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

Modernizing a ecdh exchange

by Dirk-Willem van Gulik

I am currently doing an ECDH exchange over MQTT (i.e. at the message layer; MQTT is fundamentally `untrusted') - with a bit of out of band work to confirm end to end integrity. That worked nicely (and interoperable with java-bouncy-castle and openssl, etc with: mbedtls_ecp_group_load( &ctx_cli.grp, MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_CURVE25519 ) mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public( &ctx_cli.grp, &ctx_cli.d, &ctx_cli.Q, mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random, &ctr_drbg) mbedtls_mpi_write_binary( &ctx_cli.Q.X, node_publicsession, 32 ) to create the keys and with mbedtls_mpi_lset( &ctx_cli.private_Qp.Z, 1 )) mbedtls_mpi_read_binary( &ctx_cli.private_Qp.X, pubencr_tmp, CURVE259919_KEYLEN)) mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared( &ctx_cli.grp, &ctx_cli.private_z, &ctx_cli.private_Qp, &ctx_cli.private_d, mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random, &ctr_drbg ) mbedtls_mpi_write_binary( &ctx_cli.private_z, sessionkey, CURVE259919_KEYLEN) to calculate the emphemeral session key. With the mbedtls_ecdh_context going increasingly private; I assume I can change the latter with: mbedtls_ecdh_calc_secret(&ctx_cli, &len_sessionkey, sessionkey, sizeof(sessionkey), mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random, &ctr_drbg) but am struggling to see how I an replace the key generation itself. Is there a similar option that does not look `into' ctx_cli ?? With kind regards, Dw. PS: actual code at https://github.com/MakerSpaceLeiden/AccesSystem/blob/master/lib-arduino/ACN…

DTLS handshake with and without hello verify request

by Ankita Hatmode

Hi Team, I am working on exploring DTLS handshake using the mbedtls-3.6.4 version on our embedded platform. I enabled the hello verify request feature and got stuck at hello verify request state on server side if I don't reset the ssl context and don't set the client transport ID. I want to know if there is any way to complete a handshake by bypassing the reset of ssl context and setting the client transport ID. Also, our environment only supports C89 constructs. I could not see inttypes.h in the mbedtls-3.6.4, is there any specific reason to remove this file? I am getting compilation errors without inttypes.h and stdint.h. Is there any macro to be enabled to support the c89 compilation in mbedtls stack? Looking forward to your response.

TLS 1.3 and brainpool curves

by Maren Konrad

Dear MbedTLS maintainers, we are already using MBedTLS, however, we recently enabled TLS 1.3 and found that our certificates doesn't work anymore, because they are brainpoolP256r1 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8734). So the question would be, if I missed any configuration to enable the usage of brainpool curves (which are working for TLS 1.2) or if there are any plans, that these are getting supported by MBedTLS 3.6.x? Best regards, Maren Konrad

TLS handshake error : unexpected eof

Hi We migrated from mbedtls 2.28 to mbedtls 3.6.2 https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/107ea89daaefb9867ea9121002fbbdf926… and we see TLS handshake fails when we use TLS 1.2 in mbedtls 3.6.2 instead of 1.3. We get below error 20E094B0FFFF0000:error:0A000126:SSL routines:ssl3_read_n:unexpected eof while reading:/usr/src/debug/openssl/3.1.0-r0/ssl/record/rec_layer_s3.c:303: # openssl s_client -connect 192.168.142.1:7001 -no_tls1_3 fails After seeing the trace we have enabled ciphers but still we see the issue. please advise, thanks.

Credential validation BEFORE first TLS handshake: the present and future of mbedtls_pk_sign/verify()

by Almut Herzog

Hi, Prior to the first TLS handshake our application is required to perform input validation of the provided credentials (from file or smart card) for this peer. One of those checks is to verify that private and public key match. We used to use mbedtls_pk_sign() with a custom mbedtls_pk_context for that. But in version 3.X mbedtls_pk_info_t was made private so mbedtls_pk_setup() with a custom mbedtls_pk_info_t whose sign_func would call into our smart card wrapper is no longer possible. Is there still a way to provide custom callback functions for signing in 3.6.4 somehow? Or any other workaround for early check of a key pair? Looking at 4.0.0-beta, also pk.h is no longer public. Will it still be possible to perform early validation of this peer's credentials prior to a first TLS handshake? How? While I am at it, it would be good to implement something that is future-proof. What else I have looked at: * mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() might be the way to go but I do not find an example of how to link a key id to a custom signature function. * mbedtls_pk_setup_rsa_alt() would be useful if our application was always using RSA. * Both functions are no longer public in 4.0 Related: Early validation of a CRL (whether it was signed by the expected CA) used to be possible with mbedtls_pk_verify_ext(). But to properly set the input parameters requires access to private members of mbedtls_x509_crl in 3.6.4 (maybe an acceptable move?) but in 4.0.0 mbedtls_pk_verify_ext() is no longer public. How perform explicit/"manual" CRL validation especially given the possibly skipped CRL validation in mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() as per the comment below? "It is your responsibility to provide up-to-date CRLs for all trusted CAs. If no CRL is provided for the CA that was used t sign the certificate, CRL verification is skipped silently..." Any future-proof ideas for this? Best regards, /Almut

imx-secure-enclave with mbedtls 2.28.9

by kavitha bk

Hi We are using mbedtls 2.28.9 and want to offload crypto operations to HSM from NXP imx-secure-enclave. is the below approach correct or please suggest alternate approaches if any? 1.Transition all apis from traditional apis to psa in modules Use PSA crypto module https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/development/docs/psa-transition.md 2. Integrate PSA module with imx-secure-enclave in our custom mbedtls 3. All modules will use custom mbedtls which will internally offload crypto operations to HSM or Do you recommend to use MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT_SUPPORT? and implement the key creation/signing/export of public key operations ? Thanks, Kavitha

How can we obtain support for the library enquiries? Does this support has a cost? 4. How is the library update? Does this update has a cost? 5. Are this library Open Source? Thanks in advance for your help! 🙂 Have a great day! Héctor J. Solís Castillo Embedded Engr I Honeywell | HTS Building Automation 990, Av.

Question about partial certificate chains

by Roman Janota

Hello, I have the following two certificate chains: server <- intermediateCA <- rootCA and client <- intermediateCA <- rootCA. Currently there are two ways the client is authenticated by the server: both the intermediateCA and rootCA certificates are configured as CAs on the server or if only intermediateCA is configured. I am using a custom verify callback set by mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify(). I would like to achieve two separate cases: 1) Make the MbedTLS' built-in pre-verify be successful, even when only the rootCA certificate is set as the server's CA. 2) Always obtain the whole certificate chain up to the root in the verify callback. For case 1) this is how our OpenSSL TLS implementation works, it is discussed here <https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/7871>. From my understanding the server should be able to build the certificate chain by inquiring the client about its certificate's issuer, etc. For case 2), whenever both rootCA and intermediateCA are configured on the server, only the chain client <- intermediateCA is received by the callback. I would like to be able to receive the chain client <- intermediateCA <- rootCA. Are these two cases achievable with mbedTLS? For reference I am using mbedTLS 3.5.2. For my server I would like to utilize both cases 1) and 2) and for the client only the case 1). Kind regards, Roman Janota

PSA Crypto API version compliance

by Zak, Kevin

Hello, I notice in 'crypto.h' of mbedTLS 3.6.3, PSA_CRYPTO_API_VERSION_MAJOR & PSA_CRYPTO_API_VERSION_MINOR show the version implemented as v1.0. Per the github page of TF-PSA-Crypto (https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/TF-PSA-Crypto/blob/development/README.md), the implementation is of v1.1. I verified that this mismatch between the README and crypto.h exists on the development branch of TF-PSA-Crypto as well. What is the correct version implemented, as of mbedTLS 3.6.3? Regards, Kevin

(no subject)

by Steve Glass

Hi, I'm trying to build the mbedtls v3.6.3 for an embedded 386 device. The build is configured as `crypto_baremetal`. In the snippet below I use the make build process with a GCC 11.2 cross toolchain that's installed in `/opt/x-tools/i386-elf but the build process ends with an error: ``` (venv) dev [ /workspaces/mbedtls ]$ make CC=/opt/x-tools/i386-elf/bin/i386-elf-gcc AR=/opt/x-tools/i386-elf/bin/i386-elf-ar make[1]: Entering directory '/workspaces/mbedtls/library' CC aes.c CC aesni.c CC aesce.c ... CC src/certs.c CC src/psa_test_wrappers.c CC src/test_helpers/ssl_helpers.c make[1]: Leaving directory '/workspaces/mbedtls/tests' make[1]: Entering directory '/workspaces/mbedtls/programs' CC aes/crypt_and_hash.c /opt/x-tools/i386-elf/lib/gcc/i386-elf/11.2.0/../../../../i386-elf/bin/ld: cannot find crt0.o: No such file or directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [Makefile:160: aes/crypt_and_hash] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/workspaces/mbedtls/programs' make: *** [Makefile:34: programs] Error 2 (venv) dev [ /workspaces/mbedtls ]$ ``` So I have two questions: This error says it fails to link find crt0.o but the output (library/libmbedcrypto.a) exists and looks ok (altho I've yet to try linking against it). Is the error message spurious or is the library it produced unusable? Do I really need a version of crt0.o to link successfully? (The same configuration builds with no errors using the host's x64 compiler toolchain - and that toolchain also doesn't have a crt0.o file). Thanks in advance!

Any plan for a Java Binding ?

by Simon Bernard

Hi, I'm the main developer of Leshan Library. This is a Java open source implementation of LWM2M protocol hosted at Eclipse Foundation. We currently use Scandium (from Californium Project) as DTLS library. This library fits our needs until now but we have some concerns about future-proofness of it (Especially, there is no plan for DTLS 1.3) and there is no support of TLS. So we explore some other way for the future. I had consider to use OpenJdk but there is a lot of missing IoT Features. I contact OpenJdk security dev and they makes me understand politely that IoT is not the priority (at least this is my understanding) Another solution we explore would be to use an mbedtls Java binding. (as mbedtls is well supported and focus IoT) There is a not official one at : https://github.com/open-coap/kotlin-mbedtls *Questions : * 1. Is there any official java binding ? 2. If no, is there any plan for that kind of binding ? 3. If no, if there is a community initiative could it be hosted by you ? Thx, Simon

PQC code from European Project QUBIP - Security Pattern

by Alberto Battistello

Hi all, I am writing in behalf of Security Pattern, a security firm specialized in embedded systems. We are a member of the QUBIP European Funded Project (https://qubip.eu), which aims at transitioning protocols, networks, and systems to Post Quantum algorithms. As a result of the project, we have integrated a set of Post Quantum algorithms in the TLS1.3 stack of the MbedTLS code (see here https://github.com/QUBIP/pq-mqtt-client-mbedtls). We have code running on STM32 Nucleo board in two versions: the former is a full software, by leveraging the crypto primitives provided in a library developed by another partner, the latter using a Secure Element emulated by FPGA connected via I2C (also developed by another partner of QUBIP). Our main work has beed dedicated to integrating the new hybrid KEM and signatures (MLKEM768-x25519 and MLDSA44-Ed25519) into the TLS stack, in order to demonstrate communication with an MQTT broker running OpenSSL. At the current stage we are about to publish the code on github with MIT license (here https://github.com/QUBIP/pq-mqtt-client-mbedtls). Meanwhile, we think the effort we made could be of help for MBedTLS development/developers. So I would like to ask if you can address me to some contact that is responsible in MbedTLS or ARM about the PQC transition or the best way to facilitate the use/integration of our work.

handshake fail with "Alert (Level: Fatal, Description: Protocol Version)"

by 扶柏成

Hi all, We have encountered a challenge while using mbedTLS 3.5.1 and would greatly appreciate the assistance of the experts. Thank you in advance for your support. I used mbedTLS 3.5.1 to connect to the server acc.connect.cpms.milence.com, and the TLS handshake failed with an Alert (Level: Fatal, Description: Protocol Version) error. Detailed information is described at this GitHub issue<https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/10141>. * We attempted to connect with the Windows EDGE browser and found through packet capture that the handshake was successful. * We were also able to successfully handshake using TLS 1.2. * When we limited the supported group to only: MBEDTLS_SSL_IANA_TLS_GROUP_SECP256R1 and used TLS 1.3, the handshake was also successful. For more details, please refer to the discussion on GitHub: Handshake fail with "Alert (Level: Fatal, Description: Protocol Version)" ・ Issue #10141 ・ Mbed-TLS/mbedtls<https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/10141>.

[Mbed-tls-announce] Announcing Mbed TLS 3.6.3 and 2.28.10

by Gilles Peskine via Mbed-tls-announce

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.

Problem during test_suite generation while cross-compiling on version 3.6.2

by Francois Mace

Hello Everybody, I am trying to migrate my cross-compilation setup from version 2.28.9 to version 3.6.2. I use a Makefile based approach for compilation. Everything seems to work fine up to the point where the compilation process reaches the test_suite data generation Gen suites/test_suite_psa_crypto_generate_key.generated.data suites/test_suite_psa_crypto_low_hash.generated.data suites/test_suite_psa_crypto_not_supported.generated.data suites/test_suite_psa_crypto_op_fail.generated.data suites/test_suite_psa_crypto_storage_format.current.data suites/test_suite_psa_crypto_storage_format.v0.data At that point it seems that the python based tools attempts to execute a temp executable (generated for my cross-compilation target ?) which fails.

Different performance from 2.6.2 to 3.6.2 for https file upload

by Stefano Tebaldi

Hello, I recently updated mbedTLS library version 2.6.2 to 3.6.2. I am using the library to add https to Mongoose web server on a STM32H753 with FreeRTOS + LWIP. 2.6.2 was generated in a IAR project using STMCubeMX. What I am noticing is that file transfer performance has gotten much worse. With version 2.6.2 it took a few minutes to transfer a file of around 33 MB, now with version 3.6.2 it takes around 15 min. What could this depend on? Attached is the configuration used for the two versions. The certificate for https is EC curve secp256r1. Thank you

[Mbed-tls-announce] Mbed TLS 4.0/TF-PSA Crypto 1.0 release timeline

by Janos Follath via Mbed-tls-announce

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. -- Mbed-tls-announce mailing list -- mbed-tls-announce(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org To unsubscribe send an email to mbed-tls-announce-leave(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org

Support for Quantum Safe Algorithms

by NAYNA JAIN

Hi MbedTLS team, I have been following up the MbedTLS roadmap from here - https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/project/roadmap/ . It talks about Post Quantum Cryptography support in future. And in the section of Long Term Plans for MbedTLS, I see the note related to PQC as "Regarding post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in particular, we do plan to wait until there are official standards: as of 2023, apart from stateful hash-based signatures, there are too many open questions about selected algorithms (choice of parameters, data formats, hybrid combinations…). This note seems to be pretty old as it refers to 2023.. So, are there any latest update on the roadmap? Is there any plan to support latest NIST standardized algorithms (ML-DSA, ML-KEM, SLH-DSA) in this year or next year. Thanks & Regards, * Nayna

Using mbedTLS for TLS&X509 with a separate PSA Crypto Implementation

by Zak, Kevin

Hello mbedtls mailing list, I'm working to modify mbedTLS (3.6.2) to use our PSA Crypto Implementation in a separate library. Our solution does not make use of PSA 'drivers' that mbedTLS refers to. I've modified makefiles to not build PSA Crypto files, and have enabled MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C & MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO. I've also defined MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_ALG_XXX for our supported algorithms. 1. Is there a good way to determine whether a given TLS/X509 configuration would require a certain 'legacy' (maybe a better term is 'non-PSA') crypto file to be built into the mbedTLS library? * The goal is to build as few crypto source files into the mbedTLS source files as possible, maximizing usage of our separate PSA implementation 2. Example: My test application using mbedtls_x509_crt_parse() receives linking errors for mbedtls_ecp_(group/point)_xxx() and mbedtls_mpi_xxx() that are referenced in pkparse.c (which I am building into the library). * Ecp.c is currently excluded from the build (as is its define) - if I add it, I add significantly more linking errors for mbedtls_mpi APIs. I was under the impression that ECP and MPI APIs could be avoided with the correct configuration. * If ecp/mpi helper APIs are needed still for x509, this would be good to know. However, I'd like to avoid usage of MPI APIs that perform actual software calculations. See the screenshot for a list of non-PSA crypto files I am currently building to test with. I imagine I may have to add more incrementally. [cid:image001.png@01DB726D.879014D0] Any insights on this general use case or my ECP troubles with x509 would be appreciated. I plan to extend the strategy as these are the findings from an attempt to use just one x509 API. Best, Kevin Zak

Use mbedtls_gcm_auth_decrypt get wrong tag

by Elva Huang

Dear mbed TLS team, Recently, while debugging my code, I encountered an issue when using the AES-GCM algorithm. I found that when calling the mbedtls_gcm_auth_decrypt interface in version 3.6.1, the calculated tag consistently does not match the input tag. However, when using the same interface in version 2.28.2, the tag is successfully calculated as expected. Below is the demo code we are using: tstSecKeyList g_stPreInterKey = { .u8KeyNum = 5U, .u8IsUse = 1U, .u16KeyLen = 16U, .u16IVLen = 12U, .u16AddLen = 16U, .enuSecType = SEC_AES_GCM, .au8Key = { 0x68U, 0xffU, 0xb7U, 0xffU, 0x5eU, 0xffU, 0x10U, 0xffU, 0x9eU, 0xffU, 0xb8U, 0xffU, 0x01U, 0xffU, 0xb9U, 0xffU, 0xa0U, 0xffU, 0x1cU, 0xffU, 0xdfU, 0xffU, 0x0aU, 0xffU, 0xe6U, 0xffU, 0xc8U, 0xffU, 0xc5U, 0xffU, 0x39U, 0xffU }, .au8Iv = { 0x3, 0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x4, 0x5, 0x6, 0x7, 0x0, 0x1, 0x2, 0x3 }, .au8Add = { 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 } .u16AddLen = 0, }; static uint8_t s_au8SecMemoryBuffer[6*1024]; mbedtls_gcm_context aesGcmContext; uint8_t *pau8EncryptedPlain = inParam0; (note: inParam0=434421d30c9abf31b96d2d28d00b5cb4e6fe84033999d53d3a50674b3aedd81f) uint8_t *pau8AesTag = inParam0 + 16; (e6fe84033999d53d3a50674b3aedd81f) uint8_t u8EncryptedPlainLen = 16; uint8_t u8AesTagKeyLen = 16; mbedtls_gcm_init(&aesGcmContext); mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init(s_au8SecMemoryBuffer, 6*1024); vidPreInterKeyget(g_stPreInterKey.au8Key, au8preInterKey); mbedtls_gcm_setkey(&aesGcmContext, MBEDTLS_CIPHER_ID_AES, au8preInterKey, 16*8); s32Ret = mbedtls_gcm_auth_decrypt(&aesGcmContext, u8EncryptedPlainLen, g_stPreInterKey.au8Iv, g_stPreInterKey.u16IVLen, g_stPreInterKey.au8Add, g_stPreInterKey.u16AddLen, pau8AesTag, u8AesTagKeyLen, pau8EncryptedPlain, s_au8DecryptKey); Best regards,

Question Regarding Change Cipher Spec States in the TLS 1.3 Handshake Protocol

by 千山啼祢

Dear Developer, I was reviewing the code and noticed that in the TLS 1.3 handshake protocol state machine, the "Change Cipher Spec" state has been divided into five different states based on its occurrence timing. Could you please clarify if there are any specific considerations for this approach? Additionally, these states can appear multiple times during a single handshake, which implies multiple "Change Cipher Spec" messages. However, the TLS 1.3 standard suggests that the "Change Cipher Spec" should only appear once in a single handshake. Could you kindly explain the rationale behind this design decision? Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response. Best regards, XiangDong Li

Heap and stack usage information

by Michael Thomas

Hi, I am trying to determine what would be an optimal stack and heap allocation for mbedtls. I realize this changes with algorithms, some configuration macros for the algorithms as well as concurrency. But is there any information on stack and heap usage that I can use as a starting point? And is there any information on the same for a crypto suite.

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.

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! Best regards, Bas [image: image.png]

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:

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

Confirm if there is an upgrade to the PKCS#1 V2.2 standard.

by Elva Huang

Dear mbedtls platform, I would like to inquire whether the PKCS#1 standard in the source code of mbedtls V2.28.2 has been upgraded to V2.2. From which version does mbedtls start supporting PKCS#1 v2.2? Looking forward to your reply, thank you.

How to export mbedtls_snprintf ?

by Gal Rosen

Hi, I am trying to build lief which is dependent on mbedtls as a static library. I am using conan recipe to build using cmake. The build of the library succeeded, however later while trying to build my own application and link with lief I get the following error: LIEF.lib(x509.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol mbedtls_snprintf What do I do wrong? Or should I configure something while building the mbedtls library ? Thanks, Gal.

Question about contribution of AES hardware support for RISC-V

by Rick Chen

Dear Mbed TLS maintainers, I have surveyed Mbed TLS and know that it has features which can improve AES block cipher performance by hardware instructions instead of SW implementation e.q., AESCE of ARMV8 and AESNI of INTEL. AS far as I know about RISC-V Cryptography extension(Zkne and Zknd), it also supports relevant AES instructions which can accelerate aes key schedule, encryption and decryption process. (https://tools.cloudbear.ru/docs/riscv-crypto-spec-scalar-1.0.0-rc6-20211012…) I want to ask for your opinions and agreement. Is there any willingness to accept this RISC-V accelerated feature idea and contribution to Mbed TLS ? If you agree with it, I would like to prepare a pull request for you to review. Sincerely, Rick

Checking that RSA key and issuer certificate match using mbedTLS 3.x

by Fabian Keil

Hi, I'm currently working on adding mbedTLS 3.x support for Privoxy [0]. Everything seems to be working but I ifdef'ed out the following code in [1] that worked with mbedTLS 2.28.8: /* * Check if key and issuer certificate match */ if (!mbedtls_pk_can_do(&issuer_cert.pk, MBEDTLS_PK_RSA) || mbedtls_mpi_cmp_mpi(&mbedtls_pk_rsa(issuer_cert.pk)->N, &mbedtls_pk_rsa(*issuer_key)->N) != 0 || mbedtls_mpi_cmp_mpi(&mbedtls_pk_rsa(issuer_cert.pk)->E, &mbedtls_pk_rsa(*issuer_key)->E) != 0) { log_error(LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, "Issuer key doesn't match issuer certificate"); ret = -1; goto exit; } As N and E are private now it no longer compiles. Is there a way to implement the check with mbedTLS 3.x? My impression is that the sanity check is overly cautious and we don't have equivalent code for OpenSSL and wolfSSL but I'm curious. Thanks, Fabian [0] <https://www.privoxy.org/> [1] <https://www.privoxy.org/gitweb/?p=privoxy.git;a=blob;f=ssl.c;h=e8007cd9adad…>

Client Certificate Request Question

by Michael Reutman

Hello, I'm running into an issue with using Mbed-TLS on an embedded device of ours and I'm curious if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction. If this is the wrong channel for general use questions, let me know and I'll search elsewhere. As a forewarning, I'm still getting my bearings around the nuts and bolts of Mbed-TLS and network security; apologies if I misstate something or jumble things up. Our device uses Mbed-TLS 3.0.0; ideally I'd like to upgrade this to a newer version, but this version was included in a SDK package for our device and I'd like to get some basic functionality proven out first before trying to reintegrate a newer version into the rest of provided code. The current goal is to get our device to serve a web page over HTTPS with TLS. What we currently see is that the initial hello client and server messages are exchanged without issue, but the connection is rejected after the server requests a certificate from the client. In some browsers, this opens a prompt where you can select a given certificate on the machine; in others, it skips this prompt and sends a response back with an empty certificate. In both instances, the server will return an error and deny the connection. This seems like some sort of user configuration error, given your average web page served over HTTPS on the internet avoids making this request. The literature I've been able to find so far also seems to suggest this request is entirely optional. Is there some option I'm overlooking that makes the server skip asking the client for its certificate and lets connection continue on?

Problem when parsing certificate without Distinguished Name

by Diego Santos

Hi, I'm trying to parse this DER encoded certificate in hex format: 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 This certificate is part of a simple test for this specification https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/tls/tls.md I'm using this https://github.com/status-im/nim-mbedtls Nim language library wrapper for mbedtls. I don't know the mbedtls version exactly, but the lib is based on this commit https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/09d23786f6fdcb4dfa88aad30c8767bd27…. In my code I use: proc parseUnverified*(derInput: seq[byte]) = var crt: mbedtls_x509_crt mbedtls_x509_crt_init(addr crt) var ret = mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der(addr crt, unsafeAddr derInput[0], derInput.len.uint) if ret != 0: raise newException(Exception, "Failed to parse certificate, error code: " & $ret) which is a straightforward version of the C code, but ti fails with: Failed to parse certificate, error code: -9186 [Exception] It seems the problem is because the certificate doesn't have the Distinguished Name set. Does it make sense? If this is really the cause of the problem, is there any workaround? Regards.

Need Info : mbedtls_x509_get_sig_alg API

by Satya Prakash Prasad

Hi, We were using old MBed TLS version 2.19.1 and existing trusted CA certificates were working fine in that release. Recently we upgraded to 3.6.0 and see that now certificate parsing is returning -ox262e value from function mbedtls_x509_get_sig_alg cause of which handshake is not even initiated. Can you please let us know what can cause such an issue and remedy the same? Regards, Prakash

Looking for suggestions about make Mbed TLS APIs non-secure callable APIs on armv8m

by Lee, William

Hi Mbed TLS, I am looking for some suggestions about make some (or all) Mbed TLS APIs non-secure callable APIs on armv8m. The background is that I am going to have a secure firmware that provides encryption services by building part (or whole) of Mbed TLS into that firmware and make those original mbedtls_x APIs non-secure callable, so the existing non-secure firmware could link those non-secure callable APIs and use them. Some of my thoughts: (1) The easiest way to do it I can think of is just add the attribute "cmse_nonsecure_call" to those APIs' declaration (or use a macro to wrap the attribute for conditional build to not impact others don't want it), but I do not think this modification could be accepted by upstream 🙂. (2) So my another thought is duplicate all header files and put them under another folder, assuming it is my-include folder, then I can do whatever I want to my-include folder, but there is also a problem I can think of: a merge/compare burden between include and my-include folder after I have updated Mbed TLS. I really appreciate other suggestions! Thanks, William

Setting ciphersuite causes MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER

by Mbed TLS

My mbedtls client has been working for 2 years. It did what I required and has been stable. However, I now need to force a new server to use my preferred cipher suite. I found the helper function to force the cipher suite here: https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/de4d5b78558666d2e258d95e6c5875f9c7… I added mbedtls_ssl_conf_preference_order(conf, MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_CIPHERSUITE_ORDER_CLIENT) to the end of the function to force the server to choose my ciphersuite. Prior to this change I called the mbedtls functions in this chronological order: mbedtls_ssl_init(&_ssl); mbedtls_ssl_config_init(&_conf); mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init(&_ctr_drbg); mbedtls_entropy_init(&_entropy); mbedtls_x509_crt_init(&_cacert); mbedtls_pk_init(&_pkey); mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed mbedtls_ssl_config_defaults mbedtls_ssl_conf_rng mbedtls_ssl_conf_authmode mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_file mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain mbedtls_ssl_setup mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname and then proceed to call: mbedtls_ssl_set_bio mbedtls_ssl_handshake Now: If I call mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites BEFORE mbedtls_ssl_config_defaults, the ciphersuite list is ignored/seems to get overriden. If I call mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites AFTER mbedtls_ssl_config_defaults, my ciphersuite list changes are accepted and transmitted (I can see in Wireshark). The server then responds agreeing to use my chosen cipher suite. However, mbedtls_ssl_handshake returns with value -26112, which I have looked up to be MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER. Unfortunately I have no clue what is causing this. Could somebody please advise how this should be done? I can see Client2 example but there are functions I have which are not in there. Client1 seems too simple for me but Client2 seems beyond what I require.

Connect using IP address instead of URL "509 - Certificate verification failed, e.g. CRL, CA or signature check failed"

by M M

I am using MbedTLS client code based on this: https://github.com/machinezone/IXWebSocket/blob/master/ixwebsocket/IXSocket… I am connecting to a server via it's URL. However, I would like to connect directly using an IP address returned from running the traceroute command on the URL. So I replaced the URL with the IP address. However, MBedTLS fails on the handshake: https://github.com/machinezone/IXWebSocket/blob/master/ixwebsocket/IXSocket… I get the error: "error in handshake : X509 - Certificate verification failed, e.g. CRL, CA or signature check failed" If I revert back to URL, it works. The IP address does exist. How can I connect using the IP address, instead of the URL?

Mbed TLS 4.0 roadmap and bignum/ecp API

by Gernot Kvas

Hi all, From the announcement and also the long term plans (https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/project/long-term-plans/) it is apparent that bignum/ecp operations on the public API will go away and usage will be restricted to internal only. I do understand and welcome the shift towards PSA API and to abandon the ALT interface for higher level legacy API crypto functions. However, I'm not so positive about removal of the bignum and ecp API. There are projects using those functions even in their PSA porting layer (Matter comes to mind: https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/blob/master/src/crypto/CHIP…) or projects using the bignum layer as abstraction (Zephyr hostap/wpa_supplicant: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/hostap/tree/main/src/crypto, crypto_mbedtls*.c). There might be a case to support those functions to have (hardware-accelerated) low level building blocks for algorithms Mbed TLS doesn't yet or never will support. As other SSL libraries such as OpenSSL also expose similar API (BN_ and EC_POINT_ ), the removal in Mbed TLS will certainly leave a gap. What's the view here from the project team? Cheers, Gernot

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

Usage of ECB in AES mode

by Chaitanya Tata

Hi, ECB is unsecure, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation#Electronic_cod… and shouldn't be used in production. So, I have switched to one of CBC/CMAC/CTR modes, but in `mbedtls_cipher_cmac_starts` I see that it only accepts ECB variants, and also doesn't seem to be using the `type`. From https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/8617 I see that ECB for AES was intentional, even for the CMAC API. Is this expected? 1. Is using ECB for CMAC API correct? 2.Shouldn't we remove the ECB altogether? Appreciate any clarifications. Cheers, Chaitanya.

[Hyosung TNS] Request a quote for embedded encryption library

by SHIN JAE WHAN(신재환)

Dear Trusted Firmware, I’m Jay, an embedded security firmware developer at Hyosung TNS<https://global.hyosunginnovue.com/?lang_switch>. We are a company that manufactures ATMs. For cryptographic communication between ATM PC software and ATM devices, we are looking for a cryptographic library to apply to ATM devices(e.g. cash dispenser). If there is an appropriate library that meets the requirements below, I would appreciate it if you could provide us an estimate. If custom development is required, I would also like to know the expected development period. [Development environment] - CPU : TI AM1806(ARM9) - Compiler : ARM DS-5(armcc) - RTOS : ThreadX - C language - No dynamic allocation - VFP(Vectored Floating Point) not supported [Security Features] - RSA(2048bits) : Certificate and signature verification, Data encryption and decryption - ECC(256bits) : Generating a symmetric key using ECDH and ECDSA - 3DES, AES, AEAD, SHA256, HMAC256, etc : Algorithms related to data encryption and decryption - Random : Prevent replay attacks Please contact me if you have any questions.

TLS 1.3 failures in Mbed TLS 3.6.0

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, Mbed TLS 3.6.0 was the first release to enable TLS 1.3 support by default. Unfortunately, this breaks many applications that open a TLS connection with default settings, which are now negotiating TLS 1.3 instead of TLS 1.2, but hit a difference in how Mbed TLS 3.6.0 implements the two versions of the protocol. The most common symptom is: you are using the default configuration (or something close), and your application fails in the handshake with an internal error whenever it negotiates TLS 1.3. To resolve this, call psa_crypto_init() before starting a TLS handshake. For a list of other known issues, please see https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/9223 If you are encountering a problem due to the enablement of TLS 1.3 that is not listed on that page, please let us know by opening an issue on GitHub. If no workaround or patch is available for your problem yet, you can disable TLS 1.3 by calling mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version(ssl_config, MBEDTLS_SSL_VERSION_TLS1_2) before mbedtls_ssl_setup(). We are planning to fix all the issues listed on that page before the 3.6.1 patch release. We do not yet have a date for the 3.6.1 release. Best regards, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer

TLS-Exporter in TLS 1.3

by Maximilian Fillinger

Hello! I am trying to add TLS 1.3 support to OpenVPN when using Mbed TLS as the TLS library. My current roadblock is that OpenVPN needs the TLS-Exporter functionality (RFC 8446, Section 7.5). For TLS 1.2, we get the master secret through mbedtls_ssl_set_export_keys_cb() and then implement the exporter using mbedtls_ssl_tls_prf(). For TLS 1.3, an approach like this doesn't work because the callback isn't called with the exporter master secret. Am I missing anything, or does this feature not yet exist? Are there any plans to add it? If not, I'd be interested in trying to make a patch. Best regards, Max

bestwritercontent

by hma3yf39＠mediaholy.com

https://www.bestwritercontent.com A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust. He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river." He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

[Mbed-tls-announce] Requests for feedback about Mbed TLS 4: summary

by Gilles Peskine via Mbed-tls-announce

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.

Can TLS client send `Encrypted Alert 21` to server

by Satya Prakash Prasad

Hi All, We are using the MBedTLS 3.6.0 release stack and often see the TLS client -> server sending Encrypted Alert 21 packets followed by closing the SSL connection (or rather reconnection starting from new handshake messages). As far as I understand Alert 21 is a fatal message stating Decryption of a TLSCiphertext record is decrypted in an invalid way: either it was not an even multiple of the block length or its padding values, when checked, were not correct - copied from the Internet. But then Handshake and Application Data goes thru fine for a while and then we see our client sending Alert 21 encrypted message Is it legitimate that the client can send Alert 21 messages to the server and close the current connection - we are observing that the server application is waiting for messages from the client and is un-aware that a connection reset has occurred. So the server application states a timeout for receiving messages from the client. Further, how can we assert such a scenario? When and how can it occur? Is there a way we can simulate it and send details to owners of server firmware to fix their issue? Regards, Prakash

3.6.0 library size

by Steven Burck

On a project at my company, we're using mbedtls to encrypt and sign our data. We began the project with mbedtls 2.2.6, and have continuously upgraded until now, 3.6.0. I've noticed my application has grown greatly since then, even though we are only using the following APIs: Encryption:(only decryption on the embedded side) - mbedtls_aes_init - mbedtls_aes_setkey_dec - mbedtls_aes_crypt_cbc Signing (only verification on the embedded side) - mbedtls_ecp_point_read_binary - mbedtls_sha256_init/free - mbedtls_sha256_starts_ret - mbedtls_sha256_update_ret - mbedtls_sha256_finish_ret - mbedtls_ecdsa_init/free - mbedtls_ecp_group_load - mbedtls_ecdsa_read_signature The size of libembedcrypto.a has grown from under 400K to almost 800K. I've tried reducing it with mbedtls_config,h, but it is not entirely clear to me which #defines do what. I tried one of the sample configs which by it;s name looked promising (crypto-config-ccm-aes-sha256.h), and it reduced the size of the library by 90%, but left me with link errors for all of the above functions. Going one #define at a time manually to see if it saves or grows is slow, and so I hoped I could find some assistance here. Thanks in advance

Question about random number g

by Zhang, Hao

Hi TF-M and mbedtls community, I am new to TF-M, I have a few questions about CryptoCell and random number generation. Thank you in advance. 1. I figure there seems to have two CryptoCell 312 implementations within TF-M. One under lib/ext/cryptocell-312-runtime and the other under platform/ext/accelerator/cc312/cc312-rom. What are the difference between these two? 2. For lib/ext/cryptocell-312-runtime, it does not define MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG whereas /ext/accelerator/cc312/cc312-rom does. Does that mean cryptocell-312-runtime is initiating RNG cryptodriver by using mbedtls_entropy_add_source whereas cc312-rom is using mbedtls_psa_external_get_random<https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m/blob/8df9cc8baf462…>. If so, may I ask why these two cryptocells take two different approaches? I read from one of the documentation that mbedtls_psa_external_get_random is used when entropy is sufficient. So if entropy is sufficient, is it always preferred to have MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG defined and implements mbedtls_psa_external_get_random? What are the differences between the two approaches. 3. I also found cryptocell-312-runtime defines the entry point function cc3xx_init_random<https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m/blob/8df9cc8baf462…>. But since PSA random number entry point funciton is not complete, the cc3xx_init_random is not being called anywhere, right? [https://opengraph.githubassets.com/17cdebc400b0ed807c620b586b21f3f77ff9c5d3…]<https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m/blob/8df9cc8baf462…> trusted-firmware-m/platform/ext/accelerator/cc312/cc312-rom/psa_driver_api/src/cc3xx_psa_random.c at 8df9cc8baf46252fd188bba1d87333a8daa9a5e8 · zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m<https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m/blob/8df9cc8baf462…> Zephyr repository tracking https://git.trustedfirmware.org/trusted-firmware-m.git/ - zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m github.com 4. I know random number generation PSA entry point function is in development, may I ask when that would be expected to complete? Thank you very much! Best regards, Hao

Request for feedback about Mbed TLS 4: DRBG interfaces

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, This is a request for feedback about the next major release of Mbed TLS (TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0 + Mbed TLS 4.0). (Mbed TLS 3.6 LTS will remain supported with its current feature set until at least Q2 2027.) Please reply to this thread or on the GitHub issue linked below. If you wish to leave feedback privately, you can reply privately and your feedback will be anonymized before sharing outside Arm. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/TF-PSA-Crypto/issues/107 Should TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0 (and thus Mbed TLS 4.0) have an interface for *pseudo*-random generation? It will, of course, still have a pseudorandom generator (= deterministic random bit generator = DRBG) internally, to power psa_generate_random(), psa_generate_key(), etc. The question is whether there will still be a public interface to create other DRBG instances, and if so, with what interface. If you want to be able to create instances of HMAC_DRBG and CTR_DRBG from application code in TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0, please let us know what your use case is. In particular, what parameters do you need (HMAC_DRBG and CTR_DRBG have many)? Do you need reseeding, and if so under whose control (the DRBG, or the caller)? In the absence of feedback, it is likely that HMAC_DRBG and CTR_DRBG will not be publicly available. Best regards, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer

mbedtls 3.6.0: zero-sized array gives compiler warning (is undefined behavior)

by Almut Herzog

Hi all, I have a custom configuration where MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C is defined but MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG are not. This leads to a compiler warning in e.g. psa_util.c because a zero-sized array is declared (because PSA_VENDOR_ECC_MAX_CURVE_BITS is defined as 0). As of C99, §6.7.5.2 Array declarators: "If the expression is a constant expression, it shall have a value greater than zero." psa_util.c: #if defined(MBEDTLS_PSA_UTIL_HAVE_ECDSA) // Line 368 int mbedtls_ecdsa_raw_to_der(...) // Line 433 unsigned char r[PSA_BITS_TO_BYTES(PSA_VENDOR_ECC_MAX_CURVE_BITS)]; // Line 436 --> becomes in my config: unsigned char r[0]; MBEDTLS_PSA_UTIL_HAVE_ECDSA is automatically defined in my configuration due to the following code in config_adjust_legacy_crypto.h: #if defined(MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C) || (defined(MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C) && \ (defined(PSA_WANT_ALG_ECDSA) || defined(PSA_WANT_ALG_DETERMINISTIC_ECDSA))) #define MBEDTLS_PSA_UTIL_HAVE_ECDSA #endif PSA_VENDOR_ECC_MAX_CURVE_BITS only receives a non-zero value if a PSA_WANT_<CURVE>, e.g. PSA_WANT_ECC_BRAINPOOL_P_R1_256, is defined. PSA_WANT_<CURVE> only gets defined in crypto_config.h if MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is defined (which it is not in my configuration). I have worked around it by explicitly defining e.g. PSA_WANT_ECC_BRAINPOOL_P_R1_256 in my configuration. But I believe there is some mismatch in the defines, at least in this example case, because mbedtls_ecdsa_raw_to_der() is only used in pk_wrap.c if MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is defined. Impact: * In general, zero-sized arrays have undefined behavior in C (but are allowed by some compiler extensions) and thus behave differently for different compilers --> you might want to review PSA_VENDOR_ECC_MAX_CURVE_BITS and PSA_VENDOR_FFDH_MAX_KEY_BITS (and possibly more definitions) that fall through to 0 and are used as array sizes. * In my particular case, I believe code is compiled that is not needed (defines in psa_util.c and pk_wrap.c do not seem to match)

Request for feedback about Mbed TLS 4: size_t printing with %zu

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, This is a request for feedback about the next major release of Mbed TLS (Mbed TLS 4.0). (Mbed TLS 3.6 LTS will remain supported with its current feature set until at least Q2 2027.) Please reply to this thread or on the GitHub issue linked below. If you wish to leave feedback privately, you can reply privately and your feedback will be anonymized before sharing outside Arm. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/9307 Mbed TLS requires a C99 platform, with some pragmatic restrictions. One restriction is that we do not require printf and friends to support %zu for size_t printing. Starting with Mbed TLS 4.0, we are considering requiring printf() and friends (or the mbedtls_printf() and friends alternatives if overridden) to support %zu. This only affects the TLS library, not X.509 and crypto. Is it still necessary in 2025 to support platforms where printf() does not support the z modifier?

Request for feedback about Mbed TLS 4 and TF-PSA-Crypto: build system

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, This is a request for feedback about the next major release of Mbed TLS (TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0 + Mbed TLS 4.0). (Mbed TLS 3.6 LTS will remain supported with its current feature set until at least Q2 2027.) Please reply to this thread or on the GitHub issue linked below. If you wish to leave feedback privately, you can reply privately and your feedback will be anonymized before sharing outside Arm. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/TF-PSA-Crypto/issues/106 We are evaluating build systems for TF-PSA-Crypto, and this will influence the Mbed TLS build as well (the Mbed TLS build scripts will call the TF-PSA-Crypto build scripts, whatever they are). Our current thinking is that we would like to have *CMake as the sole build system*. (We're still investigating whether CMake can do all we need.) That would mean that we would no longer provide GNU makefiles or Visual Studio solutions. As this remains a C project, for just building the library, compiling all the .c files with an include path covering all the .h files will keep working in common cases (but, as today, it isn't something we support officially). The main case I can think of where this wouldn't work is when cryptographic accelerator support requires special includes or compiler flags. Are there environments where the use of CMake is a problem? What is the oldest version of CMake that you'd like us to be compatible with? Best regards, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer

Request for feedback about Mbed TLS 4: RSA decryption cipher suites

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, This is a request for feedback about the next major release of Mbed TLS (Mbed TLS 4.0). (Mbed TLS 3.6 LTS will remain supported with its current feature set until at least Q2 2027.) Please reply to this thread or on the GitHub issue linked below. If you wish to leave feedback privately, you can reply privately and your feedback will be anonymized before sharing outside Arm. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/8170 We are considering removing support for RSA and RSA-PSK key exchanges in Mbed TLS 4. These are cipher suites that use RSA encryption, as opposed to cipher suites using a key agreement (ECDHE) plus RSA signature. These key exchanges are hard to implement securely (we believe we got it right, but it's very delicate code), and they add significantly to the complexity of the TLS code. They have been formally deprecated for a long time and were removed in TLS 1.3. However, I'm aware that some ecosystems are clinging to RSA key exchange. Are RSA-encryption key exchanges still relevant for Mbed TLS? If you want Mbed TLS 4 to keep supporting RSA-encryption cipher suites in TLS 1.2, please let us know and tell us about your use cases.

The assembly code works with GCC and Clang without any compilation options, but not with MSVC. The intrinsics work with MSVC, but not with ancient GCC/Clang and they require compiling at least aesni.c with suitable CPU variant options (e.g. -maes -mpclmul for Clang). We're considering removing the assembly implementation. Is there still interest in compiling AESNI support with older compilers or with simple build systems that don't pass machine options?

Re: PSA Cryptoprocessor Driver Interface

by Shebu Varghese Kuriakose

+ Mbed TLS mailing list as well for visibility and any comments. Regards, Shebu From: Zhang, Hao via TF-M <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 5, 2024 12:37 AM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: [TF-M] PSA Cryptoprocessor Driver Interface Hi TF-M community, TF-M allows Semiconductor vendors to plug in their HW accelerator using PSA cryptoprocessor driver interface. I have a couple of questions in terms of the driver interface. 1. To port customized HW accelerator to TF-M's Crypto service for TF-M v2.1.0 LTS using driver interface, for the multipart operation, https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/mbedtls/blob/zephyr/docs/proposed/psa… states that "A driver that implements a multi-part operation must define all of the entry points in this family as well as a type that represents the operation context." Take aead encrypt as an example, if the underlying hardware does not support aead_abort, could it implements aead_abort by simply return PSA_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED? 1. The driver interface depends heavily on psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h to dispatch operations to customized HW accelerator, where the psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h file is automatically generated by scripts/data_files/driver_templates/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h.jinja. To port customized HW accelerator to TF-M's Crypto service for TF-M v2.1.0 LTS, would the approach be creating a customized psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h.jinja file, the driver description file in JSON, and entry point functions. If so and we are considering upstreaming TF-M in the future, all these files would go inside platform/ext/accelerator/<vendor name>. Efforts need to be made so files such as psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h.jinja should point to mbedtls, right? Additionally, as .jinja is retiring (mentioned in another email exchange), how would semi vendors update psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h in the future?

Hi, Not sure whether I should report this as a bug or maybe an enhancement issue or maybe it is as-designed: I recently migrated from 2.28.8 to 3.6.0 and noticed: An X.509 certificate DN coded as T61 string (done automatically so by openssl for a DN that contains an underscore) is returned as a hex string in 3.6.0 while it is returned as a regular, human-readable string in 2.28.8. As this is not working for us I patched mbedtls_c509_dn_gets() locally as shown below. Please feedback whether you want me to report an issue or if the 3.6.0 behavior is as-designed for a good reason. Best regards, /Almut --- mbedtls-3.6.0_orig/library/x509.c 2024-03-28 09:59:12.000000000 +0100 +++ mbedtls-3.6.0/library/x509.c 2024-05-21 10:43:43.327442284 +0200 @@ -840,9 +840,7 @@ MBEDTLS_X509_SAFE_SNPRINTF; } - print_hexstring = (name->val.tag != MBEDTLS_ASN1_UTF8_STRING) && - (name->val.tag != MBEDTLS_ASN1_PRINTABLE_STRING) && - (name->val.tag != MBEDTLS_ASN1_IA5_STRING); + print_hexstring = !MBEDTLS_ASN1_IS_STRING_TAG(name->val.tag); if ((ret = mbedtls_oid_get_attr_short_name(&name->oid, &short_name)) == 0) { ret = mbedtls_snprintf(p, n, "%s=", short_name);

What is the right way to use ecp

by arun.lal＠intel.com

I have a very basic use case, to use a buffer and perform ECDSA encryption in a TA application. I also want to read back the private key which is generated. I see functions like mbedtls_ecp_gen_key but I have failed to find enough details on what steps to follow to use this function. It will be really helpful if I can be pointed to a example. Or let me know If there is some other way to achieve the end goal.

Are you requesting feedback about ED25519?

by Christian Huitema

Hello Gilles, I see that you are requesting feedback on a set of issues, but not on support of EdDSA. Yet, support for ED25519 is an important requirement for TLS and QUIC. With other crypto suites, the CPU load is significantly lower for ED25519 than for ECDSA/secp255r1. Somewhat related, but there is also demand for ChaCha20-poly1035, for performance reason on some systems. Are there any plans? -- Christian Huitema

Request for feedback about Mbed TLS 4: CBC cipher suites

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, This is a request for feedback about the next major release of Mbed TLS (Mbed TLS 4.0). (Mbed TLS 3.6 LTS will remain supported with its current feature set until at least Q2 2027.) Please reply to this thread or on the GitHub issue linked below. If you wish to leave feedback privately, you can reply privately and your feedback will be anonymized before sharing outside Arm. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/9202 In 2025 (by the time Mbed TLS 4.0 is released), are CBC-based cipher suites still relevant for Mbed TLS? If you still need support for CBC-based cipher suites (as opposed to cipher suites using AEAD: CCM, GCM or ChaChaPoly, or null cipher suites), please let us know. Removing them would allow us to significantly simplify some parts of the TLS code. They are difficult to implement securely due to being very sensitive to side channels; we think we got it right, but at the expense of performance, code size and maintainability. One option we're considering is to keep CBC cipher suites, but only when the encrypt-then-MAC (EtM) extension is enabled. However, this is problematic because the TLS protocol does not allow a client to indicate that it requires EtM support, which could lead to a failed connection even when the server also have an AEAD cipher suite in common.

Request for feedback about Mbed TLS 4: static ECDH cipher suites

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, This is a request for feedback about the next major release of Mbed TLS (Mbed TLS 4.0). (Mbed TLS 3.6 LTS will remain supported with its current feature set until at least Q2 2027.) Please reply to this thread or on the GitHub issue linked below. If you wish to leave feedback privately, you can reply privately and your feedback will be anonymized before sharing outside Arm. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/9201 We are considering removing static ECDH cipher suites. (Mbed TLS has never supported static non-EC DH.) They are officially deprecated by RFC 9325. OpenSSL dropped them in 2016. If you want Mbed TLS 4.0 to continue supporting ECDH, please let us know in what ecosystem they're still relevant. Best regards, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer

Request for feedback about Mbed TLS 4: dynamic secure element drivers

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, This is a request for feedback about the next major release of Mbed TLS (TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0 + Mbed TLS 4,0). (Mbed TLS 3.6 LTS will remain supported with its current feature set until at least Q2 2027.) Please reply to this thread or on the GitHub issue linked below. If you wish to leave feedback privately, you can reply privately and your feedback will be anonymized before sharing outside Arm. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/8151 We are planning to remove the dynamic secure element interface enabled by MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C, in favor of PSA secure element drivers declared at compile time. The functionality is the same, but with a cleaner interface (we learned from the first draft). However, this does mean that all drivers must be declared at compile time. If you are currently using MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C and relying on runtime declaration of drivers, please let us know about your use case, so that we can try to find an alternative solution.

Request for feedback about Mbed TLS 4: partial ECC acceleration

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, This is a request for feedback about the next major release of Mbed TLS (TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0 + Mbed TLS 4,0). (Mbed TLS 3.6 LTS will remain supported with its current feature set until at least Q2 2027.) Please reply to this thread or on the GitHub issue linked below. If you wish to leave feedback privately, you can reply privately and your feedback will be anonymized before sharing outside Arm. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/TF-PSA-Crypto/issues/103 We are removing all the ALT interfaces to implement hardware-accelerated cryptography, in favor of PSA drivers. For the most part, PSA accelerator drivers provide equivalent functionality to ALT interface. However, there is one main exception: the ECC code allows replacing just code ECC arithmetic (MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT) or even just selected functions (sub-options of MBEDTLS_ECP_INTERNAL_ALT). On the other hand, the granularity of PSA accelerators is whole mechanisms: ECDH, ECDSA, etc. on a specific set of curves. If you are currently using MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT or MBEDTLS_ECP_INTERNAL_ALT to implement accelerated ECC airthmetic and relying on code from ecp.c, ecdh.c and ecdsa.c to provide ECC mechanisms, please let us know what your requirements are and how much of a pain it would be to have to fully implement ECDH/ECDSA/... in your driver.

Request for feedback about Mbed TLS 4: RSA private key import

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, This is a request for feedback about the next major release of Mbed TLS (TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0 + Mbed TLS 4,0). (Mbed TLS 3.6 LTS will remain supported with its current feature set until at least Q2 2027.) Please reply to this thread or on the GitHub issue linked below. If you wish to leave feedback privately, you can reply privately and your feedback will be anonymized before sharing outside Arm. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/TF-PSA-Crypto/issues/105 Mbed TLS 4 and TF-PSA-Crypto will complete our migration to PSA cryptography APIs. For simplicity, PSA only requires implementations to support complete representations RSA private keys, where all the fields are provided (n, e, d, p, q, dp, dq, u). Thus, with only PSA APIs, it is not possible to import an RSA private key without the public exponent, or an RSA private key without the CRT parameters. Should TF-PSA-Crypto provide an extension to support such private keys? If you need this, please let us know about your use case. Best regards, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer

Request for feedback about Mbed TLS 4: custom ECC mechanisms

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, This is a request for feedback about the next major release of Mbed TLS (TF-PSA-Crypto 1.0 + Mbed TLS 4,0). (Mbed TLS 3.6 LTS will remain supported with its current feature set until at least Q2 2027.) Please reply to this thread or on the GitHub issue linked below. If you wish to leave feedback privately, you can reply privately and your feedback will be anonymized before sharing outside Arm. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/TF-PSA-Crypto/issues/102 Mbed TLS 4 and TF-PSA-Crypto will complete our migration to PSA cryptography APIs, which are higher-level than the legacy mbedtls_xxx() APIs in Mbed TLS ≤3.x. As a consequence, the API will only provide access to ECC-based cryptographic mechanisms such as ECDH, ECDSA and ECJPAKE. (ECIES can be implemented on top of ECDH. Support for EdDSA and SPAKE2+ is planned, but might not be ready at the 4.0 release time.) It will not provide access to ECC arithmetic functions such as mbedtls_ecp_muladd(). Do you need custom ECC-based mechanisms (e.g. custom PAKE)? If so, please let us know which mechanisms and what arithmetic they require. We are not currently planning to make it possible to use such mechanisms without patching the TF-PSA-Crypto code. Best regards, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer
