Commit Message

Vitaly Chikunov Jan. 16, 2019, 4:47 p.m. UTC
To my opinion this new version may fit suggestions of Herbert and David - we only
have single general top level crypto_akcipher_verify() call, but two low level
 ->verify() and ->verify_rsa() calls. Final signature verification is moved from
each caller of crypto_akcipher_verify() into crypto_akcipher_verify() itself.

There is remained crypto_akcipher_verify_rsa() just for rsa specific (pkcs1)
code (it seems that we are isolating from calling directly ->verify_rsa()).

Does it looks good?

Original/new commit message:

Previous akcipher .verify() just `decrypts' (using RSA encrypt which is
using public key) signature to uncover message hash, which was then
compared in upper level public_key_verify_signature() with the expected
hash value, which itself was never passed into verify().

This approach was incompatible with EC-DSA family of algorithms,
because, to verify a signature EC-DSA algorithm also needs a hash value
as input; then it's used (together with a signature divided into halves
`r||s') to produce a witness value, which is then compared with `r' to
determine if the signature is correct. Thus, for EC-DSA, nor
requirements of .verify() itself, nor its output expectations in
public_key_verify_signature() wasn't satisfied.

Make improved .verify() call which gets hash value as parameter and
produce complete signature check (without any output besides status.

Other rsa-centric drivers have replaced verify() with verify_rsa() which
have old semantic. If akcipher have .verify_rsa() callback, it will be
used for a partial verification, which then is finished in
crypto_akcipher_verify().

Now for the top level verification only crypto_akcipher_verify() needs
to be called.

crypto_akcipher_verify_rsa() is introduced which directly calls
.verify_rsa() for use by PKCS1 driver to call its backend.

Umm...  What do I apply this patch to?

In your modified public_key_verify_signature():

> -	sg_init_one(&digest_sg, output, outlen);
> -	akcipher_request_set_crypt(req, &sig_sg, &digest_sg, sig->s_size,
> +	sg_init_one(&output_sg, output, outlen);
> +	akcipher_request_set_crypt(req, &sig_sg, &output_sg, sig->s_size,
>  				   outlen);

Why is the output necessary?  It was there for the decoded hash to be placed
in prior to comparison - but now that's not necessary.

> -	ret = crypto_wait_req(crypto_akcipher_verify(req), &cwait);
> +	ret = crypto_wait_req(crypto_akcipher_verify(req, sig->digest,
> +						     sig->digest_size), &cwait);

I see sig->digest is passed in here.  Should it be passed in in place of
output_sg above?

> -	inst->alg.verify = pkcs1pad_verify;
> +	inst->alg.verify_rsa = pkcs1pad_verify;

Is there a reason that pkcs1pad_verify() can't do the comparison?

> -	.verify = rsa_verify,
> +	.verify_rsa = rsa_verify,

Likewise verify_rsa()?

Granted, this might involve pkcs1pad_verify() dressing up the signature in the
appropriate wrappings and passing it along to verify_rsa() to do the actual
comparison there (ie. what pkcs1pad_verify_complete() does).

> -	.verify = caam_rsa_enc,
> +	.verify_rsa = caam_rsa_enc,

I presume this is the reason - because this reuses its encrypt operation
directly.  But could this instead perform the comparison upon completion, say
in rsa_pub_done()?

> -	.verify = qat_rsa_enc,
> +	.verify_rsa = qat_rsa_enc,

Again, this could do the comparison, say, in qat_rsa_cb().

This should go over "crypto: testmgr - split akcipher tests by a key type"
which I sent at 20190107 to linux-crypto. Sorry for the mess.

Agreed.

(I tried different approaches such as passing additional arguments to
`akcipher_request_set_crypt' or having additional setter like
`akcipher_request_set_aux' just to set value of digest and that should
be used just for verify op.)

I thought passing input parameter in `struct akcipher_request' in the
field called 'dst' could be confusing for users. So this should be an
additional parameter in the request which is never used by any other caller.
Also, it was unknown if this should be scatterlist or not (I choose that
it should not). When it's separate argument to crypto_akcipher_verify()
call user is forced to set it, and there is no cluttering of `struct
akcipher_request' (which is designed to handle just encryption/decryption)
with not needed auxiliary parameters, and because it's very separated
from request parameters which all scatterlists and all other calls
arguments usually are not scatterlists, so this looked like similar
approach to what others do.

If you agree that we have two callbacks for a full and a partial
verification (I assume you do), why should pkcs1pad_verify do a full
verification if it's allowed to do just partial one, and it's RSA
cipher which have special partial verification designed for them.

So I decided that pkcs1pad_verify should implement verify_rsa api only
and this is beneficial for having minimal code change and somewhat
backward compatible.

If we stay with the two api calls (verify and verify_rsa) pkcs1pad_verify
does not need to do any verification leaving it to the akcipher core.

There is only potential "problem" that pkcs1pad code will not be able to
use other akciphers besides rsa family (implementing only verify_rsa),
but I assumed this is not needed (since only RSA is actually using
PKCS1) and maybe even beneficial restriction.

Abandoning idea with two api calls (full verify and partial verify_rsa)
will require me to modify code for all these drivers for devices that I
don't have and can't test. So, I choose approach with less new code.

If you think that partial verify api should be completely removed that
change will require much bigger rework. Please tell if you would prefer
that.

I prepared the patch which factors `output' into public_key_verify_signature().

Also, I try to elucidate my arguments below.

In short, it's passed as parameter to not clutter `struct
akcipher_request' and to distinguish it from encrypt/decrypt scatterlists.

New 'verify' op requires very different parameter set than encrypt,
decrypt, sign. This difference is now most illustrative in testmgr (see
in the next patch).

a) RSA verify works differently (is it just disguised encrypt),
b) We have separate wrapper module for it (pkcs1pad). Thus:

Old API can not be removed. In other words, we can not replace
.verify_rsa with .verify in these drivers or PKCS1 will not work.

We can replace .verify_rsa with .verify in pkcs1pad, but there is no
need for that if we stay with two API calls, which we can't avoid.

No, or pkcs1pad will not work.

I think having two API calls during a transition period is fine.
But it must not be the long-term outcome.

In order to keep existing drivers working, I think we should make
the API wrap the legacy verify_rsa and implement verify directly
on top of it.  IOW the driver remains unchanged for now but the
crypto API code should provide a verify API that is implemented
on top of the driver's verify_rsa call.
