2015-09-15crypto: introduce new module for handling TLS sessionsDaniel P. Berrange
Introduce a QCryptoTLSSession object that will encapsulate all the code for setting up and using a client/sever TLS session. This isolates the code which depends on the gnutls library, avoiding #ifdefs in the rest of the codebase, as well as facilitating any possible future port to other TLS libraries, if desired. It makes use of the previously defined QCryptoTLSCreds object to access credentials to use with the session. It also includes further unit tests to validate the correctness of the TLS session handshake and certificate validation. This is functionally equivalent to the current TLS session handling code embedded in the VNC server, and will obsolete it. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
2015-09-15crypto: add sanity checking of TLS x509 credentialsDaniel P. Berrange
If the administrator incorrectly sets up their x509 certificates, the errors seen at runtime during connection attempts are very obscure and difficult to diagnose. This has been a particular problem for people using openssl to generate their certificates instead of the gnutls certtool, because the openssl tools don't turn on the various x509 extensions that gnutls expects to be present by default. This change thus adds support in the TLS credentials object to sanity check the certificates when QEMU first loads them. This gives the administrator immediate feedback for the majority of common configuration mistakes, reducing the pain involved in setting up TLS. The code is derived from equivalent code that has been part of libvirt's TLS support and has been seen to be valuable in assisting admins. It is possible to disable the sanity checking, however, via the new 'sanity-check' property on the tls-creds object type, with a value of 'no'. Unit tests are included in this change to verify the correctness of the sanity checking code in all the key scenarios it is intended to cope with. As part of the test suite, the pkix_asn1_tab.c from gnutls is imported. This file is intentionally copied from the (long since obsolete) gnutls 1.6.3 source tree, since that version was still under GPLv2+, rather than the GPLv3+ of gnutls >= 2.0. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2015-09-15crypto: introduce new module for TLS x509 credentialsDaniel P. Berrange
Introduce a QCryptoTLSCredsX509 class which is used to manage x509 certificate TLS credentials. This will be the preferred credential type offering strong security characteristics Example CLI configuration: $QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,endpoint=server,\ dir=/path/to/creds/dir,verify-peer=yes The 'id' value in the -object args will be used to associate the credentials with the network services. For example, when the VNC server is later converted it would use $QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,.... \ -vnc 127.0.0.1:1,tls-creds=tls0 Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2015-09-15crypto: introduce new module for TLS anonymous credentialsDaniel P. Berrange
Introduce a QCryptoTLSCredsAnon class which is used to manage anonymous TLS credentials. Use of this class is generally discouraged since it does not offer strong security, but it is required for backwards compatibility with the current VNC server implementation. Simple example CLI configuration: $QEMU -object tls-creds-anon,id=tls0,endpoint=server Example using pre-created diffie-hellman parameters $QEMU -object tls-creds-anon,id=tls0,endpoint=server,\ dir=/path/to/creds/dir The 'id' value in the -object args will be used to associate the credentials with the network services. For example, when the VNC server is later converted it would use $QEMU -object tls-creds-anon,id=tls0,.... \ -vnc 127.0.0.1:1,tls-creds=tls0 Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2015-09-15crypto: introduce new base module for TLS credentialsDaniel P. Berrange
Introduce a QCryptoTLSCreds class to act as the base class for storing TLS credentials. This will be later subclassed to provide handling of anonymous and x509 credential types. The subclasses will be user creatable objects, so instances can be created & deleted via 'object-add' and 'object-del' QMP commands respectively, or via the -object command line arg. If the credentials cannot be initialized an error will be reported as a QMP reply, or on stderr respectively. The idea is to make it possible to represent and manage TLS credentials independently of the network service that is using them. This will enable multiple services to use the same set of credentials and minimize code duplication. A later patch will convert the current VNC server TLS code over to use this object. The representation of credentials will be functionally equivalent to that currently implemented in the VNC server with one exception. The new code has the ability to (optionally) load a pre-generated set of diffie-hellman parameters, if the file dh-params.pem exists, whereas the current VNC server will always generate them on startup. This is beneficial for admins who wish to avoid the (small) time sink of generating DH parameters at startup and/or avoid depleting entropy. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
2015-07-08crypto: introduce generic cipher API & built-in implementationDaniel P. Berrange
Introduce a generic cipher API and an implementation of it that supports only the built-in AES and DES-RFB algorithms. The test suite checks the supported algorithms + modes to validate that every backend implementation is actually correctly complying with the specs. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2015-07-07crypto: move built-in D3DES implementation into crypto/Daniel P. Berrange
To prepare for a generic internal cipher API, move the built-in D3DES implementation into the crypto/ directory. This is not in fact a normal D3DES implementation, it is D3DES with double & triple length modes removed, and the key bytes in reversed bit order. IOW it is crippled specifically for the "benefit" of RFB, so call the new files desrfb.c instead of d3des.c to make it clear that it isn't a generally useful impl. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2015-07-07crypto: introduce new module for computing hash digestsDaniel P. Berrange
Introduce a new crypto/ directory that will (eventually) contain all the cryptographic related code. This initially defines a wrapper for initializing gnutls and for computing hashes with gnutls. The former ensures that gnutls is guaranteed to be initialized exactly once in QEMU regardless of CLI args. The block quorum code currently fails to initialize gnutls so it only works by luck, if VNC server TLS is not requested. The hash APIs avoids the need to litter the rest of the code with preprocessor checks and simplifies callers by allocating the correct amount of memory for the requested hash.
