Squashed 'lib/mbedtls/external/mbedtls/' content from commit 2ca6c285a0dd git-subtree-dir: lib/mbedtls/external/mbedtls git-subtree-split: 2ca6c285a0dd3f33982dd57299012dacab1ff206
Mbed TLS is a C library that implements cryptographic primitives, X.509 certificate manipulation and the SSL/TLS and DTLS protocols. Its small code footprint makes it suitable for embedded systems.
Mbed TLS includes a reference implementation of the PSA Cryptography API. This is currently a preview for evaluation purposes only.
Mbed TLS should build out of the box on most systems. Some platform specific options are available in the fully documented configuration file include/mbedtls/mbedtls_config.h, which is also the place where features can be selected. This file can be edited manually, or in a more programmatic way using the Python 3 script scripts/config.py (use --help for usage instructions).
Compiler options can be set using conventional environment variables such as CC and CFLAGS when using the Make and CMake build system (see below).
We provide some non-standard configurations focused on specific use cases in the configs/ directory. You can read more about those in configs/README.txt
The main Mbed TLS documentation is available via ReadTheDocs.
Documentation for the PSA Cryptography API is available on GitHub.
To generate a local copy of the library documentation in HTML format, tailored to your compile-time configuration:
make apidoc.apidoc/index.html or apidoc/modules.html.For other sources of documentation, see the SUPPORT document.
There are currently three active build systems used within Mbed TLS releases:
The main systems used for development are CMake and GNU Make. Those systems are always complete and up-to-date. The others should reflect all changes present in the CMake and Make build system, although features may not be ported there automatically.
The Make and CMake build systems create three libraries: libmbedcrypto, libmbedx509, and libmbedtls. Note that libmbedtls depends on libmbedx509 and libmbedcrypto, and libmbedx509 depends on libmbedcrypto. As a result, some linkers will expect flags to be in a specific order, for example the GNU linker wants -lmbedtls -lmbedx509 -lmbedcrypto.
You need the following tools to build the library with the provided makefiles:
The development branch and the mbedtls-3.6 long-term support branch of Mbed TLS use a Git submodule (framework). This is not needed to merely compile the library at a release tag. This is not needed to consume a release archive (zip or tar).
The source code of Mbed TLS includes some files that are automatically generated by scripts and whose content depends only on the Mbed TLS source, not on the platform or on the library configuration. These files are not included in the development branch of Mbed TLS, but the generated files are included in official releases. This section explains how to generate the missing files in the development branch.
The following tools are required:
python3 -m pip install --user -r scripts/basic.requirements.txtDepending on your Python installation, you may need to invoke
python instead of python3. To install the packages system-wide, omit the --user option.If you are cross-compiling, you must set the CC environment variable to a C compiler for the host platform when generating the configuration-independent files.
Any of the following methods are available to generate the configuration-independent files:
make with any target, or just make, will automatically generate required files.make generated_files to generate all the configuration-independent files.tests/scripts/check-generated-files.sh -u to generate all the configuration-independent files.scripts\make_generated_files.bat to generate all the configuration-independent files.We require GNU Make. To build the library and the sample programs, GNU Make and a C compiler are sufficient. Some of the more advanced build targets require some Unix/Linux tools.
We intentionally only use a minimum of functionality in the makefiles in order to keep them as simple and independent of different toolchains as possible, to allow users to more easily move between different platforms. Users who need more features are recommended to use CMake.
In order to build from the source code using GNU Make, just enter at the command line:
make
In order to run the tests, enter:
make check
The tests need Python to be built and Perl to be run. If you don't have one of them installed, you can skip building the tests with:
make no_test
You'll still be able to run a much smaller set of tests with:
programs/test/selftest
In order to build for a Windows platform, you should use WINDOWS_BUILD=1 if the target is Windows but the build environment is Unix-like (for instance when cross-compiling, or compiling from an MSYS shell), and WINDOWS=1 if the build environment is a Windows shell (for instance using mingw32-make) (in that case some targets will not be available).
Setting the variable SHARED in your environment will build shared libraries in addition to the static libraries. Setting DEBUG gives you a debug build. You can override CFLAGS and LDFLAGS by setting them in your environment or on the make command line; compiler warning options may be overridden separately using WARNING_CFLAGS. Some directory-specific options (for example, -I directives) are still preserved.
Please note that setting CFLAGS overrides its default value of -O2 and setting WARNING_CFLAGS overrides its default value (starting with -Wall -Wextra), so if you just want to add some warning options to the default ones, you can do so by setting CFLAGS=-O2 -Werror for example. Setting WARNING_CFLAGS is useful when you want to get rid of its default content (for example because your compiler doesn't accept -Wall as an option). Directory-specific options cannot be overridden from the command line.
Depending on your platform, you might run into some issues. Please check the Makefiles in library/, programs/ and tests/ for options to manually add or remove for specific platforms. You can also check the Mbed TLS Knowledge Base for articles on your platform or issue.
In case you find that you need to do something else as well, please let us know what, so we can add it to the Mbed TLS Knowledge Base.
In order to build the source using CMake in a separate directory (recommended), just enter at the command line:
mkdir /path/to/build_dir && cd /path/to/build_dir cmake /path/to/mbedtls_source cmake --build .
In order to run the tests, enter:
ctest
The test suites need Python to be built and Perl to be executed. If you don't have one of these installed, you'll want to disable the test suites with:
cmake -DENABLE_TESTING=Off /path/to/mbedtls_source
If you disabled the test suites, but kept the programs enabled, you can still run a much smaller set of tests with:
programs/test/selftest
To configure CMake for building shared libraries, use:
cmake -DUSE_SHARED_MBEDTLS_LIBRARY=On /path/to/mbedtls_source
There are many different build modes available within the CMake buildsystem. Most of them are available for gcc and clang, though some are compiler-specific:
Release. This generates the default code without any unnecessary information in the binary files.Debug. This generates debug information and disables optimization of the code.Coverage. This generates code coverage information in addition to debug information.ASan. This instruments the code with AddressSanitizer to check for memory errors. (This includes LeakSanitizer, with recent version of gcc and clang.) (With recent version of clang, this mode also instruments the code with UndefinedSanitizer to check for undefined behaviour.)ASanDbg. Same as ASan but slower, with debug information and better stack traces.MemSan. This instruments the code with MemorySanitizer to check for uninitialised memory reads. Experimental, needs recent clang on Linux/x86_64.MemSanDbg. Same as MemSan but slower, with debug information, better stack traces and origin tracking.Check. This activates the compiler warnings that depend on optimization and treats all warnings as errors.Switching build modes in CMake is simple. For debug mode, enter at the command line:
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug /path/to/mbedtls_source
To list other available CMake options, use:
cmake -LH
Note that, with CMake, you can't adjust the compiler or its flags after the initial invocation of cmake. This means that CC=your_cc make and make CC=your_cc will not work (similarly with CFLAGS and other variables). These variables need to be adjusted when invoking cmake for the first time, for example:
CC=your_cc cmake /path/to/mbedtls_source
If you already invoked cmake and want to change those settings, you need to remove the build directory and create it again.
Note that it is possible to build in-place; this will however overwrite the provided Makefiles (see scripts/tmp_ignore_makefiles.sh if you want to prevent git status from showing them as modified). In order to do so, from the Mbed TLS source directory, use:
cmake . make
If you want to change CC or CFLAGS afterwards, you will need to remove the CMake cache. This can be done with the following command using GNU find:
find . -iname '*cmake*' -not -name CMakeLists.txt -exec rm -rf {} +
You can now make the desired change:
CC=your_cc cmake . make
Regarding variables, also note that if you set CFLAGS when invoking cmake, your value of CFLAGS doesn't override the content provided by cmake (depending on the build mode as seen above), it's merely prepended to it.
Mbed TLS provides a package config file for consumption as a dependency in other CMake projects. You can include Mbed TLS's CMake targets yourself with:
find_package(MbedTLS)
If prompted, set MbedTLS_DIR to ${YOUR_MBEDTLS_INSTALL_DIR}/cmake. This creates the following targets:
MbedTLS::mbedcrypto (Crypto library)MbedTLS::mbedtls (TLS library)MbedTLS::mbedx509 (X509 library)You can then use these directly through target_link_libraries():
add_executable(xyz)
target_link_libraries(xyz
PUBLIC MbedTLS::mbedtls
MbedTLS::mbedcrypto
MbedTLS::mbedx509)
This will link the Mbed TLS libraries to your library or application, and add its include directories to your target (transitively, in the case of PUBLIC or INTERFACE link libraries).
Mbed TLS supports being built as a CMake subproject. One can use add_subdirectory() from a parent CMake project to include Mbed TLS as a subproject.
The build files for Microsoft Visual Studio are generated for Visual Studio 2017.
The solution file mbedTLS.sln contains all the basic projects needed to build the library and all the programs. The files in tests are not generated and compiled, as these need Python and perl environments as well. However, the selftest program in programs/test/ is still available.
In the development branch of Mbed TLS, the Visual Studio solution files need to be generated first as described in “Generated source files in the development branch”.
We've included example programs for a lot of different features and uses in programs/. Please note that the goal of these sample programs is to demonstrate specific features of the library, and the code may need to be adapted to build a real-world application.
Mbed TLS includes an elaborate test suite in tests/ that initially requires Python to generate the tests files (e.g. test\_suite\_mpi.c). These files are generated from a function file (e.g. suites/test\_suite\_mpi.function) and a data file (e.g. suites/test\_suite\_mpi.data). The function file contains the test functions. The data file contains the test cases, specified as parameters that will be passed to the test function.
For machines with a Unix shell and OpenSSL (and optionally GnuTLS) installed, additional test scripts are available:
tests/ssl-opt.sh runs integration tests for various TLS options (renegotiation, resumption, etc.) and tests interoperability of these options with other implementations.tests/compat.sh tests interoperability of every ciphersuite with other implementations.tests/scripts/test-ref-configs.pl test builds in various reduced configurations.tests/scripts/depends.py test builds in configurations with a single curve, key exchange, hash, cipher, or pkalg on.tests/scripts/all.sh runs a combination of the above tests, plus some more, with various build options (such as ASan, full mbedtls_config.h, etc).Instead of manually installing the required versions of all tools required for testing, it is possible to use the Docker images from our CI systems, as explained in our testing infrastructure repository.
Mbed TLS can be ported to many different architectures, OS's and platforms. Before starting a port, you may find the following Knowledge Base articles useful:
Mbed TLS is mostly written in portable C99; however, it has a few platform requirements that go beyond the standard, but are met by most modern architectures:
int and size_t must be at least 32 bits wide.uint8_t, uint16_t, uint32_t and their signed equivalents must be available.Arm's Platform Security Architecture (PSA) is a holistic set of threat models, security analyses, hardware and firmware architecture specifications, and an open source firmware reference implementation. PSA provides a recipe, based on industry best practice, that allows security to be consistently designed in, at both a hardware and firmware level.
The PSA cryptography API provides access to a set of cryptographic primitives. It has a dual purpose. First, it can be used in a PSA-compliant platform to build services, such as secure boot, secure storage and secure communication. Second, it can also be used independently of other PSA components on any platform.
The design goals of the PSA cryptography API include:
Arm welcomes feedback on the design of the API. If you think something could be improved, please open an issue on our Github repository. Alternatively, if you prefer to provide your feedback privately, please email us at mbed-crypto@arm.com. All feedback received by email is treated confidentially.
Mbed TLS includes a reference implementation of the PSA Cryptography API. However, it does not aim to implement the whole specification; in particular it does not implement all the algorithms.
The X.509 and TLS code can use PSA cryptography for most operations. To enable this support, activate the compilation option MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO in mbedtls_config.h. Note that TLS 1.3 uses PSA cryptography for most operations regardless of this option. See docs/use-psa-crypto.md for details.
Mbed TLS supports drivers for cryptographic accelerators, secure elements and random generators. This is work in progress. Please note that the driver interfaces are not fully stable yet and may change without notice. We intend to preserve backward compatibility for application code (using the PSA Crypto API), but the code of the drivers may have to change in future minor releases of Mbed TLS.
Please see the PSA driver example and guide for information on writing a driver.
When using drivers, you will generally want to enable two compilation options (see the reference manual for more information):
MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is necessary so that the X.509 and TLS code calls the PSA drivers rather than the built-in software implementation.MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG allows you to enable PSA cryptographic mechanisms without including the code of the corresponding software implementation. This is not yet supported for all mechanisms.Unless specifically indicated otherwise in a file, Mbed TLS files are provided under a dual Apache-2.0 OR GPL-2.0-or-later license.
