[PATCH v4 00/15] crypto: dh - infrastructure for NVM in-band auth and FIPS conformance

From: Nicolai Stange
Date: Mon Feb 21 2022 - 07:14:02 EST


Hi all,

first of all, to the people primarily interested in security/keys/, there's
a rather trivial change to security/keys/dh.c in patch 4/15. It would be
great to get ACKs for that...

This patchset's main objective is to provide the DH related preprequisite
bits needed by the upcoming support for NVME in-band authentication ([1]),
namely
- support for the RFC 7919 ffdheXYZ group parameters (patches [1-8/15]) and
- an ephemeral key generation primitive for these (patches [9-11/15]).

With this in place, it happens to become relatively straight-forward to
achieve conformance with NIST SP800-56Ar3. The remainder of this patchset,
i.e. patches [12-15/15], implements the required changes.

The previous v3 of this patchset can be found at [2]. The only difference
between v3 and the v4 here is the removal of a superfluous "default n"
Kconfig statement in patch [7/15] ("crypto: dh - implement ffdheXYZ(dh)
templates").

I would like to reiterate that [12/15] ("crypto: api - allow algs only in
specific constructions in FIPS mode") is heavily based on a patch
previously posted by Herbert. Please refer to the v3 cover letter at [2]
for the full history.

Finally note that Stephan has granted his
Tested-by: Stephan Mueller <smueller@xxxxxxxxxx>
to v3 already ([3]). Stephan, with the trivial diff between v3 and v4,
would you be Ok with carrying it over?

Thanks,

Nicolai
