The OID (1.3.6.1.4.1.3029.1.2) is technically not correct, the correct
one is (1.3.6.1.4.1.3029.1.1.2). Every other library or tool (like OpenSSL)
uses the incorrect one so we do the same.
References #740.
While it was always documented as boolean setting, the option is currently
handled as integer value, for which yes/no values do not work. Instead the
default of TRUE is used for a no value.
The option has been moved a lot during the last years, and in some locations
was handled as bool, in some as integer. In the latest codebase it
congruently used integer, which is actually not what is documented and used
in testing.
Fixes#781.
The new get_byte() method returns a pseudo-random byte at a time.
Changed the get_bits() interface to the same interface as get_byte().
Updated the mgf1 unit-tests accordingly.
To avoid any race conditions when multiple threads call and initialize
diffie_hellman_get_params(), explicitly examine the optimum DH exponent size
during library initialization.
Fixes#655.
The salt, or often called implicit nonce, varies between AEAD algorithms and
their use in protocols. For IKE and ESP, GCM uses 4 bytes, while CCM uses
3 bytes. With TLS, however, AEAD mode uses 4 bytes for both GCM and CCM.
Our GCM backends currently support 4 bytes and CCM 3 bytes only. This is fine
until we go for CCM mode support in TLS, which requires 4 byte nonces.
The Blowfish and Twofish implementations provided by the gcrypt plugin
only support specific key lengths, which we don't know when testing
against vectors (either during unit tests or during algorithm
registration). The on_create test with a specific key length will be
skipped anyway, so there is no point in treating this failure differently.
Previously, the {ns}.crypto_test.on_add option had to be enabled to
actually test the algorithms, which we can't enforce for the tests in
the test_runner as the option is already read when the crypto factory
is initialized. Even so, we wouldn't want to do this for every unit
test, which would be the result of enabling that option.
If a proposal string cannot be matched to a token using strcmp (e.g. if
you want to register a whole class of algorithms containing their ID,
like my_alg_2342), you can use the provided function to register a
parser that transforms the given string into a proposal token.
