Re: [mbed-tls] Chinese characters garbled after calling mbedtls_x509_crt_info() or mbedtls_x509_dn_gets()

by Janos Follath

Hi Newt, This is normal and happens not just to Chinese characters, but to all non-ASCII characters. This supposed to be a feature of Mbed TLS, to ensure that we return something printable whether the platform can handle the original encoding or not. Of course we can consider providing a way to add an option to disable this feature: if you would like to submit a PR, please let us discuss first what can be done. If you wouldn't like to submit a PR, then please raise an issue on github for this feature request. Until this feature is implemented, you can access the original encoding in the `val` field of the `mbedtls_x509_name` parameter you would be passing to `mbedtls_x509_dn_gets()`.

Re: [mbed-tls] About mbedtls CVE

by Janos Follath

Hi Sawyer, After looking at the issues in more detail I would like to be more precise about CVE-2018-1000520: * It is not a security issue in the context of TLS 1.2 * It can be a security issue if TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 is used * The severity is so low that we decided not fixing it ourselves, but to open it up for community contributions * The corresponding issue has been closed down by mistake, I am reopening it now: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/1561 (Many thanks to Simon Butcher for noticing this and pointing it out.) Please let me know if I you would like to know more about this issue.

Currently the status of these CVE’s is: - CVE-2020-16150 has been fixed in the latest Mbed TLS release - CVE-2018-1000520 is not a security issue, it had been studied and rejected - CVE-2016-3739 is a vulnerability in an application using Mbed TLS but not in Mbed TLS itself, also it too had been fixed. Does this answer your question? (Also, I would like to make a minor clarification: we are not Arm Support. As far as I know Arm does not offer official support for Mbed TLS. Arm only contributes engineers to the Mbed TLS project, and at the moment these engineers are the maintainers of Mbed TLS. We are on this mailing list and try to answer questions, but we are not doing that as official support provided by Arm, but as members of the community. Mbed TLS is supported by the community and this mailing list is indeed the right place to get that support. I apologise for the nitpick, I just wanted to make sure that we are not giving the wrong impressions.)

Re: [mbed-tls] Questions about PSA Crypto API and mbed TLS

by Gilles Peskine

Is there some room for evolution or is the spec > already in a frozen released state ? Please use the psa-crypto list since there may be participants there who don't care about Mbed TLS. Version 1.0 of the PSA Crypto API is official so we won't make incompatible changes unless there is a compelling reason. We can, and will, add features in 1.x versions of the specification. Among planned features are: more algorithm declarations, key wrapping, key stretching, and a better treatment of key establishment (including password-based key establishment). > > For new algorithms, it's of course preferable that they're defined in > the spec itself. But does the mbedtls project want to supports all > algorithms that will be used with PSA Crypto API ? Mbed TLS intends to be a reference implementation of the PSA crypto API. However it isn't clear whether this means that Mbed TLS will eventually support all algorithms that the API declares: we intend to support all methods, but not necessarily all algorithms. A conforming implementation of the API is allowed to support any subset of the algorithms. We (here meaning Arm, not Mbed TLS) don't have a formal policy to decide whether to include a declaration for an algorithm, but here are some criteria that we're likely to follow: * There should be a public specification. (This can be a document that's only for purchase, such as an ISO standard.) * The algorithm should either be in good standing, or in current use in legacy protocols. * The bar is low for adding an algorithm that just requires a #define. It's a lot higher if a new function is needed. * Availability in Mbed TLS is not required. > > For pure ED25519 and ED448 with scattered data, there's one big > gotcha.

A unified interface to key management makes it easy to upgrade from having all keys inside, to using a single-chip application separation technology (MMU, MPU, secure enclave, …), to wrapping keys in a secure element and storing the wrapped key externally, to storing keys in a secure element (which protects against undeletion). When an application uses a key, it doesn't need to care where the key is stored.

Re: [mbed-tls] Questions about PSA Crypto API and mbed TLS

by François Beerten

Hi, Thank you Gilles for the detailed reply. Do you prefer that discussion about PSA Crypto API spec go on mailing list instead of here ? Is there some room for evolution or is the spec already in a frozen released state ? For new algorithms, it's of course preferable that they're defined in the spec itself. But does the mbedtls project want to supports all algorithms that will be used with PSA Crypto API ? For pure ED25519 and ED448 with scattered data, there's one big gotcha. You need to generate twice a hash that includes the message. Thus the implementation needs to be able to access the buffers of the message twice. With a piece of the message given only once as in the init-update-finish scheme, that does not work well. From reading the document on the PSA Crypto driver API, a transparent driver benefits from the management of keys done by the mbedtls implementation. But what benefit is there for a driver working with opaque keys which has to fully handle the protections and restrictions of keys internally ? Best, François.

Re: [mbed-tls] Write private key into buffer using encrypted PEM format

by Janos Follath

Hi Mate, I had a look and I couldn’t find such a feature implemented either. I don’t think that Mbed TLS supports that at the moment. Best regards, Janos From: mbed-tls <mbed-tls-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> on behalf of "Z.Máté via mbed-tls" <mbed-tls(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Reply to: "Z.Máté" <enleszekakalozkiraly(a)gmail.com> Date: Monday, 2 November 2020 at 21:01 To: "mbed-tls(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org" <mbed-tls(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [mbed-tls] Write private key into buffer using encrypted PEM format Dear mbedtls list members! Sorry if this is the second time I ask, I'm not sure the previous question is still on the list. I'm asking if there's a way to export a private key into a buffer in an encrypted format. So that mbedtls_pk_parse_key() has to be called with a password. In the example program key_app.c (I hope that's how it's called) I can see there are password encrypted PEM formatted keys. But how to generate one? For clarity, this is the type of header I'm looking for. —–BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY—– Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED DEK-Info: AES-256-CBC,AB8E2B5B2D989271273F6730B6F9C687 ………………………………………………. ………………………………………………. ……………………………………… —–END RSA PRIVATE KEY—– I was only able to generate something like this by, using command line openssl. But I'd like a better solution, in code, using mbedtls. Yours Zombor Máté

Re: [mbed-tls] Questions about PSA Crypto API and mbed TLS

Hello, Thank you for your interest in the PSA crypto API.

You can send feedback about the PSA Crypto application and driver interfaces on the psa-crypto mailing list (psa-crypto(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org, https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/mailman/listinfo/psa-crypto). If you prefer to send confidential feedback, you can email mbed-crypto(a)arm.com (feedback at this address will only be discussed inside Arm). An issue in the Mbed TLS repository will also reach PSA Crypto architects. > A note says "Hash suspend and resume is not defined for the SHA3 > family of hash algorithms". Why are they not defined for SHA3 ? > The hash suspend/resume operations marshall the internal state of the hash operation. They mimic an existing JavaCard API (https://docs.oracle.com/javacard/3.0.5/api/javacard/security/InitializedMes…). There is a de facto standard representation of the internal state for common Merkle-Damgård constructions, which covers all the currently defined hash algorithms except SHA3. If there's interest in this functionality, we could standardize a representation for SHA3. > How can or should one add support in PSA Crypto AP for not yet defined > algorithms (for example a KDF) ? > Answer from a PSA Crypto architect: preferably by requesting an encoding for this KDF as a PSA_ALG_xxx value (as well as new PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_xxx values if applicable). If you can't do that, use an encoding in the vendor range (most significant bit set). The world of key derivation functions is unfortunately messy: there are many similar, but not functionally equivalent constructions (such as hashing a secret together with a nonce, formatted in all kinds of different ways). The set of KDF in PSA Crypto 1.0.0 was the minimum set required for the TLS protocol. We expect 1.0.x updates to define more KDF algorithms. Answer from an Mbed TLS maintainer: contributing an implementation would be appreciated (but not required). > In multipart operations, can the user reuse the input buffers > immediately after doing an 'update' (for example after > psa_hash_update()) ?

PSA crypto API functions that take a buffer as a parameter never take ownership of that buffer. Once the function returns, you can do whatever you want with the buffer. The PSA specification even guarantees that you can use the same buffer, or overlapping buffers, as inputs and outputs to the same function call. However beware that the Mbed TLS implementation does not always support such overlap (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/3266). > Do you plan to support (pure) ED25519 and ED448 only via > psa_sign_message() and psa_verify_message() ?

We have already added partial support for the psa_xxx crypto API (with MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO), however it is not yet possible to fully decouple the X.509/TLS layers from the Mbed TLS crypto implementation. (I think this is already possible for a small set of cipher suites, but it isn't something that we've tried or currently actively support.) Before this can happen, some Mbed TLS APIs need to change, which will happen in 2021 with Mbed TLS 3.0. After that, we plan to decouple the PSA crypto reference implementation (Mbed TLS's current crypto implementation) from the X.509/TLS layer (which will remain “Mbed TLS”). Our plans (https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/mbed-tls/roadmap/) that far into the future are still vague and may change. Note that for the most common case of wanting a different implementation of cryptography, which is to leverage hardware such as accelerators and secure elements, PSA is defining a driver interface which is currently being implemented in Mbed TLS (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/blob/development/docs/proposed/psa-drive…). The driver interface lets you combine mechanisms supported by your hardware with Mbed TLS's implementation for mechanisms without hardware support. -- Gilles Peskine PSA Cryptography architect and Mbed TLS developer > Thank you for your attention, > > François. > > >
