Implement XTS block cipher mode
by Simo Sorce 25 Mar '19

25 Mar '19

Hello, The attached patch implements the XTS block cipher mode, as specified in IEEE P1619. The interface is split into a generic pair of functions for encryption and decryption and additional AES-128/AES-256 variants. The function signatures follows the same pattern used by other block- cipher modes like ctr, cfb, ccm, etc... Basic tests using a small selection of NIST CAVS vectors are provided. XTS is use in several disk encryption algorithms and programs because it allows to use a block cipher even when the input length is not a perfect multiple of the block cipher length by using ciphertext stealing. Thanks to Daiki Ueno for initial review. Feedback is appreciated. Simo. -- Simo Sorce Sr. Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc

[WIP] aes arm asm from libgcrypt
by Yuriy M. Kaminskiy 24 Mar '19

24 Mar '19

On raspberry pi 3b+ (cortex-a53 @ 1.4GHz): Before: aes128 | nanosecs/byte mebibytes/sec cycles/byte ECB enc | 39.58 ns/B 24.10 MiB/s - c/B ECB dec | 39.57 ns/B 24.10 MiB/s - c/B After: ECB enc | 15.24 ns/B 62.57 MiB/s - c/B ECB dec | 15.68 ns/B 60.80 MiB/s - c/B Passes nettle regression test (only little-endian though) Does not use pre-rotated tables (as in AES_SMALL), so reduces d-cache footprint from 4.25K to 1K (enc)/1.25K (dec); completely unrolled, so increases i-cache footprint from 948b to 4416b (enc)/4032b (dec) As it completely replaces current implementation, I just attached new files (will post final version as a patch). P.S. Yes, I tried convert macros to m4: complete failure (no named parameters, problems with more than 9 arguments, weird expansion rules); so I fallen back to good ol' gas. Sorry. P.P.S. with this change, gcm/neon and (to-be-publushed) chacha_blocks/neon, gnutls-cli --benchmark-ciphers: Before: Checking cipher-MAC combinations, payload size: 16384 AES-128-GCM 13.56 MB/sec CHACHA20-POLY1305 68.26 MB/sec AES-128-CBC-SHA1 16.72 MB/sec AES-128-CBC-SHA256 15.07 MB/sec After: AES-128-GCM 35.32 MB/sec CHACHA20-POLY1305 94.94 MB/sec AES-128-CBC-SHA1 27.53 MB/sec AES-128-CBC-SHA256 23.30 MB/sec

[WIP][RFC][PATCH 1-3/x] chacha: add asm optimizations from Andrew Moon
by Yuriy M. Kaminskiy 17 Mar '19

17 Mar '19

Taken from https://github.com/floodyberry/chacha-opt (released by author as public-domain-or-MIT, so I guess ok to borrow). On x86/sse2 and x86_64: 80 to 100% faster. Passes regression test on linux/debian/stretch x86 and x86_64, benchmarks ran with patched nettle-3.4.1 (due to abi break in 3.5). *Not* tested on win{32,64} (important: win64 ABI difference). chacha-opt also contains x86{,_64}-{ssse3,avx{,2},xop} optimized code, but I don't have hardware to test (and there are difference in structure/argument layout that need to be corrected and tested). WIP, will add armv6 and arm/neon a bit later. P.S. Then I will probably take a look at poly1305 and likely try to borrow license-compatible arm asm somewhere (current nettle code is painfully slow); gcrypt is somewhat faster than nettle and LGPLv2.1+; cryptograms has definitely fastest crypto, but it is BSD-3-clause-or-GPLv2+; while it is, AFAIK, compatible with LGPL, but not sure if that's acceptable for nettle inclusion. P.S. previously posted arm neon gcm patch breaks x86_64 compilation, will post trivial fix later.

Currently ghash/gcm performance on arm in both gcrypt and nettle is a bit abysmal: === bench-slopes-nettle === GCM auth | 28.43 ns/B 33.54 MiB/s 39.81 c/B 1400.2 === bench-slopes-gcrypt === GCM auth | 21.86 ns/B 43.62 MiB/s 30.52 c/B 1396.0 === bench-slopes-openssl [1.1.1a] === GCM auth | 5.99 ns/B 159.3 MiB/s 8.38 c/B 1399.6 === cut === Current openssl/cryptograms code is based on ideas from https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01506572 (licensed CC BY 4.0) and there are linked implementation https://conradoplg.cryptoland.net/software/ecc-and-ae-for-arm-neon/ (licensed LGPL 2.1+), which I guess should be acceptable to borrow. Very preliminary patch for nettle will be posted as reply (passes nettle regression test, but needs more extensive testing); === bench-slopes-nettle [w/ patched nettle 3.3] === aes128 | nanosecs/byte mebibytes/sec cycles/byte GCM auth | 7.07 ns/B 134.9 MiB/s 9.90 c/B === cut === (And not only it is notably faster, it should be completely free of all cache/timing leaks).

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to build Nettle 3.4.1 on Fedora 29, x64 (fully patched). Self tests are failing at: PASS: rsa-sec-decrypt sec_powm.c:293: GNU MP assertion failed: enb >= windowsize ../run-tests: line 57: 22997 Aborted (core dumped) "$1" $testflags FAIL: rsa-compute-root PASS: dsa PASS: dsa-keygen GMP is 6.1.2, which is the latest version. Could someone please advise. Thanks.

Nettle-3.4.1rc1, addressing PKCS#1 side-channel leaks
by nisse＠lysator.liu.se 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

A release candidate for nettle-3.4.1 is now available, as https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/nettle-3.4.1rc1.tar.gz https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/nettle-3.4.1rc1.tar.gz.sig Corresponding changes are also pushed to the branch https://git.lysator.liu.se/nettle/nettle/tree/release-3.4-fixes Release timing is prompted by the publication of http://cat.eyalro.net/. Nettle and GnuTLS authors (as well as developers of other TLS implementations) were notified by the research team a few months ago. Related CVE ids: CVE-2018-16868 gnutls: Bleichenbacher-like side channel leakage in PKCS#1 1.5 verification and padding oracle verification CVE-2018-16869 nettle: Leaky data conversion exposing a manager oracle For Nettle, the RSA code, which I wrote some 15 years ago, have seen an overhawl. Not only making the handling of PKCS#1 on decryption side-channel silent (the vulnerabilities that could be exploited by the methods of the above paper), but also ensuring that we use side-channel silent functions for the needed bignum arithmetic. This has been a lot of work, and most of it not done by me, but by Simo Sorce, at Red Hat Inc. Without this help, it would have been difficult to get a good release out on time. Testing of the release candidate is highly appreciated. I intend to make and announce the non-candidate release soon, possibly as early as tomorrow morning (i.e., December 1, in European timezone). A GnuTLS release, depending on the new rsa_sec_decrypt function in Nettle-3.4.1, is also being made about now. My understanding is that there's no need to panic. The attack directly affects RSA decryption, not signatures. And it requires some resources to be pulled off. As far as I understand, a successful attack lets the attacker decrypt or sign a targeted message, e.g., compromising the TLS "premaster secret", corresponding session keys, and any transmitted passwords or login cookies sent in a single TLS session, but it does not expose the private key itself. However, if you operate a TLS server, you should consider if you can completely disable key exchange based on RSA decryption. If you need to keep it for backwards compatibility, it is *strongly* encouraged to use a separate RSA key for this purpose, *not* reused or authorized for any other purpose. Regards, /Niels NEWS for the Nettle 3.4.1 release This release fixes a few bugs, and makes the RSA private key operations side channel silent. The RSA improvements are contributed by Simo Sorce and Red Hat, and include one new public function, rsa_sec_decrypt, see below. All functions using RSA private keys are now side-channel silent, meaning that they try hard to avoid any branches or memory accesses depending on secret data. This applies both to the bignum calculations, which now use GMP's mpn_sec_* family of functions, and the processing of PKCS#1 padding needed for RSA decryption. Nettle's ECC functions were already side-channel silent, while the DSA functions still aren't. There's also one caveat regarding the improved RSA functions: due to small table lookups in relevant mpn_sec_* functions in GMP-6.1.2, the lowest and highest few bits of the secret factors p and q may still leak. I'm not aware of any attacks on RSA where knowing a few bits of the factors makes a significant difference. This leak will likely be plugged in later GMP versions. Changes in behavior: * The functions rsa_decrypt and rsa_decrypt_tr may now clobber all of the provided message buffer, independent of the actual message length. They are side-channel silent, in that branches and memory accesses don't depend on the validity or length of the message. Side-channel leakage from the caller's use of length and return value may still provide an oracle useable for a Bleichenbacher-style chosen ciphertext attack. Which is why the new function rsa_sec_decrypt is recommended. New features: * A new function rsa_sec_decrypt. It differs from rsa_decrypt_tr in that the length of the decrypted message is given a priori, and PKCS#1 padding indicating a different length is treated as an error. For applications that may be subject to chosen ciphertext attacks, it is recommended to initialize the message area with random data, call this function, and ignore the return value. This applies in particular to RSA-based key exchange in the TLS protocol. Bug fixes: * Fix bug in pkcs1-conv, missing break statements in the parsing of PEM input files. * Fix link error on the pss-mgf1-test test, affecting builds without public key support. Performance regression: * All RSA private key operations employing RSA blinding, i.e., rsa_decrypt_tr, rsa_*_sign_tr, the new rsa_sec_decrypt, and rsa_compute_root_tr, are significantly slower. This is because (i) RSA blinding now use side-channel silent operations, (ii) blinding includes a modular inversion, and (iii) side-channel silent modular inversion, implemented as mpn_sec_invert, is very expensive. A 60% slowdown for 2048-bit RSA keys have been measured. Miscellaneous: * Building the public key support of nettle now requires GMP version 6.0 or later (unless --enable-mini-gmp is used). The shared library names are libnettle.so.6.5 and libhogweed.so.4.5, with sonames still libnettle.so.6 and libhogweed.so.4. It is intended to be fully binary compatible with nettle-3.1. -- Niels Möller. PGP-encrypted email is preferred. Keyid 368C6677. Internet email is subject to wholesale government surveillance.

ANNOUNCE: Nettle-3.4.1
by nisse＠lysator.liu.se 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

I'm happy to announce a new release of GNU Nettle, a low-level cryptographics library. The main change in this release is that RSA private key operations are now side-channel silent, thanks to contributions by Simo Sorce, at Red Hat Inc. The release also includes a few smaller bugfixes. The Nettle home page can be found at https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/, and the manual at https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/nettle.html. The release can be downloaded from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/nettle/nettle-3.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/nettle/nettle-3.4.tar.gz https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/nettle-3.4.1.tar.gz There are no code changes since the release candidate announced on the Nettle mailing list November 30. Release timing is prompted by the publication of http://cat.eyalro.net/. Nettle and GnuTLS authors (as well as developers of other TLS implementations) were notified by the research team a few months ago.

nettle-3.4.1
by nisse＠lysator.liu.se 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

It turns out there's a need for a bugfix-only release nettle-3.4.1, to be released in a few weeks. I've created a branch release-3.4-fixes, and backported a few bugfixes (see commit history or ChangeLog on that branch), https://git.lysator.liu.se/nettle/nettle/blob/release-3.4-fixes/ChangeLog I'm sorry I haven't been able to respond to the recently posted patches on this list. I'll get back to that after 3.4.1. If you think I've missed some important bugfixes, please speak up. Regards, /Niels -- Niels Möller. PGP-encrypted email is preferred. Keyid 368C6677.
