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.
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
Hi,
On Monday 8th we will have the next Mbed TLS Tech Forum. Please reply to the list if you have any agenda topics to raise.
As a starter for the agenda, we will likely discuss: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/5067 Proposal for driver dispatch code gen

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

Dear Sir,/Madam
We need to convert the files - root.cer,client1.cer
and client1-key.pem to jks using the tool keystore explorer. For that, the
password for the files are needed.Please provide passwords.We need to
establish connection between java client and mbedtls c server.Kindly
provide help.

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.

Hi,
I would like to announce the Mbed TLS Tech Forum, a regular engineering call to discuss topics of interest to the Mbed TLS community.
The call is currently planned to take place every two weeks, alternating between US-friendly and China-friendly times (16:30 and 10:00 UK time), starting on the 25th October at 16:30 BST.
Please reply to the list if you have any agenda topics to raise. As a starting point, we will cover:
Format – check if times & cadence are suitable
TLS 1.3 – high-level update on progress & direction
PSA Cryptoprocessor Driver Interface – code generation for driver dispatch as per https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/5067
Zoom details below. The call will be recorded and made available on the TF website: https://www.trustedfirmware.org/meetings/

I'm hoping to make the switch from libressl to MbedTLS. I'm working
on a Linux from scratch style project. Curl works fine with MbedTLS
and most of the utilities I work with use libcurl. I'm also using
libtomcrypt for some of its hash and cryptographic functionality. The
only place I'm having a problem making the switch at present is when I
follow the LFS logic to make certificates (make-ca). There's a
openssl/libressl command in the script that looks like the following:
openssl x509 -hash -noout -in "$1"
Is there a way to replace this functionality with a command or
procedure or function from another program so that libressl or openssl
isn't needed to perform this step?
Thanks.
