* public/pr/2028:
Update the crypto submodule to a78c958
Fix ChangeLog entry to correct release version
Fix typo in x509write test data
Add ChangeLog entry for unused bits in bitstrings
Improve docs for named bitstrings and their usage
Add tests for (named) bitstring to suite_asn1write
Add new function mbedtls_asn1_write_named_bitstring()
The test used 3DES as the suite for SSLv3, which now makes the handshake fails
with "no ciphersuite in common", failing the test as well. Use Camellia
instead (as there are not enough AES ciphersuites before TLS 1.2 to
distinguish between the 3 versions).
Document some dependencies, but not all. Just trying to avoid introducing new
issues by using a new cipher here, not trying to make it perfect, which is a
much larger task out of scope of this commit.
Line issue trackers are conceptually a subclass of file issue
trackers: they're file issue trackers where issues arise from checking
each line independently. So make it an actual subclass.
Pylint pointed out the design smell: there was an abstract method that
wasn't always overridden in concrete child classes.
Make check-python-files.sh run pylint on all *.py files (in
directories where they are known to be present), rather than list
files explicitly.
Fix a bug whereby the return status of check-python-files.sh was only
based on the last file passing, i.e. errors in other files were
effectively ignored.
Make check-python-files.sh run pylint unconditionally. Since pylint3
is not critical, make all.sh to skip running check-python-files.sh if
pylint3 is not available.
The pylint configuration in .pylint was a modified version of the
output of `pylint --generate-rcfile` from an unknown version of
pylint. Replace it with a file that only contains settings that are
modified from the default, with an explanation of why each setting is
modified.
The new .pylintrc was written from scratch, based on the output of
pylint on the current version of the files and on a judgement of what
to silence generically, what to silence on a case-by-case basis and
what to fix.
The ecp_get_type function comes handy in higher level modules and tests
as well. It is not inline anymore, to enable alternative implementations
to implement it for themselves.
mbedtls_ecp_read_key() module returned without an error even when
importing keys corresponding to the requested group was not
implemented.
We change this and return an error when the requested group is not
supported and make the remaining import/export functions more robust.
Renamed the tests because they are explicitly testing Curve25519 and
nothing else. Improved test coverage, test documentation and extended
in-code documentation with a specific reference to the standard as well.
The library is able to perform computations and cryptographic schemes on
curves with x coordinate ladder representation. Here we add the
capability to export such points.
The function `mbedtls_mpi_write_binary()` writes big endian byte order,
but we need to be able to write little endian in some caseses. (For
example when handling keys corresponding to Montgomery curves.)
Used `echo xx | tac -rs ..` to transform the test data to little endian.
The private keys used in ECDH differ in the case of Weierstrass and
Montgomery curves. They have different constraints, the former is based
on big endian, the latter little endian byte order. The fundamental
approach is different too:
- Weierstrass keys have to be in the right interval, otherwise they are
rejected.
- Any byte array of the right size is a valid Montgomery key and it
needs to be masked before interpreting it as a number.
Historically it was sufficient to use mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() to read
private keys, but as a preparation to improve support for Montgomery
curves we add mbedtls_ecp_read_key() to enable uniform treatment of EC
keys.
For the masking the `mbedtls_mpi_set_bit()` function is used. This is
suboptimal but seems to provide the best trade-off at this time.
Alternatives considered:
- Making a copy of the input buffer (less efficient)
- removing the `const` constraint from the input buffer (breaks the api
and makes it less user friendly)
- applying the mask directly to the limbs (violates the api between the
modules and creates and unwanted dependency)
The library is able to perform computations and cryptographic schemes on
curves with x coordinate ladder representation. Here we add the
capability to import such points.
The function `mbedtls_mpi_read_binary()` expects big endian byte order,
but we need to be able to read from little endian in some caseses. (For
example when handling keys corresponding to Montgomery curves.)
Used `echo xx | tac -rs .. | tr [a-z] [A-Z]` to transform the test data
to little endian and `echo "ibase=16;xx" | bc` to convert to decimal.
Additional work done as part of merge:
- Run ./tests/scripts/check-generated-files.sh and check in the
resulting changes to programs/ssl/query_config.c
Add a test case for doing an ECDH calculation by calling
mbedtls_ecdh_get_params on both keys, with keys belonging to
different groups. This should fail, but currently passes.
The test function pkcs1_rsaes_v15_encrypt gets its fake-random input
for padding from a test parameter. In one test case, the parameter was
too short, causing a fallback to rand(). The reference output depends
on this random input, so the test data was correct only for a platform
with one particular rand() implementation. Supply sufficient
fake-random input so that rand() isn't called.
