Function that initializes an ctr_drbg context.

Note

If the context is NULL the function uses an internal context.

pers_string – [in] Personalization string used for the CTR_DRBG_Instantiate_algorithm.
pers_string_len – [in] Length of the personalization string, which may be zero.

Returns

0 on success, otherwise a non-zero failure from mbedtls_ctrl_drbg_seed.

Before calling this api the context to must be initialized by calling nrf_cc3xx_platform_ctr_drbg_init

Note

The default configuration is to have prediction resistance turned off.

Parameters

context – [inout] Pointer to a structure holding the ctr_drbg context.
pr_enabled – [in] Enables prediction resistance if true, otherwise false (default).

Returns

0 on success, otherwise a non-zero failure.

ChaCha20 APIs¶

group nrf_oberon_chacha

Type declaration and APIs for the Chacha20 stream cipher algorithm.

ChaCha20 is a stream cipher developed by Daniel J. Bernstein based on the 20-round cipher Salsa20/20.

A 256-bit key is expanded into 2^64 randomly accessible streams, each containing 2^64 randomly accessible 64-byte (512-bit) blocks.

The changes from Salsa20/20 to ChaCha20 are designed to improve diffusion per round, conjecturally increasing resistance to cryptanalysis, while preserving - and often improving - time per round.

SRP - Secure Remote Password APIs ¶

group nrf_oberon_srp

Type declarations and APIs for the SRP key agreement protocol.

SRP is an augmented password-authenticated key agreement protocol, specifically designed to work around existing patents. SRP allows the use of user names and passwords over unencrypted channels and supplies a shared secret at the end of the authentication sequence that can be used to generate encryption keys.

An eavesdropper or man in the middle cannot obtain enough information to be able to brute force guess a password without further interactions with the parties for each guess.

The server does not store password-equivalent data. This means that an attacker who steals the server data cannot masquerade as the client unless they first perform a brute force search for the password.

The specific variant implemented here is SRP-6 3072 bit SHA-512.

Basic protocol overview

See: RFC 5054 - Using the Secure Remote Password (SRP) Protocol for TLS Authentication
See: The Stanford SRP Homepage

Setup

Server generates a username / password combination together with a salt.
Server derives a password verifier (see ocrypto_srp_verifier).
The username, salt and verifier are stored and required to open sessions. The original password is no longer needed.

Session opening

Client sends a username and the public key of an ephemeral key pair to the server.
Server sends the salt and the public key of another ephemeral key pair to the client (see ocrypto_srp_public_key).
Client and Server both compute the session key from this information (see ocrypto_srp_scrambling_parameter, ocrypto_srp_premaster_secret, ocrypto_srp_session_key).
Client sends proof of the session key to the server.
Server validates proof (see ocrypto_srp_proof_m1), then sends proof of the session key to the client (see ocrypto_srp_proof_m2).
Client validates proof. Both parties know that they share the same private session key.

SRP-6 Password verifier generation

A password verifier is generated from a user name and a password. The password pass may be discarded, as only the verifier is used during later computations.

The verifier is generated for a given user name user, a password pass and salt salt.

Parameters

v – [out] Generated password verifier, must be 32-bit aligned.
salt – Salt.
user – User name.
user_len – Length of user.
pass – Password.
pass_len – Length of pass.

SRP-6 Public key generation

An ephemeral keypair can be generated based on the password verifier to be used when opening a new session.

void ocrypto_srp_public_key(uint8_t pub_b[(384)], const uint8_t priv_b[(32)], const uint8_t v[(384)])¶

Parameters

pub_b – [out] Generated public key, must be 32-bit aligned.
priv_b – Private key.
v – Password verifier.

SRP-6 Session key generation

A premaster secret can be derived from both the client’s and server’s public keys, the server’s private key and the password verifier. A shared session key can be generated from this premaster secret.

void ocrypto_srp_scrambling_parameter(uint8_t u[(64)], const uint8_t pub_a[(384)], const uint8_t pub_b[(384)])¶

SRP-6 Scrambling Parameter.

Parameters

u – [out] Generated scrambling parameter.
pub_a – Client public key.
pub_b – Server public key.

int ocrypto_srp_premaster_secret(uint8_t s[(384)], const uint8_t pub_a[(384)], const uint8_t priv_b[(32)], const uint8_t u[(64)], const uint8_t v[(384)])¶

SRP-6 Premaster Secret.

The premaster secret between the client and the server is computed using the client public key pub_a, the server private key priv_b, the scrambling parameter u and the password verifier v. If the client public key pub_a is valid, the premaster secret is then put into s. The premaster secret can be used to generate encryption keys.

Parameters

s – [out] Generated premaster secret, must be 32-bit aligned.
pub_a – Client public key.
priv_b – Server private key.
u – Scrambling parameter; generated with srp_scrambling_parameter.

A second proof is generated by the server and sent back to the client to assert that the server is in possession of the shared session key k. The client also generates the proof. If the proofs match, both parties can assume that they share the same session key k. The second proof is based on the client public key pub_a, the first proof m1 and the session key k.
