Hi, I have been working with Mbed TLS for the last 6 months in an extremely low memory use case. This library has been an absolute joy to work with because of how flexible it is. I have an interesting use case with how little RAM I have to work with (around 6kb on one microprocessor) and I have made some changes that I thought would be of interest. I'm not sure if I should submit them as a single changeset or a set of changes. I'll describe the changes and if there is interest I can clean them up for submission. The first change that I made was for a scenario with two microprocessors communicating over a UART. I was already using TLS offloading so that the private key was on one processor (with only 6kb of RAM free) and the SSL context stored on the other. I required generating a CSR and thus made some changes to the CSR code to be able to generate the CSR using a similar private key offloading strategy. I found an issue with downloading firmware for OTA from openssl web servers. This is a little tricky to describe. The server was not responsive to requests for reducing the max fragment length, which forced me to use MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN set to 16384. But I needed to have multiple ssl sessions open for other activities and did not have enough RAM to hold multiple large buffers. I have made a set of changes to allow setting the content length when the ssl context is initialized, as well as setting different IN and OUT content lengths to save memory. This change allowed me to set up one session with 16kb for the IN content length, and then 4kb for OUT content length, while a second session could use 2kb for a total of 24kb instead of 64kb. Related to the openssl issue, I found that the incoming ssl packet header length can sometimes be 8 or 16 bytes larger than expected depending on which AES method is selected. I'm not actually sure what the best way to solve this is. One way may be to change MBEDTLS_SSL_HEADER_LEN from 13 to 29 bytes. However I ended up solving it by adding 16 to both MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_BUFFER_LEN and MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_BUFFER_LEN. This way I could handle the larger ssl header as well as receive the content body. If these three changes sound interesting I can start work on cleaning up the code to be less specific to my company and then submit the changes. Also I would like to know if there is any process I should be following when submitting these changes. Thanks, Nick Setzer SimpliSafe, Inc. 294 Washington Street, 9th Floor Boston, MA 02108

Re: [mbed-tls] [Mbed-tls-announce] Force push on the master branch

by Scott Branden

Although this particular change doesn't affect me - rewriting history is a bad idea. Why not simply commit a revert back to a cleaner point on "master" branch and then commit the new changes you want from there? Then history is not lost on master branch. Or, with the BLM movement some repos are stopping use of master branch. github seems to be encourage it going forware: https://www.zdnet.com/article/github-to-replace-master-with-alternative-ter… So another option: stop using "master" branch. You could even create a tag/rename and then delete the branch name to avoid any confusions. History won't be rewritten then, just a little "hidden". And start using a new "main" branch. You can push you entire commit series there without revering anything on master branch.

Re: [mbed-tls] Upgrading from 2.13.1.to ??.??.??

by Manuel Pegourie-Gonnard

Hi Jeff, > Given the age of the version of mbedTLS I’m using, which is 2.13.1, plus the recent security alert, I think I need to upgrade the version of mbedTLS we have. The question is, which version to use? Indeed upgrading to a maintained branch is very recommended! There are currently two actively maintained branches you could use: * 2.16.x, which is our latest LTS branch, currently at 2.16.7. As an LTS branch, it only receives bug fixes and security updates, so it's pretty stable. In particular, since it doesn't receive any new feature, its footprint (code size) should remain mostly stable as well. * 2.x.y, released from the development branch, currently at 2.23.0. This is the branch where new features land. Both of these have full API compatibility with 2.13.1. We take great care not to break API compatibility between major releases - we haven't broken it since Mbed TLS 2.0.0 (release 2015-07-13), and the next release to break API compatibility with be 3.0.0 (now planned for early 2021). Until then, upgrading should be a simple matter of replacing the mbedtls directory in your source tree with the version of your choice, then rebuilding your project. (Moreover in the LTS branches we actually try maintain ABI compatibility as far as possible - that is, unless there's a security issue that can only be fixed by changing the ABI.) Mbed TLS is designed bo be quite modular an integrate with the OS and networking stack via user-provided hooks and compile-time configuration (`include/mbedtls/config.h`). I'm not sure how the integration with LwIP and FreeRTOS was done by your MCU vendor, but I suggest you check: * is the mbedtls directory in your source tree identical to our upstream release? If yes, you should be able to just replace it with the release of your choice and things should work. * otherwise, what's the nature of the differences: are filed shuffled to a different directory structure? is the build system different? has the `mbedtls/config.h` file been modified? have other files been modified (which ideally really shouldn't be necessary)? In that case, you'll probably need to apply the same changes to the upgraded version of Mbed TLS. Hopefully the differences if any will be small, and otherwise perhaps you MCU vendor can provide documentation about it. So I can't really say for this specific integration, but in principle upgrading Mbed TLS should be really painless - precisely so that people can upgrade easily in case of security fixes. Hope this helps, and let us know how it went!

Re: [mbed-tls] mbed-tls canonical repository (trustedfirmware.org git empty)

Hi Matt. You are right - https://git.trustedfirmware.org/tls/mbed-tls.git seem to be empty. As part of Mbed TLS transitioning to trustedfirmware.org community project in March’20, a mirror of https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls.git was created in the above trustedfirmware.org git. Yes, all the development is still carrying on in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls.git and the plan is to move the development of MbedTLS to trustedfirmware.org repository itself a bit later on.

Re: [mbed-tls] Mutual Authentication in TLS handshake - No client certificate passed

by Hannes Tschofenig

Hi all, I have been using Mbed TLS with mutual certificate-based authentication all the time. Here is the configuration: [cid:image004.jpg@01D65150.65DFD610] Here is a link to a webinar where I talk about certificate-based authentication and show-case mutual authentication with a Keil development board: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH4v-aXQ2zQ<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH4v-aXQ2zQ&feature=emb_logo> Slides are here: http://www2.keil.com/docs/default-source/default-document-library/keil_mbed… >From what I can tell (trying to connect to your test server myself) you haven't configured the auth_mode=required on the server side.

I double checked all the recommended configuration that you mentioned but it did not help. I really suspect if I have hit a mbedTLS limitation here. Following our conversation, I tried connecting to the server using openSSL.

I have attached the openSSL logs to show the flow of TLS activity. As per the logs attached, this is the flow of activity: 1. In the first TLS handshake there is no certificate request and no client certificate sent. I see ClientHello, ServerHello, ServerCertificate, ServerKeyExchange, Server Done, ClientKeyExchange, Change cipher spec, Certificate chain information and Server Cert. Till here, I do see: No client certificate CA names sent. 2. Now when I do a Get call & pass the HOST, client writes that call to the server and in turn the server returns me a "HelloRequest" which is encrypted. Now, this chain of handshake has a CertificateRequest, ClientCertificate, CertificateVerify etc. I see that 1009 bytes of data been written on the server under the name of client certificate. There is no way to see this certificate because the channel is encrypted now. 3. Lastly, we get HTTP/1.1 200 OK. Now when I do the same thing using the mbedTLS client on windows 10 PC, I see that the client gets reset during the renegotiation process. Note that the client cert was supposed to be exchanged in the renegotiation period, not the initial handshake. I have attached the logs for mbedTLS client as well and here are the commands that I use to communicate using mbedTLS client. ssl_client2.exe server_name=preview.auth.edgeai.azure.net server_port=443 debug_level=5 auth_mode=required renegotiate=1 reconnect=1 request_page=/api/v1/device/auth crt_file=certificate1.pem key_file=privateKey1.pem ca_file=server_prev1.pem I am wondering if this type of exchange of certs is not supported by mbedTLS at all.

New TrustedFirmware.org security incident process is now live

by Dan Handley

Hi all The new TrustedFirmware.org security incident process is now live. This process is described here: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/security_center/repor… Initially the process will be used for the following projects: TF-A, TF-M, OP-TEE and Mbed TLS. The security documentation for each project will be updated soon to reflect this change. If you are part of an organization that believes it should receive security vulnerability information before it is made public then please ask your relevant colleagues to register as Trusted Stakeholders as described here: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/security_center/trust… Note we prefer individuals in each organization to coordinate their registration requests with each other and to provide us with an email alias managed by your organization instead of us managing a long list of individual addresses. Best regards Dan. (on behalf of the TrustedFirmware.org security team)

Re: [mbed-tls] Choosing a cipher

by Gilles Peskine

The TLS protocol has many options. A TLS connection starts with a handshake whose role is mostly for the client and the server to agree on these options. The ciphersuite is one of these options. It determines which cryptographic primitives will be used for the various security properties (data confidentiality, data integrity, server authentication, etc.). A ciphersuite mismatch, or more generally a mismatch of some option of the protocol, or a certificate mismatch, would normally result in the dissatisfied party closing the connection. For a ciphersuite mismatch, the server should send an alert "handshake failure". For a certificate mismatch, there are several alerts ("bad certificate", "certificate expired", etc.). The first tool to turn to when debugging a TLS connection is Wireshark. Compare a failing connection with a successful connection with similar settings (preferably to the same server). Keep in mind that there can be many legitimate differences, so the first difference might not be the source of the problem. You can try connecting with programs/ssl/ssl_client2 from the mbedtls source tree with different sets of options. For some background on how a TLS connection should work, I suggest starting with Wikipedia, then https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/20803/how-does-ssl-tls-work and https://tls.ulfheim.net/ (The Illustrated TLS Connection — note that while it's a very good explanation, it's for a specific choice of ciphersuite and other options). -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 29/06/2020 03:02, Thompson, Jeff via mbed-tls wrote: > Another baby step in discovering what's happening.

SSL/TLS Handshake Failure

by Thompson, Jeff

Much thanks to Manuel and Gilles for helping me get this far! I'm trying to connect to endpoint hosted by Google for IoT devices. The handshake appears to progress through certificate verification and key exchange, encrypts a payload and then times out waiting for 5 expected bytes. I've attached the last part of the mbedTLS output generated with DEBUG_LEVEL 5 (the entrie thing is too big to include here). I'm sure the problem is either my code, network configuration, or somewhere else on my end. Can anyone give me a clue as to what might be wrong? The starting point for attempting the connection is https_client_tls_xchg(), found in the attached snippet from the example httpsclient.c file as I've modified it. FWIW, I'm using mbedTLS 2.13.1 running on an MIMXRT1062DVJ6A with MCUXpresso SDK 2.6.2. My HTTPS client is based on NXPs example project lwip_httpscli_mbedtls_freertos.

Re: [mbed-tls] Working with a PEM file

by Gilles Peskine

[I assume you meant to reply to the list.] If you don't have a filesystem, call mbedtls_x509_crt_parse instead of mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_file. To save static data size, you may want to store the data in binary form instead of base64. To do this: 1. Split the PEM file into individual certificates. 2. Convert each file to DER (you can use programs/util/pem2der, but you need to split the file first, because it only converts the first PEM chunk). 3. Convert each binary file to a C unsigned char array literal. 4. In your code, call mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der in a loop over the array. Your code might look something like this: const uint8_t cert1_der[] = {0x30, …}; const uint8_t cert2_der[] = {0x30, …}; … const struct {const uint8_t *data; size_t size;} root_certs_der = { {cert1_der, sizeof(cert1_der)}, … }; … mbedtls_x509_crt roots; mbedtls_x509_crt_init(&roots); for (i = 0; i < sizeof(root_certs_der)/sizeof(root_certs_der[0]); i++) mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der(&roots, root_certs_der[i].data, root_certs_der[i].size); Best regards, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 23/06/2020 23:31, Thompson, Jeff wrote: > I did see that function, but it assumes a file system, doesn't it? I'm not using one, and that would be a really big change to make this late in the development cycle, if I can avoid it.

Re: [mbed-tls] Working with a PEM file

by Gilles Peskine

Hi Jeff, Don't modify or use the certificates in certs.c. The certificates in the certs module are only intended for testing and they will be moved from the library to the test code soon. They are never used automatically and should never be used outside of tests. The easiest way to set these root certificates is to pass the file to mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_file(). This gives you an object that represents the certificates and you can use those as the trusted CAs for certificate verification through the X.509 or TLS API. Your code might look like this (error checking and rest of the code omitted): mbedtls_x509_crt roots; // head of the list of trusted CAs mbedtls_x509_crt_init(&roots); mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_file(&roots, "roots.pem"); … // Verify that there is a chain of trust from a certificate to one of the trusted CAs mbedtls_x509_crt_verify(&crt_to_verify, &roots, NULL, NULL, &flags, NULL, NULL); … // Use the trusted CAs for a TLS connection mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain(&ssl_config, roots, NULL); … // Once the certificates are no longer used anywhere mbedtls_x509_crt_free(&roots); Best regards, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 23/06/2020 21:38, Thompson, Jeff via mbed-tls wrote: > > I’ve downloaded https://pki.goog/roots.pem and want to use the > certificates in it with mbedTLS.

Working with a PEM file

by Thompson, Jeff

I've downloaded https://pki.goog/roots.pem and want to use the certificates in it with mbedTLS. Is there some documentation that tells me how to do this? The certs.c file only contains only a handful of certs, while the PEM file has nearly 40. How do I know which one to use for what purpose? The certs.c file has these certificate char[]'s: mbedtls_test_ca_crt_ec mbedtls_test_srv_crt_ec mbedtls_test_cli_crt_ec mbedtls_test_ca_crt_rsa mbedtls_test_ca_crt_rsa mbedtls_test_srv_crt_rsa mbedtls_test_cli_crt_rsa I'm reasonably sure I don't need to replace mbedtls_test_cli_crt_ec and mbedtls_test_cli_crt_rsa, since I am not using a client certificate. But I'm not at all sure about whether I need to replace the 3 *_ca_crt_* certs, the 2 *_srv_crt_* certs, or all 5. And, if so, using which certs from the PEM file to replace which certs in certs.c?. How do I figure out what to do here? I've never dealt with cloud communication like this before, so please pardon my ignorance; I'm eager to learn, but overwhelmed by so much that is new to me.

Re: [mbed-tls] Using mbed without a client certificate

by Manuel Pegourie-Gonnard

Hi Jeff, if you don't want to provision a client certificate in your TLS client, all you have to do is to not call `mbedtls_ssl_conf_own_cert()` in your client code. Then the library will send an empty certificate list as required by the standard. Actually in the example code you have, if you look at the second and third argument in the call to `mbedtls_ssl_conf_own_cert()`, you should be able to remove all references to those arguments, and end up with a functional example without client certificates. Also, you might want to have a look at this example from our source, which is a simple client without client-side certificates: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/blob/development/programs/ssl/ssl_client… Hope that helps, Manuel. ________________________________ From: mbed-tls <mbed-tls-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> on behalf of Thompson, Jeff via mbed-tls <mbed-tls(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Sent: 22 June 2020 16:03 To: 'mbed-tls(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org' <mbed-tls(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [mbed-tls] Using mbed without a client certificate I'm usiing: #define MBEDTLS_VERSION_NUMBER 0x020D0100 #define MBEDTLS_VERSION_STRING "2.13.1" #define MBEDTLS_VERSION_STRING_FULL "mbed TLS 2.13.1" According to RFC5246: If no suitable certificate is available, the client MUST send a certificate message containing no certificates.

Re: [mbed-tls] BLE and Mbed TLS

by Janos Follath

Hi, The packet size limitations can be accommodated by using the Maximum Fragment Length extension (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6066#section-4, enabled by MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_FRAGMENT_LENGTH in Mbed TLS). In Mbed TLS this is only implemented for application data and DTLS handshake messages so far, and therefore you will need to use DTLS. Also the negotiation is driven by the client and it needs to be enabled both on the server and on the client. (See the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_frag_len() for more details.)

When I googled, I figured out that MbedTLS can work on BLE. If someone can share a sample application where-in MbedTLS APIs are used as part of a BT/BLE application, it will be of great help.

Re: [mbed-tls] ECDH set custom private key

by Manuel Pegourie-Gonnard

Hi Oleksandr, I understand you want to validate your implementation against the test vectors in the cited reference. It's obvious, but just in case my reply is read out of context some day, I want to emphasize: what I'm recommending below is for testing purposes only, importing a private key from a public reference must never be done in production. In your situation the simplest way to proceed is probably to directly import the private and public key from the test vector to your ECDH context. For example (assuming the data in the reference is big-endian, and omitting error checking for brevity): static unsigned char private_a[32] = { 0x3f, 0x49, /* ... from the reference */ }; static unsigned char public_a[65] = { 0x04, /* this special value marks the start of an uncompressed public key */ 0x20, 0xb0, /* ... (public A(x) from the reference) */ 0xdc, 0x80, /* ... (public B(x) from the reference) */ }; static mbedtls_ecdh_context ctx_a; mbedtls_ecdh_init(&ctx_a); /* load the private/public key pair * this replaces mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public() */ mbedtls_mpi_read_binary( &ctx_a->d, private_a, sizeof( private_a ) ); /* should check errors! */ mbedtls_ecp_point_read_binary( &ctx_a->Q, public_a, sizeof( public_a ) ); /* should check errors! */ Doing the same with ctx_b and then exchanging public keys and computing the shared secret as usual, you should obtain values that match the reference. Again, this is only for validating against known test vectors. Importing a private key from a public reference must never be done in production. Hope that helps, Manuel. ________________________________ From: mbed-tls <mbed-tls-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> on behalf of Oleksandr Nychyporuk via mbed-tls <mbed-tls(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Sent: 22 June 2020 15:33 To: mbed-tls(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <mbed-tls(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [mbed-tls] ECDH set custom private key Hi, I wanna configure the ECDH algorithm to repeat the following keys: [image.png] I was able to configure the algorithm, generate private and public keys on both: client and server sides. And it works as expected. The secret keys are equal on both sides. But I did not manage to calculate the secret key that is on the picture. I do not know how to set these private keys. Could someone help me to do that? Thanks,
