Function Documentation

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
ctxThe initialized RSA context to check.
Returns
0 on success.
An MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_XXX error code on failure.
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
pubThe initialized RSA context holding the public key.
prvThe initialized RSA context holding the private key.
Returns
0 on success.
An MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_XXX error code on failure.
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
ctxThe initialized RSA context to check.
Returns
0 on success.
An MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_XXX error code on failure.
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
ctxThe initialized RSA context holding imported parameters.
Returns
0 on success.
MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_BAD_INPUT_DATA if the attempted derivations failed.
int mbedtls_rsa_copy ( mbedtls_rsa_context *  dst,
const mbedtls_rsa_context *  src 
)

This function copies the components of an RSA context.

Parameters
dstThe destination context. This must be initialized.
srcThe source context. This must be initialized.
Returns
0 on success.
MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_ALLOC_FAILED on memory allocation failure.
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 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.

Parameters
ctxThe initialized RSA context.
NThe MPI to hold the RSA modulus. This may be NULL if this field need not be exported.
PThe MPI to hold the first prime factor of N. This may be NULL if this field need not be exported.
QThe MPI to hold the second prime factor of N. This may be NULL if this field need not be exported.
DThe MPI to hold the private exponent. This may be NULL if this field need not be exported.
EThe 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.
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
ctxThe initialized RSA context.
DPThe MPI to hold D modulo P-1, or NULL if it need not be exported.
DQThe MPI to hold D modulo Q-1, or NULL if it need not be exported.
QPThe 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.

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.

)

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

Note
The hash_id set in ctx by calling mbedtls_rsa_set_padding() selects the hash used for the encoding operation and for the mask generation function (MGF1). For more details on the encoding operation and the mask generation function, consult RFC-3447: Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #1 v2.1: RSA Cryptography Specifications.
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.
Parameters
ctxThe initialized RSA context to use.
f_rngThe RNG function. It is mandatory and must not be NULL.
p_rngThe RNG context to be passed to f_rng. This may be NULL if f_rng doesn't need a context argument.

For more details on the encoding operation and the mask generation function, consult RFC-3447: Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #1 v2.1: RSA Cryptography Specifications.
This function enforces that the provided salt length complies with FIPS 186-4 §5.5 (e) and RFC 8017 (PKCS#1 v2.2) §9.1.1 step 3. The constraint is that the hash length plus the salt length plus 2 bytes must be at most the key length. If this constraint is not met, this function returns MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_BAD_INPUT_DATA.

hashThe buffer holding the message digest or raw data. This must be a readable buffer of at least hashlen Bytes.
saltlenThe length of the salt that should be used. If passed MBEDTLS_RSA_SALT_LEN_ANY, the function will use the largest possible salt length up to the hash length, which is the largest permitted by some standards including FIPS 186-4 §5.5.
sigThe buffer to hold the signature. This must be a writable buffer of length ctx->len Bytes. For example, 256 Bytes for an 2048-bit RSA modulus. A buffer length of MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE is always safe.

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

This function sets padding for an already initialized 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 overridden by calling specific mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_xxx or mbedtls_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 overridden for verifying them. If set to MBEDTLS_MD_NONE, it is always overridden.
Parameters
ctxThe initialized RSA context to be configured.
paddingThe padding mode to use. This must be either MBEDTLS_RSA_PKCS_V15 or MBEDTLS_RSA_PKCS_V21.
hash_idThe hash identifier for PSS or OAEP, if padding is MBEDTLS_RSA_PKCS_V21. MBEDTLS_MD_NONE is accepted by this function but may be not suitable for some operations. Ignored if padding is MBEDTLS_RSA_PKCS_V15.
Returns
0 on success.
MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_INVALID_PADDING failure: padding or hash_id is invalid.
