Detailed Description

This file contains Diffie-Hellman-Merkle (DHM) key exchange definitions and functions.

Diffie-Hellman-Merkle (DHM) key exchange is defined in RFC-2631: Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Method and Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #3: Diffie Hellman Key Agreement Standard.

RFC-3526: More Modular Exponential (MODP) Diffie-Hellman groups for Internet Key Exchange (IKE) defines a number of standardized Diffie-Hellman groups for IKE.

RFC-5114: Additional Diffie-Hellman Groups for Use with IETF Standards defines a number of standardized Diffie-Hellman groups that can be used.

Warning

The security of the DHM key exchange relies on the proper choice of prime modulus - optimally, it should be a safe prime. The usage of non-safe primes both decreases the difficulty of the underlying discrete logarithm problem and can lead to small subgroup attacks leaking private exponent bits when invalid public keys are used and not detected. This is especially relevant if the same DHM parameters are reused for multiple key exchanges as in static DHM, while the criticality of small-subgroup attacks is lower for ephemeral DHM.

For performance reasons, the code does neither perform primality nor safe primality tests, nor the expensive checks for invalid subgroups. Moreover, even if these were performed, non-standardized primes cannot be trusted because of the possibility of backdoors that can't be effectively checked for.

Diffie-Hellman-Merkle is therefore a security risk when not using standardized primes generated using a trustworthy ("nothing up my sleeve") method, such as the RFC 3526 / 7919 primes. In the TLS protocol, DH parameters need to be negotiated, so using the default primes systematically is not always an option. If possible, use Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH), which has better performance, and for which the TLS protocol mandates the use of standard parameters.

The constants with suffix "_p" denote the chosen prime moduli, while the constants with suffix "_g" denote the chosen generator of the associated prime field.

The constants further suffixed with "_bin" are provided in binary format, while all other constants represent null-terminated strings holding the hexadecimal presentation of the respective numbers.

The primes from RFC 3526 and RFC 7919 have been generating by the following trust-worthy procedure:

• Fix N in { 2048, 3072, 4096, 6144, 8192 } and consider the N-bit number the first and last 64 bits are all 1, and the remaining N - 128 bits of which are 0x7ff...ff.
• Add the smallest multiple of the first N - 129 bits of the binary expansion of pi (for RFC 5236) or e (for RFC 7919) to this intermediate bit-string such that the resulting integer is a safe-prime.
• The result is the respective RFC 3526 / 7919 prime, and the corresponding generator is always chosen to be 2 (which is a square for these prime, hence the corresponding subgroup has order (p-1)/2 and avoids leaking a bit in the private exponent).

  Warning

  The origin of the primes in RFC 5114 is not documented and their use therefore constitutes a security risk!

  Deprecated:

  The hex-encoded primes from RFC 5114 are deprecated and are likely to be removed in a future version of the library without replacement.

Typedef Documentation

mbedtls_dhm_context

typedef struct mbedtls_dhm_context mbedtls_dhm_context

The DHM context structure.

Function Documentation

mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()

int mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret	(	mbedtls_dhm_context *	ctx,
		unsigned char *	output,
		size_t	output_size,
		size_t *	olen,
		int(*)(void *, unsigned char *, size_t)	f_rng,
		void *	p_rng
	)

This function derives and exports the shared secret (G^Y)^X mod P.

Note

If f_rng is not NULL, it is used to blind the input as a countermeasure against timing attacks. Blinding is used only if our private key X is re-used, and not used otherwise. We recommend always passing a non-NULL f_rng argument.

Parameters

ctx	The DHM context to use. This must be initialized and have its own private key generated and the peer's public key imported.
output	The buffer to write the generated shared key to. This must be a writable buffer of size output_size Bytes.
output_size	The size of the destination buffer. This must be at least the size of ctx->len (the size of P).
olen	On exit, holds the actual number of Bytes written.
f_rng	The RNG function, for blinding purposes. This may b NULL if blinding isn't needed.
p_rng	The RNG context. This may be NULL if f_rng doesn't need a context argument.

Returns

0 on success.

An MBEDTLS_ERR_DHM_XXX error code on failure.

mbedtls_dhm_free()

void mbedtls_dhm_free

(

mbedtls_dhm_context *

ctx

)

This function frees and clears the components of a DHM context.

Parameters

ctx	The DHM context to free and clear. This may be NULL, in which case this function is a no-op. If it is not NULL, it must point to an initialized DHM context.

mbedtls_dhm_init()

void mbedtls_dhm_init

(

mbedtls_dhm_context *

ctx

)

This function initializes the DHM context.

Parameters

ctx	The DHM context to initialize.

mbedtls_dhm_make_params()

int mbedtls_dhm_make_params	(	mbedtls_dhm_context *	ctx,
		int	x_size,
		unsigned char *	output,
		size_t *	olen,
		int(*)(void *, unsigned char *, size_t)	f_rng,
		void *	p_rng
	)

This function generates a DHM key pair and exports its public part together with the DHM parameters in the format used in a TLS ServerKeyExchange handshake message.

Note

This function assumes that the DHM parameters ctx->P and ctx->G have already been properly set. For that, use mbedtls_dhm_set_group() below in conjunction with mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() and mbedtls_mpi_read_string().

In a TLS handshake, this is the how the server generates and exports its DHM key material.

Parameters

ctx	The DHM context to use. This must be initialized and have the DHM parameters set. It may or may not already have imported the peer's public key.
x_size	The private key size in Bytes.
olen	The address at which to store the number of Bytes written on success. This must not be NULL.
output	The destination buffer. This must be a writable buffer of sufficient size to hold the reduced binary presentation of the modulus, the generator and the public key, each wrapped with a 2-byte length field. It is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that enough space is available. Refer to mbedtls_mpi_size() to computing the byte-size of an MPI.
f_rng	The RNG function. Must not be NULL.
p_rng	The RNG context to be passed to f_rng. This may be NULL if f_rng doesn't need a context parameter.

Returns

0 on success.

An MBEDTLS_ERR_DHM_XXX error code on failure.

mbedtls_dhm_make_public()

int mbedtls_dhm_make_public	(	mbedtls_dhm_context *	ctx,
		int	x_size,
		unsigned char *	output,
		size_t	olen,
		int(*)(void *, unsigned char *, size_t)	f_rng,
		void *	p_rng
	)

This function creates a DHM key pair and exports the raw public key in big-endian format.

Note

The destination buffer is always fully written so as to contain a big-endian representation of G^X mod P. If it is larger than ctx->len, it is padded accordingly with zero-bytes at the beginning.

Parameters

ctx	The DHM context to use. This must be initialized and have the DHM parameters set. It may or may not already have imported the peer's public key.
x_size	The private key size in Bytes.
output	The destination buffer. This must be a writable buffer of size olen Bytes.
olen	The length of the destination buffer. This must be at least equal to ctx->len (the size of P).
f_rng	The RNG function. This must not be NULL.
p_rng	The RNG context to be passed to f_rng. This may be NULL if f_rng doesn't need a context argument.

Returns

0 on success.

An MBEDTLS_ERR_DHM_XXX error code on failure.

mbedtls_dhm_read_params()

int mbedtls_dhm_read_params	(	mbedtls_dhm_context *	ctx,
		unsigned char **	p,
		const unsigned char *	end
	)

This function parses the DHM parameters in a TLS ServerKeyExchange handshake message (DHM modulus, generator, and public key).

Note

In a TLS handshake, this is the how the client sets up its DHM context from the server's public DHM key material.

Parameters

ctx	The DHM context to use. This must be initialized.
p	On input, *p must be the start of the input buffer. On output, *p is updated to point to the end of the data that has been read. On success, this is the first byte past the end of the ServerKeyExchange parameters. On error, this is the point at which an error has been detected, which is usually not useful except to debug failures.
end	The end of the input buffer.

Returns

0 on success.

An MBEDTLS_ERR_DHM_XXX error code on failure.

mbedtls_dhm_read_public()

int mbedtls_dhm_read_public	(	mbedtls_dhm_context *	ctx,
		const unsigned char *	input,
		size_t	ilen
	)

This function imports the raw public value of the peer.

Note

In a TLS handshake, this is the how the server imports the Client's public DHM key.

Parameters

ctx	The DHM context to use. This must be initialized and have its DHM parameters set, e.g. via mbedtls_dhm_set_group(). It may or may not already have generated its own private key.
input	The input buffer containing the G^Y value of the peer. This must be a readable buffer of size ilen Bytes.
ilen	The size of the input buffer input in Bytes.

Returns

0 on success.

An MBEDTLS_ERR_DHM_XXX error code on failure.

mbedtls_dhm_set_group()

int mbedtls_dhm_set_group	(	mbedtls_dhm_context *	ctx,
		const mbedtls_mpi *	P,
		const mbedtls_mpi *	G
	)

This function sets the prime modulus and generator.

Note

This function can be used to set ctx->P, ctx->G in preparation for mbedtls_dhm_make_params().

Parameters

ctx	The DHM context to configure. This must be initialized.
P	The MPI holding the DHM prime modulus. This must be an initialized MPI.
G	The MPI holding the DHM generator. This must be an initialized MPI.

Returns

0 if successful.

An MBEDTLS_ERR_DHM_XXX error code on failure.
