The MbedTLS generally allows you to pass in an RNG callback for each function that requires it. This is even explicitly called out in the 3.x migration guide: > The RNG parameter is now mandatory for all functions that accept one https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/a7d454cec2/docs/3.0-migration-guid… However, TLS 1.3 support requires MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/a7d454cec2/include/mbedtls/check_c… And MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C requires MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_C or MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/a7d454cec2/include/mbedtls/check_c… This seems to go against the general rule that MbedTLS doesn't require any global state. Was this done intentionally? -- Jethro Beekman | Fortanix

Regarding adding a new encryption algorithm in mbedtls

by Vishal Rathod

Dear sir/madam, Hope you are doing good! We are working on a lightweight TLS implementation for embedded hardware and want to add our own algorithm inside mbedTLS. As per my knowledge, we have to add a .h file in mbedtls/include/mbedtls and .c file in the library. Also, we have to list our algorithm in library/CMakeLists.txt. Except these, what should be the procedure? Also, our task is during handshake, the receiver chooses our algorithm instead of the default one for encryption and decryption. If someone could help us regarding this then it would be great. Thanks in advance. Regards, -- *Dr. Vishal J. Rathod* *(Member - IEEE, ACM, IET)* *Senior Project Engineer (SPE),* *IoT R & D Group,* *C-DAC, Electronic City,* *Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.* *Email ID: rathodvishal78(a)gmail.com <rathodvishal78(a)gmail.com> and * vishalrathod(a)ieee.org *Mobile - 9879957770*

Feature idea for mbedtls_net_connect()

by Alexander Timofeev

Hi! I am a new MbedTLS user and would like to say thanks to devs first! From my point of view mbedtls_net_connect() could handle binding socket to a specified local client port. Although it does not seem to be a common requirement and bloats API a little bit but otherwise user has to throw away mbedtls_net_connect() and implement connection function by their hands. Best, Alex

Re: [psa-crypto] Benchmark application for PSA crypto API's

by Stephan Koch

Hi Ruchika, as an addition to the previous answers, there is also the SecureMark-TLS benchmark from EEMBC that "Analyzes the costs associated with implementing TLS on an edge device using a common IoT cyphersuite comprised of ECC & ECDSA on the NIST secp256r1 curve, SHA256, and AES128-CCM/ECB", see: https://www.eembc.org/securemark/ It provides profiles to run benchmarks against Mbed TLS API, PSA Crypto API, and wolfSSL, see sources here: https://github.com/eembc/securemark-tls/tree/main/examples/selfhosted/profi… The chosen cipher-suite is similar to the TF-M medium profile and it allows estimates of speed and power consumption for TLS on microcontrollers. It also allows to add - manually - footprint data.

PSA key slot management functions access private structure members

by S Krishnan, Archanaa

Hello, In mbedLS v3.4.0, I came across a build error that there are no members for type and flag in psa_core_keyattributes_t structure. The following functions in psa_crypto_core.h access private members type and flag of psa_core_keyattributes_t structure without the MBEDTLS_PRIBATE() private access. * psa_is_key_slot_occupied() * psa_key_slot_get_flags() * psa_key_slot_set_flags() * psa_key_slot_set_bits_in_flags() * psa_key_slot_clear_bits() Updating to private access for attribute struct members in psa_crypto_core.h fixed the build errors.

Minimum size in RSA key generation

by Gilles Peskine

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

Troubles with server certificate verification

by François Legal

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

Help with unexpected generic_sum result

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

Memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_handshake

by Malcolm Bugler

I have created an http server following the example for server1 under FreeRTOS and Lwip running on a STM32H753 using the Stm32CubeIDE. Everything seem to work correctly, however, I am experiencing a small memory leak over each successive TLS connection of 160 bytes. It is obvious that I must not be freeing a context, but as I am following the example very closely, except for running the code in a FreeRTOS thread, I must be missing something fundemental. Has anyone on this list experienced a similar issue or have any ideas on how to debug it?

best way to shut down network connection

by Gary Metalle

Hi What's the best way to shutdown a network connection for when say an embedded device is shutting down or going to reboot? I have the following code I call when I am going to kick off a reboot: LOG_DEBUG("Network Manager: Ethernet is going down%s", networkManager->rebootInProgress ? "..." : " for reconfiguration..."); netifapi_dhcp_release_and_stop(&networkManager->networkInterfaceContext); netifapi_netif_set_link_down(&networkManager->networkInterfaceContext); netifapi_netif_set_down(&networkManager->networkInterfaceContext); networkManager->ethernetLinkUp = false; if (networkManager->rebootInProgress) { netifapi_netif_remove(&networkManager->networkInterfaceContext); } The trouble is that the link seems to come back up again as soon as it goes down and my state machine starts doing stuff like kicking off a new DHCP request etc, right about the time the hardware reboots. I added in the call to netifapi_netif_remove() quite recently but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I could put some more code in my link status state machine for an impending reboot, but this seems more complicated than it probably needs to be, as I'm probably not doing something I should be.

support of EC and hashing algorithms

by c.luetzenkirchen＠innolectric.ag

hello, I am currently evaluating if latest mbed-TLS release does support following algorithms: - ECDSA using secp521r1 curve - EDDSA using Edwards curves 448 or 448-Goldilocks - ECDH using mentioned curves - SHA512 - SHAKE256 For some of them like SHA512 I found information in the documentation. Others like EDDSA and SHAKE256 seem to be incomplete. Is my assumption correct that TLS 1.3 is therefore NOT ready to use yet? Best regards, Chris

Porting from OpenSSL to MbedTLS

by matteo.cogi＠alice.it

Dear all, I need to migrate from OpenSSL to MbedTLS. I have to implement a SCEP client in my embedded environment composed by FreeRTOS as OS, mbedTLS as security layer and LwIP as network stack. The best candidate for the SCEP client role is the sscep library. It works very well under Ubuntu, but now I need to use it in my embedded environment, so I have to adapt sscep for MbedTLS. I would like to know if there is some porting/migration guide from OpenSSL to MbedTLS. Any kind of suggestion or support will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, Matteo

Hello, I have 3rd party custom ECC library, that can do ECDSA verification and uses secp256r1 compressed public key (33bytes) to do so - all works fine. Now I want to migrate to mbedTLS, to also benefit of other crypto schemes, hence use of mbedtls ECDSA was a natural way to go. Here I need (as I understand) PEM parser or optionally public key in uncompressed format (0x04 | X | Y). Problem is that loading of the key seems to work (func returns 0), but verification fails with -20450, indicating (if I well understood) invalid signature. Test data.

Am I wrongly loading the keys?

PKCS#7 signedAttributes and embedded cert chain

by Joakim Sindholt

Hi, I recently had to do some PKCS#7 signature validation and was disappointed to find that it didn't just work. After digging through RFCs to figure out the myriad of things I'd done wrong I was also left with a lack of 3 features in mbedtls: 1. The full certificate chain was not being loaded and explicitly not supported. I believe this is in error since the certificate was never actually used anywhere, meaning it basically errored out for no reason. Since this certificate chain also contains the key used to validate the signature in my case that presented a pretty fundamental problem. 2. signedAttributes were not supported at all. 3. All the fields in mbedtls_pkcs7 and its associated structures are marked as MBEDTLS_PRIVATE. I need to inspect both the certificates and the signedAttributes and would rather not have to parse the entire DER myself. I have attached patches implementing the first two. I believe I've done so without altering the behavior of the calls although I'm a bit unsure as to why mbedtls_x509_crt_verify doesn't take a const mbedtls_x509_crt. The third issue is a matter of policy and I don't know what your opinion on it is. For the moment I can at least get away with poking at the internal fields. I have tested it on several signatures, one of which I have included here and I apologize in advance for the absolute spew but I thought it better than attaching even more files.

Where is the AES 128 GCM key expansion/generate round key performed?

by Mbed TLS

Hi, I'm using AES 128 GCM with TLS 1.2 and trying to understand the AES key expansion code for decrypting received SSL records. I'm not an expert on AES but as I understand it, we use the IV (4 byte salt + 8 byte explicit nonce in the received message), pad to 16 bytes, increment and use this as input to the AES key expansion for the first block of ciphertext. This produces a round key per AES round (10 rounds for AES 128). We then increment our IV as input to the key expansion and generate the rounding keys for the next block. I noticed aesni_setkey_enc_128 in aesni.c contains the Intel AES-NI instruction AESKEYGENASSIST which helps with key expansion. However, what's confusing me is when I add a breakpoint in GDB, this function is only called once, via mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed in ctr_drbg.c. I thought we need to do the key expansion on every block, to generate the round keys? I kept looking at the code and I noticed mbedtls_aesni_crypt_ecb, which contains the Intel AES-NI instructions for performing decryption. This loads the round key via ctx->buf + ctx->rk_offset but I do not see any code updating this round key per block. Could someone please explain where the round keys are generated for each round, per block? Thanks,

Should TLS be blocking all FreeRTOS tasks which use LWIP, during its RSA/EC phase, regardless of priorities?

by Peter

Hi All, I have a couple of tasks which use LWIP and which get suspended for a few seconds during TLS RSA/EC crypto. One (a primitive http server) uses Netconn and the other (a serial to TCP data copy process) uses sockets. I also have a number of tasks which don't do any networking and which run as they should, throughout. Experimentation of what priority these need is difficult but it looks like it needs to be at/above the tasks which invoke TLS. If their priority is 0 then TLS hangs them up as well. After much experimentation with RTOS priorities, this is what I found, and I wonder if it is right: TCP/IP applications (whether using the LWIP Netconn API or the LWIP socket API) should run at a priority equal to or lower than that of LWIP itself which [in this project] is osPriorityHigh (40). TCP/IP applications can be run with a priority all the way down to tskIDLE_PRIORITY (0). The exception is if TLS is in use. TLS does not yield to the RTOS; you get a solid CPU time lump of ~3 secs (STM 32F417, hardware AES only). TLS starts in the priority of the task which invokes it, but subsequent TLS-driven TCP/IP operations run at the priority of LWIP. So when TLS is doing the session setup crypto, tasks of a priority lower than LWIP get suspended. If this gap is an issue, the priority of the relevant tasks should be equal to LWIP's. Furthermore, due to the structure of LWIP, the priority of a task using it should not be higher than LWIP (24) since it might cause blocking on socket (or netconn) writes. Does this make sense? It looks like LWIP blocks all netconn and socket ops when TLS is using it. Is that possible? I am running with #define LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING 0 #define LWIP_ALLOW_MEM_FREE_FROM_OTHER_CONTEXT 1 #define SYS_LIGHTWEIGHT_PROT 1 as this was found to have much better granularity for task switching. With LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING=1 you end up with a crude mutex across the entire API call, which is fine in a single RTOS task. Thank you in advance for any pointers. Peter

Generating self signed certificate

by Prithvi Pai

Hi Team, I have a requirement to generate self signed certificate programmatically. I have raw EDCSA key pairs generated via OP-TEE APIs. I m trying to generate self signed certificate. I tried the example as shown in programs/x509/cert_write.c. This doesn't work for me as I have raw key pairs where as this expects the key pairs to be in either pem/der format. I tried the following code but it throws error "0xffffdd00" when I call mbedtls_x509write_crt_der Code to set the raw key pairs: mbedtls_ecdh_context issuer_ctx; mbedtls_ecdh_init(&issuer_ctx); ret = mbedtls_ecdh_setup(&issuer_ctx, MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP384R1); if (ret != 0) { goto exit; } res = TA_ECSetPublicKey(&issuer_ctx, public_keyX, public_key_Y, 48); if (res != TEE_SUCCESS) { goto exit; } res = TA_ECSetPrivateKey(&issuer_ctx, private_key, 48); if (res != TEE_SUCCESS) { goto exit; } Am I doing something wrong ? Please help It would be very helpful if some working example of generating certificate programmatically is shared for my reference Thanks, Prithvi

Can the same mbedtls_ssl_context be used simultaneously for send and receive from different tasks?

by pascal.haefliger＠schweizer-electronic.com

Hello, In our project we use mbedTLS together with freeRTOS. mbedTLS requires an mbedtls_ssl_context (let's say `ssl_context`) for the send (`mbedtls_ssl_write(...)`) and receive (`mbedtls_ssl_read(...)`) functions. In our project we have a freeRTOS task `A` to send data with mbedTLS and a freeRTOS task `B`to receive data with mbedTLS over the same session/interface. Both tasks use the same `ssl_context` instance. Potentially sending and receiving can happen at the same time. Is it safe to use the same `ssl_context` instance from both taks? Or should only one task access the `ssl_context`? At the moment we are using `mbedtls_ssl_read(...)` in blocking mode and hence the `ssl_context` cannot be protected against multiple access with a mutex because then the sending task cannot obtain the mutex as long as the receiving task is the blocked receiving state (holding the mutext). Thank you for your help. Best regards, Pascal

Intent to remove DES in Mbed TLS 4.0

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, We intend to remove DES (including Triple-DES) in the next major version of Mbed TLS, i.e. Mbed TLS 4.0. We do not yet have a release date, but at the moment it seems likely that there will be a new major version in 2024. As usual, the Mbed TLS 3.x series will keep the current support for DES, and we intend to maintain the last 3.x minor release as a long-term support branch for 3 years. Rationale: Most security standards deprecate DES if they do not forbid it already. Tooling is widely available to switch to AES or other cipher. In particular, NIST will forbid Triple-DES except to decrypt legacy data after 31 December 2023 (following SP 800-131A <https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-131Ar2.pdf>). We would like to remove the last 64-bit block cipher from Mbed TLS to simplify some parts of the code and reduce the maintenance burden. If you wish for Mbed TLS to keep supporting DES longer, please let us know what your business case is, either by replying to this email or on the GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/7024 Best regards, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer

Builtin keys and Opaque driver wrappers.

by Rehan Malak

Dear MbedTLS dev, I am writing an opaque driver (equivalent of PSA_CRYPTO_TEST_DRIVER_LOCATION/PSA_KEY_PERSISTENCE_READ_ONLY in the test suite) with the PSA API compiled with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS. But I am not sure if I have to use "psa_import_key" before "psa_driver_wrapper_sign_message" or if I have to "read/generate" the builtin key on the fly, at each psa_driver_wrapper_* operation ? Would it be possible to add this example in the test suite ? Or explain how builtin key + opaque driver is supposed to be used with, for example, "psa_driver_wrapper_sign_message" ? I put more details below. Thank you in advance, Best regards, Rehan ############################################################################# I would like to write an example doing : I) psa_sign_message (ECDSA SECP256R1 SHA-256) II) psa_export_public_key III) psa_verify_message (with the public key from II) I am following the examples provided by the test suite, especially : 1) sign_message transparent driver: calculate in driver ECDSA SECP256R1 SHA-256 using the API : - psa_import_key - psa_sign_message with the attributes : - key_type = PSA_KEY_TYPE_ECC_KEY_PAIR(PSA_ECC_FAMILY_SECP_R1) 2) PSA opaque driver builtin pubkey export: secp256r1 using the API : - psa_export_public_key with the attributes : - key_id = MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_ID_BUILTIN_MIN + 1 - key_type = PSA_KEY_TYPE_ECC_KEY_PAIR(PSA_ECC_FAMILY_SECP_R1) and the driver code : - platform_builtin_keys.c : mbedtls_psa_platform_get_builtin_key() (PSA_KEY_PERSISTENCE_READ_ONLY, PSA_CRYPTO_TEST_DRIVER_LOCATION) - test_driver_key_management.c : mbedtls_test_opaque_export_public_key() 3) verify_message transparent driver: calculate in driver ECDSA SECP256R1 SHA-256 using the API : - psa_import_key - psa_verify_message with the attributes : - key_type = PSA_KEY_TYPE_ECC_KEY_PAIR(PSA_ECC_FAMILY_SECP_R1) It seems to me that II)=2) and 3) should be pretty similar to III) because I assume that neither transparent vs opaque, nor PSA_KEY_TYPE_ECC_KEY_PAIR vs PSA_KEY_TYPE_ECC_PUBLIC_KEY_BASE, is gonna change much here. But the signature I) is less clear... Has the built-in key feature been thought such that the read-only key is read each time we call a different PSA API function ? Long story short, an "opaque driver + builtin keys" equivalent of the "sign_message transparent driver: calculate in driver ECDSA SECP256R1 SHA-256" example in the test-suite would be really helpful :)

[Mbed-tls-announce] Coding style change in Mbed TLS

by Gilles Peskine via Mbed-tls-announce

Hello, You are concerned if: you contribute to Mbed TLS, or you maintain local patches to Mbed TLS. You are not concerned if: you just use Mbed TLS. We are going to change the C coding style in Mbed TLS. The new style is mostly what you'd find in The C Programming Language, 2nd edition, by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie (K&R2). The main changes compared to the current style are: * Spaces outside parentheses, not inside. No space in f(x). * Opening braces on the same line as if(), for(), etc., but on a separate line for functions. Indentation remains 4 spaces. The recommended maximum line length remains 80 columns. There are a few deviations from K&R2, documentation will be available shortly. The new code style will be enforced by the CI testing. This means that style that's rejected by the tool will not be merged, full stop. This also means that sometimes we'll have code that looks a bit less good to humans because the tool insists on it. We're doing this to avoid wasting reviewers' and contributors' time with style violations in code review. The tool we're using is uncrustify<https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify>. You can see how your code will look like by installing uncrustify 0.75.1 and running scripts/code_style.py from mbedtls-3.3.0 or mbedtls-2.28.2. There are previews of the rewritten branches at https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/features/new-code-style/development and https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/features/new-code-style/mbedtls-2.… (updated every few days until the real branches are rewritten). If you're now starting work on a new feature or bugfix, it will probably be easier to start from those branches, and do an easy rebase once they become official. If you've been working on a branch, we will provide a script to rebase the branch and rewrite it to the new style commit by commit. You'll need to have uncrustify 0.75.1. Concretely, when we change the code style: * If you've started to work on a branch but review has not started yet, we'll ask you to adapt your branch to the new code style. * If your work is under review, you'll need to adapt your branch to the new code style before it can be merged. Rebasing a branch is disruptive for reviews, so please synchronize with the reviewers to decide on a good time. We plan to do the switch during the first week of January 2023.

[Mbed-TLS/mbedtls] MS-MPPE-RECV key is not getting correct value in MBEDTLS

by Ajay Mishra

Hi All, I raised the issue below in the MBED-TLS github, as per suggestion from the moderator asking it in the mailing-list. Below are the details. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/6864 I am running Mbed TLS as a core security library(2.24.0), on an embedded platform. I am using the FreeRADIUS server for AAA authentication. I am able to get the PMK values correctly at the supplicant side, however while decrypting the MPPE key at the gateway side I see that the values are incorrect specially in the API(radius_client_sec_prot_ms_mppe_recv_key_pmk_decrypt) Below are my setup details: FreeRADIUS server setup on Ubuntu(3.2.1) openssl :1.1.1f Ubuntu version : 20.04.04LTS System information Client side setup Platform : Micro controller based platform OS : FreeRTOS Compiler gcc-arm-none-eabi-8-2019-q3-update Sample example MPPE KEY in clear at RADIUS Server Fri Dec 30 23:50:13 2022 : Debug: (209) MS-MPPE-Recv-Key = 0x2f6c3e7e748eb49a598c208af3ef520454f5aa6873bc72f7f32be1053914a566 Fri Dec 30 23:50:13 2022 : Debug: (209) MS-MPPE-Send-Key = 0xa04539819a272e94782af1818b05878bb0e420d08a51accd6c3cb75baaecbd75 PMK Key values at Supplicant(which is same as MPPE-RECV-KEY) PMK Key values at Supplicant(which is same as MPPE-RECV-KEY) 2022-12-30 23:50:07.313 #1 0000000000000000 <log> 0:28:21.215 [debug] [ tlsp] {Wi-SUN Ev}: >>>> PRINT THE KEY PMK >>>> 2022-12-30 23:50:07.313 #1 0000000000000000 <log> 0:28:21.224 [debug] [ tlsp] {Wi-SUN Ev}: EAP-TLS key material 2f:6c:3e:7e:74:8e:b4:9a:59:8c:20:8a:f3:ef:52:04:54:f5:aa:68:73:bc:72:f7:f3:2b:e1:05:39:14:a5:66 which is same as the value that we see at the RADIUS Server.

Non-Blocking HTTPS read/write using MbedTLS

by Sritam Paltasingh

I have a working Client code in which I use MbedTLS functions to send HTTPS GET request to my server. For sending data to the server, I use mbedtls_ssl_write(). But this call is blocking. My goal is to make this function call (mbedtls_ssl_write()) non-blocking. What is the correct way to do it ? I read the documentation and concluded that: 1. I have to set the bio callbacks using the mbedtls_ssl_set_bio() function where I have to pass the callback functions as parameters in this function call. 2. I have to set the SSL context as non-blocking using the mbedtls_net_set_nonblock() function call 3. I have used the default bio callbacks, named mbedtls_net_send and mbedtls_net_recv, which are defined in net_sockets.c My question is: After setting the default bio callbacks (mbedtls_net_send and mbedtls_net_recv) and setting the SSL context as non-blocking (mbedtls_net_set_nonblock) which function should I use for non-blocking write/read. Will it be mbedtls_ssl_write() and mbedtls_ssl_read() ? And will the call back functions (which are set using mbedtls_ssl_set_bio) be called when read/write completes? Please help me with advice on how to implement non-blocking write/read using MbedTLS functions. Thanks and Regards, Sritam Paltasingh.

PSA Drivers and "add_entropy" interface.

by Ruchika Gupta

Hi, PSA driver interface specification talks about "add_entropy" entry point. Snippet pasted below. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/development/docs/proposed/psa-driv… *A driver can declare an entropy source by providing a "get_entropy" entry point. This entry point has the following prototype for a driver with the prefix "acme":* *psa_status_t acme_get_entropy(uint32_t flags, size_t *estimate_bits, uint8_t *output, size_t output_size);* However, in the current implementation of MbedTLS 3.x I don't see this implemented . With the psa_crypto-init() what I observe is that if the platform enables MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_HARDWARE_ALT then using " mbedtls_hardware_poll(), the entropy source can be provided. Can you please confirm if this observation is correct and also let us know if the <driver>_get_entropy() is planned to be implemented in near future ? Regards, Ruchika

About setting arbitrary RDN while generating a CSR with mbedtls

by Aditya Patwardhan

I am using mbedtls_x509write_csr_set_subject_name API from mbedtls to set the subject name. I wanted to set the arbitrary old value in my certificate for e.g. ffeBgt9jDHhBwPDANgtT7R/1.3.6.1.4.1.37244.2.1=FFF2/1.3.6.1.4.1.37244.2.2=8001 In this case ffeBgt9jDHhBwPDANgtT7R is the CN And 1.3.6.1.4.1.37244.2.1 is an arbitrary OID which has a value of FFF2 similar to the second arbitrary OID. I am able to do this through openssl commands, but while doing it through mbedtls, when I pass it as a string then mbedtls considers the whole string as CN which Is not my intention. Please fine the asn1 parsing of the CSR as below CSR generated through mbedtls: 18:d=5 hl=2 l= 3 prim: OBJECT :commonName 23:d=5 hl=2 l= 76 prim: UTF8STRING :ffeBgt9jDHhBwPDANgtT7R/1.3.7.1.4.1.37466.2.1=FFF2+1.3.7.1.4.1.37466.2.2=8001 101:d=3 hl=2 l= 11 cons: SET 103:d=4 hl=2 l= 9 cons: SEQUENCE Target CSR ( done thorough openssl): 14:d=4 hl=2 l= 29 cons: SEQUENCE 16:d=5 hl=2 l= 3 prim: OBJECT :commonName 21:d=5 hl=2 l= 22 prim: UTF8STRING :ffeBgt9jDHhBwPDANgtT7R 45:d=3 hl=2 l= 20 cons: SET 47:d=4 hl=2 l= 18 cons: SEQUENCE 49:d=5 hl=2 l= 10 prim: OBJECT :1.3.7.1.4.1.37466.2.1 61:d=5 hl=2 l= 4 prim: UTF8STRING :FFF2 67:d=3 hl=2 l= 20 cons: SET 69:d=4 hl=2 l= 18 cons: SEQUENCE 71:d=5 hl=2 l= 10 prim: OBJECT :1.3.7.1.4.1.37466.2.2 83:d=5 hl=2 l= 4 prim: UTF8STRING :8001 89:d=2 hl=2 l= 89 cons: SEQUENCE 91:d=3 hl=2 l= 19 cons: SEQUENCE 93:d=4 hl=2 l= 7 prim: OBJECT :id-ecPublicKey 102:d=4 hl=2 l= 8 prim: OBJECT :prime256v1 Am I missing something here? Do I need to provide the CN in a different way to get the intended result? I found an open issue https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/4886, could it be related to this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Aditya

Thread #1 [main] 1 [core: 0] (Suspended : Signal : SIGTRAP:Trace/breakpoint trap) HardFault_Handler() at stm32f4xx_it.c:103 0x8053c22 <signal handler called>() at 0xffffffed 0x3810180 mbedtls_ecp_point_free() at ecp.c:594 0x8029c7a 0x81030100 It crashes properly i.e. invalid opcodes etc. There is a fair bit on google with others having gone down the same road, never resolved. One site which does it is socata.org but quite a few others do it. Probably 10% of "major name" websites cause it to crash. It may have been undiscovered for a long time, or ever, because most MbedTLS clients are connecting to specific private servers only. People aren't using it to connect to microsoft.com (which doesn't actually crash but the handshake returns 0x2700 which can be investigated). There is a Windows build of MbedTLS (v2.16.2) which seems to work in the crashing cases. Stepping through this in Cube IDE (32F417) it looks like the crash is due to a buffer being filled with random numbers. The guy working on this is contactable only on Monday afternoons so I am a bit screwed :) He said he found something about that buffer, or maybe a corrupted function pointer. But as I said this issue has come up before according to numerous online searches and maybe someone can recognise it. Hardware AES is enabled but this occurs with software AES also. No other 32F417 hardware crypto features are used, other than its random number generator. TLS is v2.16.2. Thank you in advance for any pointers. Peter

Certificate Verify in Client Authentication does not work as expected

by Simon Nachtigall

Hello everyone, We observed a strange behavior in the mbedTLS client, when client authentication is requested by the TLS server. This behavior was observed in the newer version 3.0.0 as well as in older versions. The scenario is the following: The server selects a ciphersuite e.g. ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 and sends a CertificateRequest message that only includes the ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256 signature algorithm. However, the mbedTLS client simply ignores the requested hash function and uses ecdsa_secp256r1_sha384 for the signature in the ClientVerify. Then, the server complains since the signature does not match with the requested signature algorithm and sends a handshake failure. It seems that mbedTLS does not store the requested signature algorithms/hash function from the CertificateRequest and always uses the hash function from the selected ciphersuite. In the ssl_write_certificate_verify function, we find the following comment: /* * digitally-signed struct { * opaque handshake_messages[handshake_messages_length]; * }; * * Taking shortcut here. We assume that the server always allows the * PRF Hash function and has sent it in the allowed signature * algorithms list received in the Certificate Request message. * * Until we encounter a server that does not, we will take this * shortcut. * * Reason: Otherwise we should have running hashes for SHA512 and * SHA224 in order to satisfy 'weird' needs from the server * side. */ Is this a known problem and is there any fix available? Cheers, Simon Nachtigall

Simple question about support of TLS1.2 and TLS1.3 on server side

by caoyxsh＠outlook.com

Is there a plan for adding support of TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 at same time on server side? According to : https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/development/docs/architecture/tls1… only one version can be configured at runtime via `mbedtls_ssl_conf_{min,max}_tls_version` for a server endpoint.

Get size of available application data without calling mbedtls_ssl_read()

by Bruckner, Jan

Hi all, I'd like to know if there is some way to retrieve the currently available number of bytes of application data without calling mbedtls_ssl_read()? I'm writing a "TLS socket" for higher layers to use and would like to notify them when new application data is available, tell them how much it is, but leave it up to them when and how much to retrieve. I'd like to prevent having to buffer all application data inside my TLS socket, because that would mean copying it once from mbedtls' buffer to my socket and then again from there to the application whenever it actually requests the data. After a quick look into the sources, it seems like, if at all, this might be possible for single records. But all related fields are private and I could not find any API for this. Issue #551 [1] seems related, but is more about peeking into the application data, while I would be fine with knowing just the size of available application data. Thanks for any hints on how I could achieve this. Best regards, Jan [1] https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/551 ________________________________ This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.

Feedback requested: Mbed TLS builds with PSA and legacy implementations of the same algorithm with different characteristics

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, Summary: I am soliciting feedback about builds of Mbed TLS where *there is both a PSA implementation and the built-in software implementation of the same algorithm, by design, *and the PSA implementation isn't just calling the built-in implementation because the two have different characteristics, each desirable in some context. Please read this message if you are doing this or considering it. Feel free to ignore otherwise. For example, both MBEDTLS_SHA256_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_ALG_SHA_256 are enabled, so that calls to mbedtls_md_xxx() use the software implementation and calls to psa_hash_xxx() use the hardware accelerator via the PSA driver. And this is deliberate: there is a reason why mbedtls_md_xxx() must not call the PSA driver. In most cases, this is not desirable: if there's an accelerator, why not use it? And we're working to allow getting rid of the software implementation in more and more cases. Ultimately, PSA will be the only crypto interface in Mbed TLS, so all interfaces to calculate SHA-256 will go through psa_hash_xxx() and therefore will dispatch the call to the driver if there is one. This will be an API break, since it will require calling psa_crypto_init() before performing any cryptography. Currently we are planning to introduce this requirement in Mbed TLS 4.0. But it is currently possible to have dual algorithm support, and I can think of unusual cases where it might desirable. Scenario 1, with accelerator drivers: there is a driver, but it can only be used after some initialization. The application needs to use the algorithm before calling psa_crypto_init(), so it calls the legacy interface. After psa_crypto_init() has been called, the application would like to use the driver as much as possible. A typical use case is a bootloader which wants to verify a signature before initializing the random generator, so it calls mbedtls_md_xxx() and mbedtls_rsa_xxx(). Scenario 1 is clearly desirable, and for that we have a planned solution, which is staged initialization. The bootloader will be able to (1) initialize drivers, (2) perform a hash calculation, (3) initialize the keystore, (4) verify a signature, all without initializing the RNG. We won't make psa_crypto_init() mandatory until this feature is implemented. Scenario 2: with a cryptography service. This is a build of Mbed TLS with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CLIENT, so all psa_xxx() calls call the service. But, for some reason, there is also a local implementation of some cryptography algorithms. So you can call mbedtls_md() to calculate a hash even before the connection to the service has been established. Or maybe you want to call mbedtls_md() for short messages and psa_hash_compute() for long messages, because the crypto service has a faster implementation but the communication overhead offsets the gain for short messages. We are currently working on improving support for PSA drivers, and in particular, saving code size by eliminating more unnecessary code when a driver is present, and increasing the set of APIs that benefit from drivers. The obvious way to do that is to make all cryptography calls (especially from X.509 and TLS) go via the PSA interface, but we can't do that yet due to the need to have initialized the keystore and RNG. We are considering routing /certain/ crypto calls via PSA, in a way that would break scenario 2, and would also break scenario 1 in some cases, but not for hashes or signature verification. If, for example, in Mbed TLS 3.4, mbedtls_md() starts calling psa_hash_(), would this break your code? Are you in scenario 1, scenario 2, or some other variant I haven't thought of? If so, *please reply to this message and let us know what your needs are*. Feel free to reply to me in private if you don't want to discuss this publicly (I won't share directly outside Arm, but the eventual design might leak information about the unusual scenario). If we don't hear objections, there is a chance that a future Mbed TLS 3.x will break scenarios 1 and 2. If we do hear objections, we'll work to keep the current behavior or arrange a migration path. Best regards, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer

problem PSA_CRYPTO (Mbedtls 2.28.0)

by xlin＠murata.com

I have port mbedtls 2.28.0 into my platform and am able to connect to a few websites in PKI mode. But after enabling MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO & MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG, with everything else stay the same, I can't connect to the same websites anymore. in the working case (no MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO), after the client (my app) sends "Certificate, Client Key Exchange, Certificate Verify, Change Cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message", the server responds with "Change Cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message". In the broken case (with MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO), after the client (my app) sends "Certificate, Client Key Exchange, Certificate Verify, Change Cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message", the server doesn't respond with "Change Cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message". I don't know how to debug the issue, any suggestion what my cause the server to drop off at the last step?

How much bigger is MbedTLS 2.28.1 relative to 2.16.2? (STM 32F417 GCC)

by Peter

I may need TLS 1.3 support which I believe arrived in 2.28, or maybe a bit later. I don't want to change to TLS 3 just yet. It looks like many changes. My target is "OK" on FLASH (150k of the 350k total code size) but is tight on RAM (after allocating 50k for the MbedTLS heap, we have just 20k RAM left). Ideally I would like the very last version of v2. The problem just found is that Cloudflare is asking for TLS 1.3 which MbedTLS 2.16 does not support. But it may be that Cloudflare can fall back and the problem is elsewhere. Many thanks for any input.

Is there a server somewhere which can be used for testing various MbedTLS client cipher suites

by Peter

Hi All, There are machines out there for testing servers but I don't know of one which can be used for testing a client. This is a tricky area. For example I have a board running, LWIP and MbedTLS, uploading little test files to two sites. One was running EC and AES256. It worked fine. The other was running RSA and AES256 but didn't work, and after some work it was found that its certificate chain was running SHA-1 on the top level certificate, dated 2006. This is actually a major name on the internet! And we didn't have SHA-1 enabled because it is supposed to be deprecated. I wonder if there is some practical way to test out all this. We can probably enable all the MbedTLS crypto options (TLS is taking up 150k out of 350k of code for the whole product, but we can probably throw in some more) but testing them is something else. There is a test suite in TLS but it needs to be embedded in the product itself. Has someone implemented that code on a server somewhere? Thank you in advance for any pointers. Peter

Error about psa_crypto_init

by 韩轾

I meet a problem when I call function `psa_crypto_init`, it return error code -148 that was PSA_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_ENTROPY. I track this function step by step and found it caused by MBEDTLS_ERR_ENTROPY_NO_SOURCES_DEFINED. Code in entropy.c, if( ctx->source_count == 0 ), return this error. My question: I run code on Ubuntu, it runs well. But in some arm board, it returns this error. Why this count will be 0 sometimes? What is the root cause of this error.

Re: Writing mbedtls_x509_crt chain to PEM ?

by Nicolas Pillot

Hello Please note that this is a repost from my previous message from yesterday as it seemd to have bugged (empty text + html attachement) when viewed from the archive. Apologies. Short question : how do i output an in-memory mbedtls_x509_crt chain to PEM text ? Context : I have a project where the user provides a PEM bundle to be used for HTTPS As it is provided by a user, may be incomplete or malformed : - no private key - more than 1 private key - no certificate at all - duplicate certificates - no certificate matching the private key - broken chain - extraneous certificates not part of the chain… So i want to full validate user input. Here is what i have succeeded so far : - parse the bundle into atomic parts, based on « BEGIN/END » labels - try to mbedtls_x509_crt_parse / mbedtls_pk_parse_key each part (no chain) - check that i only have one private key in the bundle - search for the certificat C matching the private key - starting from that atomic certificate, verify it against each other candidate certificate - if it validates, add it to the chain of C, and repeat until no candidate validates - then check that there are no remaining certificate (which never validated anything) - finally print and store the chain (as it’s now deemed correct and minimal) Now i want to store it in PEM format for later use. But i do not understand the way to do it : - there are no write functions for mbedtls_x509_crt - the mbedtls_x509write_cert structure shares few members with mbedtls_x509_crt - i have not found yet how to get/convert many of the missing members - as memory is tight i have have cleaned the « atomic parts » text buffers (but if there is no other way, i'll keep and reuse them) I guess it should be pretty simple, but i cannot wrap my head around it. Thanks in advance for your help Nicolas PS : if steps 1-8 could be done more elegantly, please do not hesitate to point me in the right direction.

Mbed TLS4.0 - Remove legacy cipher APIs

by S Krishnan, Archanaa

Hi, In mbedTLS road map, there is a future task to remove legacy cipher API (https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/mbed-tls/roadmap/). Does that mean all existing mbedtls crypto APIs will not be supported anymore? mbedTLS is used for both its TLS and crypto library. I am curious how the planned changes will affect both set of users. * Are the crypto library users expected to only use PSA crypto APIs and key IDs? * Are the TLS library users expected to see API changes to TLS functions to support key IDs? Thank, Archanaa

Question about handshake MTU

by Martin Man

Hi guys, I use mbedtls for years (since 2.10 IIRC) upgrading to latest available as time goes by. For DTLS that is. I remember a case in the past where a link would have a small MTU (around 500 bytes) and I had to tune ssl_context.handshake.mtu to a lower value to successfully complete handshakes. I do not remember exactly why, but I did not want to actually restrict maximum value via mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu, maybe it was even ignored back then for handshakes… but Now when working on migration to 3.2.1 (gave some time to 3x releases to stabilize) I noticed that the whole ssl_context.handshake member is now private and inaccessible, which I guess is fine. Could somebody with more knowledge of the code recommend what is the best strategy for DTLS app where MTU may not always be 1400? thanks a lot for your time, Martin

Regarding Connection ID (RFC 9146) support in Mbed TLS

by Jérémy Audiger

Hi everyone, I would like to know what is the current support of Mbed TLS regarding the RFC 9146 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9146) published in March 2022. Mbed TLS is currently supporting a draft version of this RFC (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-tls-dtls-connection-id-05) through the define MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID, but I just wanted to know the progress on supporting the newly RFC released this year. Are there any plan to support it soon ? If yes, will it be in the coming weeks / months (i.e.: next release) ? I'm asking since I'm currently playing with the Connection ID on both a DTLS 1.2 Server and DTLS 1.2 Client. Anyway, have a nice day, Best regards, Jérémy Audiger [ioterop-your-lwm2m-partner]<https://ioterop.com/> [social-icon-linkedin]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/7955832/> [social-icon-twitter] <https://twitter.com/ioteropcompany> [social-icon-facebook] <https://www.facebook.com/IoteropCompany/>

Slowness in verification of a ecdsa secp256r1 signature using S32K Microcontroller (clock speed 112MHz) - bare metal implementation

by ammar.ahmed.mughal＠gmail.com

I am verifying a signature generated using ecdsa secp256r1. The signature is getting verified but the time taken by the verification step is too long. It takes 4-5 seconds to verify the signature. The implementation is bare metal i.e. no RTOS (one realizes the use of RTOS but still the time is too long). Can you please guide a way around for this issue. How to make it work faster , the ideal verification time would be 30ms - 60ms. Here is a gist of my code mbedtls_ecp_curve_info *curve_info = NULL; mbedtls_ecdsa_context ecdsa_context; /// Initialization mbedtls_ecdsa_init(&ecdsa_context); curve_info = mbedtls_ecp_curve_info_from_tls_id(23); /// 23 is tls_id of secp256r1 mbedtls_ecp_group_load(&ecdsa_context.grp, curve_info->grp_id); /// Processing result = mbedtls_ecp_point_read_binary( &ecdsa_context.grp, &ecdsa_context.Q, public_key_data, // public key data in uncompressed format i.e. including leading 0x04 sizeof(public_key_data) ); /// 32 /// 71 status_verify_signature = mbedtls_ecdsa_read_signature(&ecdsa_context, hash, sizeof(hash), signature, sizeof(sig)); /// converts the signature data to ASN1, verifies the signature Thank you :)

Hi, We have developed a propriety protocol that authenticate node using certificate. In our PKI, we have four level of certificates as ROOT_CA, PROXY_CA, LOCAL_CA, and DEVICE_CERTIFICATE. Parsing of trusted CA certificate is getting success. However, verifying PROXY_CA against ROOT_CA fails with below error code. MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_UNKNOWN_SIG_ALG + MBEDTLS_ERR_OID_NOT_FOUND I have viewed the certificates transacted using OpenSSL command, the ASN1 OID is ECDSA_SHA384. Though, I have enabled the algorithm, it is failing. Any support would be appreciated. Attached the config.h for your reference. Thanks, Gopi Krishnan

Adding option to disable the zeroisation of internal buffers

by joel.petersson＠dirac.com

After recently updating mbedtls I noticed a considerable slowdown (over 70% on my cortex-m7 board) in the sha256 implementation, and after some digging I found the offending commit: https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/commit/76749aea784cfec245390d0d6f0ab0a2… I understand the motivation behind the commit, but I think it may not be relevant to all use cases. So my question is if an option to disable the clearing of internal buffers in mbedtls_config.h would be a reasonable improvement? Or would that be considered to much of a foot gun?

misc. questions

by Frank Bergmann

Hi all, I have some questions. 1) If you have an established TLS connection (mbed TLS 3.x) and while the connection is up the (server-) certificate expires: Will the connection stay up? Or is a new handshake (with valid cert) REQUIRED? 2) Related to question 1: CAN mbed TLS switch to a new cert on an existing TLS connection? (e.g. by doing another handshake from server OR client side) 3) With 3.x some struct members are now "private". Even if you can allow private access by a define it would be better to use a getter. But for ssl context's "state" I am missing this and also for "p_bio" (to access fd). Is there a chance to get this implemented? BTW - a big "LIKE" for 3.x! I really appreciate the changes. Thank you! kind regards, Frank

What is the URL to access the Mbed TLS knowledge base?

by Max Peng

Hi mbed-tls Team, I notice that https://tls.mbed.org has been directed to https://www.trustedfirmware.org/projects/mbed-tls/. However, I does not see any link to the old Mbed TLS knowledge base. It is a good resource for learning Mbed TLS. What is the URL to access it? Thanks, Max Peng

State of documentation

by Tim Becker

Hi all, it feels like the state of documentation has deteriorated since the last time I've used mbedtls (a couple of months ago). I'm not sure if the google index hasn't fully been updated yet, or I don't understand the new structure of the docs or ... Also, is this the proper forum to make suggestions? Should I raise an issue on Github? 1.) a lot of previously linked, useful information now redirects here: https://www.trustedfirmware.org/projects/mbed-tls/ which (please excuse my frankness) feels like an utterly useless abomination that only marketing people could love. - Some examples of previously useful links: from the wiki ( https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/mbed-tls/) : > Old Mbed TLS website > Documentation: Mbed TLS API Reference; Knowledge base; Dev corner all redirect to trustedfirmware.org ! As do nearly all the links in https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/development/SUPPORT.md 2.) there is no longer an doxygen generated API documentation anywhere only. I could generate it myself, but then I'd need to get and install Doxygen, figure how to use it, etc. It would be great if this were restored. It can't be that expensive to host :) Anyway, it feels like I've been running around for hours trying to find _anything_ useful, but I just realized everything is redirected to trustedfirmware.org ... Is there any way to still access the old, useful docs? Thanks & sorry that this post is so negative, -tim

TLS Handshake failure while connecting to mqtt broker from device

by urvi＠milltech.in

Hello Sir/Madam, I am developing TI's EFM32 series micro controller based IOT device. This device will connect to mqtt broker and publish/ subscribes to/from data. In my application, I am trying to connect to AWS using mbedtls library over lwIP (no rtos mode). While my device is in debug mode (i.e. JTAG programmer connected) then it gets connected to AWS successfully. But when I remove JTAG programmer and operate device in normal running mode, then it failed to get connect to broker (i.e. AWS). I observe following errors occured while performing TLS handshaking stage: SSL - The connection indicated an EOF X509 - Certificate verification failed, e.g. CRL, CA or signatur SSL - Processing of the ServerHello handshake message failed

Setup to test and debug a single funciton.

by Victor Micó

Hi all, First of all apologies if this is not the right place for this topic. For my master thesis I am using the mbedtls library to analyze it using side channel analysis. My objective was to use it as a starting point to analyze the resistance of different exponentiation algorithms. With this objective I am trying to set up a environment where I can call the function "mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod" https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/f5b7082f6e8af72868966b6ea99eae228f… and debug it. I have been trying for at least two weeks but I couldn't be able to succeed. I believe that when If I can get a debugging environment for that function I will be able to adapt it and use other exponentiation algorithms such as the Left-to-right k-ary (HAC 14.82). I am using VScode and the code is located in WLS Ubuntu 20.04. So far I been able to compile the full library and run all the tests. Anyone here could give mean indication on how to set up the environment to debug this function? Thanks! Victor.

Looking for information regarding the long-term support of the MbedTls library.

by heinrich.mueller＠g-ushin.com

Hello, Currently, we are evaluating the MbedLib to be eventually used in small and midsized automotive ECUs. * Since we have to follow the UNECE Regulation R155, R156, and ISO/SAE 21434 I need some information regarding the long-term support of the library and how the communication of bugs is organized? * I also do not understand the involvement and responsibility of ARM company? * Furthermore, I'm not sure if I understood the terms PSA and MbedTls and their mutual dependencies as well as the technical meaning? I checked the web for I but did not find anything about it yet. It would be just great if somebody can give me some hints or links to the information I am looking for. Regards Heico

How to secure two simultaneous sockets?

by Fred Wedemeier

I have an application using mbedTls 2.9.0 that's been running successfully for a few years. It secures connections for the AWS MQTT broker, for https GET/PUT transfers, and for SSL/TLS email servers - But only one secure connection at a time. I need to add support for an FTPS client. This requires opening/securing a control channel on port 21, then opening/securing a second port for data transfer. Opening/securing the control channel works as expected. Then, when the client calls connect() for the data transfer socket, the server log shows messages indicating it is preparing for a TLS handshake. Now, here's where I may be missing something... The client calls the same code as for the control connection: Allocates a second mbedtls_ssl_context, mbedtls_ssl_config, mbedtls_x509_crt, et.al, and calls some mbedtls_ssl_*() functions which were copy/pasted from example code several years ago. The server name and root cert are the same. I think the only difference in the second negotiation is the underlying socket descriptor allocated by the IP stack for the data channel. When mbedtls_ssl_handshake() is called, both the filezilla log and client log show a successful handshake. The filezilla log then shows it trying to establish yet another secure data connection, which fails, and reports "TLS session of data connection not resumed." Questions: -- Is the above sequence correct for opening and securing a second connection? -- In searching through ssl.h I see mbedtls_ssl_get_session() and mbedtls_ssl_set_session(). Are these relevant to the situation? I cannot tell from their one-sentence descriptions.

psa_crypto_init() asks for entropy even it is not needed for every use case

by heinrich.mueller＠g-ushin.com

Hello, currently, I am evaluating the mbed-tls. I already created some smaller demos regarding AES and RSA. I do so on a PC with cygwin and with Keil micro vision for a NXP S32K144. One demo is just validating some data with a signature and an existing public key. Here is the point that puzzles me a bit. As far as I understand this cybersecurity stuff entropy is not needed for the above use case. Some of my colleagues would agree with me. Once psa_crypto_init() is called on a target NXP S32K144 the function returns PSA_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_ENTROPY. So far so good https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/v6.15/porting/entropy-sources.html gives the hints on how to handle this in general but I did not find any information on how to disable the "request for entropy" in a save way once your use case does not need any new secrets. Can you give me a hint why psa_crypto_init() is implemented that way? It may also be that I still have a conceptual understanding problem!? Regards Heico

*_ALT vs PSA for HW crypto and upstreaming

by mathieu.rondonneau＠broadcom.com

Hi mbed-tls Team, PSA crypto API for HW acceleration seems pretty new. Question1: is there some reference code or project I could poke around to see how it is being used? Currently I have added (locally) a set of driver to make use of our HW crypto using the *_ALT way (the old way?) and for what I understand, the PSA API is the "new way" to do things. But It is still unclear how vendor do upstream there HW acceleration drivers. If this part is kept in another repo, then the mbedTLS build does not have any "hooks" to pull-in the vendor specific code to build the mbedTLS library with. The current implementation seems to be agnostic to any vendor specific HW so I am wondering if there is a "standard" way for vendor to upstream their mbedTLS HW acceleration code that would be built as part of mbedTLS library. I have posted a similar thread to the "issue" ticket of the mbedtls repo for reference: https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/5975 Thanks for any feedback/pointers/ideas. Regards, -Mathieu

LWIP/MbedTLS - any idea if SPI SRAM (block-accessible RAM) could be used for buffers?

by Peter

Hi All, My target has 128k SRAM which has about 60k spare, and 64k CCM which is allocated whole to FreeRTOS stacks etc (its private heap, memory model #4). I am running a simplified HTTP server (for local config etc), which uses fairly minimal RAM (a few k), and an HTTPS/TLS client which uses about 50k (for its private heap). So if both of the above are running concurrently, there is only ~10k RAM left, but it does work, but when TLS is doing its handshake/negotiation (which on a 168MHz 32F417 takes 2-3 seconds) the HTTP server temporarily hangs. Investigating this, it appears that LWIP is running out of buffers during TLS and is rejecting incoming packets. I don't really want to change the CPU to the next one up which has another 64k RAM, because a) I have stock of the 417 and this took about a year to get, b) the design is rock solid and I don't want to tempt fate (there is a lot of subtle hardware usage e.g. DAC ADC DMA timers) even though in theory it should be just alternate function pin changes, c) some versions of the product may not need TLS at all. I have an option of an 8 megabyte SPI-attached RAM https://www.eevblog.com/forum/microcontrollers/lyontek-ly68l6400-8-megabyte… which does work and is not bad at $3 (there are cheaper 128kbyte versions too), but obviously cannot be addressed as normal RAM. The ESP32 can do that but the 32F4 can't. Does anyone know enough about the internals of MbedTLS, or even LWIP, to know whether the memory usage structure lends itself to this kind of "overlay" memory? One can read or write say 1k bytes in 400us, in my target (21MHz SPI with DMA). Obviously this would be horribly inefficient for a byte at a time emulation but perhaps one can switch buffers in and out... Thank you in advance. If somebody knows of a concrete route, I am happy to pay for the time. Regards, Peter
