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.

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.

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.

Fixed handling of deletion actions: code was still using the
zero-length attribute convention instead of HAL_PKEY_ATTRIBUTE_NIL.
Track existing attributes more closely while copying data from old
chunks to new ones in the slow path: the old algorithm had a few
dangerous corner cases which could have resulted in the wrong values
being written to the new chunks.
Single-block-update fast path now under compile-time conditional; in
the long run, we probably want this enabled, but it's disabled for now
in order to force use and testing of the slow path.
This function probably needs to be broken up into a collection of
smaller inline functions for readability.

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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Wiping the keystore flash requires reinitializing the keystore, but we
don't want to allocate new static memory when we do this.
|
|
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.
|
|
pkey attribute API is now just set_attributes() and get_attributes().
|
|
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.
|
|
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.

ks_set_attribute() was written before hal_ks_index_fsck(), and was
violating the latter's assumptions for no particularly good reason.
Writing out new chunks in the expected order is no more work, and
simplifies the consistency checks, so do it that way.
|
|
Old calling sequence didn't quite work, caller had no sane way to know
how large the buffer needed to be. Revised sequence is similar to
what the PKCS #11 C_FindObject() call does: return the next batch of
UUIDs, up to the number specified, end of data indicated by getting
back something less than a full block of UUIDs.

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.
|
|
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.
|
|
The filtering code for this function has not been tested yet.
|
|
hal_rpc_pkey_match() still untested.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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).
|

* block_status is now a separate field from block_type, rather than
being a composite value.
* block_status is checked directly for allowed values in block_read(),
and is excluded from the CRC, simplifying the tombstone logic and
removing the need for a second CRC field.
* Added header fields to allow for objects too large to fit in a
single block (8192-bit RSA keys, any key with enough opaque
attributes attached). So far this is just the header changes, it's
not (yet) full support for multi-block objects.
|
|
Order of operations is tricky when updating flash blocks, because the
process is not atomic and we want to leave the index in a consistent
state if something fails.
|
|
|
|
block_read() no longer needs `fast` argument.
block_zero() now just zeros first page of block.
|
|
Running this check in constant time probably isn't necessary, but it
plugs a (somewhat far-fetched) timing leak and is easy enough. While
we're at this, we also skip the CRC check, which is irrelevant here.

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.

Now that key names are UUIDs generated by the HSM, there's no real
need to specify type key type when looking up a key, and removing the
`type` argument allows a few simplifications of both the internal
keystore API and of client code calling the public RPC API.
|
|
|
|
Fixes for various minor issues found while integrating with sw/stm32.
Moving the in-memory keystore (PKCS #11 session objects, etc) from the
client library to the HSM was on the near term to-do list in any case,
doing it now turned out to be the easiest way to solve one of the
build problems.
|
|
Changes to implement a revised keystore API. This code probably won't
even compile properly yet, and almost certainly will not run, but most
of the expected changes are complete at this point. Main points:
* Key names are now UUIDs, and are generated by the HSM, not the client.
* Keystore API no longer assumes that key database is resident in
memory (original API was written on the assumption that the keystore
flash would be mapped into the HSM CPU's address space, but
apparently the board and flash drivers don't really support that).
A few other changes have probably crept in, but the bulk of this
changeset is just following through implications of the above, some of
which percolate all the way back to the public RPC API.

The KEK (Key Encryption Key) is first fetched from the FPGA that gets it
from the volatile Master Key Memory (that in theory has tamper*kek_len =
len protection with wiping), and secondly from flash.
The flash option is meant for development/evaluation use using an Alpha
board where the Master Key Memory is not battery backed. For any serious
use of an Alpha, an option is to enter the master key into the volatile
MKM on each power-on as a way to unlock the keystore.
