- mbed-tls - lists.trustedfirmware.org

by Milorad Podoaba

Hello, Our devices are connecting to AWS IoT Core. Recently we had few customers with poor connection complaining that the device didn't reconnect. We are using ARM Keil MDK 8.1.0 + mbed TLS 3.6.4. On Wireshark logs we have identified 2 errors: 1. close notify from server after client hello 2. bad certificate or unknown CA from client after server hello The device was stuck on one of these errors and only a reboot would fix it. I think these 2 errors are not related. On detail analysis for the first error, we saw that the cipher suites list was missing and that was the reason for close notify from server. Looking at the TLS code saw that the list is being created only one time after reboot. So in ssl_ciphersuites.c just commented out supported_init = 1 and now seems to be good. I do not know the reason why the list was lost during runtime. For the second error, we were able to reproduce the problem quite consistently. Some logs at IoT client code showed that somehow the TLS lost the ability to parse properly the server certificates. I believe that this was some memory allocation problem, so I've configured the mbed TLS to get allocation from a separate buffer and that seems to fix the problem. This buffer has to be quite large, 56k size. Any smaller size would return memory allocation failure. Any reason why it has to be so big? Just want to know if someone had before these issues and if I can lower the buffer. Let me know if you need extra details about the problems. Thank you and regards, Milo -- MiloradPodoaba Firmware System Engineer Arrowhead Alarm Products Ltd.

PSA Key derivation driver entry points

by Ruchika Gupta

Hi All, The PSA driver interface guide describes the driver entry points for key derivation. However the implementation seems to be missing from the psa crypto core layer. Can you help update if this is something which is being worked on ? I see a lot of tickets open related for key derivation interface dating back in 2022. Are these still relevant ? Regards, Ruchika

Question about using hardware-backed parameters in ALT crypto implementations

by Massimiliano Cialdi

Hi, I’m working with Mbed TLS 2.28.x on a microcontroller that provides a built-in crypto engine. The existing *_ALT support works fine for performance, and higher-level modules correctly route their block operations through the accelerated backend. On this platform the crypto hardware can also use internal key material stored in dedicated slots. These values are not accessible as byte arrays and cannot be passed to the usual setkey_*() API. Question Is there a recommended way to configure an ALT implementation so that it can select an internal key slot instead of receiving a buffer? Or, more generally, how should an ALT backend represent a key that is not exposed to software? Any guidance on the intended design would be appreciated. Thanks!

Security backports for v2.28

by Matt Bauman

Hello all, I know that v2.28.10 is EOL, but I've been working on bringing security bug fixes to our distribution of it as part of my work in shoring up the Julia package ecosystem. I've largely leaned on the Debian security team's work thus far; they have the much harder task of supporting 2.16.9 for bullseye (security) and have done great work in bringing that version up to date through CVE-2025-52497. I've re-landed their backport patches against v2.28.10; these can be found on our build tree [1] or my fork [2]: 1. https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/tree/54c5a3e8e72899a3a778d8617f… 2. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/compare/v2.28.10...mbauman:mbedtls:v2.2… Now I'm faced with the daunting prospect of last week's CVE-2025-54764 and CVE-2025-59438. These are *much* larger changesets. Has anyone else begun tackling this? I very much appreciated the guidance that’s included in the advisory itself, but I'm guessing there may be others in our situation... and I came here looking to see if anyone had begun talking about this (or working on it) yet. Best, Matt

Question regarding mbedtls 3.6.0 conformance to IEC 62351-3:2023

by Tommaso Mancini

Hello, I am writing to you to ask if you have any available documentation you can share regarding mbedtls's conformance to IEC 62351-3:2023. For example: Do you know of any users which have implemented the library in systems that reached IEC 62351-3:2023 certification? Do you have a list of features mapped to the IEC 62351-3:2023 standard requirements? Perhaps a PICS template? Thank you in advance and apologies if this is the wrong channel for this kind of question.
