With mbedTLS set up as a streaming server (e.g. https), can it deal with two attempts to connect that arrive in quick succession, so two handshakes are occurring simultaneously? David

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

Regarding implementation of MBED CRYPTO libraries without entropy source on baremetal

by PRASHANT TRIPATHI

Dear sir/madam I have following queries regarding implementation of MBED CRYPTO Libraries : 1) How crypto libraries files could be used on baremetal with no entropy source(cross compilation )? 2) How asymmetric cryptographic operations like RSA , RNG , EC ,DSA etc , could be implemented on baremetal without entropy , seed provisions ? 3) If i want to use some custom PRNG and entropy , then how the respective contexts structures could be filled ? Thanks & Regards, *Prashant Tripathi*

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

MbedTLS crashes with some websites in mbedtls_mpi_free()

by Peter

Hi All, Some websites crash MbedTLS, in void mbedtls_ecp_point_free( mbedtls_ecp_point *pt ) { if( pt == NULL ) return; mbedtls_mpi_free( &( pt->X ) ); mbedtls_mpi_free( &( pt->Y ) ); mbedtls_mpi_free( &( pt->Z ) ); } It crashes in the last function call of the three above. 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.

PKCS#7 format of certificate

by Subramanian Gopi Krishnan

Hi, I have developed a TLS and EST client application. Where the EST server issues the certificate in PKCS#7 format. It seems mbedtls library not support certificates in PKCS#7 format. Is there any plan to support PKCS#7 in future? Thanks, Gopi Krishnan
