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 mpz_t m, size_t hlen, size_t label_length, const uint8_t *label, size_t *length, uint8_t *message); The parameter hlen is the output length of the SHA function used for masking data: - SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE - SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE - SHA384_DIGEST_SIZE - SHA512_DIGEST_SIZE Is it possible to get feedback for this MR and eventually push it to the master branch? Thanks in advance /Nicolas

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#sect… 1: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/cfrg/qLTveWOdTJcLn4HP3ev-vrj05Vg/ With OCB being no longer patent-encumbered, it seems preferable over the two-pass EAX construction. Therefore, it seems plausible that the WG makes OCB mandatory to implement. To support that in Sequoia, we'd need support for that in Nettle (Nettle is our main cryptographic backend). Unfortunately, we don't have the expertise in our team to contribute a patch, and we currently aren't in a position to offer funding for the implementation. Thanks, Justus

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 with what's already done in ecc_point_set(). So I was thinking about moving this functionality into Hogweed as a function along the lines of ecc_point_set_compressed(), which would take, instead of a y-coordinate, an int containing the sign/parity of the y-coordinate. So my question for the list and for the maintainers is, is this a reasonable API to add to Hogweed? Is there interest in including it in Hogweed if I were to take the time to turn it into a tidy patch?
