It should be valid to RSASSA-PSS sign a SHA-512 hash with a 1024-bit or
1032-bit RSA key, but with the salt size being always equal to the hash
size, this isn't possible: the key is too small.
To enable use of hashes that are relatively large compared to the key
size, allow reducing the salt size to no less than the hash size minus 2
bytes. We don't allow salt sizes smaller than the hash size minus 2
bytes because that too significantly changes the security guarantees the
library provides compared to the previous implementation which always
used a salt size equal to the hash size. The new calculated salt size
remains compliant with FIPS 186-4.
We also need to update the "hash too large" test, since we now reduce
the salt size when certain key sizes are used. We used to not support
1024-bit keys with SHA-512, but now we support this by reducing the salt
size to 62. Update the "hash too large" test to use a 1016-bit RSA key
with SHA-512, which still has too large of a hash because we will not
reduce the salt size further than 2 bytes shorter than the hash size.
The RSA private key used for the test was generated using "openssl
genrsa 1016" using OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre8.
$ openssl genrsa 1016

Minor documentation improvements:
*Standardized file brief description.
*Separated return statements.
*Reordered tags within documentation blocks so that params and returns are last in block.
*p_rng descriptions changed from "parameter" to "context".
- Rephrase file/function/parameter/enum/define/error descriptions into full
and clear sentences.
- Make sure to adhere to the Arm writing guidelines.
- Fix missing/incorrect Doxygen tags.
- Standardize terminology used within the file.
- Rephrase the descriptions of all md_alg and hashlen parameters.
GitHub PR: #1327
Add MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED error codes for all cryptography
modules where the software implementation can be replaced by a hardware
implementation.
This does not include the individual message digest modules since they
currently have no way to return error codes.
This does include the higher-level md, cipher and pk modules since
alternative implementations and even algorithms can be plugged in at
runtime.
* Correct order of sections in ChangeLog
* Restore unintentionally removed whitespace and
formatting improvements.
* Consistently rename MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_EXPORT_UNSUPPORTED
to MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION in rsa.h
documentation.
This commit splits off the RSA helper functions into separate headers and
compilation units to have a clearer separation of the public RSA interface,
intended to be used by end-users, and the helper functions which are publicly
provided only for the benefit of designers of alternative RSA implementations.
It is not necessary to pass a CSPRNG to `mbedtls_rsa_deduce_moduli`, as there
exist well-working static strategies, and even if a PRNG is preferred, a
non-secure one would be sufficient.
Further, the implementation is changed to use a static strategy for the choice
of candidates which according to some benchmarks even performs better than the
previous one using random candidate choices.
Further, state explicitly that wrong key types need not be supported by alternative RSA implementations, and that those
may instead return the newly introduced error code MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION.
Original intention was to be allowed to perform in-place operations like changing the byte-order before importing
parameters into an HSM. Now a copy is needed in this case, but there's no more danger of a user expecting the arguments
to be left untouched.
Document explicitly that `mbedtls_rsa_check_privkey` and `mbedtls_rsa_complete` succeeding does not guarantee the
consistency of the underlying RSA private key but only that enough information is present to perform a private key
operation.
This commit adds the function mbedtls_rsa_validate_crt for validating a set of CRT parameters. The function
mbedtls_rsa_check_crt is simplified accordingly.
Alternative RSA implementations can be provided by defining MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT in
config.h, defining an mbedtls_rsa_context struct in a new file rsa_alt.h and
re-implementing the RSA interface specified in rsa.h.
Through the previous reworkings, the adherence to the interface is the only
implementation obligation - in particular, implementors are free to use a
different layout for the RSA context structure.
