Typedef Documentation

mbedtls_rsa_context

typedef struct mbedtls_rsa_context mbedtls_rsa_context

The RSA context structure.

Note

Direct manipulation of the members of this structure is deprecated. All manipulation should instead be done through the public interface functions.

Function Documentation

mbedtls_rsa_check_privkey()

int mbedtls_rsa_check_privkey

(

const mbedtls_rsa_context *

ctx

)

This function checks if a context contains an RSA private key and perform basic consistency checks.

Note

The consistency checks performed by this function not only ensure that mbedtls_rsa_private() can be called successfully on the given context, but that the various parameters are mutually consistent with high probability, in the sense that mbedtls_rsa_public() and mbedtls_rsa_private() are inverses.

Warning

This function should catch accidental misconfigurations like swapping of parameters, but it cannot establish full trust in neither the quality nor the consistency of the key material that was used to setup the given RSA context:

• Consistency: Imported parameters that are irrelevant for the implementation might be silently dropped. If dropped, the current function does not have access to them, and therefore cannot check them. See mbedtls_rsa_complete(). If you want to check the consistency of the entire content of an PKCS1-encoded RSA private key, for example, you should use mbedtls_rsa_validate_params() before setting up the RSA context. Additionally, if the implementation performs empirical checks, these checks substantiate but do not guarantee consistency.
• Quality: This function is not expected to perform extended quality assessments like checking that the prime factors are safe. Additionally, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure the trustworthiness of the source of his RSA parameters, which goes beyond what is effectively checkable by the library.

Parameters

ctx	The initialized RSA context to check.

Returns

0 on success.

An MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_XXX error code on failure.

mbedtls_rsa_check_pub_priv()

int mbedtls_rsa_check_pub_priv	(	const mbedtls_rsa_context *	pub,
		const mbedtls_rsa_context *	prv
	)

This function checks a public-private RSA key pair.

            It checks each of the contexts, and makes sure they match.

Parameters

pub	The initialized RSA context holding the public key.
prv	The initialized RSA context holding the private key.

Returns

0 on success.

An MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_XXX error code on failure.

mbedtls_rsa_check_pubkey()

int mbedtls_rsa_check_pubkey

(

const mbedtls_rsa_context *

ctx

)

This function checks if a context contains at least an RSA public key.

If the function runs successfully, it is guaranteed that enough information is present to perform an RSA public key operation using mbedtls_rsa_public().

Parameters

ctx	The initialized RSA context to check.

Returns

0 on success.

An MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_XXX error code on failure.

mbedtls_rsa_complete()

int mbedtls_rsa_complete

(

mbedtls_rsa_context *

ctx

)

This function completes an RSA context from a set of imported core parameters.

To setup an RSA public key, precisely N and E must have been imported.

To setup an RSA private key, sufficient information must be present for the other parameters to be derivable.

The default implementation supports the following:

• Derive P, Q from N, D, E.
• Derive N, D from P, Q, E.

Alternative implementations need not support these.

If this function runs successfully, it guarantees that the RSA context can be used for RSA operations without the risk of failure or crash.

Warning

This function need not perform consistency checks for the imported parameters. In particular, parameters that are not needed by the implementation might be silently discarded and left unchecked. To check the consistency of the key material, see mbedtls_rsa_check_privkey().

Parameters

ctx	The initialized RSA context holding imported parameters.

Returns

0 on success.

MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_BAD_INPUT_DATA if the attempted derivations failed.

mbedtls_rsa_copy()

int mbedtls_rsa_copy	(	mbedtls_rsa_context *	dst,
		const mbedtls_rsa_context *	src
	)

This function copies the components of an RSA context.

Parameters

dst	The destination context. This must be initialized.
src	The source context. This must be initialized.

Returns

0 on success.

MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_ALLOC_FAILED on memory allocation failure.

mbedtls_rsa_export()

int mbedtls_rsa_export	(	const mbedtls_rsa_context *	ctx,
		mbedtls_mpi *	N,
		mbedtls_mpi *	P,
		mbedtls_mpi *	Q,
		mbedtls_mpi *	D,
		mbedtls_mpi *	E
	)

This function exports the core parameters of an RSA key.

            If this function runs successfully, the non-NULL buffers
            pointed to by \p N, \p P, \p Q, \p D, and \p E are fully
            written, with additional unused space filled leading by
            zero Bytes.

            Possible reasons for returning
            #MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED:<ul>
            <li>An alternative RSA implementation is in use, which
            stores the key externally, and either cannot or should
            not export it into RAM.</li>
            <li>A SW or HW implementation might not support a certain
            deduction. For example, \p P, \p Q from \p N, \p D,
            and \p E if the former are not part of the
            implementation.</li></ul>

            If the function fails due to an unsupported operation,
            the RSA context stays intact and remains usable.

Parameters

ctx	The initialized RSA context.
N	The MPI to hold the RSA modulus. This may be NULL if this field need not be exported.
P	The MPI to hold the first prime factor of N. This may be NULL if this field need not be exported.
Q	The MPI to hold the second prime factor of N. This may be NULL if this field need not be exported.
D	The MPI to hold the private exponent. This may be NULL if this field need not be exported.
E	The MPI to hold the public exponent. This may be NULL if this field need not be exported.

Returns

0 on success.

MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED if exporting the requested parameters cannot be done due to missing functionality or because of security policies.

A non-zero return code on any other failure.

mbedtls_rsa_export_crt()

int mbedtls_rsa_export_crt	(	const mbedtls_rsa_context *	ctx,
		mbedtls_mpi *	DP,
		mbedtls_mpi *	DQ,
		mbedtls_mpi *	QP
	)

This function exports CRT parameters of a private RSA key.

Note

Alternative RSA implementations not using CRT-parameters internally can implement this function based on mbedtls_rsa_deduce_opt().

Parameters

ctx	The initialized RSA context.
DP	The MPI to hold D modulo P-1, or NULL if it need not be exported.
DQ	The MPI to hold D modulo Q-1, or NULL if it need not be exported.
QP	The MPI to hold modular inverse of Q modulo P, or NULL if it need not be exported.

Returns

0 on success.

A non-zero error code on failure.

mbedtls_rsa_export_raw()

int mbedtls_rsa_export_raw	(	const mbedtls_rsa_context *	ctx,
		unsigned char *	N,
		size_t	N_len,
		unsigned char *	P,
		size_t	P_len,
		unsigned char *	Q,
		size_t	Q_len,
		unsigned char *	D,
		size_t	D_len,
		unsigned char *	E,
		size_t	E_len
	)

This function exports core parameters of an RSA key in raw big-endian binary format.

If this function runs successfully, the non-NULL buffers pointed to by N, P, Q, D, and E are fully written, with additional unused space filled leading by zero Bytes.

Possible reasons for returning MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED:

• An alternative RSA implementation is in use, which stores the key externally, and either cannot or should not export it into RAM.
• A SW or HW implementation might not support a certain deduction. For example, P, Q from N, D, and E if the former are not part of the implementation.

If the function fails due to an unsupported operation, the RSA context stays intact and remains usable.

Note

The length parameters are ignored if the corresponding buffer pointers are NULL.

Parameters

ctx	The initialized RSA context.
N	The Byte array to store the RSA modulus, or NULL if this field need not be exported.
N_len	The size of the buffer for the modulus.

(

mbedtls_rsa_context *

ctx

)

This function frees the components of an RSA key.

Parameters

		const mbedtls_mpi *	Q,
		const mbedtls_mpi *	D,
		const mbedtls_mpi *	E
	)

This function imports a set of core parameters into an RSA context.

Note

This function can be called multiple times for successive imports, if the parameters are not simultaneously present.

Any sequence of calls to this function should be followed by a call to mbedtls_rsa_complete(), which checks and completes the provided information to a ready-for-use public or private RSA key.

	)

This function imports core RSA parameters, in raw big-endian binary format, into an RSA context.

Note

This function can be called multiple times for successive imports, if the parameters are not simultaneously present.

Any sequence of calls to this function should be followed by a call to mbedtls_rsa_complete(), which checks and completes the provided information to a ready-for-use public or private RSA key.

Note

See mbedtls_rsa_complete() for more information on which parameters are necessary to set up a private or public RSA key.

The imported parameters are copied and need not be preserved for the lifetime of the RSA context being set up.

mbedtls_rsa_init()

void mbedtls_rsa_init	(	mbedtls_rsa_context *	ctx,
		int	padding,
		int	hash_id
	)

This function initializes an RSA context.

Note

Set padding to MBEDTLS_RSA_PKCS_V21 for the RSAES-OAEP encryption scheme and the RSASSA-PSS signature scheme.

The hash_id parameter is ignored when using MBEDTLS_RSA_PKCS_V15 padding.

The choice of padding mode is strictly enforced for private key operations, since there might be security concerns in mixing padding modes. For public key operations it is a default value, which can be overriden by calling specific rsa_rsaes_xxx or rsa_rsassa_xxx functions.

The hash selected in hash_id is always used for OEAP encryption. For PSS signatures, it is always used for making signatures, but can be overriden for verifying them. If set to MBEDTLS_MD_NONE, it is always overriden.

		void *	p_rng,
		int	mode,
		size_t *	olen,
		const unsigned char *	input,
		unsigned char *	output,
		size_t	output_max_len
	)

This function performs an RSA operation, then removes the message padding.

It is the generic wrapper for performing a PKCS#1 decryption operation using the mode from the context.

Note

The output buffer length output_max_len should be as large as the size ctx->len of ctx->N (for example, 128 Bytes if RSA-1024 is used) to be able to hold an arbitrary decrypted message. If it is not large enough to hold the decryption of the particular ciphertext provided, the function returns MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE.

Deprecated:

It is deprecated and discouraged to call this function in MBEDTLS_RSA_PUBLIC mode. Future versions of the library are likely to remove the mode argument and have it implicitly set to MBEDTLS_RSA_PRIVATE.

Note

Alternative implementations of RSA need not support mode being set to MBEDTLS_RSA_PUBLIC and might instead return MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED.

Parameters

ctx	The initialized RSA context to use.
f_rng	The RNG function. If mode is MBEDTLS_RSA_PRIVATE, this is used for blinding and should be provided; see mbedtls_rsa_private() for more. If mode is MBEDTLS_RSA_PUBLIC, it is ignored.

	)

This function performs a PKCS#1 v2.1 PSS signature operation (RSASSA-PSS-SIGN).

Note

The hash_id in the RSA context is the one used for the encoding. md_alg in the function call is the type of hash that is encoded. According to RFC-3447: Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #1 v2.1: RSA Cryptography Specifications it is advised to keep both hashes the same.

This function always uses the maximum possible salt size, up to the length of the payload hash. This choice of salt size complies with FIPS 186-4 §5.5 (e) and RFC 8017 (PKCS#1 v2.2) §9.1.1 step 3. Furthermore this function enforces a minimum salt size which is the hash size minus 2 bytes. If this minimum size is too large given the key size (the salt size, plus the hash size, plus 2 bytes must be no more than the key size in bytes), this function returns MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_BAD_INPUT_DATA.

Deprecated:

hash	The buffer holding the message digest or raw data. If md_alg is MBEDTLS_MD_NONE, this must be a readable buffer of length hashlen Bytes. If md_alg is not MBEDTLS_MD_NONE, it must be a readable buffer of length the size of the hash corresponding to md_alg.
sig	The buffer holding the signature. This must be a readable buffer of length ctx->len Bytes. For example, 256 Bytes for an 2048-bit RSA modulus.

Returns

0 if the verify operation was successful.

An MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_XXX error code on failure.

mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_verify_ext()

int mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_verify_ext	(	mbedtls_rsa_context *	ctx,
		int(*)(void *, unsigned char *, size_t)	f_rng,
		void *	p_rng,
		int	mode,
		mbedtls_md_type_t	md_alg,
		unsigned int	hashlen,
		const unsigned char *	hash,
		mbedtls_md_type_t	mgf1_hash_id,
		int	expected_salt_len,
		const unsigned char *	sig
	)

This function performs a PKCS#1 v2.1 PSS verification operation (RSASSA-PSS-VERIFY).

The hash function for the MGF mask generating function is that specified in mgf1_hash_id.

Note

The sig buffer must be as large as the size of ctx->N. For example, 128 Bytes if RSA-1024 is used.

The hash_id in the RSA context is ignored.

Parameters

ctx	The initialized RSA public key context to use.
f_rng	The RNG function to use. If mode is MBEDTLS_RSA_PRIVATE, this is used for blinding and should be provided; see mbedtls_rsa_private() for more. Otherwise, it is ignored.
p_rng	The RNG context to be passed to f_rng. This may be NULL if f_rng is NULL or doesn't need a context.
mode	The mode of operation. This must be either MBEDTLS_RSA_PUBLIC or MBEDTLS_RSA_PRIVATE.
md_alg	The message-digest algorithm used to hash the original data. Use MBEDTLS_MD_NONE for signing raw data.
hashlen	The length of the message digest. This is only used if md_alg is MBEDTLS_MD_NONE.
hash	The buffer holding the message digest or raw data. If md_alg is MBEDTLS_MD_NONE, this must be a readable buffer of length hashlen Bytes. If md_alg is not MBEDTLS_MD_NONE, it must be a readable buffer of length the size of the hash corresponding to md_alg.
mgf1_hash_id	The message digest used for mask generation.
expected_salt_len	The length of the salt used in padding. Use MBEDTLS_RSA_SALT_LEN_ANY to accept any salt length.
sig	The buffer holding the signature. This must be a readable buffer of length ctx->len Bytes. For example, 256 Bytes for an 2048-bit RSA modulus.

Returns

0 if the verify operation was successful.

An MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_XXX error code on failure.

mbedtls_rsa_self_test()

int mbedtls_rsa_self_test

(

int

verbose

)

The RSA checkup routine.

Returns

0 on success.

1 on failure.

mbedtls_rsa_set_padding()

void mbedtls_rsa_set_padding	(	mbedtls_rsa_context *	ctx,
		int	padding,
		int	hash_id
	)

This function sets padding for an already initialized RSA context. See mbedtls_rsa_init() for details.

Parameters

ctx	The initialized RSA context to be configured.
padding	The padding mode to use. This must be either MBEDTLS_RSA_PKCS_V15 or MBEDTLS_RSA_PKCS_V21.
hash_id	The MBEDTLS_RSA_PKCS_V21 hash identifier.
