Mbed TLS relies solely on the TF-PSA-Crypto build system to build its
cryptography library and its tests.
The TF-PSA-Crypto configuration file tf_psa_crypto_config.h configures
The TF-PSA-Crypto configuration file `tf_psa_crypto_config.h` configures
entirely the cryptography interface exposed by Mbed TLS through TF-PSA-Crypto.
Mbed TLS configuration is splitted in two files: mbedtls_config.h for TLS and
x509, tf_psa_crypto_config.h for the cryptography.
Mbed TLS configuration is splitted in two files: `mbedtls_config.h` for TLS and
x509, `tf_psa_crypto_config.h` for the cryptography.
## How do we split the configuration file?
We extend the so called PSA cryptographic configuration scheme based on
mbedtls_config.h and crypto_config.h. The configuration file crypto_config.h is
extended to become the TF-PSA-Crypto configuration file, mbedtls_config.h
`mbedtls_config.h` and `crypto_config.h`. The configuration file `crypto_config.h`
is extended to become the TF-PSA-Crypto configuration file, `mbedtls_config.h`
becomes the configuration file for the TLS and x509 libraries. All the options
to select the cryptographic mechanisms and to configure their implementation
are moved from mbedtls_config.h to (tf_psa_)crypto_config.h.
are moved from `mbedtls_config.h` to `(tf_psa_)crypto_config.h`.
The configuration options that are relevant to both Mbed TLS and TF-PSA-Crypto
like platform or system ones are moved to (tf_psa_)crypto_config.h. That way
like platform or system ones are moved to `(tf_psa_)crypto_config.h`. That way
they are available in both repositories (as Mbed TLS includes
tf_psa_crypto_config.h) without duplication. Later, we may duplicate or create
aliases for some of them to align with the naming conventions of the
`tf_psa_crypto_config.h`) without duplication. Later, we may duplicate or

In Mbed TLS, `config.py` handles both `mbedtls_config.h` and

files.

Compared to Mbed TLS, the cryptography code in TF-PSA-Crypto is not located
in a single directory but split between the PSA core (core directory) and the
PSA builtin drivers (drivers/builtin/src directory). This is reflected in
tf_psa_crypto_config.h with two sections respectively named "PSA core" and
`tf_psa_crypto_config.h` with two sections respectively named "PSA core" and
"Builtin drivers".
Finally, the last section named "Legacy cryptography" contains the configuration
options that will eventually be removed as duplicates of PSA_WANT_\* and
MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_\* configuration options.
By contrast to mbedtls_config.h, tf_psa_crypto_config.h does not contain a
By contrast to `mbedtls_config.h`, `tf_psa_crypto_config.h` does not contain a

configuration options. The configuration options that are not boolean are
located in the same section as the boolean option they are associated to.
