* crypto: drbg - do not call drbg_instantiate in healt testStephan Mueller2016-08-161-11/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calling the DRBG health test in FIPS mode, the Jitter RNG is not yet present in the kernel crypto API which will cause the instantiation to fail and thus the health test to fail. As the health tests cover the enforcement of various thresholds, invoke the functions that are supposed to enforce the thresholds directly. This patch also saves precious seed.

* crypto: drbg - use CTR AES instead of ECB AESStephan Mueller2016-06-151-54/+139
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CTR DRBG derives its random data from the CTR that is encrypted with AES. This patch now changes the CTR DRBG implementation such that the CTR AES mode is employed. This allows the use of steamlined CTR AES implementation such as ctr-aes-aesni. Unfortunately there are the following subtile changes we need to apply when using the CTR AES mode: - the CTR mode increments the counter after the cipher operation, but the CTR DRBG requires the increment before the cipher op. Hence, the crypto_inc is applied to the counter (drbg->V) once it is recalculated. - the CTR mode wants to encrypt data, but the CTR DRBG is interested in the encrypted counter only. The full CTR mode is the XOR of the encrypted counter with the plaintext data. To access the encrypted counter, the patch uses a NULL data vector as plaintext to be "encrypted".

* crypto: drbg - reduce number of setkey callsStephan Mueller2016-06-021-9/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The CTR DRBG code always set the key for each sym cipher invocation even though the key has not been changed. The patch ensures that the setkey is only invoked when a new key is generated by the DRBG. With this patch, the CTR DRBG performance increases by more than 150%.

* crypto: drbg - reseed often if seedsource is degradedStephan Mueller2015-06-101-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As required by SP800-90A, the DRBG implements are reseeding threshold. This threshold is at 2**48 (64 bit) and 2**32 bit (32 bit) as implemented in drbg_max_requests. With the recently introduced changes, the DRBG is now always used as a stdrng which is initialized very early in the boot cycle. To ensure that sufficient entropy is present, the Jitter RNG is added to even provide entropy at early boot time. However, the 2nd seed source, the nonblocking pool, is usually degraded at that time. Therefore, the DRBG is seeded with the Jitter RNG (which I believe contains good entropy, which however is questioned by others) and is seeded with a degradded nonblocking pool. This seed is now used for quasi the lifetime of the system (2**48 requests is a lot). The patch now changes the reseed threshold as follows: up until the time the DRBG obtains a seed from a fully iniitialized nonblocking pool, the reseeding threshold is lowered such that the DRBG is forced to reseed itself resonably often. Once it obtains the seed from a fully initialized nonblocking pool, the reseed threshold is set to the value required by SP800-90A.

* crypto: drbg - Use callback API for random readinessStephan Mueller2015-06-101-91/+126
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The get_blocking_random_bytes API is broken because the wait can be arbitrarily long (potentially forever) so there is no safe way of calling it from within the kernel. This patch replaces it with the new callback API which does not have this problem. The patch also removes the entropy buffer registered with the DRBG handle in favor of stack variables to hold the seed data.

* crypto: drbg - use Jitter RNG to obtain seedStephan Mueller2015-05-271-7/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During initialization, the DRBG now tries to allocate a handle of the Jitter RNG. If such a Jitter RNG is available during seeding, the DRBG pulls the required entropy/nonce string from get_random_bytes and concatenates it with a string of equal size from the Jitter RNG. That combined string is now the seed for the DRBG. Written differently, the initial seed of the DRBG is now: get_random_bytes(entropy/nonce) || jitterentropy (entropy/nonce) If the Jitter RNG is not available, the DRBG only seeds from get_random_bytes.

* crypto: drbg - add async seeding operationStephan Mueller2015-05-271-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The async seeding operation is triggered during initalization right after the first non-blocking seeding is completed. As required by the asynchronous operation of random.c, a callback function is provided that is triggered by random.c once entropy is available. That callback function performs the actual seeding of the DRBG.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to prepare for the addition of the asynchronous seeding call, the invocation of seeding the DRBG is moved out into a helper function. In addition, a block of memory is allocated during initialization time that will be used as a scratchpad for obtaining entropy. That scratchpad is used for the initial seeding operation as well as by the asynchronous seeding call. The memory must be zeroized every time the DRBG seeding call succeeds to avoid entropy data lingering in memory.

* crypto: drbg - Do not seed RNG in drbg_kcapi_initHerbert Xu2015-04-211-48/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Initialising the RNG in drbg_kcapi_init is a waste of precious entropy because all users will immediately seed the RNG after the allocation. In fact, all users should seed the RNG before using it. So there is no point in doing the seeding in drbg_kcapi_init. This patch removes the initial seeding and the user must seed the RNG explicitly (as they all currently do). This patch also changes drbg_kcapi_reset to allow reseeding. That is, if you call it after a successful initial seeding, then it will not reset the internal state of the DRBG before mixing the new input and entropy. If you still wish to reset the internal state, you can always free the DRBG and allocate a new one. Finally this patch removes locking from drbg_uninstantiate because it's now only called from the destruction path which must not be executed in parallel with normal operations.

* crypto: drbg - replace spinlock with mutexStephan Mueller2015-04-211-119/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The creation of a shadow copy is intended to only hold a short term lock. But the drawback is that parallel users have a very similar DRBG state which only differs by a high-resolution time stamp. The DRBG will now hold a long term lock. Therefore, the lock is changed to a mutex which implies that the DRBG can only be used in process context. The lock now guards the instantiation as well as the entire DRBG generation operation. Therefore, multiple callers are fully serialized when generating a random number. As the locking is changed to use a long-term lock to avoid such similar DRBG states, the entire creation and maintenance of a shadow copy can be removed.

Note, that entire code is only executed with fips_enabled (i.e. when the kernel is booted with fips=1. It is therefore not executed for 99.9% of all user base. As mathematically such failure cannot occur, this panic should never be triggered. But to comply with NISTs current requirements, an endless loop must be replaced with the panic. When the new version of FIPS 140 will be released, this entire continuous self test function will be ripped out as it will not be needed any more.

* | crypto: drbg - replace int2byte with cpu_to_beStephan Mueller2014-08-251-16/+18
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The DRBG requires the conversion of an integer into a string representation of that integer. The previous implementation converted the given integer byte-wise. However, the kernel offers the cpu_to_be function which already re-arranges the memory representation of an integer such that it applies when interpreting the same memory as character string. The change therefore uses an integer-cast / union of the target character array together with the cpu_to_be function to convert an integer into its string representation. Tests show that the Hash and CTR DRBG implementations (the HMAC DRBG does not require such conversion) is about 10% faster (or requires less computing power, respectively).
