crypto: shash - remove shash_desc::flags

2019-04-25T07:38:12+00:00

The flags field in 'struct shash_desc' never actually does anything. The only ostensibly supported flag is CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP. However, no shash algorithm ever sleeps, making this flag a no-op. With this being the case, inevitably some users who can't sleep wrongly pass MAY_SLEEP. These would all need to be fixed if any shash algorithm actually started sleeping. For example, the shash_ahash_*() functions, which wrap a shash algorithm with the ahash API, pass through MAY_SLEEP from the ahash API to the shash API. However, the shash functions are called under kmap_atomic(), so actually they're assumed to never sleep. Even if it turns out that some users do need preemption points while hashing large buffers, we could easily provide a helper function crypto_shash_update_large() which divides the data into smaller chunks and calls crypto_shash_update() and cond_resched() for each chunk. It's not necessary to have a flag in 'struct shash_desc', nor is it necessary to make individual shash algorithms aware of this at all. Therefore, remove shash_desc::flags, and document that the crypto_shash_*() functions can be called from any context. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

fscrypt: cache decrypted symlink target in ->i_link

2019-04-17T16:43:29+00:00

Path lookups that traverse encrypted symlink(s) are very slow because each encrypted symlink needs to be decrypted each time it's followed. This also involves dropping out of rcu-walk mode. Make encrypted symlinks faster by caching the decrypted symlink target in ->i_link. The first call to fscrypt_get_symlink() sets it. Then, the existing VFS path lookup code uses the non-NULL ->i_link to take the fast path where ->get_link() isn't called, and lookups in rcu-walk mode remain in rcu-walk mode. Also set ->i_link immediately when a new encrypted symlink is created. To safely free the symlink target after an RCU grace period has elapsed, introduce a new function fscrypt_free_inode(), and make the relevant filesystems call it just before actually freeing the inode.

fscrypt: use READ_ONCE() to access ->i_crypt_info

2019-04-16T22:57:09+00:00

->i_crypt_info starts out NULL and may later be locklessly set to a non-NULL value by the cmpxchg() in fscrypt_get_encryption_info(). But ->i_crypt_info is used directly, which technically is incorrect. It's a data race, and it doesn't include the data dependency barrier needed to safely dereference the pointer on at least one architecture. Fix this by using READ_ONCE() instead. Note: we don't need to use smp_load_acquire(), since dereferencing the pointer only requires a data dependency barrier, which is already included in READ_ONCE(). We also don't need READ_ONCE() in places where ->i_crypt_info is unconditionally dereferenced, since it must have already been checked. Also downgrade the cmpxchg() to cmpxchg_release(), since RELEASE semantics are sufficient on the write side. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

crypto: clarify name of WEAK_KEY request flag

2019-01-25T10:41:52+00:00

CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_WEAK_KEY confuses newcomers to the crypto API because it sounds like it is requesting a weak key. Actually, it is requesting that weak keys be forbidden (for algorithms that have the notion of "weak keys"; currently only DES and XTS do). Also it is only one letter away from CRYPTO_TFM_RES_WEAK_KEY, with which it can be easily confused. (This in fact happened in the UX500 driver, though just in some debugging messages.) Therefore, make the intent clear by renaming it to CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_FORBID_WEAK_KEYS. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

fscrypt: add Adiantum support

2019-01-06T13:36:21+00:00

Add support for the Adiantum encryption mode to fscrypt. Adiantum is a tweakable, length-preserving encryption mode with security provably reducible to that of XChaCha12 and AES-256, subject to a security bound. It's also a true wide-block mode, unlike XTS. See the paper "Adiantum: length-preserving encryption for entry-level processors" (https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/720.pdf) for more details. Also see commit 059c2a4d8e16 ("crypto: adiantum - add Adiantum support"). On sufficiently long messages, Adiantum's bottlenecks are XChaCha12 and the NH hash function. These algorithms are fast even on processors without dedicated crypto instructions. Adiantum makes it feasible to enable storage encryption on low-end mobile devices that lack AES instructions; currently such devices are unencrypted. On ARM Cortex-A7, on 4096-byte messages Adiantum encryption is about 4 times faster than AES-256-XTS encryption; decryption is about 5 times faster. In fscrypt, Adiantum is suitable for encrypting both file contents and names. With filenames, it fixes a known weakness: when two filenames in a directory share a common prefix of >= 16 bytes, with CTS-CBC their encrypted filenames share a common prefix too, leaking information. Adiantum does not have this problem. Since Adiantum also accepts long tweaks (IVs), it's also safe to use the master key directly for Adiantum encryption rather than deriving per-file keys, provided that the per-file nonce is included in the IVs and the master key isn't used for any other encryption mode. This configuration saves memory and improves performance. A new fscrypt policy flag is added to allow users to opt-in to this configuration. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

crypto: speck - remove Speck

2018-09-04T03:35:03+00:00

These are unused, undesired, and have never actually been used by anybody. The original authors of this code have changed their mind about its inclusion. While originally proposed for disk encryption on low-end devices, the idea was discarded [1] in favor of something else before that could really get going. Therefore, this patch removes Speck.

fscrypt: log the crypto algorithm implementations

2018-05-20T20:36:00+00:00

Log the crypto algorithm driver name for each fscrypt encryption mode on its first use, also showing a friendly name for the mode. This will help people determine whether the expected implementations are being used. In some cases we've seen people do benchmarks and reject using encryption for performance reasons, when in fact they used a much slower implementation of AES-XTS than was possible on the hardware. It can make an enormous difference; e.g., AES-XTS on ARM is about 10x faster with the crypto extensions (AES instructions) than without. This also makes it more obvious which modes are being used, now that fscrypt supports multiple combinations of modes. Example messages (with default modes, on x86_64): [ 35.492057] fscrypt: AES-256-CTS-CBC using implementation "cts(cbc-aes-aesni)" [ 35.492171] fscrypt: AES-256-XTS using implementation "xts-aes-aesni" Note: algorithms can be dynamically added to the crypto API, which can result in different implementations being used at different times. But this is rare; for most users, showing the first will be good enough. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

fscrypt: add Speck128/256 support

2018-05-20T20:35:51+00:00

fscrypt currently only supports AES encryption. However, many low-end mobile devices have older CPUs that don't have AES instructions, e.g. the ARMv8 Cryptography Extensions. Currently, user data on such devices is not encrypted at rest because AES is too slow, even when the NEON bit-sliced implementation of AES is used. Unfortunately, it is infeasible to encrypt these devices at all when AES is the only option. Therefore, this patch updates fscrypt to support the Speck block cipher, which was recently added to the crypto API. The C implementation of Speck is not especially fast, but Speck can be implemented very efficiently with general-purpose vector instructions, e.g. ARM NEON. For example, on an ARMv7 processor, we measured the NEON-accelerated Speck128/256-XTS at 69 MB/s for both encryption and decryption, while AES-256-XTS with the NEON bit-sliced implementation was only 22 MB/s encryption and 19 MB/s decryption. There are multiple variants of Speck. This patch only adds support for Speck128/256, which is the variant with a 128-bit block size and 256-bit key size -- the same as AES-256. This is believed to be the most secure variant of Speck, and it's only about 6% slower than Speck128/128. Speck64/128 would be at least 20% faster because it has 20% rounds, and it can be even faster on CPUs that can't efficiently do the 64-bit operations needed for Speck128. However, Speck64's 64-bit block size is not preferred security-wise. ARM NEON also supports the needed 64-bit operations even on 32-bit CPUs, resulting in Speck128 being fast enough for our targeted use cases so far. The chosen modes of operation are XTS for contents and CTS-CBC for filenames. These are the same modes of operation that fscrypt defaults to for AES. Note that as with the other fscrypt modes, Speck will not be used unless userspace chooses to use it. Nor are any of the existing modes (which are all AES-based) being removed, of course. We intentionally don't make CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION select CONFIG_CRYPTO_SPECK, so people will have to enable Speck support themselves if they need it. This is because we shouldn't bloat the FS_ENCRYPTION dependencies with every new cipher, especially ones that aren't recommended for most users. Moreover, CRYPTO_SPECK is just the generic implementation, which won't be fast enough for many users; in practice, they'll need to enable CRYPTO_SPECK_NEON to get acceptable performance. More details about our choice of Speck can be found in our patches that added Speck to the crypto API, and the follow-on discussion threads. We're planning a publication that explains the choice in more detail. But briefly, we can't use ChaCha20 as we previously proposed, since it would be insecure to use a stream cipher in this context, with potential IV reuse during writes on f2fs and/or on wear-leveling flash storage. We also evaluated many other lightweight and/or ARX-based block ciphers such as Chaskey-LTS, RC5, LEA, CHAM, Threefish, RC6, NOEKEON, SPARX, and XTEA. However, all had disadvantages vs. Speck, such as insufficient performance with NEON, much less published cryptanalysis, or an insufficient security level. Various design choices in Speck make it perform better with NEON than competing ciphers while still having a security margin similar to AES, and in the case of Speck128 also the same available security levels. Unfortunately, Speck does have some political baggage attached -- it's an NSA designed cipher, and was rejected from an ISO standard (though for context, as far as I know none of the above-mentioned alternatives are ISO standards either). Nevertheless, we believe it is a good solution to the problem from a technical perspective. Certain algorithms constructed from ChaCha or the ChaCha permutation, such as MEM (Masked Even-Mansour) or HPolyC, may also meet our performance requirements. However, these are new constructions that need more time to receive the cryptographic review and acceptance needed to be confident in their security. HPolyC hasn't been published yet, and we are concerned that MEM makes stronger assumptions about the underlying permutation than the ChaCha stream cipher does. In contrast, the XTS mode of operation is relatively well accepted, and Speck has over 70 cryptanalysis papers. Of course, these ChaCha-based algorithms can still be added later if they become ready. The best known attack on Speck128/256 is a differential cryptanalysis attack on 25 of 34 rounds with 2^253 time complexity and 2^125 chosen plaintexts, i.e. only marginally faster than brute force. There is no known attack on the full 34 rounds. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

fscrypt: only derive the needed portion of the key

2018-05-20T20:21:05+00:00

Currently the key derivation function in fscrypt uses the master key length as the amount of output key material to derive. This works, but it means we can waste time deriving more key material than is actually used, e.g. most commonly, deriving 64 bytes for directories which only take a 32-byte AES-256-CTS-CBC key. It also forces us to validate that the master key length is a multiple of AES_BLOCK_SIZE, which wouldn't otherwise be necessary. Fix it to only derive the needed length key.
