Mbed Crypto
Mbed OS provides Mbed Crypto for targets that require support for entropy injection. For information about Mbed Crypto, please refer to the Mbed Crypto repository.
Both targets newly ported to Mbed OS and existing targets that use entropy injection require passing tests to validate Mbed Crypto functionality.
We run tests by default on several supported boards. To run the tests on a custom board, you can also run the tests manually by specifying additional compiler flags from the command-line.
Testing
Mbed OS currently provides two tests for Mbed Crypto:
- A test for initialization of the Mbed Crypto module.
- A test for entropy injection feature.
To run these tests, make sure make sure your target configuration is set:
extra_labelscontains the labelPSA. Please see an example using the K64F or Future Sequana.MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_Cmacro is enabled. Please see an example using the K64F or Future Sequana.MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_NV_SEEDmacro is enabled in the SPE if the device does not have TRNG or if you want the entropy injection test. Please see an example using the Future Sequana.MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_NV_SEED_READ_MACROmacro is set tombed_default_seed_readin the SPE if the device does not have TRNG or if you want the entropy injection test. Please see an example using the Future Sequana.MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_NV_SEED_WRITE_MACROmacro is set tombed_default_seed_writein the SPE if the device does not have TRNG or if you want the entropy injection test. Please see an example using the Future Sequana.
Compile and run
To compile and run the Mbed Crypto tests, run the following command:
mbed test -t <toolchain> -m <target> -n *entropy_inject,*crypto_init
