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

[PATCH 0/7] Introduce SM4 symmetric cipher algorithm
by Tianjia Zhang 21 Feb '22

21 Feb '22

SM4 is a block cipher standard published by the government of the People's Republic of China, and it was issued by the State Cryptography Administration on March 21, 2012. The standard is GM/T 0002-2012 "SM4 block cipher algorithm". SM4 algorithm is a symmetric cipher algorithm in ShangMi cryptosystems. The block length and key length are both 128 bits. Both the encryption algorithm and the key derivation algorithm use 32 rounds of non-linear iterative structure, and the S box is a fixed 8 bits. The RFC 8998 specification defines the usage of ShangMi algorithm suite in TLS 1.3, etc. According to the State Cryptography Administration of China, its security and efficiency are equivalent to AES-128. Reference specification: 1. http://www.gmbz.org.cn/upload/2018-04-04/1522788048733065051.pdf 2. http://gmbz.org.cn/main/viewfile/20180108015408199368.html 3. https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ribose-cfrg-sm4-10.html 4. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8998 Tianjia Zhang (7): doc: Add Copyright of SM3 hash algorithm Introduce SM4 symmetric cipher algorithm testsuite: add test for SM4 symmetric algorithm nettle-benchmark: bench SM4 symmetric algorithm doc: documentation for SM4 cipher algorithm gcm: Add SM4 as the GCM underlying cipher doc: documentation for GCM using SM4 cipher Makefile.in | 2 + examples/nettle-benchmark.c | 2 + gcm-sm4-meta.c | 60 ++++++++++ gcm-sm4.c | 81 +++++++++++++ gcm.h | 25 +++- nettle-meta-aeads.c | 1 + nettle-meta-ciphers.c | 1 + nettle-meta.h | 3 + nettle.texinfo | 81 +++++++++++++ sm4-meta.c | 49 ++++++++ sm4.c | 225 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ sm4.h | 71 +++++++++++ testsuite/.gitignore | 1 + testsuite/Makefile.in | 2 +- testsuite/gcm-test.c | 18 +++ testsuite/meta-aead-test.c | 1 + testsuite/meta-cipher-test.c | 3 +- testsuite/sm4-test.c | 19 +++ 18 files changed, 642 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 gcm-sm4-meta.c create mode 100644 gcm-sm4.c create mode 100644 sm4-meta.c create mode 100644 sm4.c create mode 100644 sm4.h create mode 100644 testsuite/sm4-test.c -- 2.32.0

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

Status update
by nisse＠lysator.liu.se 17 Dec '21

17 Dec '21

Hi, just a heads up that I'll likely not be very responsive next few weeks. I may or may not get some hacking time during Christmas holidays. What I'd like to do when I get time: Review recent patches for powerpc ecc and sm4. Complete support for ANSI x9.62 (I'm not really up-to-date on the details, but needed square root code is already in, and there's code to do the rest was posted by Wim Lewis long ago). Prepare a new release. Maybe write salsa20 and chacha assembly for more platforms. But not necessarily in that order. Feel free to reply with suggested priorities, and remind me if there's something important that I've missed. Regards, /Niels -- Niels Möller. PGP key CB4962D070D77D7FCB8BA36271D8F1FF368C6677.
