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?

Re: [mbed-tls] Failures: all_sh-ubuntu-16.04-test_memory_buffer_allocator

by Gilles Peskine

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. It's unusual for the memory_buffer tests to fail when memory sanitizers are passing, so I don't know what's going on. -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 16/02/2021 11:13, Gábor Tóth via mbed-tls wrote: > 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).

Failures: all_sh-ubuntu-16.04-test_memory_buffer_allocator

by Gábor Tóth

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?

by Shariful Alam

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.

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)

by Gilles Peskine

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 .

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 >

Re: [mbed-tls] DTLS Mutual authentication

by Manuel Pegourie-Gonnard

Dear Farhad, Sure, the thing you need to do is to call mbedtls_ssl_conf_authmode( conf, MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_REQUIRED ) where conf is the ssl_config of the server. For more details, see that function's documentation (in ssl.h). For an example, see the command-line option auth_mode in programs/ssl/ssl_server2.c. Hope this helps!

Re: [mbed-tls] [Mbed-tls-announce] Mbed TLS 3.0 plans

by Dave Rodgman

Hello, We've now created the branch to allow Mbed TLS 3.0 development to begin. Mbed TLS 3.0 development will take place on development_3.0 in the short term. Mbed TLS 2.x development will continue on development. We'll regularly merge changes to development into development_3.0 so that they stay aligned. At the point of the release of Mbed TLS 2.26, we will rename development to become mbedtls-2.26 and rename development_3.0 to become development, so that the focus for new work becomes the upcoming Mbed TLS 3.0 release. Regards, Dave Rodgman On 17/12/2020, 10:04, "Mbed-tls-announce on behalf of Dave Rodgman via Mbed-tls-announce" <mbed-tls-announce-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org on behalf of Mbed-tls-announce(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> wrote: Hello, We are planning to release Mbed TLS 3.0 around June 2021, alongside an LTS release of Mbed TLS 2.x. Our major version numbers indicate API breaking changes, and this is no exception: Mbed TLS 3.0 will have changes that make it incompatible with 2.x (as an obvious example, functions that are deprecated in 2.x will be removed). In setting a near-term release date, we have chosen some key areas that we want to focus on for 3.0. Some other API-breaking items (i.e., those requiring significant design time) won't make the cut and we will hold those back for a future major version, in order to have time to get them right. The main focus for 3.0 will be reduction in API surface, and changes that are low-impact for almost everyone. Work towards 3.0 will start in late January, on the development branch which will contain a public work-in-progress view of Mbed TLS 3.0. Any work for 2.x in this timeframe will take place on a separate branch (provisionally named like "mbedtls-2.x"). During the 3.0 development period, bug fixes and security fixes will continue to be a priority, but we will have slightly less capacity for other features. While 3.0 is in development, any new features will by default be landed in 3.0 only, unless there is a strong case for back-porting to 2.x. The 2.x LTS branches will still be supported with bug fixes and security fixes for the normal three year lifetime (i.e., the final LTS release of 2.x in mid-2021 will be supported until mid-2024). In terms of content, we are taking a cautious approach to what we plan for 3.0. In the past we've been ambitious here and as a result, have slipped on the release date; by being cautious on feature set we can be confident about hitting the mid-year release date. We won't try to make all of the changes that would be nice-to-have; instead, we will focus on tasks that reduce maintenance, unlock other improvements in a 3.x timeframe, are still valuable if only partially completed, and can fit within this time frame. Currently we're looking at the following areas for 3.0: * Reduce the public surface of the API * Clean-up existing APIs * Changes to default options Regards Dave Rodgman -- Mbed-tls-announce mailing list Mbed-tls-announce(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/mailman/listinfo/mbed-tls-announce

It uses SHA-512 if present and SHA-256 otherwise. Depending on the hash function, the entropy module can return either up to 64 bytes (SHA-512) or 32 bytes (SHA-256). The CTR_DRBG module knows about this and requests only 32 bytes at a time if the entropy module only delivers 32 bytes at a time. It looks like something goes wrong when CTR_DRBG tries to request 64 bytes. This could be, for example, because a buffer is too small somewhere, or because of a limitation of the entropy source. You would need to debug the call to mbedtls_entropy_func to know more. As a workaround, you can enable MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_FORCE_SHA256. Then the entropy module will use SHA-256 (even if MBEDTLS_SHA512_C is enabled) and only return 32 bytes at a time, and CTR_DRBG understands this and will only request 32 bytes. -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 27/01/2021 06:08, T V LIJIN (EXT) via mbed-tls wrote: > Hi, > After enabling *MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY* and*MBEDTLS_SHA512_C* , > /mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed/ is returning *0x0034 > */(MBEDTLS_ERR_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_SOURCE_FAILED)/ > But if I just enable *MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY* and keep > *MBEDTLS_SHA512_C* disabled, it does not return any error for > /mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed./ / / My project uses certificates with SHA384 > signature, so it requires***MBEDTLS_SHA512_C *to be enabled. > /*MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY* and*MBEDTLS_SHA512_C* /both needs to be > enabled in my project , but Iam facing issue with > mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed returning 0x0034.

The default configuration enables most cryptographic mechanisms, but typical constrained systems usually only need a few.

Re: [mbed-tls] Reduce mbedTLS memory and storage footprint

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, The most important thing is to make sure you've disabled all the features you don't need in config.h. The default configuration enables most cryptographic mechanisms, but typical constrained systems usually only need a few. If your toolchain supports it, use link-time optimization (e.g. gcc -Os -flto or clang -Oz -flto). I've seen that this makes a significant improvement for Mbed TLS (I got -30% on one build, obviously the numbers depend heavily on the configuration and the compiler).

Re: [mbed-tls] ENTROPY_SOURCE_FAILED :0x0034

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, The entropy module uses a hash to mix the entropy. It uses SHA-512 if present and SHA-256 otherwise. Depending on the hash function, the entropy module can return either up to 64 bytes (SHA-512) or 32 bytes (SHA-256). The CTR_DRBG module knows about this and requests only 32 bytes at a time if the entropy module only delivers 32 bytes at a time. It looks like something goes wrong when CTR_DRBG tries to request 64 bytes. This could be, for example, because a buffer is too small somewhere, or because of a limitation of the entropy source. You would need to debug the call to mbedtls_entropy_func to know more. As a workaround, you can enable MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_FORCE_SHA256. Then the entropy module will use SHA-256 (even if MBEDTLS_SHA512_C is enabled) and only return 32 bytes at a time, and CTR_DRBG understands this and will only request 32 bytes. -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 27/01/2021 06:08, T V LIJIN (EXT) via mbed-tls wrote: > Hi, > After enabling *MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY* and*MBEDTLS_SHA512_C* , > /mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed/ is returning *0x0034 > */(MBEDTLS_ERR_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_SOURCE_FAILED)/ > But if I just enable *MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY* and keep > *MBEDTLS_SHA512_C* disabled, it does not return any error for > /mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed./ > / > / > My project uses certificates with SHA384 signature, so it > requires***MBEDTLS_SHA512_C *to be enabled. > /*MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY* and*MBEDTLS_SHA512_C* /both needs to be > enabled in my project , but Iam facing issue with > mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed returning 0x0034.

ENTROPY_SOURCE_FAILED :0x0034

by T V LIJIN (EXT)

Hi, After enabling MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY and MBEDTLS_SHA512_C , mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed is returning 0x0034 (MBEDTLS_ERR_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_SOURCE_FAILED) But if I just enable MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY and keep MBEDTLS_SHA512_C disabled, it does not return any error for mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed. My project uses certificates with SHA384 signature, so it requires MBEDTLS_SHA512_C to be enabled. MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY and MBEDTLS_SHA512_C both needs to be enabled in my project , but Iam facing issue with mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed returning 0x0034. Please guide me on this. What might be the reason for mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed to fail while enabling MBEDTLS_SHA512_C. How to overcome this issue? Thanks, LIJIN T V

Devices acting as Both Client and Server

by saghili

Dear, In our project, our device should act as both client and server. Is it possible for both TLS and DTLS? If yes, how about the certificate? Do we need only 2 certs for this divice (one for the server role and one for the client role)? Best regards, Farhad

Mbed TLS 2.7 end of support

by Dave Rodgman

This is a notice that Mbed TLS 2.7 will no longer be supported or maintained after February 5th 2021. Mbed TLS 2.7.0 was released on February 5th 2018 with a three year support period. The current version of Mbed TLS 2.7 is 2.7.18, which was released on December 11th 2020. There are no pending bug or security fixes, so unless new issues arise during the next month, there will not be another release of 2.7. We do not plan to merge any non-critical backports to 2.7 in the next month. We recommend that where practical, users upgrade to either 2.16, which will be supported until the end of 2021, or to the development branch, which will be released as an LTS in mid 2021, with an expected support period until mid 2024.

Add support to delegate cert verification to application

by Junqi Wang

Hi, Hanno suggested me to post our discussion here: We use mbedtls in Facebook family apps. One of missing features is the ability to delegate cert verification to application. Hanno has pointed us to a similar ask in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/2091 We implemented cert verification process in Android/java and iOS/objective-C. Having this feature enables us to use the OS module for cert verification. The motivation is reduced maintenance cost. Some mobile APPs use OS TLS stack (rather than bundle mbedtls or openssl in the binary), so we have to maintain our OS-specific cert verification modules anyways. It’ll be ideal if we only keep the Android and iOS implementations as source of truth. Any thoughts on supporting this? Thanks, Junqi

DTLS Connection-ID update - potential issue for large-scale deployments

by Manuel Pegourie-Gonnard

Hi all, Back in June 2019, we added support for the experimental DTLS Connection ID extension in Mbed TLS 2.18.0. This extension makes it possible to keep a connection alive even when the client's connectivity changes (eg new IP address). Since this was based on a draft rather than an established standard, it is disabled in the default config, and the option to enable it comes with a warning about us not being able to make any stability promises. As it turns out, a couple of months ago an extension number was assigned by IANA for this extension, which is different from the one we picked up when implementing the draft, so we'll have to change that in a future version of Mbed TLS. This change is trivial to do but would break compatibility in the following sense: and old client and a new server (or a new client and a new server) would no longer be able to negotiate this extension; only old-old and new-new would work. (Thanks to Achim Kraus for bringing that to our attention by the way: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/3892 ) One obvious solution to that issue would be to make sure all users upgrade all the clients and the servers at the same time. This can probably be managed in a development/testing environment as well as some tightly controlled production environments, but is probably less suitable for large-scale deployments where clients and servers might not even be manged by the same party. So, before we plan this changed, we'll like to know if anyone already has a production deployment relying on Connection ID where updating all the clients and servers at the same time would not be an option. If that is the case, we may consider implementing a compatibility mode that would allow a server to negotiate use of the extension with both old and new clients. However, such compatibility code would be non-standard and a testing burden (not to mention, significantly more work that just updating the relevant #define), so that's something we'd like to avoid doing unless we know that there is an actual need for it. Please let us know what you think by replying to this email either on-list, or privately if you'd rather not share deployment information publicly (in that case, please mention it explicitly so that we know you didn't just forget to Cc the list). Thanks, Manuel

We think this is more like an interoperability issue, we found this issue during we developing webserver feature using MBEDTLS. Google Chrome treat such certificate as invalid.

Using above root certificate to sign a device certificate which also using ECC256 as its private key. (using genKey and certWrite program of MBEDTLS) 3. Install root certificate so Chrome can see it. 4. using Nginx or some other opensource web server, modify its configuration so it will use the device certificate and corresponding private key as the ciphers to setup TLS communication. 5. Open Chrome and visit default Nginx web page(or some other web server tools’ default web page), you can see Chrome won’t let user to continue because it treat the device certificate as invalid. 6. According to our test, Chrome has this issue, fire fox, IE, etc. doesn’t have this issue. 7.

Our behaviour is not conformant, and this should be fixed. Just to help us evaluate the severity of the issue, I'd like to know if this is something you found by inspecting the generated certificate yourself, or if it caused the generate certificate to be rejected by some other X.509 implementation or verification tool.

Regarding your fix, I think it works as long as you are only generating ECC-signed X.509 certificates, but as you suggest, I'm afraid it only fixes the problem by creating another one: it would suppress the NULL parameters for RSA as well, but unfortunately, they're mandatory there (I wish the standards were more consistent).

Mbed TLS 3.0 plans

by Dave Rodgman

Hello, We are planning to release Mbed TLS 3.0 around June 2021, alongside an LTS release of Mbed TLS 2.x. Our major version numbers indicate API breaking changes, and this is no exception: Mbed TLS 3.0 will have changes that make it incompatible with 2.x (as an obvious example, functions that are deprecated in 2.x will be removed). In setting a near-term release date, we have chosen some key areas that we want to focus on for 3.0. Some other API-breaking items (i.e., those requiring significant design time) won't make the cut and we will hold those back for a future major version, in order to have time to get them right. The main focus for 3.0 will be reduction in API surface, and changes that are low-impact for almost everyone. Work towards 3.0 will start in late January, on the development branch which will contain a public work-in-progress view of Mbed TLS 3.0. Any work for 2.x in this timeframe will take place on a separate branch (provisionally named like "mbedtls-2.x"). During the 3.0 development period, bug fixes and security fixes will continue to be a priority, but we will have slightly less capacity for other features. While 3.0 is in development, any new features will by default be landed in 3.0 only, unless there is a strong case for back-porting to 2.x. The 2.x LTS branches will still be supported with bug fixes and security fixes for the normal three year lifetime (i.e., the final LTS release of 2.x in mid-2021 will be supported until mid-2024). In terms of content, we are taking a cautious approach to what we plan for 3.0. In the past we've been ambitious here and as a result, have slipped on the release date; by being cautious on feature set we can be confident about hitting the mid-year release date. We won't try to make all of the changes that would be nice-to-have; instead, we will focus on tasks that reduce maintenance, unlock other improvements in a 3.x timeframe, are still valuable if only partially completed, and can fit within this time frame. Currently we're looking at the following areas for 3.0: * Reduce the public surface of the API * Clean-up existing APIs * Changes to default options Regards Dave Rodgman

Re: [mbed-tls] "Reordering" in DTLS

by Manuel Pegourie-Gonnard

Hi Farhad, I think for this question as well as the "packets lost" question, it's important to distinguish two phases of a DTLS connection: initially there's a handshake (to negotiate and establish security parameters and session keys), and then application data can be exchanged. Application data is what's passed to `mbedtls_ssl_write()` or written by `mbedtls_ssl_read()` (depending on whether you're the sender or receiver) - this can only happen once the handshake is completed. During the handshake, there are indeed mechanisms to re-order packets that were received out of order and also retransmit packets that were lost. But that's only during the handshake (because it's a lockstep process where everything needs to happen in order), and only for data that's purely internal to the DTLS protocol and never seen by the application. Once the handshake is completed and application data starts to be exchanged, there is no longer any kind of re-ordering or retransmission mechanism. The reason is, as you guessed, DTLS aims to provide similar properties to UDP - with cryptographic security in addition. So, if you send something with `mbedtls_ssl_write()` and the record gets lost, the DTLS protocol won't even know about it, and no retransmission will happen. If record N+1 arrives before record N, the DTLS protocol will know but do nothing, and just deliver the records in the order they arrived. Again, as you said, doing otherwise would introduce latency and be contrary to the goals of DTLS - people who want reliability at the expense of latency should use TLS. The main exception to that principle that you can expect DTLS to behave like UDP is duplicated records: the DTLS protocol provide optional replay protection (that is, if record N arrives twice, the second occurrence is dropped). In Mbed TLS, this mechanism is enabled by default but can be disabled at compile-time by not defining MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_ANTI_REPLAY in config.h, or at runtime by calling mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_anti_replay(). I hope this answers your questions. Regards, Manuel. ________________________________ From: mbed-tls <mbed-tls-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> on behalf of saghili via mbed-tls <mbed-tls(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Sent: 10 December 2020 18:31 To: mbed-tls(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <mbed-tls(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [mbed-tls] "Reordering" in DTLS Hello, I have a question about DTLS. One thing that is not entirely clear to me from the RFC is this: suppose 2 records are received within a "short" period, e.g. seq# N+1 followed by seq# N. In this case, what does DTLS do? My understanding is that it will pass on packets in the order it was received (i.e. out of order). But it can (should?) re-order at the DTLS layer and pass them on to the upper layer in the right order. HOWEVER, this implies that the DTLS "wait" for a certain window to see if the seq#=N packet arrives or not. But doing so introduces additional delay at DTLS layer and also contradicts with the UDP principle (i.e. no concept of order). Could you please give me a hint regarding this issue?

"Reordering" in DTLS

by saghili

Hello, I have a question about DTLS. One thing that is not entirely clear to me from the RFC is this: suppose 2 records are received within a "short" period, e.g. seq# N+1 followed by seq# N. In this case, what does DTLS do? My understanding is that it will pass on packets in the order it was received (i.e. out of order). But it can (should?) re-order at the DTLS layer and pass them on to the upper layer in the right order. HOWEVER, this implies that the DTLS "wait" for a certain window to see if the seq#=N packet arrives or not. But doing so introduces additional delay at DTLS layer and also contradicts with the UDP principle (i.e. no concept of order). Could you please give me a hint regarding this issue? Best regards, Farhad

"packets lost" in DTLS in "Record" layer

by saghili

Hello, I have a question about DTLS. Because of the latency, I need to disable the "packets lost" feature. Does MbedTLS provide the flag that we can disable resending the packet in case of the packet lost? For instance, if I have 3 packets 42, 43, and 44, is it possible to decrypt packet 44 without receiving packets 42 and 43? It will be in the "Record" layer. Thank you. Best regards, Farhad

Re: [mbed-tls] mbedtls undefined behaviour

by Сысоев Андрей

Thank you for quick response. > Are you using blocking or non-blocking I/O? Non-blocking IO I've preset bio_send/recv callbacks I have pair of buffers, transport buffer and application buffer, for reading and writing (4 buffers total). Application buffers are protected by mutexes. Transport buffers are written/read in bio_send/recv (if no async op pending, otherwise WANT_READ/WRITE). mbedtls_ssl_xxx work with application buffers. > Are you using TLS or DTLS? What protocol version, what cipher suite and what extensions are negotiated? TLS (over tcp, no lossy channel involved) version 1.2 > Does your application call mbedtls_ssl_write() and mbedtls_ssl_read() again with the same buffer if they return MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ or MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_WRITE? Well, actually, no. AND it's quite possible, that application outgoing buffer (std::vector) has been relocated between mbedtls_ssl_write calls, because app could push data several times while async op was pending and bio_send returned WANT_WRITE, causing these buffers to resize. So buf.data() will not be equal to that from previous mbedtls_ssl_write call. Is this what causes trouble? It's somehow connected to partial sends? I do call ssl_write inside while-loop, counting sent and unsent bytes - thought this was enough. But if mbedtls somehow remembers addresses from previos calls - that might cause problems. > Do you close the TLS connection if mbedtls_ssl_xxx() returns an error other than WANT_XXX (or XXX_IN_PROGRESS if you use these features)? Yes, but that never happens (from handshake to until problem appears) > What is the value of MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN (or MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN if it's defined)? Not defined in config, looks like both 16834 >What operating system are you using? Ubuntu 20, Kali 20 > Is this a client or a server? What TLS stack does the other side run? Both are written same way, both using same library. I'll try to prepare test-case code, that reproduces the problem, and logs, but that will require some time. 10.12.2020 1:07, Gilles Peskine via mbed-tls пишет: > Hi Андрей, > > The behavior you describe is a bug.

Re: [mbed-tls] mbedtls undefined behaviour

by Gilles Peskine

By the way, I notice you're using Mbed TLS 2.16.3. This version has known bugs, including security issues. Please upgrade to the latest Mbed TLS 2.16.x (currently 2.16.8, very soon 2.16.9) which is a security and bugfix update, or to the latest release (2.24.0, soon 2.25.0) which has all the latest bugfixes and features. Looking at the changelog, I don't see any mention of a bug that could explain your problem, but I might have missed something. -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 09/12/2020 22:17, Сысоев Андрей via mbed-tls wrote: > Hello. > > I need a little help with mbedtls 2.16.3. > I'm using it under x86-64 with asio-standalone. > > Here's a standard situation: > - I call mbedtls_ssl_write() to write let's say 8192 bytes of payload > - it calls my own bio_send() with (8192+21) bytes as len parameter > - bio_send() returns len=(8192+21), indicating transport data > correctly written > - mbedtls_ssl_write() returns 8192, indicating payload send > GOOD: next I use this value to shift application buffer (erase first > 8192 bytes), then send next chunk > > BUT after some time of running this situation happens: > - once again, a call to mbedtls_ssl_write() to write let's say 8192 > bytes of payload > - it calls bio_send() with smaller number, about 5500 bytes as len > parameter (?? but OK) > - bio_send() returns len=5500, indicating transport data correctly > written > - mbedtls_ssl_write() returns 8192 (??? why not 5500 ???), indicating > payload send > BAD: next I use this value to shift application buffer (erase first > 8192 bytes), this leads to data loss of (8192-5500)=2692 bytes and > ruins protocol > > As you can see, mbedtls_ssl_write() incorrectly reports about sent > application data (8192 instead of 5500) - is this a bug?

Re: [mbed-tls] mbedtls undefined behaviour

by Gilles Peskine

Hi Андрей, The behavior you describe is a bug. But there isn't enough information to tell whether the bug is in Mbed TLS, in asio-standalone, in some other third-party code, or in your application. Some things to consider: * Are you using blocking or non-blocking I/O? * Are you using TLS or DTLS? What protocol version, what cipher suite and what extensions are negotiated? * Does your application call mbedtls_ssl_write() and mbedtls_ssl_read() again with the same buffer if they return MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ or MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_WRITE? * Do you close the TLS connection if mbedtls_ssl_xxx() returns an error other than WANT_XXX (or XXX_IN_PROGRESS if you use these features)? * What is the value of MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN (or MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN if it's defined)? * What operating system are you using? * Is this a client or a server? What TLS stack does the other side run? You'll give others the most chance to help you if you post small, complete code to reproduce the problem. I realize this may be difficult. A good intermediate way to see what is going on would be to post debug logs. To get debug logs, make sure that MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C is enabled and call these functions before opening the TLS connection: mbedtls_ssl_conf_dbg(&ssl_conf, my_debug, stdout); mbedtls_debug_set_threshold(2); See https://tls.mbed.org/kb/how-to/mbedtls-tutorial for a sample version of my_debug(). Calls to bio_send() are shown in the logs as => flush output message length: %d, out_left: %d ssl->f_send() returned %d <= flush output If they don't show expected numbers, the rest of the logs should give a clue as to why. Hope this helps, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 09/12/2020 22:17, Сысоев Андрей via mbed-tls wrote: > Hello. > > I need a little help with mbedtls 2.16.3. > I'm using it under x86-64 with asio-standalone. > > Here's a standard situation: > - I call mbedtls_ssl_write() to write let's say 8192 bytes of payload > - it calls my own bio_send() with (8192+21) bytes as len parameter > - bio_send() returns len=(8192+21), indicating transport data > correctly written > - mbedtls_ssl_write() returns 8192, indicating payload send > GOOD: next I use this value to shift application buffer (erase first > 8192 bytes), then send next chunk > > BUT after some time of running this situation happens: > - once again, a call to mbedtls_ssl_write() to write let's say 8192 > bytes of payload > - it calls bio_send() with smaller number, about 5500 bytes as len > parameter (?? but OK) > - bio_send() returns len=5500, indicating transport data correctly > written > - mbedtls_ssl_write() returns 8192 (??? why not 5500 ???), indicating > payload send > BAD: next I use this value to shift application buffer (erase first > 8192 bytes), this leads to data loss of (8192-5500)=2692 bytes and > ruins protocol > > As you can see, mbedtls_ssl_write() incorrectly reports about sent > application data (8192 instead of 5500) - is this a bug?

mbedtls undefined behaviour

by Сысоев Андрей

Hello. I need a little help with mbedtls 2.16.3. I'm using it under x86-64 with asio-standalone. Here's a standard situation: - I call mbedtls_ssl_write() to write let's say 8192 bytes of payload - it calls my own bio_send() with (8192+21) bytes as len parameter - bio_send() returns len=(8192+21), indicating transport data correctly written - mbedtls_ssl_write() returns 8192, indicating payload send GOOD: next I use this value to shift application buffer (erase first 8192 bytes), then send next chunk BUT after some time of running this situation happens: - once again, a call to mbedtls_ssl_write() to write let's say 8192 bytes of payload - it calls bio_send() with smaller number, about 5500 bytes as len parameter (?? but OK) - bio_send() returns len=5500, indicating transport data correctly written - mbedtls_ssl_write() returns 8192 (??? why not 5500 ???), indicating payload send BAD: next I use this value to shift application buffer (erase first 8192 bytes), this leads to data loss of (8192-5500)=2692 bytes and ruins protocol As you can see, mbedtls_ssl_write() incorrectly reports about sent application data (8192 instead of 5500) - is this a bug? How can such situation happen under normal operation? Thanks in advance.

Re: [mbed-tls] Implementing MbedTLS on "xilinx zu7 zynq ultrascale+soc"

by Gilles Peskine

Hi Farhad, Mbed TLS currently supports hardware acceleration through alternative implementations of the corresponding modules or functions. See https://tls.mbed.org/kb/development/hw_acc_guidelines . This mechanism is available for symmetric cryptography and partially for RSA and ECC. There is some work in progress on a new mechanism for hardware acceleration through the psa_xxx() API, which will be available for all algorithms. You can follow the work in progress on the “Unified driver interface: API design and prototype” epic at https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/projects/2#column-8543266 . Hope this helps, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 04/12/2020 11:20, saghili via mbed-tls wrote: > Dear Sir/Madam, > > Our platform is a quad core Cortex A53 running PetaLinux. > In our hardware, "AF_ALG" module has performance accelerations > available through the Linux crypto drivers. > Is it possible that we have "AF_ALG" for offloading crypto operations? > > Best regards, > Farhad

Implementing MbedTLS on "xilinx zu7 zynq ultrascale+soc"

by saghili

Dear Sir/Madam, Our platform is a quad core Cortex A53 running PetaLinux. In our hardware, "AF_ALG" module has performance accelerations available through the Linux crypto drivers. Is it possible that we have "AF_ALG" for offloading crypto operations? Best regards, Farhad
