[PATCH 1/4] DRBG: Select correct DRBG core for stdrng

[Stephan Mueller]

When the DRBG is initialized, the core is looked up using the DRBG name.
The name that can be used for the lookup is registered in
cra_driver_name. The cra_name value contains stdrng.

Thus, the lookup code must use crypto_tfm_alg_driver_name to obtain the
precise DRBG name and select the correct DRBG.

[PATCH 4/4] DRBG: HMAC-SHA1 DRBG has crypto strength of 128 bits

[Stephan Mueller]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 825 bytes --]

The patch corrects the security strength of the HMAC-SHA1 DRBG to 128
bits. This strength defines the size of the seed required for the DRBG.
Thus, the patch lowers the seeding requirement from 256 bits to 128 bits
for HMAC-SHA1.

[PATCH 2/4] DRBG: Mix a time stamp into DRBG state

[Stephan Mueller]

The current locking approach of the DRBG tries to keep the protected
code paths very minimal. It is therefore possible that two threads query
one DRBG instance at the same time. When thread A requests random
numbers, a shadow copy of the DRBG state is created upon which the
request for A is processed. After finishing the state for A's request is
merged back into the DRBG state. If now thread B requests random numbers
from the same DRBG after the request for thread A is received, but
before A's shadow state is merged back, the random numbers for B will be
identical to the ones for A. Please note that the time window is very
small for this scenario.

To prevent that there is even a theoretical chance for thread A and B
having the same DRBG state, the current time stamp is provided as
additional information string for each new request.

The addition of the time stamp as additional information string implies
that now all generate functions must be capable to process a linked
list with additional information strings instead of a scalar.

[PATCH 3/4] DRBG: fix memory corruption for AES192

[Stephan Mueller]

For the CTR DRBG, the drbg_state->scratchpad temp buffer (i.e. the
memory location immediately before the drbg_state->tfm variable
is the buffer that the BCC function operates on. BCC operates
blockwise. Making the temp buffer drbg_statelen(drbg) in size is
sufficient when the DRBG state length is a multiple of the block
size. For AES192 this is not the case and the length for temp is
insufficient (yes, that also means for such ciphers, the final
output of all BCC rounds are truncated before used to update the
state of the DRBG!!).

The patch enlarges the temp buffer from drbg_statelen to
drbg_statelen + drbg_blocklen to have sufficient space.

[PATCH 1/4] DRBG: Select correct DRBG core for stdrng

[Stephan Mueller]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 978 bytes --]

When the DRBG is initialized, the core is looked up using the DRBG name.
The name that can be used for the lookup is registered in
cra_driver_name. The cra_name value contains stdrng.

Thus, the lookup code must use crypto_tfm_alg_driver_name to obtain the
precise DRBG name and select the correct DRBG.

I have applied just this patch out of your series.  You patches
depend on the previous four patches which I have not yet applied
since there are still outstanding issues with two of them.

BTW your patches were all corrupted by your mailer so I had to
fix them by hand.  Please check the cryptodev tree to ensure
that my fixes are correct.

In future please test your patches by applying your own patches
returned via the list.

Thank you.

The raised issues are for patches [1] and [2].

The issue around [1] is whether there is Kconfig solution for the problem of 
selecting at least one or more than one configure option from a set of 
options. This should avoid having a module init function with returns an 
error. The selection of DRBG cores shall allow the user to compile the DRBG to 
suit his needs and reduce the footprint of the DRBG. Since at least one DRBG 
core must be selected as otherwise the DRBG is meaningless. Unfortunately I 
have not found a solution with Kconfig and all given suggestions also did not 
lead to a solution. So, if anybody has a suggestion on how to solve the issue, 
I will try it out.

Regarding [2], the issue is that ARRAY_SIZE returns different variable types 
on different platforms (e.g. unsigned long on x86_64 vs unsigned int on i386). 
Thus I have to use a type cast. This issue may be fixed by forcing a 
particular type to ARRAY_SIZE. Such change, however, may have quite some 
ripple effects throughout the kernel. Therefore, IMHO such a patch should not 
be made in the realm of the DRBG patchset and the type cast should be allowed.
