Subject: [PATCH 00/18] crypto: dh - infrastructure for NVM in-band auth and FIPS conformance

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 2/18. It would be
great to get ACKs for that...


Hannes' recent work on NVME in-band authentication ([1]) needs access to
the RFC 7919 DH group parameters and also some means to generate ephemeral
keys. He currently implements both as part of his patchset (patches 3/12
and 8/12). After some internal discussion, we decided to split off the bits
needed from crypto/dh into a separate series, i.e. this one here:
 - for the RFC 7919 DH group parameters, it's undesirable from a
   performance POV to serialize the well-known domain parameters via
   crypto_dh_encode_key() just to deserialize them shortly after again,
 - from an architectural POV, it would be preferrable to have the key
   generation code in crypto/dh.c rather than in drivers/nvme/,
   just in analogy to how key generation is supported by crypto/ecdh.c
   already.

Patches 1-13/18 implement all that is needed for the NVME in-band
authentication support. 

Unfortunately, due to the lack of HW, I have not been able to test
the changes to the QAT or HPRE drivers (other than mere compile tests).
Yet I figured it would be a good idea to have them behave consistently with
dh_generic, and so I chose to introduce support for privkey generation to
these as well.


By coincidence, NIST SP800-56Arev3 compliance effectively requires that
the domain parameters are checked against an approved set, which happens
to consists of those safe-prime group parameters specified in RFC 7919,
among others. Thus, introducing the RFC 7919 parameters to the kernel
allows for making the DH implementation to conform to SP800-56Arev3 with
only little effort. I used the opportunity to work crypto/dh towards
SP800-56Arev3 conformance with the rest of this patch series, i.e.
patches 14-18/18. I can split these into another series on its own, if you
like. But as they depend on the earlier patches 1-13/18, I sent them
alongside for now.

This patchset has been tested with and without fips_enabled on x86_64,
ppc64le and s390x, the latter being a big endian machine, which is relevant
for the new test vectors.

Thanks,

Nicolai
