Hi Frank, I'm not sure what you're looking for. Do you mean open source projects like Curl and Hiawatha that can use Mbed TLS as a cryptography provider? Those are generally using the classic API, and so can't make generic use of secure elements. I am aware of private projects using the limited features available today (for example, TLS servers can use async private key operations to put the key in an HSM — see https://tls.mbed.org/kb/how-to/ssl_async). I've used SoftHSM in the past as a way to test portable PKCS#11 client code without hardware. It did the job well. I can't speak for the quality of its cryptography since I was only using it for testing. If you're looking for a generic interface between applications and secure elements, then I would recommend PSA crypto over PKCS#11. We did try to make PSA Crypto a better PKCS#11. Obviously I'm biased :) But of course PKCS#11 is old and venerable, whereas PSA is new and the support for hardware secure elements is still a work in progress. -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer and PSA Crypto architect On 21/02/2021 17:11, Frank Bergmann via mbed-tls wrote: > Hi Gilles, > > thank you for your detailled answer. > Honestly I was in fear that your answer would look like this. ;-) > > Do you maybe know of any plans of any software project to use mbed TLS > together with a secure element? > > I asked SoftHSM because it looks much promising for our goals but they > answered that they don't have any plans to use different ssl libs. > > > cheers, > Frank > > > On 08.02.21 23:07, Gilles Peskine via mbed-tls wrote: >> Hi Frank, >> >> Support for HSM keys in Mbed TLS is a work in progress.

Hi Gábor, Yes, it is ready for review, I have added the corresponding labels. Now there is nothing else to do just to wait for the reviews.

AFter a week of debugging yesterday I was able to solve the issues on my PR, but the ABI-API failure is still on. I was told that based on my changes it is OK, I should not worry. Does this mean that my PR is ready for review or it should have disappeared by now? In the second case could someone provide me the jenkins reports and some idea where should I start searching?

Hello Guys! I know it is a newbie question, but I am not able to pass this freaking DCO test...I have used the provided commands to signoff all the commits and as I see all of them has signoff, but it still failes on one. Do you have any idea what's wrong or how could I correct it? Till now I was able to correct it, but now it seems to be bugged. Thank you! BR? Gábor

Re: [mbed-tls] Use PKCS#11 and mbed TLS

by Frank Bergmann

Hi Gilles, thank you for your detailled answer. Honestly I was in fear that your answer would look like this. ;-) Do you maybe know of any plans of any software project to use mbed TLS together with a secure element? I asked SoftHSM because it looks much promising for our goals but they answered that they don't have any plans to use different ssl libs. cheers, Frank On 08.02.21 23:07, Gilles Peskine via mbed-tls wrote: > Hi Frank, > > Support for HSM keys in Mbed TLS is a work in progress.

Re: [mbed-tls] Failures: all_sh-ubuntu-16.04-test_memory_buffer_allocator

by Gilles Peskine

Hi Gábor, To reproduce locally, the correct invocation would be tests/scripts/all.sh test_memory_buffer_allocator Specifically, the failing tests are SSL tests. To reproduce those tests, build the right configuration and run tests/ssl-opt.sh -f 'DTLS fragmenting: proxy MTU, * renego' I've posted the relevant logs on the GitHub issue. It's unusual for the memory_buffer tests to fail when memory sanitizers are passing, so I don't know what's going on. -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 16/02/2021 11:13, Gábor Tóth via mbed-tls wrote: > Hello Guys! > > I have an error related to test_memory_buffer_allocator on the server > in my PR (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/4140).

Failures: all_sh-ubuntu-16.04-test_memory_buffer_allocator

by Gábor Tóth

Hello Guys! I have an error related to test_memory_buffer_allocator on the server in my PR (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/4140). Tried to find the issue locally on both the latest Ubuntu and on version 16.04 (same as on the server), but without success. All the tests pass if I run "make test" command (of course I changed config.h based on the component in all.sh).. I have also tried: "./tests/scripts/all.sh component_test_memory_buffer_allocator", but it does not do anything, just lists some tools. Maybe I am not using it right... The memory allocation/freeing mechanism was not touched by my changes except that in the function that frees a CRT I added a small part to free the new dynamic field. Do you have any idea what's wrong with my PR, how could I solve it or find out the cause? Thank you guys! BR, Gábor

Requesting a sample code: adding two numbers using mbedtls_mpi_add_int?

by Shariful Alam

Hello, Sorry to bother with a noob question. I am trying to understand how bignum.c works. For that, I'm trying to write a program to add two numbers. Here is what I have https://pastebin.com/mbRaE5i5, I'm not sure if this is the correct approach. I use the following to compile the code, * gcc -o mpi_example mpi_example.c bignum.c* But get the following error, /tmp/ccMo7DMW.o: In function `main': mpi_example.c:(.text+0x2d): undefined reference to `mbedtls_mpi_init' mpi_example.c:(.text+0x39): undefined reference to `mbedtls_mpi_init' mpi_example.c:(.text+0x45): undefined reference to `mbedtls_mpi_init' mpi_example.c:(.text+0x6c): undefined reference to `mbedtls_mpi_add_int' mpi_example.c:(.text+0x9a): undefined reference to `mbedtls_mpi_free' mpi_example.c:(.text+0xa6): undefined reference to `mbedtls_mpi_free' mpi_example.c:(.text+0xb2): undefined reference to `mbedtls_mpi_free' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Any help what I'm doing wrong here? Or any sample code and how to compile it? Thanks, ~ Shariful
