Also, if you're looking for a hardware platform with PSA Crypto drivers, Silicon Labs has one available. They've been participating in Mbed TLS development recently and a large part of the driver support code added in the past few months comes from them. You can see the documentation of their development kit at https://docs.silabs.com/mbed-tls/latest/ . (If you want to know about getting sample hardware and driver code … I'm not the right person to ask.) -- Gilles Peskine On 24/02/2021 22:26, Gilles Peskine via mbed-tls wrote: > Hi Frank, > > I'm not sure what you're looking for.

Re: [mbed-tls] Use PKCS#11 and mbed TLS

by Gilles Peskine

Hi Frank, I'm not sure what you're looking for. Do you mean open source projects like Curl and Hiawatha that can use Mbed TLS as a cryptography provider? Those are generally using the classic API, and so can't make generic use of secure elements. I am aware of private projects using the limited features available today (for example, TLS servers can use async private key operations to put the key in an HSM — see https://tls.mbed.org/kb/how-to/ssl_async). I've used SoftHSM in the past as a way to test portable PKCS#11 client code without hardware. It did the job well. I can't speak for the quality of its cryptography since I was only using it for testing. If you're looking for a generic interface between applications and secure elements, then I would recommend PSA crypto over PKCS#11. We did try to make PSA Crypto a better PKCS#11. Obviously I'm biased :) But of course PKCS#11 is old and venerable, whereas PSA is new and the support for hardware secure elements is still a work in progress. -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer and PSA Crypto architect On 21/02/2021 17:11, Frank Bergmann via mbed-tls wrote: > Hi Gilles, > > thank you for your detailled answer. > Honestly I was in fear that your answer would look like this. ;-) > > Do you maybe know of any plans of any software project to use mbed TLS > together with a secure element? > > I asked SoftHSM because it looks much promising for our goals but they > answered that they don't have any plans to use different ssl libs. > > > cheers, > Frank > > > On 08.02.21 23:07, Gilles Peskine via mbed-tls wrote: >> Hi Frank, >> >> Support for HSM keys in Mbed TLS is a work in progress.

Re: [mbed-tls] Use PKCS#11 and mbed TLS

by Frank Bergmann

Hi Gilles, thank you for your detailled answer. Honestly I was in fear that your answer would look like this. ;-) Do you maybe know of any plans of any software project to use mbed TLS together with a secure element? I asked SoftHSM because it looks much promising for our goals but they answered that they don't have any plans to use different ssl libs. cheers, Frank On 08.02.21 23:07, Gilles Peskine via mbed-tls wrote: > Hi Frank, > > Support for HSM keys in Mbed TLS is a work in progress.

Re: [mbed-tls] Failures: all_sh-ubuntu-16.04-test_memory_buffer_allocator

by Gilles Peskine

Hi Gábor, To reproduce locally, the correct invocation would be tests/scripts/all.sh test_memory_buffer_allocator Specifically, the failing tests are SSL tests. To reproduce those tests, build the right configuration and run tests/ssl-opt.sh -f 'DTLS fragmenting: proxy MTU, * renego' I've posted the relevant logs on the GitHub issue. It's unusual for the memory_buffer tests to fail when memory sanitizers are passing, so I don't know what's going on. -- Gilles Peskine Mbed TLS developer On 16/02/2021 11:13, Gábor Tóth via mbed-tls wrote: > Hello Guys! > > I have an error related to test_memory_buffer_allocator on the server > in my PR (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/4140).

Failures: all_sh-ubuntu-16.04-test_memory_buffer_allocator

by Gábor Tóth

Hello Guys! I have an error related to test_memory_buffer_allocator on the server in my PR (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/4140). Tried to find the issue locally on both the latest Ubuntu and on version 16.04 (same as on the server), but without success. All the tests pass if I run "make test" command (of course I changed config.h based on the component in all.sh).. I have also tried: "./tests/scripts/all.sh component_test_memory_buffer_allocator", but it does not do anything, just lists some tools. Maybe I am not using it right... The memory allocation/freeing mechanism was not touched by my changes except that in the function that frees a CRT I added a small part to free the new dynamic field. Do you have any idea what's wrong with my PR, how could I solve it or find out the cause? Thank you guys! BR, Gábor
