Mbed TLS long term support release plans

by Dave Rodgman

Hi, Mbed TLS 2.16 LTS is approaching the end of its support period – it was originally announced that it would be maintained for at least 3 years up until the end of 2021 – and currently there is no other LTS branch. To ensure that there is no period of time without a supported LTS branch, we plan to release 2.28 LTS in the near future (which will have the usual 3 year support period). We will continue supporting 2.16 LTS until this is available. The expectation is that as 2.28 will be API-compatible with 2.16, users of 2.16 LTS will be able to upgrade to 2.28 very easily. Progress towards 2.28 LTS can be followed here: https://github.com/orgs/ARMmbed/projects/18#column-15836286 Dave Rodgman

End of Life of LTS branch 2.16

by Radhika Jandhyala

Hi, I am a maintainer for https://github.com/openenclave/openenclave. We include mbedtls 2.16 as a submodule in our project. Reading the article below, it states that 2.16 support will last at least till Dec 2021. Will you continue to support 2.16 in 2022? https://tls.mbed.org/tech-updates/blog/announcing-lts-branch-mbedtls-2.16 We are specifically interested in CVE fixes being backported to 2.16 and the timeframe where that will continue. Is there an updated timeline for this? We do plan to upgrade to 3.0 in early 2022, but we anticipate that will take some effort due to breaking changes. Thank you very much! Radhika

PSA Crypto non-optional in Mbed TLS 3.1

by Manuel Pegourie-Gonnard

Hi, We'd like to announce a change we intend to make: starting with Mbed TLS 3.1, it will no longer be possible to build with TLS, X.509, or PK without support for PSA Crypto. Details: currently, use of PSA Crypto APIs from the TLS, X.509 and PK layers is controlled by the option MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO. When this option is disabled (which is the default), it's possible to build without MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C. Starting with 3.1, we intend to start making TLS, X.509 and PK use PSA Crypto unconditionally, so MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C will be automatically enabled in the build as soon as TLS, X.509 or PK is enabled. Impact: for users who already build with PSA Crypto enabled (the default), no impact. For users who currently disable MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C in their configuration, starting with 3.1 there will be no functional changes, but the size of the built library will increase due to the additional features enabled. The increase depends on the configuration, application, platform, and toolchain, but the order of magnitude currently ranges from about 9 KB for a minimal TLS configuration with LTO (link-time optimisation) to about 30 KB for a full configuration without link-time garbage collection (though size-constrained devices are very unlikely to use such a configuration); we aim to reduce this overhead in the future. Rationale: maintaining two versions of every cryptographic operation in upper layers (one PSA, one non-PSA) imposes a significant burden on new developments. By removing that burden, we hope to progress faster on things that are more important in the long run, including better integration of PSA Crypto in TLS and X.509, and future code size optimisation of PSA Crypto. We realise the impact on users who were excluding PSA Crypto is significant. We're going to release Mbed TLS 2.28 in the coming months, which is not affected by this change and will receive bug fixes and security fixes for at least 3 years; we hope it provides an acceptable fall-back solution to affected users. In the long run, PSA Crypto will become the only Crypto API we offer; we want to make its footprint as small as possible considering its feature set and we hope this change will enable us to make faster progress towards that goal. Best regards, Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard for the Mbed TLS team.

About `MBEDTLS_ALLOW_PRIVATE_ACCESS`

by Aditya Patwardhan

Hi, While working on updating mbedtls to v3.0, I saw that the internal fields in MBEDTLS have been made private. ( ref- here<https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/blob/development/docs/3.0-migration-guid…>). It says there and I quote "As a last resort, you can access the field foo of a structure bar by writing bar.MBEDTLS_PRIVATE(foo). Note that you do so at your own risk, since such code is likely to break in a future minor version of Mbed TLS.” I just wanted to know if there is any alternative solution to this, rather than using `MBEDTLS_PRIVATE` everywhere. I know the next release of mbedtls probably plans to fix this with appropriate solution. But we wanted to push out our feature branch As early as possible. I saw in the PR<https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/37753> in zephyr RTOS about updating to mbedtls-3.0. They have just added this line<https://github.com/ceolin/zephyr/blob/5bf3128a9703561e578651218f5bcdafb96f8…> #if !defined(MBEDTLS_ALLOW_PRIVATE_ACCESS) #define MBEDTLS_ALLOW_PRIVATE_ACCESS # endif Is this an alternative solution to using `MBEDTLS_PRIVATE` for accessing a private field. If yes, can somebody please point me to respective document as this would greatly reduce our code-changes. I understand there is some discussion going on in mbedtls about this change, and appropriate getter-setter functions shall be provided. But we wanted to push out out feature branch for early testing. Thanks and Regards, Aditya

mbedtls client: TLS 1.2 Client Hello triggers a -0x7780 fatal internal server error...?

by secretimap＠nickpelling.com

Hi everyone, The company I’m working for uses mbedtls to drive an embedded TLS server (for HTTPS): but now needs the same device to also act as a TLS client for logging in to remote servers (e.g. for LDAP etc). My embedded test code tries (but fails) to connect to a remote HTTPS server on port 443: I can connect to the same server via openssl on a desktop command line, so it seems to be working. Basically, the client hello message goes out fine (for brevity, I’ve skipped all the ciphersuites, but note that the list does contain the 0xC030 ciphersuite that desktop openssl is able to connect to OK): .ssl_cli.c:934: client hello, got 25 ciphersuites (excluding SCSVs) .ssl_cli.c:943: adding EMPTY_RENEGOTIATION_INFO_SCSV .ssl_cli.c:992: client hello, compress len.: 1 .ssl_cli.c:994: client hello, compress alg.: 0 .ssl_cli.c:186: client hello, adding signature_algorithms extension .ssl_cli.c:271: client hello, adding supported_elliptic_curves extension .ssl_cli.c:336: client hello, adding supported_point_formats extension .ssl_cli.c:518: client hello, adding encrypt_then_mac extension .ssl_cli.c:552: client hello, adding extended_master_secret extension .ssl_cli.c:585: client hello, adding session ticket extension .ssl_cli.c:1071: client hello, total extension length: 52 0000: 16 03 01 00 95 01 00 00 91 03 03 16 e9 7a ea aa 0010: 31 81 60 b6 a8 d3 32 93 a4 50 ca f3 e0 66 f8 47 0020: 56 95 0c cd a0 db b6 0e ae a7 d4 00 00 34 c0 30 0030: 00 9f c0 ad c0 9f c0 24 c0 28 00 6b c0 0a c0 14 0040: 00 39 c0 af c0 a3 c0 2b c0 2f 00 9e c0 ac c0 9e 0050: c0 23 c0 27 00 67 c0 09 c0 13 00 33 c0 ae c0 a2 0060: 00 ff 01 00 00 34 00 0d 00 16 00 14 06 03 06 01 0070: 05 03 05 01 04 03 04 01 03 03 03 01 02 03 02 01 0080: 00 0a 00 04 00 02 00 17 00 0b 00 02 01 00 00 16 0090: 00 00 00 17 00 00 00 23 00 00 However, the server hello that comes back is both unhappy and unhelpful: .ssl_tls.c:2721: in_left: 5, nb_want: 7 .ssl_tls.c:2722: ssl->f_recv(_timeout)() returned 2 (-0xfffffffe) .ssl_tls.c:2742: <= fetch input .ssl_tls.c:4233: dumping 'input record from network' (7 bytes) .ssl_tls.c:4233: 0000: 15 03 03 00 02 02 50 ......P .ssl_tls.c:5170: got an alert message, type: [2:80] .ssl_tls.c:5178: is a fatal alert message (msg 80) .ssl_tls.c:4369: mbedtls_ssl_handle_message_type() returned -30592 (-0x7780) .ssl_cli.c:1506: mbedtls_ssl_read_record() returned -30592 (-0x7780) Putting the ciphersuites to one side, I suspect that what is happening here is that the (remote) server is complaining about a TLS extension the mbedtls client is either including or omitting. (I’ve already disabled the max fragment extension). But because I can’t see inside the remote server, I can’t tell. ☹ Might the mbedtls TLS client need the supported_versions extension (43) to work with many remote TLS servers? Is this a known issue? I’ve gone through loads of mailing list archive messages here, but haven’t found anything that matches this. Thanks, Nick PS: when OpenSSL connects to the server, the client hello message (that works fine) looks like this in Wireshark: Transport Layer Security TLSv1.2 Record Layer: Handshake Protocol: Client Hello Content Type: Handshake (22) Version: TLS 1.2 (0x0303) Length: 358 Handshake Protocol: Client Hello Handshake Type: Client Hello (1) Length: 354 Version: TLS 1.2 (0x0303) Random: [SNIP] GMT Unix Time: Jan 21, 2095 20:50:07.000000000 GMT Standard Time Random Bytes: [SNIP] Session ID Length: 32 Session ID: [SNIP] Cipher Suites Length: 90 Cipher Suites (45 suites) [SNIP!] Cipher Suite: TLS_EMPTY_RENEGOTIATION_INFO_SCSV (0x00ff) Compression Methods Length: 1 Compression Methods (1 method) Compression Method: null (0) Extensions Length: 191 Extension: status_request (len=5) Type: status_request (5) Length: 5 Certificate Status Type: OCSP (1) Responder ID list Length: 0 Request Extensions Length: 0 Extension: supported_groups (len=22) Type: supported_groups (10) Length: 22 Supported Groups List Length: 20 Supported Groups (10 groups) Supported Group: x25519 (0x001d) Supported Group: secp256r1 (0x0017) Supported Group: secp384r1 (0x0018) Supported Group: secp521r1 (0x0019) Supported Group: x448 (0x001e) Supported Group: ffdhe2048 (0x0100) Supported Group: ffdhe3072 (0x0101) Supported Group: ffdhe4096 (0x0102) Supported Group: ffdhe6144 (0x0103) Supported Group: ffdhe8192 (0x0104) Extension: ec_point_formats (len=2) Type: ec_point_formats (11) Length: 2 EC point formats Length: 1 Elliptic curves point formats (1) EC point format: uncompressed (0) Extension: signature_algorithms (len=34) Type: signature_algorithms (13) Length: 34 Signature Hash Algorithms Length: 32 Signature Hash Algorithms (16 algorithms) [SNIP!] Extension: signature_algorithms_cert (len=34) Type: signature_algorithms_cert (50) Length: 34 Signature Hash Algorithms Length: 32 Signature Hash Algorithms (16 algorithms) [SNIP!] Extension: status_request_v2 (len=9) Type: status_request_v2 (17) Length: 9 Certificate Status List Length: 7 Certificate Status Type: OCSP Multi (2) Certificate Status Length: 4 Responder ID list Length: 0 Request Extensions Length: 0 Extension: extended_master_secret (len=0) Type: extended_master_secret (23) Length: 0 Extension: supported_versions (len=5) Type: supported_versions (43) Length: 5 Supported Versions length: 4 Supported Version: TLS 1.3 (0x0304) Supported Version: TLS 1.2 (0x0303) Extension: psk_key_exchange_modes (len=2) Type: psk_key_exchange_modes (45) Length: 2 PSK Key Exchange Modes Length: 1 PSK Key Exchange Mode: PSK with (EC)DHE key establishment (psk_dhe_ke) (1) Extension: key_share (len=38) Type: key_share (51) Length: 38 Key Share extension Client Key Share Length: 36 Key Share Entry: Group: x25519, Key Exchange length: 32 Group: x25519 (29) Key Exchange Length: 32 Key Exchange: 9f8e83a6859e6b4c6c3e43b524b81e6f63cc409c5757692a2343a2929c681c17

Compact public ECC key representation

by Hristozov, Stefan

Hi all, For an IETF protocol that I am currently implementing a compact representation [1] of ECDH public keys needs to be sent over the network and be used on the receiving side for deriving a shared secret. With psa_export_public_key() I can export the public key form a psa_key_id_t object. The exported key is 65 bytes long (I am working with P256) which has the format 04|x|y as documented in [2]. It is easy to compress the public key before sending it -> just send the x part. How to decompress the x part back to the representation 04|x|y. As far I understand the psa_raw_key_agreement() function the public key must be encoded "in the same format that psa_import_key() accepts", that is 04|x|y [3]. Is there a function for that?

Using mbedtls with a CA chain

by Loren Rogers

I need to use mbedtls (bundled with Nordic SDK, and unsure of version) to do some cloud-based functionality (AWS cloud, using OpenAM with a CA chain containing 4 certs). According to something I read, I need to use a pkcs7 container? If so, it seems that mbedtls does not support pkcs7? I did hand-copy some code from a PR, but as I was looking through the pkcs7.c, it seems that it still only supports the CA Root. Is this true? Is there anyone that can give me a hand in solving what I am attempting to do? Thank you /Loren Rogers

TLS connection establishment between OpenMUC java client and mbedtls server

by lekshmi g

Dear Madam/Sir, We are working on a project which requires IEC 62351 standards. For that we had developed a TLS server in C language and we had the requirement of developing a TLS client in Java language. We had used the *mbedTLS library for server* and *OpenMUC libraries for client*. But we are getting exception while certificate exchange phase and all. We had attached the listed exceptions and errors. Kindly provide necessary support for the same. Also please confirm whether we can develop above specified architecture, ie TLS based server in C language and client in Java. If available please share some sample programs also. Please reply ASAP. We have debugged the code and the following are the messages we have got in mbedtls java server and OPENMUC java tls client . During certificate exchange from client to server (MBEDTLS_SSL_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE case in server), the function returns a nonzero value and the alert shows in server is 49 (ie, MBEDTLS_SSL_ALERT_MSG_ACCESS_DENIED). *Please check Fig 1 and Fig 2* for the messages displayed during connection establishment.Kindly help us to solve the issues. [image: image.png] Fig 1- case:MBEDTLS_SSL_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE fails [image: image.png] Fig 2-OPENMUC java client error when connecting to mbedtlsserver ReplyForward <https://drive.google.com/u/0/settings/storage?hl=en&utm_medium=web&utm_sour…> <https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms/> <https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/> <https://www.google.com/gmail/about/policy/>
