Minimum development environment: 2021 edition

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, In a nutshell: 1. Must Mbed TLS support Python 3.4 to configure and test, or can 3.6 be enough? 2. Must the supplied CMake scripts support 2.8.12.2, or can 3.5.2 be enough? This thread is about minimum tool versions to configure, build and test Mbed TLS (excluding TLS interoperability testing and some maintainer scripts) on Linux and similar (Unix-like) platforms. (This is not about the set of platforms where Mbed TLS will _run_, which is as close to “anything with CHAR_BIT==8 and sizeof(size_t) >= 4” as we can make it.) Our general guideline is that Mbed TLS should build out of the box on supported versions of major desktop and server operating systems. In practice, this has tended to mean supporting tool versions from RHEL/CentOS, SLES and Ubuntu LTS releases (but not necessarily extended security maintenance releases). Last year (https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/mbed-tls/2020-April/thread.html) we concluded that we should support the following minimum versions, which will remain supported in the Mbed TLS 2.16 long-time support (LTS) branch: clang 3.8 cmake 2.8.12.2 gcc 4.4 make 3.81 python 3.4 (in 2.16: only to build the unit tests, not to configure) Since then, RHEL 6 and Ubuntu 16.04 have reached their end of life, the CentOS world has changed considerably. Looking at maintained platforms after April 2021 (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/2896#issuecomment-603471273), our current goal for the upcoming Mbed TLS 2.x LTS (last release before 3.0) is: clang 6.0 cmake 2.8.12.2 (or 3.5.2? or 3.10.2?) gcc 4.8 make 3.82 python 3.6 (or 3.4.10?) Regarding Python: is there any demand for supporting Python versions older than 3.6? Python 3 is required to fine-tune the library configuration (it is not needed if you use the default config.h or a handwritten one) and build the unit tests. Regarding CMake: it is increasingly problematic for us to support CMake 2.8.12, which is only required for RHEL 7: other distributions under consideration have at least CMake 3.5. There is an ongoing effort to improve our CMake scripts to make it easier to integrate Mbed TLS into a larger project, but it is difficult to preserve backward compatibility with 2.8.12. Would it be acceptable to require CMake >= 3.5? CMake >= 3.10.2? If you have any constraints that are not captured here or if you have an opinion regarding Python and CMake versions, please let us know quickly. -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer

C/assembly option

by Raoul Strackx

Hi all, We have a product that requires very strong security measures. When compiling the mbedtls library, we face the following issue: Compiling C code with LVI-mitigations is often much faster than relying on automatic LVI mitigations on assembly code. The MPI functions are a good example where we wish to rely on C source code. For other functions, we need to rely on assembly code in order to mitigate other vulnerabilities (e.g., we require AESNI assembly instructions over C implementations of AES). Currently there isn't an option to choose between C/assembly per function. What would be an acceptable solution for this? greetings, Raoul

Mbed TLS releases: 2.26.0, 2.16.10 and 2.7.19

by Dave Rodgman

Hi Mbed TLS users, We have released Mbed TLS versions 2.7.19, 2.16.10 and 2.26.0. These releases of Mbed TLS address several security issues, provide bug fixes, and bring other minor changes. Full details are available in the release notes (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/releases/tag/mbedtls-2.26.0, https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/releases/tag/mbedtls-2.16.10, https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/releases/tag/mbedtls-2.7.19). We recommend all users to consider whether they are impacted, and to upgrade appropriately. Please note that there will be no further releases on the 2.7 branch, as this is now out of the three year support period. Dave Rodgman

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

by Gilles Peskine

Also, if you're looking for a hardware platform with PSA Crypto drivers, Silicon Labs has one available. They've been participating in Mbed TLS development recently and a large part of the driver support code added in the past few months comes from them. You can see the documentation of their development kit at https://docs.silabs.com/mbed-tls/latest/ . (If you want to know about getting sample hardware and driver code … I'm not the right person to ask.) -- Gilles Peskine On 24/02/2021 22:26, Gilles Peskine via mbed-tls wrote: > Hi Frank, > > I'm not sure what you're looking for.

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

by Gilles Peskine

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

Hi Gilles, thank you for your detailled answer. Honestly I was in fear that your answer would look like this. ;-) Do you maybe know of any plans of any software project to use mbed TLS together with a secure element?

Hi Gábor, To reproduce locally, the correct invocation would be tests/scripts/all.sh test_memory_buffer_allocator Specifically, the failing tests are SSL tests. To reproduce those tests, build the right configuration and run tests/ssl-opt.sh -f 'DTLS fragmenting: proxy MTU, * renego' I've posted the relevant logs on the GitHub issue.

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

Requesting a sample code: adding two numbers using mbedtls_mpi_add_int?

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

Overring bignum, aka MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_ALT?

by Fabio Utzig

Hi, I am working on adding HW acceleration to a NXP Kinetis MCU, but the HW accelerator happens to implement many operations which are defined in bignum.c, like "mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod", "mbedtls_mpi_gcd", "mbedtls_mpi_inv_mod" and so on. The bignum clients for me would be ecp.c and ecp_curves.c (as well as ecdh and ecdsa), and while I can override some of those using _ALT macros, for bignum it seems not possible to do so, short of not defining MBEDLTS_BIGNUM_C and all associated dependency issues. Also bignum itself also has other call paths that happen to use the functions I am trying to accelerate, which are themselves called by other files. Since I am using an open-source OSS and can't just override stuff in a fork, so I would like to know if there is some technical reason for an option like "MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_ALT" not being available and if such change would be acceptable?

Re: [mbed-tls] MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_HARDWARE_ALT, mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed() freezes ?

by Gilles Peskine

Hi Manu, f_entropy is the argument passed to mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed, which is mbedtls_entropy_func. This function obtains entropy from all configured sources, which depends on the library configuration. Check if it might be calling other sources (see what sources are added in mbedtls_entropy_init in library/entropy.c). I think there's a bug in your mbedtls_hardware_poll implementation. It's receiving a buffer ent_buf with room for count BYTES, but you're filling it with count WORDS. You need to pass the exact number of bytes. In practice, unless the library is configured in a weird way, count will be a multiple of 4, which can make your code a bit simpler. -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 17/08/2020 19:16, Manu Abraham via mbed-tls wrote: > Greetings, > > I am new to the list, please do excuse me, in case of any list > specific etiquette issues. > > Trying to use a 1.6.1 release with a Cortex M7 port, specifically a STM32H7. > > After enabling MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_HARDWARE_ALT, did implement > mbedtls_hardware_poll() > > It looks thus, and it does appear to work from a hardware perspective: > > /** > * mbedtls_hardware_poll() > * Read random data from the Hardware RNG for entropy applications > */ > int mbedtls_hardware_poll(void *arg, > unsigned char *ent_buf, > size_t count, > size_t *ent_len) > { > register uint8_t i = 0; > uint32_t rand; > > if (!LL_RNG_IsEnabled(RNG)) > LL_RNG_Enable(RNG); /* Enable Random Number Generator */ > > for (i = 0; i < count; i++) { > while (!LL_RNG_IsActiveFlag_DRDY(RNG)) { } /* Wait for DRDY > flag to be raised */ > if ((LL_RNG_IsActiveFlag_CECS(RNG)) || > (LL_RNG_IsActiveFlag_SECS(RNG))) { /* Check error, if any */ > > /* Clock or Seed Error detected.

Re: [mbed-tls] Failing CI tests, Generating coverage report

by Manuel Pegourie-Gonnard

Hi Gábor, Congrats on fixing the previous issues and getting Travis to pass. Unfortunately, the complete logs of the Jenkins part of the CI can only be accessed by Arm employees so far. We have plans to move to a fully-public CI system, but this won't happen before the second half of this year. In the meantime I'm afraid you'll have to ask a team member to get you the results. > continuous-integration/jenkins/pr-head — This commit cannot be built > continuous-integration/jenkins/pr-merge — This commit cannot be buil Note: this can be ignore, these are the results of the parent jobs that spawn the other jobs. > PR-4117-head TLS Testing — Failures: all_sh-ubuntu-16.04-test_m32_o1 all_sh-ubuntu-16.04-test_memory_buffer_allocator > PR-4117-merge TLS Testing — Failures: ABI-API-checking all_sh-ubuntu-16.04-test_memory_buffer_allocator Note: this is a partial list of failed components (truncated due to limits in the Github notifications API). Most of them as components of tests/scripts/all.sh - if you have access to a Linux/Unix machine with the proper dependencies, you can run them locally, for example here the first one would be tests/scripts/all.sh test_m32_o1, the second one tests/scripts/all.sh test_memory_buffer_allocator. Regarding your question about coverage: I _think_ it should work on Windows if you exclude ssl-opt.sh and compat.sh. As your work is related to X.509, excluding those SSL-related scripts should not affect coverage of the areas of interest. I'm not sure if lcov (the programs that turns gcov's raw data to human-readable form) works on Windows, I'm sure your favourite search engine will have more information than me about this 🙂 Note however that most of the development/testing tools are made with Linux in mind, so you might have an easier time running a Linux VM to use them. As a last resort, one of the reviewers of the PRs can measure coverage on their machine - that's something I often do for PRs adding features, especially when some form of parsing is involved. Thanks for paying attention to coverage, by the way, that's really appreciated!

Re: [mbed-tls] X509 V3 - AuthorityKeyId extraction (pull-4117)

Hi Gábor, Thank you for contributing to Mbed TLS! For the memory leaks, compile with ASan(+UBSan): export ASAN_OPTIONS='symbolize=1' # also export ASAN_SYMBOLIZER_PATH=/path/to/llvm-symbolizer if it's not found automatically export ASAN_FLAGS='-O2 -fsanitize=address,undefined -fno-sanitize-recover=all' make CFLAGS="$ASAN_FLAGS" LDFLAGS="$ASAN_FLAGS" The SSL test scripts depend on precise versions of OpenSSL and GnuTLS. Versions that are too old are missing some features and recent versions have removed some features. Even some versions from Linux distributions have removed obsolete algorithms that we're still testing. If you want to pass all the tests on your machine, I recommend that you install them from source. There's a list of the versions we use on our CI at https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/mbed-tls/testing/ci/ . When you're debugging, it's useful to run a single test case or a small number of test cases with ssl-opt -f 'regexp' . The logs are in tests/o-cli-<number>.log and tests/o-srv-<number>.log . Hope this helps. -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 10/02/2021 10:17, Gábor Tóth via mbed-tls wrote: > Hello Guys! > > I am working on an update of MBEDTLS that will support AuthorityKeyId > and SubjetKeyId V3 extensions of X509.

X509 V3 - AuthorityKeyId extraction (pull-4117)

by Gábor Tóth

Hello Guys! I am working on an update of MBEDTLS that will support AuthorityKeyId and SubjetKeyId V3 extensions of X509. I have created a pull request, but I have not been able to solve the issues on Travis: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/4117 As I see the problems are: memory leakage and the failure of two tests suites. I tried to run these suites and a memory leakage check on my host machine, but the .sh scripts are just flashing once and disappearing in a few seconds after catching some kind of exception. I have Python2, Perl, Mingw64 (with gcc) installed and added to the Path. These commands are working: - make CC=gcc - make tests All the 87 tests pass. Tried running ssl-opt.sh without arguments and with "-m", but it exits after a few lines. Do you have any idea what I am missing? It would make the work much easier if I could run the testsuites reproducing the error and if I could find the memory leaks. Thank you in advance! BR, Gábor

mbedtls_rsa_private execution time on stm32f417

by Dmitry X

Hi, im using mbedtls 2.7.17 in my project on stm32f417 (168Mhz) with config similar to config-mini-tls1_1.h for server HTTPS support (Keil). mbedtls_rsa_private is executed ~19seconds on key_exchange phase on browser connection. I’m use default embedded test RSA ca, cert and pkey. Compilation with speed optimization and without not signaficantly reduces this time. Is it normal time of caclulation or something wrong with my platform? I’m expected about 1-2s, not 19..How can i reduce execution time as an expected?

3.0 plans: remove the RSA key mutex

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, RSA key objects include a mutex. `mbedtls_rsa_private` locks the mutex because it caches some auxiliary values used for blinding in the key object. (`mbedtls_rsa_public` also locks the mutex but it seems pointless.) This allows applications to create a key (this must be done in a single-threaded way), then use that key concurrently. This feature has a number of downsides. From a high-level architectural perspective, the RSA module is a low-level part of the code dedicated to peforming calculations; managing concurrency is outside its scope. The presence of the mutex complicates the lifecycle of RSA contexts, leading to unmet expectations (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/2621) and bugs on certain platforms (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/4104). ECC contexts do not have a mutex, even though they would need one, so a multithreaded application that works with RSA keys can't easily be changed to ECC keys. As a consequence, I propose to remove mutexes from RSA keys in Mbed TLS 3.0. Applications that currently rely on the mutex should either migrate to the PSA API or wrap an RSA object (or a pk object, which would allow algorithm agility) in a mutex. This proposal is also recorded with more details at https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4124 . -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer

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

by Gilles Peskine

Hi Frank, Support for HSM keys in Mbed TLS is a work in progress. The way it will work eventually is by plugging an HSM driver under the PSA crypto API, which supports both transparent and opaque keys. The TLS code can already use the PSA crypto API for some things, including client signature. Enable MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO, call mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() to create a PK object for the key, and declare the key to the TLS code with mbedtls_ssl_conf_own_cert() as usual. To create the key, you will need to write a PKCS#11 secure element driver. ("Secure element" = "HSM" for this purpose.) I think it would make sense to have one in Mbed TLS, but I don't know when we might get around to writing one. There are two secure element driver interfaces in Mbed TLS right now: MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C (dynamic secure element interface) and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS (unified driver interface). Both are still experimental: we can't guarantee API stability at this stage. MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C was the first proposal, and its development is currently frozen and may be abandonned, so I don't recommend investing any effort in it at the moment, but if you need something fast (e.g. for a demo/proof-of-concept), it's your best bet. MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS is the way of the future, but it's an active work in progress. If you're creating the key from your application, just call psa_generate_key. If the key was provisioned externally, it's unfortunately not so easy. With MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C, you can register a key that's already present in the secure element with mbedtls_psa_register_se_key(). The corresponding facility in the MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS interface is a "get_builtin_key" entry point, but this is not implemented yet. (There's a prototype at https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/3822 but nobody is working on it. The specification is in docs/proposed/psa-driver-interface.md.) There's an example application with a MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C driver at https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-atecc608a . We don't have example code for MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS yet, or good documentation, or an easy-to-use build system — those are still a few months in the future. If you write a driver in the next few months, I recommend that you stay in touch with the Mbed TLS development team and follow the development branch of Mbed TLS closely, since it's a very active area of development at the moment. -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 06/02/2021 16:59, Frank Bergmann via mbed-tls wrote: > Hi, > > I want to use PKCS#11 with mbed TLS... > > - cross platform: Windows, mobile device (e.g. Android), *nix > - on *client* side > - to create keys (for certs) and store private keys in an HSM (could also be e.g. softhsm as fallback) > > How to "integrate" PKCS#11 with mbed TLS and achieve those requirements? > > > cheers, > Frank >
