Performance differences between v0.11.2 and v0.11.3 and OpenSSL

The overall result is promising: P-256 sign operation improved 9.4 times, but is still a 4.9 times slower than OpenSSL.

Numbers in operations per second (apart from speedup, which is a factor v0.11.3 / v0.11.2), gathered on a Intel i7-5600U CPU 2.60GHz using FreeBSD 14.0, OCaml 4.14.1, and OpenSSL 3.0.12.

v0.11.0 (2023-02-09)

  • BREAKING split mirage-crypto-rng-lwt away from mirage-crypto-rng (#168 @hannesm, reported by @bikallem #158) This means, a "mirage-crypto-rng.lwt" should now be "mirage-crypto-rng-lwt" in your dune file (or in META requires, or in _tags).
  • AEAD API improvements: provide tag_size, of_secret, and functions that deal with the tag separately (#171 @hannesm, fixes #74 #144 @orbitz @anmonteiro) Only CCM16 (with tag size 16) is now exposed, the former API does not exist anymore (passing ~maclen to of_secret), according to sherlocode the only usage was CCM16 anyways This means any "Mirage_crypto.AES.CCM" should now be "Mirage_crypto.AES.CCM16" and any "CCM.of_secret ~maclen:16 key" should now be "CCM16.of_secret key" Any occurrence of "Mirage_crypto.Cipher_block.S.CCM" should now be "Mirage_crypto.Cipher_block.S.CCM16"
  • BREAKING unify RNG initialization (reported by @talex5 in #155, fixes #160, PR #162 @hannesm) This means:

  • update fiat-crypto generated code (now emitting inline attribute) (#132 by @hannesm)

v0.10.2 (2021-06-07)

  • mirage-crypto-ec: dune C stubs compilation rules: explicitely declare the include directory instead of listing it as a flag, so that the dependency is correctly tracked (#122 by @TheLortex)
  • mirage-crypto: compatibility with gcc11 (-Warray-parameters warning) (reported in #124 by @TheLortex, fixed in #125 by @hannesm)
  • support for 64 bit RISC-V (#127 by @edwintorok)

  • mirage-crypto-ec: revise key generation API, and provide Dh.secret_of_cstruct for test vectors (and other scenarios where you need to decode an existing DH secret). Before, this was embedded into the generate function, which could diverged for some input (#119 @hannesm)

v0.9.2 (2021-04-08)

  • mirage-crypto-ec: fix X25519 and Ed25519 if called with Cstruct.t whose offset is not equal to 0. Add unit tests to avoid the same issue in the future (#118 by @hannesm)

  • mirage-crypto-ec: fix ECDSA verify if r or s are shorter than the modulus (#117 by @hannesm)
  • Fixed esy cross-compile CI (#116 by @EduardoRFS)

v0.9.0 (2021-03-31)

  • Elliptic curve support in the new package mirage-crypto-ec

    The arithmetic code is generated by fiat-crypto, a development in Coq which includes proofs of constant time behaviour. The generation can be reproduced (see ec/native/GNUmakefile).

    The group operation implementations are taken from BoringSSL. The high-level mechanisms (signature DSA and key exchange ECDH) are implemented in OCaml. The ECDSA implementation (as our DSA one) uses a deterministic k (RFC 6979).

    The NIST curves P224 (SECP224R1), P256 (SECP256R1), P384 (SECP384R1), and P521 (SECP521R1) are supported (ECDH and ECDSA), in addition to Curve25519 (X25519 and Ed25519).

    Performance of X25519 has been measured and is roughly the same as the hacl_x25519 and also the hacl opam package (see #107 for numbers).

    Tests vectors are from RFCs and wycheproof.

v0.8.10 (2021-01-21)

  • Rsa.priv: require 1 = d * e mod (lam n). This allows interoperability with OpenSSL generated keys. Reported and fixed by @psafont in #100.

v0.8.9 (2021-01-20)

  • Rsa: Adapt computation of d = e ^ -1 mod (lam n), with lam n = lcm (p - 1) (q - 1) (previously lam n = (p - 1) * (q - 1)) Fixes #62 reported by @mattjbray, investigated by @psafont, fixed in #99 by @hannesm

v0.8.8 (2021-01-04)

  • new package mirage-crypto-rng-async, entropy feeding using async (#90 @seliopou)
  • Entropy.cpu_rng and Entropy.cpu_rng_bootstrap result in Error `Not_supported on CPUs without RDRAND/RDSEED support (previously an exception was raised in cpu_rng_bootstrap, and cpu_rng resulted in a no-op) (#92 @seliopou)
  • Entropy.cpu_rng delays entropy feeding (returns unit -> unit instead of unit). This fixes a memory leak, reported by @talex5 #94, fixed in #95 by @hannesm The leak was introduced in v0.8.0.
  • Avoid illegal instructions on X86 CPUs without SSSE3 instruction set. Both SHA256 and ChaCha used PSHUFB which is not available on e.g. AMD Phenom II (report #93 by @dinosaure @samoht @pirbo @RichAyotte @sebeec, fixed in #96 by @hannesm)

v0.8.7 (2020-11-03)

  • Avoid misaligned cast in xor (#79 reported by @talex5 on arm32, fixed in #81 by @hannesm)

v0.8.3 (2020-07-27)

  • Fix ppc64le cycle_counter (add missing Val_long) (#78 @hannesm)
    • test_entropy is now test_entropy_collection
    • test_entropy checks timer and bootstrap functions
  • Avoid polluting symbol table with global non-prefixed symbols (reported by @anmonteiro in #77, fixed #78 @hannesm (suggested by @dinosaure))
  • Avoid "caml_" prefix in entropy_stubs, use "mc_" instead (#78 @hannesm)

v0.8.2 (2020-07-25)

  • Add support for ppc64le. (#76 @avsm)

v0.8.1 (2020-07-02)

  • Add Chacha20 implementation (based on abeaumont/ocaml-chacha), supporting both DJB's original specification (nonce 64 bit, counter 64 bit) and IETF (RFC 8439: nonce 96 bit, counter 32 bit) (#72 @hannesm)
  • Add Poly1305 implementation based on floodyberry/poly1305-donna (#72 @hannesm)
  • Unified AEAD module type, implemented by CCM, GCM, and Chacha20/Poly1305 The functions "authenticate_encrypt" and "authenticate_decrypt" are defined, which append (encrypt) and check equality (decrypt, using Eqaf for constant-time comparison) the authentication tag directly. Breaking changes:
    • GCM "~iv" is now "~nonce"
    • GCM encrypt returns the encrypted data and authentication tag appended
    • GCM decrypt returns the plaintext as option (None on authentication failure) (#73 @hannesm)

v0.8.0 (2020-06-18)

  • New package mirage-crypto-rng-mirage which contains the entropy collection code for MirageOS (#69 requested by @samoht, implemented by @hannesm)
  • Mirage_crypto_rng_lwt.initialize is not inside the Lwt monad anymore, and thus can be called by libraries at top level (#69, requested by @avsm @xguerin @talex5 in mirage/ocaml-conduit#318, implemented by @hannesm)
  • Both Mirage_crypto_rng_lwt.initialize and Mirage_crypto_rng_unix.initialize don't do anything if called a second time (#69, implemented by @hannesm)
  • Entropy source registration is now open and done via Entropy.register_source : string -> source, instead of a closed variant (#69, fixes #68, implemented by @hannesm)

v0.7.0 (2020-05-18)

  • CPU feature detection (AESNI, SSE3, PCLMULQ) at runtime instead of compile time (#53 @Julow, fixed MirageOS support #61, review by @hannesm) performance hit up to 5%
  • Revise entropy collection (#64 @hannesm review by @dinosaure @cfcs) mirage-crypto-entropy has been folded into mirage-crypto-rng.{unix,lwt,mirage}
    • the RNG is no longer fork() safe, if you use fork in your code, be sure to reseed the RNG in the child process
    • on Unix and Lwt, the used RNG is Fortuna, seeded by getrandom(), rdrand/rdseed, and whirlwind
    • Mirage_crypto_rng_lwt does entropy collection for Lwt applications
    • entropy collection is now similar to FreeBSD:
      • rdrand/rdseed is executed in a separate task (by default every second)
      • on Unix, getrandom() is executed in another separate task (by default every 10 seconds)
      • on every enter of the Lwt event loop, some bits of rdtsc are collected (rdrand/rdseed is not on each even loop enter anymore)
    • Fortuna only uses entropy pools if the given period is exhausted (defaults to 1s), and the pool size exceeds 64 bytes
    • The unseeded generator exception prints instructions how to seed the RNG
  • 32 bit support (for ghash), requested by @TImada in #60, #65 @hannesm
  • use Eqaf_cstruct.find_uint8 instead of Cs.ct_find_uint8 (#52 @dinosaure)
  • add (:standard) in C flags to allow cross-compilation #47 @samoht
  • Mirage_crypto.Uncommon: remove several functions (Cs.create, Option), requires OCaml 4.08 (#49 #51 @hannesm)
  • remove ocplib-endian dependency, use Bytes directly (since 4.07) #51 @hannesm
  • bitfn.h cleanup (#56 #58 @hannesm)

v0.6.2 (2020-03-19)

  • Do not validate hardcoded DH groups to speedup initializatio time (reported in #43 by @rbardou, fixed in #42 by @hannesm)

v0.6.1 (2020-03-15)

  • Add Windows 10+ support (#39 @avsm, review by @hannesm @dinosaure)
  • Fix unix stubs to be allocating in case of exception (#39 @avsm review by @hannesm @dinosaure)
  • Add GitHub Actions CI (#39 @avsm)
  • Rebuild source if the MIRAGE_CRYPTO_ACCELERATE environment variable changes value (#40 @avsm)

v0.6.0 (2020-03-11)

Initial release as mirage-crypto, based on nocrypto 0.5.4 (from January 2017), written by David Kaloper, and mirage-entropy 0.5.1 (February 2020). The goal is to maintain mirage-crypto collaboratively with required reviews for all pull requests, and a CI setup for multiple platforms, thus issues are caught early. The minimum targeted OCaml version is 4.07.0. Mirage-crypto and nocrypto can be installed in the same opam switch, and also linked into the same binary.

The major difference is a split into four opam packages:

  • mirage-crypto contains the hash algorithms and ciphers
  • mirage-crypto-pk contains the public key cryptography
  • mirage-crypto-rng contains the Random Number Generators
  • mirage-crypto-entropy contains entropy seeding code used by MirageOS (previously mirage-entropy)

Only mirage-crypto-pk depends on zarith and gmp, the dependency cone of the other packages is small.

Changes from nocrypto 0.5.4/mirage-entropy 0.5.1:

  • Dune is used as build system (no longer pack()ed, no optional dependencies)
  • Base64 has been removed, use base64
  • Numeric has been removed, Mirage_crypto_pk.Z_extra provides to/of_cstruct_be
  • RNG generators over numeric types (Rng.Int / Int32 / Int64) have been removed use randomconv
  • For random generation of Z.t, previously Rng.Z, now Mirage_crypto_pk.Z_extra.gen and gen_r are provided

mirage-crypto

  • Hash: Change of the hashing interface Hash.S:
    • t is now immutable;
    • feed and get are therefore referentially transparent; and
    • digestv was replaced by digesti. Old behavior of feed and get can be replicated by wrapping a t in a reference cell. digestv can be obtained by combining digesti with List.iter.
    • New functions: Hash.S.hmaci, Hash.digesti, Hash.maci
    • The type Hash.hash cannot be converted to a S-expression anymore
  • Counter module got removed
  • CTR mode: custom type ctr for the counter
  • GCM is accelerated (with pclmulqdq and SSE3)
  • CCM now computes correct tag with empty additional data
  • CCM fails with Invalid_argument when short or long nonce is used (previously assert false)
  • CCM decryption of empty ciphertext no longer fails
  • GCM fails on empty IV

mirage-crypto-pk

  • key data structures are private, smart constructors validate the key data
  • DSA blinding now blinds the entire computation of s (previously r was blinded), same as what OpenSSL does
  • RSA decrypt/sign has an optional argument (crt_hardening) to check whether the computed signature is valid (default true for PKCS1 signatures), avoiding Lenstra's CRT attack (mentioned again by Weimer)
  • use Eqaf_cstruct.equal instead of home-grown ct_eq
  • bindings with a bits argument are labeled to avoid confusion of bits and bytes
  • Dh secret is now a pair of group and secret, Dh.shared no longer gets the group as separate argument
  • the powm_sec function is used to improve timing side channels mitigation (see https://gmplib.org/~tege/modexp-silent.pdf for further detalls). RSA still uses (lacking alternatives) Z.erem and Z.mul/add/sub without timing mitigations, introduces 20-25% performance penalty (as shown below, and discussed in the pdf)

mirage-crypto-rng

  • Default RNG is now Null (previously: Fortuna)
  • The Mirage_crypto_rng_unix.initialize () sets the default RNG to direct syscalls to getrandom() (on Linux) or getentropy() (on BSD and macOS). Previously, /dev/urandom or /dev/random were used.to seed a Fortuna RNG. The Mirage_crypto_rng is now fork-safe on Unix systems: the child process no longer starts with the RNG seed of the parent.
  • As noted above, the generators for numeric types have been removed.

mirage-crypto-entropy

  • Control flow inverted, now Mirage_crypto_entropy sets the default RNG in Mirage_crypto_rng, and feeds this rng - previously, a RNG could register a callback to invoke whenever entropy was harvested.
  • AMD CPUs with bad rdrand/rdseed, which always return -1, are detected and not used
  • Initialization: in addition to whirlwind, rdrand/rdseed is used four times to seed the RNG (including check of the CR flag to ensure random was generated); if no hardware RNG is available, whirlwind is executed thrice.
