digsig.h: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

2020-04-18T20:44:54+00:00

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

digsig: changed type of the timestamp

2012-02-20T08:46:36+00:00

time_t was used in the signature and key packet headers, which is typedef of long and is different on 32 and 64 bit architectures. Signature and key format should be independent of architecture. Similar to GPG, I have changed the type to uint32_t. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin Signed-off-by: James Morris

lib: digital signature config option name change

2012-01-17T23:46:21+00:00

It was reported that DIGSIG is confusing name for digital signature module. It was suggested to rename DIGSIG to SIGNATURE. Requested-by: Linus Torvalds Suggested-by: Pavel Machek Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin Signed-off-by: James Morris

crypto: digital signature verification support

2011-11-09T10:10:37+00:00

This patch implements RSA digital signature verification using GnuPG library. The format of the signature and the public key is defined by their respective headers. The signature header contains version information, algorithm, and keyid, which was used to generate the signature. The key header contains version and algorythim type. The payload of the signature and the key are multi-precision integers. The signing and key management utilities evm-utils provide functionality to generate signatures and load keys into the kernel keyring. When the key is added to the kernel keyring, the keyid defines the name of the key. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin Acked-by: Mimi Zohar
