[PATCH v3 0/2] mac80211: use crypto shash for AES cmac

[PATCH v3 0/2] mac80211: use crypto shash for AES cmac

[Ard Biesheuvel]

This is something I spotted while working on AES in various modes for
ARM and arm64.

The mac80211 aes_cmac code reimplements the CMAC algorithm based on the
core AES cipher, which is rather restrictive in how platforms can satisfy
the dependency on this algorithm. For instance, SIMD implementations may
have a considerable setup time, which cannot be amortized over the entire
input when calling into the crypto API one block at a time. Also, it prevents
the use of more secure fixed time implementations, since not all AES drivers
expose the cipher interface.

So switch aes_cmac to use a cmac(aes) shash. Before updating the aes_cmac code
in patch #2, the FILS AEAD code is moved to using a cmac(aes) shash supplied by
the crypto API so that we can remove the open coded version entirely in the
second patch.

v3: - use more idiomatic SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK to allocate the shash descriptors
    - replace compound literal zero vectors with explicitly defined ones
    - drop a redundant memcpy() in #2

[PATCH v3 1/2] mac80211: fils_aead: Use crypto api CMAC shash rather than bare cipher

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Switch the FILS AEAD code to use a cmac(aes) shash instantiated by the
crypto API rather than reusing the open coded implementation in
aes_cmac_vector(). This makes the code more understandable, and allows
platforms to implement cmac(aes) in a more secure (*) and efficient way
than is typically possible when using the AES cipher directly.

So replace the crypto_cipher by a crypto_shash, and update the aes_s2v()
routine to call the shash interface directly.

* In particular, the generic table based AES implementation is sensitive
  to known-plaintext timing attacks on the key, to which AES based MAC
  algorithms are especially vulnerable, given that their plaintext is not
  usually secret. Time invariant alternatives are available (e.g., based
  on SIMD algorithms), but may incur a setup cost that is prohibitive when
  operating on a single block at a time, which is why they don't usually
  expose the cipher API.

[PATCH v3 2/2] mac80211: aes-cmac: switch to shash CMAC driver

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Instead of open coding the CMAC algorithm in the mac80211 driver using
byte wide xors and calls into the crypto layer for each block of data,
instantiate a cmac(aes) synchronous hash and pass all the data into it
directly. This does not only simplify the code, it also allows the use
of more efficient and more secure implementations, especially on
platforms where SIMD ciphers have a considerable setup cost.

... for the 6th time, or so. The final vector may require two
update()s, so we cannot use digest() here. But we can use finup() for
the last one, which combines update() and final().

Hence,

init()/finup()

or

init()/update()/finup()

Each digest() call combines a init()/update()/final() sequence

... for the 6th time, or so. The final vector may require two
update()s, so we cannot use digest() here. But we can use finup() for
the last one, which combines update() and final().

Hence,

init()/finup()

or

init()/update()/finup()

depending on the length of the last vector.

Great, thanks for the explanation :)
