Request for Assistance with Iterative Loading and Verification of Built-in Certificates in Mbed TLS

by xiaobing wang

Dear Mbed TLS Support Team, I am currently working on a project using Mbed TLS version 3.6 on FreeRTOS, and I am encountering an issue with handling multiple CA certificates during the TLS handshake process. My device has a set of built-in certificates, and I need to try each certificate one by one to establish a successful connection to my server. However, I am facing difficulties in this process. ### System Information: - **Mbed TLS version**: 3.6 - **Operating System**: FreeRTOS - **Configuration**: Default - **Compiler and Options**: N/A (using default configuration) ### Expected Behavior: The first certificate (e.g., `cdotroot.cer`) cannot be verified by Mbed TLS, while the correct certificate should successfully establish a connection. ### Actual Behavior: Both the incorrect and correct CA certificates fail to establish a connection successfully. ### Steps to Reproduce: Here is a sample of my code: ```c static int load_and_verify_certificates(int conn_id, uint8_t *cert_buffer, size_t buffer_size) { int ret; bool connection_established = false; uint32_t cert_index = 0; while (!connection_established && cert_index < MAX_CERT_COUNT) { size_t cert_size = buffer_size; // Free and initialize the certificate context mbedtls_x509_crt_free(&cacert[conn_id]); mbedtls_x509_crt_init(&cacert[conn_id]); // Load the built-in certificate ret = try_built_in_certificate(cert_buffer, &cert_size, cert_index); if (ret == CERT_ERR_INDEX_OUT_OF_RANGE) { break; } if (ret != CERT_SUCCESS) { cert_index++; continue; } // Parse the certificate cert_buffer[cert_size] = '\0'; ret = mbedtls_x509_crt_parse(&cacert[conn_id], cert_buffer, cert_size + 1); if (ret < 0) { cert_index++; continue; } // Set the certificate chain mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain(&conf[conn_id], &cacert[conn_id], NULL); // Perform the TLS handshake ret = mbedtls_ssl_handshake(&ssl[conn_id]); if (ret == 0) { uint32_t flags = mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result(&ssl[conn_id]); if (flags == 0) { connection_established = true; // Cache the certificate cache_certificate(cert_buffer, cert_size, cert_index); break; } } else { LOGD("Failed to perform handshake with certificate index %d, error: -0x%x\n", cert_index, -ret); } // Reset the SSL session ret = mbedtls_ssl_session_reset(&ssl[conn_id]); if (ret != 0) { LOGD("Failed to reset SSL session, error: -0x%x\n", -ret); return ret; } cert_index++; } return connection_established ? 0 : -1; } ``` ### Additional Information: Here are the logs: ``` Reading certificate 'cdotroot.cer' at address 0x08100650, size: 1348 Failed to perform handshake with certificate index 0, error: -0x2700 Reading certificate 'digicertroot.cer' at address 0x08100B94, size: 1360 Failed to perform handshake with certificate index 1, error: -0x7300 ... ``` I suspect that the issue may be related to the limited RAM space available on my device. I am looking for guidance on how to properly iterate through and verify the built-in certificates within these constraints. Any suggestions or best practices for handling multiple certificates in such an environment would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.

How to use a different mbedtls_config.h file?

by Alexander Slatina

Hello, I described an issue I have here: https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/9867 During compilation it compiles with the wrong mbedtls_config.h even though I set up this part in my CMakeLists.txt: #MbedTLS default START # 1. MbedTLS custom config setup set(MBEDTLS_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/mbedtls) set(MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/mbedtls_config.h") add_compile_definitions( MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE="${MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE}" MBEDTLS_USER_CONFIG_FILE="${MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE}" ) set(ENABLE_TESTING OFF CACHE BOOL "Disable mbedtls testing" FORCE) set(ENABLE_PROGRAMS OFF CACHE BOOL "Disable mbedtls programs" FORCE) set(MBEDTLS_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/mbedtls) # Add mbedtls build add_subdirectory(${MBEDTLS_DIR}) #MbedTLS END There’s more information on the GitHub link. Thank you in advance. Alex

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

advice on mbedtls_ssl_context change between v2.16.1 and 3.6.2

by Daniel Webb

Hi, Can you give me a little advice on how v3 works? I've updated our mbed library from 2.16.1 to 3.6.2 which was mostly a very smooth experience, thanks. The one question in my mind relates to making p_bio private in mbedtls_ssl_context *I used to free it before calling mbedtls_ssl_free - is it ok to skip this now? ie:* //mbedtls_net_free((mbedtls_net_context *) m_ssl.p_bio); mbedtls_ssl_free(&m_ssl); *I also used to poll it before calling mbedtls_ssl_close_notify - is ok to skip this now? ie:* //if(mbedtls_net_poll((mbedtls_net_context *) m_ssl.p_bio, MBEDTLS_NET_POLL_WRITE, 0) < 0) // return; int ret; while((ret = mbedtls_ssl_close_notify(&m_ssl)) < 0) { if(ret != MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ && ret != MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_WRITE) return; } It all seems to run just fine like this, but I could really do with some confidence boosting validation of my cavalier commenting. Thank you Daniel

Integrating Mbed TLS with LWIP

by Bas Prins

Dear Mbed TLS team, I am trying to integrate Mbed TLS in our platform: - nxp imx rt 1024 CPU (arm based) - FreeRTOS (10.6) - Lwip (2.2) - Mbed TLS (3.6.2) I am using the LWIP port to Mbed TLS and managed to create an client configuration by supplying a google certificate which I created as follows: openssl s_client -showcerts -connect www.google.com:443 </dev/null 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -outform PEM > google_root_ca.pem PS: using the true random number generator in our CPU as the entropy source for Mbed TLS. I ran into some issues which I managed to resolve by adding another option in Mbed TLS (found this on a forum which solved the problem): #define MBEDTLS_RSA_C /* required for google's root CA */ #define MBEDTLS_PKCS1_V21 /* required for RSA */ Next I connected our http client to use the TLS configuration and gave it a first spin by trying to send a HTTP GET request to google.com. The TLS handshake failed. I enabled logging in the hope this would give me a direction, but I can't see where things go wrong (until the obvious error -0x7780 (MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_FATAL_ALERT_MESSAGE)). Can somebody see what goes wrong on the client side, which results in the server deciding to fail the request? Attached the log and will paste it here in the email. ====================== [2024-12-11 09:08:28] 2024-12-10 12:53:35.612 [Info ] [Http] GET from google.com:443 - / [2024-12-11 09:08:28] 2024-12-10 12:53:35.630 [Debug] [Http] 4 - /home/dev/app/thirdparty/mbedtls/library/ssl_tls.c(1327): The SSL configuration is tls12 only.

C448 according RFC7748?

by Tom Strolch

Hello all, I want to use mbedtls-functions for "Shared Secret" according ECDH with C448. First I want to check the test vectors mentioned in RFC7748 (chapter 6.2). But it fails in function mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared(...) with return value -0x4C80 MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_INVALID_KEY (please see code below) But up to now I can't find the root cause. Is there a similar example available?

Migrate LWIP mbed TLS port to Mbed TLS 3.6.2 (or later)

by Bas Prins

Dear Mbed TLS team, I am trying to integrate Mbed TLS in our platform: - nxp imx rt 1024 CPU (arm based) - FreeRTOS (10.6) - Lwip (2.2) - Mbed TLS (3.6.2) LWIP supports Mbed TLS when adding defines in their configuration: /* ---------- TLS ------------------------- */ #define LWIP_ALTCP 1 #define LWIP_ALTCP_TLS 1 #define LWIP_ALTCP_TLS_MBEDTLS 1 But, unfortunately this supports an older version of Mbed TLS (I believe 2.2.x). When I try to compile against the Mbed TLS 3.6.2 libraries, I get a bunch of compiler warnings / errors. Most of them are mentioned in the migration guide, but even then, I have a hard time figuring out how to resolve them "the right way". 1. Private fields The migration guide <https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/mbedtls-3.6/docs/3.0-migration-gui…> explains that most structs are now considered private. 1.1: The altcp_mbed module in LWIP relies on the *out_left* field of the *ssl context* struct. /* calculate TLS overhead part to not send it to application */ overhead = state->overhead_bytes_adjust + state->ssl_context.out_left; I am correct that this field is simply not exposed through accessor functions? I can find functions like mbedtls_ssl_get_avail, so I would expect something like mbedtls_ssl_get_bytes_to_write or something like that? 1.2: The altcp_mbed module in LWIP relies on the *start* field of the *ssl session* struct. err_t altcp_tls_set_session(struct altcp_pcb *conn, struct altcp_tls_session *session) { if (session && conn && conn->state) { altcp_mbedtls_state_t *state = (altcp_mbedtls_state_t *)conn->state; int ret = -1; * if (session->data.start)* ret = mbedtls_ssl_set_session(&state->ssl_context, &session->data); return ret < 0 ? ERR_VAL : ERR_OK; } return ERR_ARG; } I also don't know how to obtain this field "the right way". I know this is a bad idea, but it's all I got if (session->data.*private_start)* ... 2. parse key expects a RNG function This is also explained in the migration guide: *Some functions gained an RNG parameterThis affects users of the following functions: `mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv()`,`mbedtls_pk_check_pair()`, `mbedtls_pk_parse_key()`, and`mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile()`.You now need to pass a properly seeded, cryptographically secure RNG whencalling these functions. It is used for blinding, a countermeasure againstside-channel attacks.* Can you please give me some guidance here? I looked for examples in Mbed TLS repo and ended up with this (bold parts are added, using the key_app.c in your repo as leading example): * mbedtls_entropy_context entropy; mbedtls_ctr_drbg_context ctr_drbg; mbedtls_entropy_init(&entropy); mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init(&ctr_drbg); if ((ret = mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed( &ctr_drbg, mbedtls_entropy_func, &entropy, privkey, privkey_len)) != 0) { // TODO: handle error } * ret = mbedtls_pk_parse_key( conf->pkey, privkey, privkey_len, privkey_pass, privkey_pass_len, *mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random, &ctr_drbg*); 3. The altcp_mbed module in LWIP relies on mbedtls_ssl_flush_output The altcp_mbed module had an include on ssl internal. #include "mbedtls/ssl_internal.h" /* to call mbedtls_flush_output after ERR_MEM */ This header seems no longer part of the library. But the prototype of the function is now part of ssl_misc.h, but I don't think I am supposed to rely on this header either. I have a couple of options: - ignore the compiler warning /home/dev_container/app/thirdparty/lwip/src/apps/altcp_tls/altcp_tls_mbedtls.c:535:5: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mbedtls_ssl_flush_output'; did you mean 'mbedtls_ssl_tls_prf'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] 535 | mbedtls_ssl_flush_output(&state->ssl_context); - copy paste the declaration in the LWIP source file - Or.... don't flush any buffers managed by Mbed TLS in the first place? For the last one, I could really use your input. Can you say anything meaningful about the flush (line in bold) In the below function, Is it mandatory? Or can I trust the Mbed TLS will flush the output buffer whenever it needs to get flushed? /** Sent callback from lower connection (i.e. TCP) * This only informs the upper layer the number of ACKed bytes. * This now take care of TLS added bytes so application receive * correct ACKed bytes. */ static err_t altcp_mbedtls_lower_sent(void *arg, struct altcp_pcb *inner_conn, u16_t len) { struct altcp_pcb *conn = (struct altcp_pcb *)arg; LWIP_UNUSED_ARG(inner_conn); /* for LWIP_NOASSERT */ if (conn) { int overhead; u16_t app_len; altcp_mbedtls_state_t *state = (altcp_mbedtls_state_t *)conn->state; LWIP_ASSERT("state", state != NULL); LWIP_ASSERT("pcb mismatch", conn->inner_conn == inner_conn); /* calculate TLS overhead part to not send it to application */ mbedtls_ssl_get_bytes_avail(&state->ssl_context); overhead = state->overhead_bytes_adjust + state->ssl_context.private_out_left; if ((unsigned)overhead > len) { overhead = len; } /* remove ACKed bytes from overhead adjust counter */ state->overhead_bytes_adjust -= len; /* try to send more if we failed before (may increase overhead adjust counter) */ *mbedtls_ssl_flush_output(&state->ssl_context); // Does it make sense this LWIP port is responsible for flushing here??* /* remove calculated overhead from ACKed bytes len */ app_len = len - (u16_t)overhead; /* update application write counter and inform application */ if (app_len) { state->overhead_bytes_adjust += app_len; if (conn->sent) return conn->sent(conn->arg, conn, app_len); } } return ERR_OK; } After applying the changes I mentioned above, the software compiles against Mbed TLS. I haven't dared to run anything, I just want to enjoy this short moment where I have the feeling I achieved something before runtime errors ruin my day :). Many thanks in advance for any reply!

MbedTLS 2.5 vs MbedTLS 3.6

by Michael Khoyilar

Hi Team I am investigating the move from MbedTLS 2.25 to 3.6, however, our client uses the 2.25 currently (looks like they prefer to stay with it) and I need to provide convincing proof to move to 3.6 considering the upgrade issues that might arise. Any suggestions here that is convincing proof to do the migration to 3.6? I would appreciate your comments. Thanks Michael

Trying to integrate Mbed TLS (3.6) with LWIP (2.x)

by Bas Prins

Dear Mbed TLS team, I am at the early steps of trying to integrate Mbed TLS with LWIP for our project (imx rt 1024 NXP micro, arm M7, running FreeRTOS and LWIP). I understand the basics of TLS, but I am far from an expert. Let me first apologise for the lengthy first email. I am afraid to leave out details. Feel free to skip directly to the end marked with: ============================= My questions: ============================= Some background / translation of how I think it (should) work: From a distance, I understand that LWIP has an abstraction layer on their TCP module, which can be used to integrate Mbed TLS. In fact, LWIP already did this, all I need to do is enable some directives (LWIP_ALTCP_TLS and LWIP_ALTCP_TLS_MBEDTLS). The implemented integration assumes a somewhat older version of Mbed TLS, so I have to adjust a couple to cope with the breaking changes from Mbed TLS 2.x to Mbed TLS 3.6.2. But other than that, integrating Mbed TLS would mean: - figure out which options i want to enable in Mbed TLS - cross compile it for our arm toolchain - extend our build scripts to compile against 3 static Mbed TLS libraries - figure out how to read the CA certificates, and provide them to Mbed TLS - test and fail, and hopefully be man enough to solve the challenges ahead... I haven't achieved much yet, but at least I managed to compile Mbed TLS with our toolchain and recompile our project against the linked libraries. This steps fails though, I get a bunch of linker errors : [100%] Linking CXX executable app.axf /opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/13.2.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld:

`mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len' All except the last one are coming from Mbed TSL internally, so I *guess* this means I am missing options? Or maybe I am still having too many? The last one is called from the LWIP integration of Mbed TLS, and I could "sweep this under the carpet" by disabling "MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_FRAGMENT_LENGTH". But I haven't looked further in what I cause if I do not support "RFC 6066 max_fragment_length extension in SSL" My Mbed TLS configuration: I followed the suggestion of your documentation, and went for a minimal example configuration. Pure on intuition, I went for "config-ccm-psk-dtls1_2.h". Because the file name suggests it brings TSL 1.2 which is basically all I need. I think. I did had to make the following changes in order to be able to compile it: 1. Comment out two defines in order to get rid of module requiring "windows or unix" //#define MBEDTLS_NET_C //#define MBEDTLS_TIMING_C 2. Add a define, again to get rid of the compiler error "require windows or unix" #define MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY After applying these small changes to the include/mbedtls/mbedtls_config.h I was able to cross compile (and link) Mbed TLS with arm-none-eabi toolchain. Once I adjusted the build scripts to lnk against the Mbed TLS static libraries, I finally ended up with the earlier mentioned linker errors. ============================= My questions: ============================= 1. Does my starting point configuration make sense? As mentioned earlier, pure intuition made me try the "config-ccm-psk-dtls1_2.h" configuration example, which after some modifications compiled and produced 3 static libraries. but, this bit in the example header worries me a bit: * Distinguishing features: * - Optimized for small code size, low bandwidth (on an unreliable transport), * and low RAM usage. * - No asymmetric cryptography (no certificates, no Diffie-Hellman key * exchange). * - Fully modern and secure (provided the pre-shared keys are generated and * stored securely). * - Very low record overhead with CCM-8. * - Includes several optional DTLS features typically used in IoT. What does "no asymmetric cryptography" exactly mean? Isn't that the pure basis of TLS altogether? If I want to achieve HTTPS using TLS, is this a good starting point? 2. Undefined references: wrong configuration, or should I supply some of the implementations? As mentioned before, I have quite a few linking errors related to the cipher module. I tried to find answers in the documentation, but came up empty. I assume (again...) that I should be able to get rid of these linking errors by enabling more features in Mbed TLS. But I honestly get lost in #define's. And maybe it's documented somewhere, but I couldn't find it. 3. Root CA provided by me? I assume I *need* to provide at least one root CA for Mbed TLS to be able to verify the public key provided by the server, at some point, right? I would expect some callback I need to implement where such a root CA was read (in my case, i would have to read if from flash). Am I misunderstanding Mbed TLS on this aspect also? Or did I just miss the obvious spot where to Mbed TLS requests a root CA? 4. More examples available for typical microcontroller projects (FreeRTOS/LWIP)? My experience so far is: - Mbed TLS is well documented - LWIP is no longer actively maintained, and lacks documentation in general - Google finds a painful amount of LWIP/TLS integrations which are based on really old implementations of both, which does more harm than good for me - Chat GPT knows everything, even when it doesn't, which is a really great recipe to get on the wrong track... It doesn't seem rather helpful on my integration questions for Mbed TLS/LWIP. Disclaimer: could be that my lack of knowledge is causing gpt to come up with wrong answers of course... I understand that my email is (too?) long, and that the chance somebody will actually find the time to help me out is limited. I expect nothing, I hope for everything :) ANY help is more than welcome. Good references, links to official documentation I missed, or in the best case: answers to my questions/uncertainties. Many thanks in advance. Best regards, Bas
