Add RSA-OAEP encryption/decryption to Nettle
by Nicolas Mora 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

Hello, I've made a new Merge Request in the nettle gitlab repo to provide RSA-OAEP encryption and decryption: https://git.lysator.liu.se/nettle/nettle/-/merge_requests/20 It adds 2 new functions: int pkcs1_oaep_encrypt (size_t key_size, void *random_ctx, nettle_random_func *random, size_t hlen, size_t label_length, const uint8_t *label, size_t message_length, const uint8_t *message, mpz_t m); int pkcs1_oaep_decrypt (size_t key_size, const … [View More]

Feature request: OCB mode
by Justus Winter 16 Feb '22

16 Feb '22

Hello, we (Sequoia PGP) would love to see OCB being implemented in Nettle. The OpenPGP working group is working on a revision of RFC4880, which will mostly be a cryptographic refresh, and will bring AEAD to OpenPGP. The previous -now abandoned- draft called for EAX being mandatory, and OCB being optional [0]. This was motivated by OCB being encumbered by patents. However, said patents were waived by the holder [1]. 0: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-openpgp-rfc4880bis-10#… [View More]

[PATCH 0/7] Add powerpc64 assembly for elliptic curves
by Amitay Isaacs 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

Hi, This series of patches add the powerpc64 assembly for modp/redc functions for elliptic curves P192, P224, P256, P384, P521, X25519 and X448. It results in 15-30% performance improvements as measured on POWER9 system using hogweed-benchmark. master ------ name size sign/ms verify/ms ecdsa 192 13.5465 3.8313 ecdsa 224 8.4079 2.5289 ecdsa 256 8.5772 2.4691 ecdsa 384 3.4361 0.9765 ecdsa 521 2.… [View More]

In musl libc FAQ, they stated that there is no __MUSL__ in the preprocessor macros https://wiki.musl-libc.org/faq.html regards, Mamone [View Less]

Curve point decompression
by Wim Lewis 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

I'm looking at implementing elliptic curve point compression a la SEC1 (admittedly, mostly to reduce the number of "feature not supported" code paths in a library, but it seems like a somewhat useful ability). Nettle/Hogweed already implements it internally for curve25519, but I want to implement it for the "secp" curves as well. Point compression is easy enough, but point decompression requires some curve math, potentially dependent on the specific curve, and some of it is redundant … [View More]
