2017-09-13Preliminary support for parallel core RSA CRT.Rob Austein
2017-09-13Sort-of-working, large (4096-bit) RSA keys broken.Rob Austein
Snapshot of mostly but not entirely working code to include the extra ModExpA7 key components in the keystore. Need to investigate whether a more compact representation is practical for these components, as the current one bloats the key object so much that a bare 4096-bit key won't fit in a single hash block, and there may not be enough room for PKCS #11 attributes even for smaller keys. If more compact representation not possible or insufficient, the other option is to double the size of a keystore object, making it two flash subsectors for a total of 8192 octets. Which would of course halve the number of keys we can store and require a bunch of little tweaks all through the ks code (particularly flash erase), so definitely worth trying for a more compact representation first.
2017-09-09Whack with club until compiles.Rob Austein
2017-05-30Merge branch 'logout' into ks9Rob Austein
The internal keystore API has changed enough since where the "logout" branch forked that a plain merge would have no prayer of compiling, must less running. So this merge goes well beyond manual conflict resolution: it salvages the useful code from the "logout" branch, with additional code as needed to reimplement the functionality. Sorry.
2017-05-29Simplify per-session keys.Rob Austein
Cosmetic cleanup of pkey_slot along the way.
2017-05-28Almost compiles.Rob Austein
Need to refactor init sequence slightly (again), this time to humor the bootloader, which has its own special read-only view of the PIN block in the token keystore.
2017-05-28Further keystore cleanup and consolidation.Rob Austein
Still not yet expected to compile, much less run, but getting closer.
2017-05-25Checkpoint while refactoring. Almost certainly will not compile.Rob Austein
2017-05-23Goodbye ancient mmap()-based keystore.Rob Austein
The Novena-era mmap()-based keystore is far enough out of date that it's not worth maintaining (and we haven't been doing so): if we ever need one again, it would be easier to rewrite it from scratch.
2017-05-22First pass on experimental one-size-fits-nobody keystore.Rob Austein
Support for variable-length keystore objects significantly complicates the keystore implementation, including serious some serious code bloat and a complex recovery algorithm to deal with crashes or loss of power at exactly the wrong time. Perhaps we don't really need this? So this is an experiment to see whether we can replace variable-length keystore objects with fixed-length, perhaps with a compile time option to let us make the fixed object length be 8192 bytes instead of 4096 bytes when needed to hold things like large RSA keys. First pass on this is just throwing away nearly 1,000 lines of excessively complex code. The result probably won't even compile yet, but it's already significantly easier to read.

2017-04-26Lower PBKDF2 password iterations and add delay on bad PIN.Rob Austein
Consistent user complaints about HSM login taking too long. Underlying issue has both superficial and fundamental causes. Superficial: Our PBKDF2 implementation is slow. We could almost certainly make it faster by taking advantage of partial pre-calculation (see notes in code) and by reenabling use of FPGA hash cores when when checking passwords (which mgiht require linking the bootloader against a separate libhal build to avoid chicken-and-egg problem of needing FPGA to log into console to configure FPGA). Fundamental: The PBKDF2 iteration counts we used to use (10,000 minimum, 20,000 default) are in line with current NIST recommendations. The new, faster values (1,000 and 2,000, respectively) are not, or, rather, they're in line with what NIST recommended a decade ago. Well, OK, maybe the Coretex M4 is so slow that it's living in the past, but still. The fundamental issue is that anybody who can capture the encoded PIN can mount an offline dictionary attack on it, so we'd like to make that expensive. But the users are unhappy with the current behavior, so this change falls back to the ancient technique of adding a delay (currently five seconds, configurable at compile time) after a bad PIN, which makes it painful to use the login function as an oracle but does nothing about the offline dictionary attack problem. Feh. Note that users can still choose a higher iteration count, by setting the iteration count via the console. It's just not the default out of the box anymore.

2017-04-25Shake dumb compile-time bugs out of new logout code.Rob Austein
What I get for writing code while build and test environment is tied up with a multi-day run testing something else.
2017-04-24Call a portable entrenching tool a portable entrenching tool.Rob Austein
2017-04-24Clean up pkey slots and volatile keys on client logout.Rob Austein
2017-04-23Avoid deadlock triggered by low-probability race condition.Rob Austein
Static code analysis (Doxygen call graph) detected a low-probability race condition which could have triggered a deadlock on the keystore mutex if the mkmif code returns with an error like HAL_ERROR_CORE_BUSY when we're trying to fetch the KEK. This is a knock-on effect of the awful kludge of backing up the KEK in the keystore flash as an alternative to powering the MKM with a battery as called for in the design. This code path should not exist at all, but, for now, we avoid the deadlock by making it the caller's responsibility to grab the keystore mutex before looking up the KEK.
2017-04-15Logging infrastructure.Rob Austein
2017-04-11API cleanup: pkey_open() and pkey_match().Rob Austein
pkey_open() now looks in both keystores rather than requiring the user to know. The chance of collision with randomly-generated UUID is low enough that we really ought to be able to present a single namespace. So now we do. pkey_match() now takes a couple of extra arguments which allow a single search to cover both keystores, as well as matching for specific key flags. The former interface was pretty much useless for anything involving flags, and required the user to issue a separate call for each keystore. User wheel is now exempt from the per-session key lookup constraints, Whether this is a good idea or not is an interesting question, but the whole PKCS #11 derived per-session key thing is weird to begin with, and having keystore listings on the console deliberately ignore session keys was just too confusing.
2017-04-07Pull key type information from uploaded key in hal_rpc_pkey_load().Rob Austein
Now that we use PKCS #8 format for private keys, all key formats we use include ASN.1 AlgorithmIdentifier field describing the key, so specifying key type and curve as arguments to hal_rpc_pkey_load() is neither necessary nor particularly useful.
2017-04-05First cut at key backup code. Not tested yet.Rob Austein
Still missing Python script to drive backup process, and need to do something about setting the EXPORTABLE key flag for this to be useful.
2017-04-03PKCS #8 bumps max key buffer size up by a few bytes.Rob Austein
2017-02-02Add locking around keystore operations.Rob Austein
2017-01-05Whack multiplexer to handle console too.Rob Austein
Renamed multiplexer to cryptech_muxd, since it now handles both RPC and CTY. Added new program cryptech_console to act as client for CTY multiplexer. Might want to add console logging capability eventually, not today. Probably want to incorporate UART probing (what cryptech_probe does now) eventually, also not today.
2017-01-04Convert "daemon" mode of C client code to use Python RPC MUX.Rob Austein
2016-12-21Add hal_ks_init_read_only_pins_only() so bootloader can use PINs.Rob Austein
2016-11-21Whack attribute code with a club until it works with PKCS #11.Rob Austein
PKCS #11 supports zero-length attributes (eg, CKA_LABEL) so hack of using zero length attribute as NIL value won't work, instead we use a slightly more portable version of the hack PKCS #11 uses (PKCS #11 stuffs -1 into a CK_ULONG, we stuff 0xFFFFFFFF into a uint32_t). ks_attribute.c code was trying too hard and tripping over its own socks. Instead of trying to maintain attributes[] in place during modification, we now perform the minimum necessary change then re-scan the block. This is (very slightly) slower but more robust, both because the scan code has better error checking and because it's the scan code that we want to be sure is happy before committing a change. Rename hal_rpc_pkey_attribute_t to hal_pkey_attribute_t.
2016-11-20Move UUID utilities to hal.h; change attribute values to (const void *).Rob Austein
2016-11-19Support queries for attribute length and presence.Rob Austein
Calling hal_rpc_pkey_get_attributes() with attribute_buffer_len = 0 now changes the return behavior so that it reports the lengths of attributes listed in the query, with a length of zero for attributes not present at all. This is mostly to support C_GetAttributeValue() in PKCS #11, but we also use it to make the Python interface a bit kinder to the user.
2016-11-15Allow keystore reinitialization without re-allocating static memory.Rob Austein
Wiping the keystore flash requires reinitializing the keystore, but we don't want to allocate new static memory when we do this.
2016-11-14More API cleanup: remove hal_rpc_pkey_list().Rob Austein
hal_rpc_pkey_list() was a simplistic solution that worked when the keystore only supported a handful of keys and we needed a quick temporary solution in time for a workshop. It doesn't handle large numbers of keys well, and while we could fix that, all of its functionality is now available via more robust API functions, so simplifying the API by deleting it seems best. Since this change required mucking with dispatch vectors yet again, it converts them to use C99 "designated initializer" syntax.
2016-11-14hal_rpc_pkey_find() -> hal_rpc_pkey_open().Rob Austein
2016-11-14Remove now-gratuitous check which kept attribute deletion from working.Rob Austein
This check made sense when attribute deletion was a separate operation, but now that it has been folded into set_attributes(), this check was worse than useless.
2016-11-10Clean out huge swacks of RPC API we don't need anymore.Rob Austein
pkey attribute API is now just set_attributes() and get_attributes().
2016-11-10First cut at ks_flash support for attribute get/set/delete API.Rob Austein
Passes minimal unit-testing and the same minimal tests report that it does deliver the desired performance speed-up. More testing and much cleanup still needed. Attribute API not quite stable yet, we're probably going to want to remove all the singleton attribute operations from the RPC protocol, and it turns out that ks_delete_attributes() has enough code in common with ks_set_attributes() that it makes more sense to handle the former as a special case of the latter.
2016-11-08First cut at multi-attribute get/set/delete API.Rob Austein
This is not yet complete, only the ks_volatile driver supports it, ks_flash will be a bit more complicated and isn't written yet. At the moment, this adds a complete duplicate set of {set,get,delete}_attributes() functions in parallel to the earlier {set,get,delete}_attribute() functions. We will almost certainly want to get rid of the duplicates, probably (but not necessarily) the entire single-attribute suite. At the moment, though, we want both sets so we can compare execution speeds of the two sets of functions.
2016-11-01Add hal_rpc_pkey_get_key_curve().Rob Austein
Incidental minor refactoring of hal_rpc_server_dispatch().
2016-11-01hal_ks_index_fsck() and a pile of debugging code.Rob Austein
The debugging code was for tracking down what turned out to be a race condition in the Alpha's flash driver code (see sw/stm32); much of this was temporary, and will be removed in a (near) future commit, but some of the techniques were useful and belong in the repository in case we need to pull them back for something similar in the future. hal_ks_index_fsck() attempts to diagnose all the things I found wrong in the ks_flash index after one long series of errors. As presently written, it doesn't attempt to fix anything, just diagnose errors: the intent is that we can call this, before and after every modification if necessary, to poinpoint exactly which calls introduce errors. Once things stablize a bit, we may want to crank down the number of calls to this (it's a bit expensive, since it checks the entire index), and perhaps add the ability to clean up whatever errors it might find; the latter might be a good candidate for a CLI command.
2016-10-24Make previous_uuid an input-only argument to hal_rpc_pkey_match().Rob Austein
In retrospect it's obvious that this never needed to be an input/output argument, as its value will always be the same as the last value in the returned array. Doh. So simplify the RPC and call sequence slightly by removing the unnecessary output value.
2016-10-14Keystore attribute code. Not really tested.Rob Austein
Passes PKCS #11 "make test" but nothing uses the new attribute code yet. Refactored some of the flash block update code. Attribute code is annoyingly verbose, might be possible to refactor some of that.
2016-10-09Per-session objects in ks_volatile; more untested ks_attribute code.Rob Austein
Mostly this is another checkpoint (still passes PKCS #11 "make test"). ks_volatile.c now contains support for per-session object visibility; this may need more work to support things like a CLI view of all objects regardless of session. Adding this required minor changes to the keystore and pkey APIs, mostly because sessions are per-client. ks_volatile.c also contains an untested first cut at attribute support. Attribute support in ks_flash.c still under construction.
2016-10-07Fix session handle arguments in RPC calls.Rob Austein
RPC calls which pass a pkey handle don't need to pass a session handle, because the session handle is already in the HSM's pkey slot object; pkey RPC calls which don't pass a pkey argument do need to pass a session handle. This change percolates down to the keystore driver, because only the keystore driver knows whether that particular keystore cares about session handles.
2016-10-07Checkpoint along the way to adding keystore attribute support.Rob Austein
This is mostly to archive a commit where PKCS #11 "make test" still works after converting the ks_volatile code to use SDRAM allocated at startup instead of (large) static variables. The attribute code itself is incomplete at this point.
2016-09-30Multi-block object support in keystore.Rob Austein
The main reason for supporting multi-block objects is to allow the PKCS #11 code to attach more attributes than will fit comfortably in a single flash block. This may turn out to be unnecessary once we've fleshed out the attribute storage and retrieval code; if so, we can simplify the code, but this way the keystore won't impose arbitrary (and somewhat inscrutable) size limits on PKCS #11 attributes for large keys. This snapshot passes light testing (PKCS #11 "make test" runs), but the tombstone recovery code in ks_init() is a bit involved, and needs more testing with simulated failures (probably induced under GDB).
2016-09-27Add hal_ks_index_replace().Rob Austein
2016-09-23Use subsectors instead of sectors in keystore.Rob Austein
2016-09-16Debug new ks_flash code.Rob Austein
2016-09-16Revised ks_flash. Compiles, not yet tested.Rob Austein
2016-09-13Cleanup prior to rewriting ks_flash.c.Rob Austein
Whack masterkey code to meet libhal coding standards, such as they are. Started layout of new ks_flash data structures but no changes to functions or flash usage yet. MKM initialization from flash placed under compile-time conditional with warning because it's a dangerous kludge that should go away. Started getting rid of obsolete keystore code; ks_mmap.c kept for now, until I get around to merging the useful bits into ks_volatile.
2016-09-12CRC-32 code for use in ks_flash, stm32 DFU, possibly elsewhere.Rob Austein
This is an open source C99 CRC-32 implementation generated by pycrc, see notes in source on copyright status and pycrc options used. crc32.c contains two different implementations of the CRC-32 algorithm with the same API, one optimized for speed, the other optimized for much smaller code space at the expense of speed. We use the fast implementation by default, but maybe the small implementation will be useful, eg, in the bootloader. Remove the extra later if this turns out to have been a waste of time.
