Different performance from 2.6.2 to 3.6.2 for https file upload

by Stefano Tebaldi

Hello, I recently updated mbedTLS library version 2.6.2 to 3.6.2. I am using the library to add https to Mongoose web server on a STM32H753 with FreeRTOS + LWIP. 2.6.2 was generated in a IAR project using STMCubeMX. What I am noticing is that file transfer performance has gotten much worse. With version 2.6.2 it took a few minutes to transfer a file of around 33 MB, now with version 3.6.2 it takes around 15 min. What could this depend on? Attached is the configuration used for the two versions. The certificate for https is EC curve secp256r1. Thank you

[Mbed-tls-announce] Mbed TLS 4.0/TF-PSA Crypto 1.0 release timeline

by Janos Follath via Mbed-tls-announce

Dear Mbed TLS and PSA Crypto users, We would like to update you on the release timeline for Mbed TLS 4.0/TF-PSACrypto1.0 release. As a reminder, the key objectives of the release are a separate TF-PSA Crypto repo., PSA Crypto becoming the de facto Crypto API and Mbed TLS using PSA Crypto APIs as the crypto API by default. While TF-PSA Crypto repository is now available, the remaining effort to be ready for the release is more than we originally planned for. Based on remaining effort estimates, we plan to make Mbed TLS 4.0-Beta and TF-PSA Crypto 1.0-Beta release around end of June. The Mbed TLS 4.0, and TF-PSA Crypto 1.0 release is expected around end of September. We don’t expect users to integrate the Beta release. Beta is aimed to pipeclean the separate Mbed TLS and TF-PSA Crypto release process and get any early feedback. The release in September is expected to be integrated by users to their projects. We wanted to provide these revised release dates so that the users can plan accordingly. In the meantime, bug fixes and security fixes will continue to be provided via. Mbed TLS 3.6.x LTS releases. Thanks, Mbed TLS/PSA Crypto Maintainers. -- Mbed-tls-announce mailing list -- mbed-tls-announce(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org To unsubscribe send an email to mbed-tls-announce-leave(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org

Support for Quantum Safe Algorithms

by NAYNA JAIN

Hi MbedTLS team, I have been following up the MbedTLS roadmap from here - https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/project/roadmap/ . It talks about Post Quantum Cryptography support in future. And in the section of Long Term Plans for MbedTLS, I see the note related to PQC as "Regarding post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in particular, we do plan to wait until there are official standards: as of 2023, apart from stateful hash-based signatures, there are too many open questions about selected algorithms (choice of parameters, data formats, hybrid combinations…). This note seems to be pretty old as it refers to 2023.. So, are there any latest update on the roadmap? Is there any plan to support latest NIST standardized algorithms (ML-DSA, ML-KEM, SLH-DSA) in this year or next year. Thanks & Regards, * Nayna

Using mbedTLS for TLS&X509 with a separate PSA Crypto Implementation

by Zak, Kevin

Hello mbedtls mailing list, I'm working to modify mbedTLS (3.6.2) to use our PSA Crypto Implementation in a separate library. Our solution does not make use of PSA 'drivers' that mbedTLS refers to. I've modified makefiles to not build PSA Crypto files, and have enabled MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C & MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO. I've also defined MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_ALG_XXX for our supported algorithms. 1. Is there a good way to determine whether a given TLS/X509 configuration would require a certain 'legacy' (maybe a better term is 'non-PSA') crypto file to be built into the mbedTLS library? * The goal is to build as few crypto source files into the mbedTLS source files as possible, maximizing usage of our separate PSA implementation 2. Example: My test application using mbedtls_x509_crt_parse() receives linking errors for mbedtls_ecp_(group/point)_xxx() and mbedtls_mpi_xxx() that are referenced in pkparse.c (which I am building into the library). * Ecp.c is currently excluded from the build (as is its define) - if I add it, I add significantly more linking errors for mbedtls_mpi APIs. I was under the impression that ECP and MPI APIs could be avoided with the correct configuration. * If ecp/mpi helper APIs are needed still for x509, this would be good to know. However, I'd like to avoid usage of MPI APIs that perform actual software calculations. See the screenshot for a list of non-PSA crypto files I am currently building to test with. I imagine I may have to add more incrementally. [cid:image001.png@01DB726D.879014D0] Any insights on this general use case or my ECP troubles with x509 would be appreciated. I plan to extend the strategy as these are the findings from an attempt to use just one x509 API. Best, Kevin Zak

Use mbedtls_gcm_auth_decrypt get wrong tag

by Elva Huang

Dear mbed TLS team, Recently, while debugging my code, I encountered an issue when using the AES-GCM algorithm. I found that when calling the mbedtls_gcm_auth_decrypt interface in version 3.6.1, the calculated tag consistently does not match the input tag. However, when using the same interface in version 2.28.2, the tag is successfully calculated as expected. Below is the demo code we are using: tstSecKeyList g_stPreInterKey = { .u8KeyNum = 5U, .u8IsUse = 1U, .u16KeyLen = 16U, .u16IVLen = 12U, .u16AddLen = 16U, .enuSecType = SEC_AES_GCM, .au8Key = { 0x68U, 0xffU, 0xb7U, 0xffU, 0x5eU, 0xffU, 0x10U, 0xffU, 0x9eU, 0xffU, 0xb8U, 0xffU, 0x01U, 0xffU, 0xb9U, 0xffU, 0xa0U, 0xffU, 0x1cU, 0xffU, 0xdfU, 0xffU, 0x0aU, 0xffU, 0xe6U, 0xffU, 0xc8U, 0xffU, 0xc5U, 0xffU, 0x39U, 0xffU }, .au8Iv = { 0x3, 0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x4, 0x5, 0x6, 0x7, 0x0, 0x1, 0x2, 0x3 }, .au8Add = { 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 } .u16AddLen = 0, }; static uint8_t s_au8SecMemoryBuffer[6*1024]; mbedtls_gcm_context aesGcmContext; uint8_t *pau8EncryptedPlain = inParam0; (note: inParam0=434421d30c9abf31b96d2d28d00b5cb4e6fe84033999d53d3a50674b3aedd81f) uint8_t *pau8AesTag = inParam0 + 16; (e6fe84033999d53d3a50674b3aedd81f) uint8_t u8EncryptedPlainLen = 16; uint8_t u8AesTagKeyLen = 16; mbedtls_gcm_init(&aesGcmContext); mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init(s_au8SecMemoryBuffer, 6*1024); vidPreInterKeyget(g_stPreInterKey.au8Key, au8preInterKey); mbedtls_gcm_setkey(&aesGcmContext, MBEDTLS_CIPHER_ID_AES, au8preInterKey, 16*8); s32Ret = mbedtls_gcm_auth_decrypt(&aesGcmContext, u8EncryptedPlainLen, g_stPreInterKey.au8Iv, g_stPreInterKey.u16IVLen, g_stPreInterKey.au8Add, g_stPreInterKey.u16AddLen, pau8AesTag, u8AesTagKeyLen, pau8EncryptedPlain, s_au8DecryptKey); Best regards,

Question Regarding Change Cipher Spec States in the TLS 1.3 Handshake Protocol

by 千山啼祢

Dear Developer, I was reviewing the code and noticed that in the TLS 1.3 handshake protocol state machine, the "Change Cipher Spec" state has been divided into five different states based on its occurrence timing. Could you please clarify if there are any specific considerations for this approach? Additionally, these states can appear multiple times during a single handshake, which implies multiple "Change Cipher Spec" messages. However, the TLS 1.3 standard suggests that the "Change Cipher Spec" should only appear once in a single handshake. Could you kindly explain the rationale behind this design decision? Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response. Best regards, XiangDong Li

Inquiry Regarding mbedTLS v2.16.2 Compatibility for Secure MQTT Connection on STM32CubeIDE

by Noushad

Hello, I am currently working on a project using STM32CubeIDE, where I am leveraging mbedTLS v2.16.2 to establish a secure MQTT connection with a Mosquitto broker on port 8883. During my implementation, I encountered a TLS handshake error with the following details: mbedtls_ssl_handshake failed. -29312 (-0x7280) I would like to confirm if mbedTLS v2.16.2, as provided in STM32CubeIDE, supports secure TLS connections (e.g., Secure MQTT) and is compatible with Mosquitto broker configurations. Additionally, I would appreciate guidance on resolving this error. Here are some specific details about my setup: 1. mbedTLS version: 2.16.2 (as integrated into STM32CubeIDE). 2. Broker: Mosquitto, configured for secure MQTT on port 8883. 3. Issue: TLS handshake fails with the error mentioned above. 4. Certificates: [CA certificates, ]. Please let me know if additional information Regards, Noushad Embedded systems engineer Inthings Technologies Private Limited www.inthings.tech<http://www.inthings.tech> [cid:image001.png@01DB65BA.1F5B9660]

Heap and stack usage information

by Michael Thomas

Hi, I am trying to determine what would be an optimal stack and heap allocation for mbedtls. I realize this changes with algorithms, some configuration macros for the algorithms as well as concurrency. But is there any information on stack and heap usage that I can use as a starting point? And is there any information on the same for a crypto suite.
