Safe output buffer size for psa_get_key_domain_parameters().

This macro returns a compile-time constant if its arguments are compile-time constants.

Warning

This function may call its arguments multiple times or zero times, so you should not pass arguments that contain side effects.

Note

This is an experimental extension to the interface. It may change in future versions of the library.

Parameters

key_type	A supported key type.
key_bits	The size of the key in bits.

Returns

If the parameters are valid and supported, return a buffer size in bytes that guarantees that psa_get_key_domain_parameters() will not fail with PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL. If the parameters are a valid combination that is not supported by the implementation, this macro shall return either a sensible size or 0. If the parameters are not valid, the return value is unspecified.

The type of a structure containing key attributes.

This is an opaque structure that can represent the metadata of a key object. Metadata that can be stored in attributes includes:

• The location of the key in storage, indicated by its key identifier and its lifetime.
• The key's policy, comprising usage flags and a specification of the permitted algorithm(s).
• Information about the key itself: the key type and its size.
• Implementations may define additional attributes.

The actual key material is not considered an attribute of a key. Key attributes do not contain information that is generally considered highly confidential.

An attribute structure can be a simple data structure where each function psa_set_key_xxx sets a field and the corresponding function psa_get_key_xxx retrieves the value of the corresponding field. However, implementations may report values that are equivalent to the original one, but have a different encoding. For example, an implementation may use a more compact representation for types where many bit-patterns are invalid or not supported, and store all values that it does not support as a special marker value. In such an implementation, after setting an invalid value, the corresponding get function returns an invalid value which may not be the one that was originally stored.

An attribute structure may contain references to auxiliary resources, for example pointers to allocated memory or indirect references to pre-calculated values. In order to free such resources, the application must call psa_reset_key_attributes(). As an exception, calling psa_reset_key_attributes() on an attribute structure is optional if the structure has only been modified by the following functions since it was initialized or last reset with psa_reset_key_attributes():

• psa_set_key_id()
• psa_set_key_lifetime()
• psa_set_key_type()
• psa_set_key_bits()
• psa_set_key_usage_flags()
• psa_set_key_algorithm()

Before calling any function on a key attribute structure, the application must initialize it by any of the following means:

• Set the structure to all-bits-zero, for example:
  1 psa_key_attributes_t attributes;

  2 memset(&attributes, 0, sizeof(attributes));
• Initialize the structure to logical zero values, for example:
  1 psa_key_attributes_t attributes = {0};
• Initialize the structure to the initializer #PSA_KEY_ATTRIBUTES_INIT, for example:
  1 psa_key_attributes_t attributes = PSA_KEY_ATTRIBUTES_INIT;
• Assign the result of the function psa_key_attributes_init() to the structure, for example:
  1 psa_key_attributes_t attributes;

  2 attributes = psa_key_attributes_init();

A freshly initialized attribute structure contains the following values:

• lifetime: PSA_KEY_LIFETIME_VOLATILE.
• key identifier: 0 (which is not a valid key identifier).
• type: 0 (meaning that the type is unspecified).
• key size: 0 (meaning that the size is unspecified).
• usage flags: 0 (which allows no usage except exporting a public key).
• algorithm: 0 (which allows no cryptographic usage, but allows exporting).

A typical sequence to create a key is as follows:

1. Create and initialize an attribute structure.
2. If the key is persistent, call psa_set_key_id(). Also call psa_set_key_lifetime() to place the key in a non-default location.
3. Set the key policy with psa_set_key_usage_flags() and psa_set_key_algorithm().
4. Set the key type with psa_set_key_type(). Skip this step if copying an existing key with psa_copy_key().
5. When generating a random key with psa_generate_key() or deriving a key with psa_key_derivation_output_key(), set the desired key size with psa_set_key_bits().
6. Call a key creation function: psa_import_key(), psa_generate_key(), psa_key_derivation_output_key() or psa_copy_key(). This function reads the attribute structure, creates a key with these attributes, and outputs a handle to the newly created key.
7. The attribute structure is now no longer necessary. You may call psa_reset_key_attributes(), although this is optional with the workflow presented here because the attributes currently defined in this specification do not require any additional resources beyond the structure itself.

A typical sequence to query a key's attributes is as follows:

1. Call psa_get_key_attributes().
2. Call psa_get_key_xxx functions to retrieve the attribute(s) that you are interested in.
3. Call psa_reset_key_attributes() to free any resources that may be used by the attribute structure.

Once a key has been created, it is impossible to change its attributes.

Declare the permitted algorithm policy for a key.

The permitted algorithm policy of a key encodes which algorithm or algorithms are permitted to be used with this key. The following algorithm policies are supported:

• 0 does not allow any cryptographic operation with the key. The key may be used for non-cryptographic actions such as exporting (if permitted by the usage flags).
• An algorithm value permits this particular algorithm.
• An algorithm wildcard built from PSA_ALG_ANY_HASH allows the specified signature scheme with any hash algorithm.

Parameters

[out]	attributes	The attribute structure to write to.
	bits	The key size in bits. If this is 0, the key size in attributes becomes unspecified. Keys of size 0 are not supported.

Set domain parameters for a key.

Some key types require additional domain parameters in addition to the key type identifier and the key size. Use this function instead of psa_set_key_type() when you need to specify domain parameters.

The format for the required domain parameters varies based on the key type.

• For RSA keys (PSA_KEY_TYPE_RSA_PUBLIC_KEY or PSA_KEY_TYPE_RSA_KEY_PAIR), the domain parameter data consists of the public exponent, represented as a big-endian integer with no leading zeros. This information is used when generating an RSA key pair. When importing a key, the public exponent is read from the imported key data and the exponent recorded in the attribute structure is ignored. As an exception, the public exponent 65537 is represented by an empty byte string.
• For DSA keys (PSA_KEY_TYPE_DSA_PUBLIC_KEY or PSA_KEY_TYPE_DSA_KEY_PAIR), the Dss-Parms format as defined by RFC 3279 §2.3.2.
  1 Dss-Parms ::= SEQUENCE {

  2  p INTEGER,

  3  q INTEGER,

  4  g INTEGER

  5 }
• For Diffie-Hellman key exchange keys (PSA_KEY_TYPE_DH_PUBLIC_KEY(PSA_DH_FAMILY_CUSTOM) or PSA_KEY_TYPE_DH_KEY_PAIR(PSA_DH_FAMILY_CUSTOM)), the DomainParameters format as defined by RFC 3279 §2.3.3.
  1 DomainParameters ::= SEQUENCE {

  2  p INTEGER, -- odd prime, p=jq +1

  3  g INTEGER, -- generator, g

  4  q INTEGER, -- factor of p-1

  5  j INTEGER OPTIONAL, -- subgroup factor

  6  validationParms ValidationParms OPTIONAL

  7 }

  8 ValidationParms ::= SEQUENCE {

  9  seed BIT STRING,

  10  pgenCounter INTEGER

  11 }

This function may allocate memory or other resources. Once you have called this function on an attribute structure, you must call psa_reset_key_attributes() to free these resources.

This is an experimental extension to the interface. It may change in future versions of the library.

Parameters

[in,out]	attributes	Attribute structure where the specified domain parameters will be stored. If this function fails, the content of attributes is not modified.
	type	Key type (a PSA_KEY_TYPE_XXX value).
[in]	data	Buffer containing the key domain parameters. The content of this buffer is interpreted according to type as described above.
	data_length	Size of the data buffer in bytes.

Return values

PSA_SUCCESS
PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
PSA_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED
PSA_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY

Declare the enrollment algorithm for a key.

An operation on a key may indifferently use the algorithm set with psa_set_key_algorithm() or with this function.

Parameters

[out]	attributes	The attribute structure to write to.
	alg2	A second algorithm that the key may be used for, in addition to the algorithm set with psa_set_key_algorithm().

Warning

Setting an enrollment algorithm is not recommended, because using the same key with different algorithms can allow some attacks based on arithmetic relations between different computations made with the same key, or can escalate harmless side channels into exploitable ones. Use this function only if it is necessary to support a protocol for which it has been verified that the usage of the key with multiple algorithms is safe.

Definition at line 66 of file TARGET_MBED_PSA_SRV/inc/psa/crypto_extra.h.

Declare a key as persistent and set its key identifier.

If the attribute structure currently declares the key as volatile (which is the default content of an attribute structure), this function sets the lifetime attribute to PSA_KEY_LIFETIME_PERSISTENT.

This function does not access storage, it merely stores the given value in the structure. The persistent key will be written to storage when the attribute structure is passed to a key creation function such as psa_import_key(), psa_generate_key(), psa_key_derivation_output_key() or psa_copy_key().

This function may be declared as static (i.e. without external linkage). This function may be provided as a function-like macro, but in this case it must evaluate each of its arguments exactly once.

Parameters

[out]	attributes	The attribute structure to write to.
	key	The persistent identifier for the key.

Set the location of a persistent key.

To make a key persistent, you must give it a persistent key identifier with psa_set_key_id(). By default, a key that has a persistent identifier is stored in the default storage area identifier by PSA_KEY_LIFETIME_PERSISTENT. Call this function to choose a storage area, or to explicitly declare the key as volatile.

This function does not access storage, it merely stores the given value in the structure. The persistent key will be written to storage when the attribute structure is passed to a key creation function such as psa_import_key(), psa_generate_key(), psa_key_derivation_output_key() or psa_copy_key().

This function may be declared as static (i.e. without external linkage). This function may be provided as a function-like macro, but in this case it must evaluate each of its arguments exactly once.

Parameters

[out]	attributes	The attribute structure to write to.
	lifetime	The lifetime for the key. If this is PSA_KEY_LIFETIME_VOLATILE, the key will be volatile, and the key identifier attribute is reset to 0.

Declare the type of a key.

This function overwrites any key type previously set in attributes.

This function may be declared as static (i.e. without external linkage). This function may be provided as a function-like macro, but in this case it must evaluate each of its arguments exactly once.

Parameters

[out]	attributes	The attribute structure to write to.
	type	The key type to write. If this is 0, the key type in attributes becomes unspecified.

Declare usage flags for a key.

Usage flags are part of a key's usage policy. They encode what kind of operations are permitted on the key. For more details, refer to the documentation of the type psa_key_usage_t.

This function overwrites any usage flags previously set in attributes.

This function may be declared as static (i.e. without external linkage). This function may be provided as a function-like macro, but in this case it must evaluate each of its arguments exactly once.

Parameters

[out]	attributes	The attribute structure to write to.
	usage_flags	The usage flags to write.
