- mbed-tls - lists.trustedfirmware.org

by Gilles Peskine

Hello, This is a question for integrators and packagers of Mbed TLS, especially if you're integrating the library in some embedded OS or BSP. To build, configure and test Mbed TLS, we use Python for several purposes: * To configure the library with scripts/config.py, unless you use the default configuration or write your own configuration from scratch. * To generate some configuration-independent library source files, but only if you use the development branch, not if you use a release or an LTS branch. * To generate some glue code for PSA drivers, if you use PSA drivers and don't write the glue code by hand. * To generate the unit test source files. * (We have many more maintenance and test scripts but they're out of scope here.) (Python is not necessary, and will remain unnecessary, to configure and build the library with a given set of hardware drivers, so that a typical BSP will not have to depend on Python.) For each of these purposes, how problematic is it if we require a recent version of Python? We're currently planning to drop support for older versions of Python as soon as they become unsupported upstream (so officially dropping 3.8 now — although right now all scripts still work on 3.5). This includes versions of Python that are still shipped in e.g. Linux distributions that are themselves officially supported. Is there demand for supporting older Python versions for some scripts? Also, how problematic is it if some of these purposes require third-party Python packages? Best regards, -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer

Global entropy required for TLS 1.3?

by Jethro Beekman

The MbedTLS generally allows you to pass in an RNG callback for each function that requires it. This is even explicitly called out in the 3.x migration guide: > The RNG parameter is now mandatory for all functions that accept one https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/a7d454cec2/docs/3.0-migration-guid… However, TLS 1.3 support requires MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/a7d454cec2/include/mbedtls/check_c… And MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C requires MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_C or MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/a7d454cec2/include/mbedtls/check_c… This seems to go against the general rule that MbedTLS doesn't require any global state. Was this done intentionally? -- Jethro Beekman | Fortanix

Regarding adding a new encryption algorithm in mbedtls

by Vishal Rathod

Dear sir/madam, Hope you are doing good! We are working on a lightweight TLS implementation for embedded hardware and want to add our own algorithm inside mbedTLS. As per my knowledge, we have to add a .h file in mbedtls/include/mbedtls and .c file in the library. Also, we have to list our algorithm in library/CMakeLists.txt. Except these, what should be the procedure? Also, our task is during handshake, the receiver chooses our algorithm instead of the default one for encryption and decryption. If someone could help us regarding this then it would be great. Thanks in advance. Regards, -- *Dr. Vishal J. Rathod* *(Member - IEEE, ACM, IET)* *Senior Project Engineer (SPE),* *IoT R & D Group,* *C-DAC, Electronic City,* *Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.* *Email ID: rathodvishal78(a)gmail.com <rathodvishal78(a)gmail.com> and * vishalrathod(a)ieee.org *Mobile - 9879957770*

Feature idea for mbedtls_net_connect()

by Alexander Timofeev

Hi! I am a new MbedTLS user and would like to say thanks to devs first! From my point of view mbedtls_net_connect() could handle binding socket to a specified local client port. Although it does not seem to be a common requirement and bloats API a little bit but otherwise user has to throw away mbedtls_net_connect() and implement connection function by their hands. Best, Alex

Re: [psa-crypto] Benchmark application for PSA crypto API's

by Stephan Koch

Hi Ruchika, as an addition to the previous answers, there is also the SecureMark-TLS benchmark from EEMBC that "Analyzes the costs associated with implementing TLS on an edge device using a common IoT cyphersuite comprised of ECC & ECDSA on the NIST secp256r1 curve, SHA256, and AES128-CCM/ECB", see: https://www.eembc.org/securemark/ It provides profiles to run benchmarks against Mbed TLS API, PSA Crypto API, and wolfSSL, see sources here: https://github.com/eembc/securemark-tls/tree/main/examples/selfhosted/profi… The chosen cipher-suite is similar to the TF-M medium profile and it allows estimates of speed and power consumption for TLS on microcontrollers. It also allows to add - manually - footprint data.

Are there any plans to implement benchmark application for PSA crypto APIs ? Regards, Ruchika

PSA key slot management functions access private structure members

by S Krishnan, Archanaa

Hello, In mbedLS v3.4.0, I came across a build error that there are no members for type and flag in psa_core_keyattributes_t structure. The following functions in psa_crypto_core.h access private members type and flag of psa_core_keyattributes_t structure without the MBEDTLS_PRIBATE() private access. * psa_is_key_slot_occupied() * psa_key_slot_get_flags() * psa_key_slot_set_flags() * psa_key_slot_set_bits_in_flags() * psa_key_slot_clear_bits() Updating to private access for attribute struct members in psa_crypto_core.h fixed the build errors.
