Hello, To strengthen Mbed TLS against accidental misuse, we're going to enforce a minimum size for RSA key generation. Currently the minimum is 128 bits, just to avoid some edge cases in the implementation. So for example, if you want a 2048-bit key but accidentally pass a number of bytes, the library will happily generate a 256-bit key. We want to prevent this scenario. What should the minimum be? If we make the minimum 2048 bits, will this be a problem? We will not make the minimum any higher. But we're considering enforcing only a minimum 1024 bits, which is over the record from public breaks and largely resolves the risk of bits/bytes confusion. Should we also enforce a minimum (perhaps lower) in the 2.28 long-time support branch? If you're using Mbed TLS to generate small RSA keys, please let us know on the mailing list, on GitHub at https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/7556, or by private email. Best regards, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer

Troubles with server certificate verification

by François Legal

Hello, using mbed TLS pavkaged with esp32 toolchain, for doing eap-tls with server certificate verification using CA cert. Mbed TLS rejects certificate in mbedtls_x509_crt_check_key_usage (x509_crt.c), because usage_may variable is 0. usage is set by mbedtls_ssl_check_cert_usage (ssl_tls.c) to MBEDTLS_X509_KU_DIGITAL_SIGNATURE because my keys are ECDHE-ECDSA. Is this the expected behaviour ? Thanks in advance François

Help with unexpected generic_sum result

by joe＠polka.cat

Hello, I was working on packaging up mbedtls for [tea, a new package manager](https://tea.xyz/) and ran into an error validating the built products. I was hoping maybe someone more knowledgeable could take a quick look. I followed the homebrew formula here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/af8e7e97432944a65c0f985132a7… Here's the PR for adding it to tea: https://github.com/teaxyz/pantry/pull/1822 For some reason I'm not getting the expected checksum from `generic_sum`. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! -Joe
