This means it is - now possible to use all features from those modules in configurations - where the built-in implementations of hashes are excluded and the hashes - are only provided by PSA drivers. In these configurations, you need to - call `psa_crypto_init()` before you call any function from those - modules; this is not required in configurations where the built-in - implementation is still available. Note that some crypto modules and - features still depend on the built-in implementation of hashes: - MBEDTLS_HKDF_C (but the PSA HKDF function do not depend on it), - MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_C, MBEDTLS_HMAC_DRBG_C and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_DETERMINISTIC. - In particular, for now, compiling without built-in hashes requires use - of MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG. - * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, X.509, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 no - longer depend on MD. This means it is now possible to use them in - configurations where the built-in implementations of hashes are excluded - and the hashes are only provided by PSA drivers. + * Some modules can now use PSA drivers for hashes, including with no + built-in implementation present, but only in some configurations. + - RSA OAEP and PSS (PKCS#1 v2.1), PKCS5, PKCS12 and EC J-PAKE now use + hashes from PSA when (and only when) MBEDTLS_MD_C is disabled. + - PEM parsing of encrypted files now uses MD-5 from PSA when (and only + when) MBEDTLS_MD5_C is disabled. + See the documentation of the corresponding macros in mbedtls_config.h for + details. + Note that some modules are not able to use hashes from PSA yet, including + the entropy module.
