believes it should receive security vulnerability information before it is made public then please ask your relevant colleagues to register as Trusted Stakeholders as described here: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/security_center/trust… Note we prefer individuals in each organization to coordinate their registration requests with each other and to provide us with an email alias managed by your organization instead of us managing a long list of individual addresses. Best regards Dan. (on behalf of the TrustedFirmware.org security team)
