| | | | | | | | | | | | | precompute only as needed, or will want to access some other expensive resource or etc. Change how the secret for generating blinding is done in cases where a PRNG isn't available. Use the operations public op to hide the secret, for instance the seed for a DH blinding variable is 2^x mod p. Make use of being able to mutate internal structures in the RW signer, since that does have access to a PRNG, so use it to initialize the blinder on first call to sign().

* This checkin represents a pretty major change in how PK operations arelloyd2010-03-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | performed. Up until now, each key object (eg DSA_PublicKey or ECDH_PrivateKey) had two jobs: contain the key material, and know how to perform any operations on that key. However because of a desire to support alternative implementations (GNU MP, hardware, whatever), there was a notion of operations, with the key objects containing an op that they got via engine rather than actually implementing the underlying algorithms directly. Now, represent the operation as an abstract interface (typically mapping a byte string to a byte string), and pass a plain Public_Key& or Private_Key& to the engine. The engine does any checks it wants (eg based on name, typeid, key sizes, etc), and either returns nothing (I'll pass) or a pointer to a new operation that represents signatures or encryption or what-have-you using that key. This means that plain key objects no longer contain operations. This is a major break with the traditional interface. On the other hand, using these 'bare' operations without padding, KDFs, etc is 99% of the time a bad idea anyway (and if you really need them, there are options so you get the bare op but via the pubkey.h interfaces). Currently this change is only implemented for DH and ECDH (ie, key agreement algorithms). Additionally the optional engines (gnump and openssl) have not been updated. I'll probably wait to touch those until after I can change them all in one go for all algos.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | finalized. Move header to passhash9.h and rename the functions to be passhash9 specific ({generator,check}_passhash9) Add an algorithm identifer field. Currently only id 0 is defined, for HMAC(SHA-1), but this opens up for using HMAC(SHA-512) or HMAC(SHA-3) or CMAC(Blowfish) or whatever in the future if necessary. Increase the salt size to 96 bits and the PRF output size to 192 bits. Document in api.tex
* | MD4's M buffer was set to be 48 words instead of 16. This had beenlloyd2010-02-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | extant for a long long time and was never caught because until recently the code did not depend on M.size(). However with the recent loadstore changes that use memcpy to load the entire array in one shot, an extra 128 bytes of memory would be read (but not used) in each iteration. This probably did not cause any problems except for Valgrind warnings, though in some situations it would be possible for the M buffer and MDx_HashFunctions buffer to be close enough that memcpy would be called with overlapping regions, which could cause arbitrarily weird failures since memcpy is allowed to assume they do not overlap.
* | Prefix passhash with "$9$" in a manner similar with otherlloyd2010-02-021-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | password hashing schemes. Increase salt size to 80 bits. Research shows that virtually no other PBKDF2 implementations support anything but SHA-1; for ease of implementation elsehwere switch back from SHA-512 to SHA-1. Should be mostly harmless; it limits total entropy of the password to a maximum of 160 bits, but this is unlikely anyway. Use two bytes to specify the work factor for future-proofing. Add a test.
* | Password hashing is a pretty useful service, really. Move the guts oflloyd2010-02-012-58/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the passhash example to the library. Support variable work factors; default work factor of 10 takes about half a second to do one password on my Core2. Switch to using SHA-512 instead of SHA-1 in PBKDF2. To keep the output evenly sized for base64 purposes, reduce PBKDF2 output size by one byte (to 112 bits).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and iteration count, force it to be passed to each call to derive_key. So remove current_salt, set_iterations, new_random_salt, and change_salt functions from S2K interface. Update examples and test application to match. While I was in there, change the passhash example to use 64 bit salts and 128 bit PBKDF2 outputs.
* | Prevent a crash in GMP_Engine if the library is shutdown and thenlloyd2010-01-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | reinitialized. It would cache an Allocator pointer on first use, and then never zero it, so after the reinit the pointer would be going to a now deallocated Allocator object. Encountered in the SoftHSM test suite, reported by Ondrej Sury. Use a simple reference counting scheme to zero the pointer, and reset the GNU MP memory functions. This also fixes a quite obscure and never reported bug, that if the GMP engine was used, and if the library was deinitialized but then the program tried to use GNU MP, the allocator functions would crash. Now after deinit the allocator funcs revert to the defaults. The reference count is not updated atomically so this is not thread safe, but seems a non-issue; the only time this could happen (especially now that the GMP engine header is internal-only) is if multiple threads were attempting to initialize / shutdown the library at once - which won't work anyway for a variety of reasons, including contention on the (unlocked) global_lib_state pointer. If at some point thread safety is useful here, the refcnt can be locked by a mutex, or kept in an atomic<unsigned int>.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | bswap.h); too many external apps rely on loadstor.h existing. Define 64-bit generic bswap in terms of 32-bit bswap, since it's not much slower if 32-bit is also generic, and much faster if it's not. This may be quite helpful on 32-bit x86 in particular. Change formulation of generic 32-bit bswap. It may be faster or slower depending on the CPU, especially the latency and throuput of rotate instructions, but should be faster on an ideally superscalar processor with rotate instructions (ie, what I expect future CPUs to look more like).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes for the amalgamation generator for internal headers. Remove BOTAN_DLL exporting macros from all internal-only headers; the classes/functions there don't need to be exported, and avoiding the PIC/GOT indirection can be a big win. Add missing BOTAN_DLLs where necessary, mostly gfpmath and cvc For GCC, use -fvisibility=hidden and set BOTAN_DLL to the visibility __attribute__ to export those classes/functions.

Convert the other (monotonic/fixed epoch) timers to a single function get_nanoseconds_clock(), living in time.h, which statically chooses the 'best' timer type (clock_gettime, gettimeofday, std::clock, in that order depending on what is available). Add feature test macros for clock_gettime and gettimeofday. Remove the Timer class and timer.h. Remove the Timer& argument to the algorithm benchmark function.
