Subject: [PATCH 06/29] KEYS: Add signature verification facility [ver #4]
Add a facility whereby a key subtype may be asked to verify a signature against
the data it is purported to have signed.
This adds four routines:
(1) struct crypto_key_verify_context *
verify_sig_begin(struct key *keyring, const void *sig, size_t siglen);
This sets up a verification context for the given signature using
information in that signature to select a key from the specified keyring
and to request a hash algorithm from the crypto layer.
(2) int verify_sig_add_data(struct crypto_key_verify_context *ctx,
const void *data, size_t datalen);
Incrementally supply data to be signed. May be called multiple times.
(3) int verify_sig_end(struct crypto_key_verify_context *ctx,
const void *sig, size_t siglen);
Complete the verification process and return the result. -EKEYREJECTED
will indicate that the verification failed and 0 will indicate success.
Other errors are also possible.
(4) void verify_sig_cancel(struct crypto_key_verify_context *ctx);
Cancel the verification process.

+SIGNATURE VERIFICATION
+----------------------
+
+The four operations that can perform cryptographic signature verification,
+using one of a set of keys to provide the public key:
+
+ (1) Begin verification procedure.
+
+ struct crypto_key_verify_context *
+ verify_sig_begin(struct key *keyring, const void *sig, size_t siglen);
+
+ This function sets up a verification context from the information in the
+ signature and looks for a suitable key in the keyring. The signature blob
+ must be presented again at the end of the procedure. The keys will be
+ checked against parameters in the signature, and if the matching one is
+ not found then -ENOKEY will be returned.
+
+ The hashing algorithm, if such a thing applies, will be determined from
+ information in the signature and the appropriate crypto module will be
+ used. -ENOPKG will be returned if the hash algorithm is unavailable.
+
+ The return value is an opaque pointer to be passed to the other functions,
+ or a negative error code.
+
+ (2) Indicate data to be verified.
+
+ int verify_sig_add_data(struct crypto_key_verify_context *ctx,
+ const void *data, size_t datalen);
+
+ This function is used to shovel data to the verification procedure so that
+ it can load it into the hash, pass it to hardware or whatever is
+ appropriate for the algorithm being employed.
+
+ The data is not canonicalised for the document type specified in the
+ signature. The caller must do that.
+
+ It will return 0 if successful and a negative error code if not.
+
+ (3) Complete the verification process.
+
+ int verify_sig_end(struct crypto_key_verify_context *ctx,
+ const void *sig, size_t siglen);
+
+ This function performs the actual signature verification step and cleans
+ up the resources allocated at the beginning. The signature must be
+ presented again as some of the data therein may need to be added to the
+ internal hash.
+
+ It will return -EKEYREJECTED if the signature didn't match, 0 if
+ successful and may return other errors as appropriate.
+
+ (4) Cancel the verification process.
+
+ void verify_sig_cancel(struct crypto_key_verify_context *ctx);
+
+ This function cleans up the resources allocated at the beginning. This is
+ not necessary if verify_sig_end() was called.

IMPLEMENTING CRYPTO PARSERS

The crypto key type keeps a list of registered data parsers. An example of
such a parser is one that parses OpenPGP packet formatted data [RFC 4880].

+ (2) verify_sig_begin().
+
+ This is similar in concept to the instantiate() function, except that it
+ is given a signature blob to parse rather than a key data blob.
+
+ If the data format is not recognised, -EBADMSG should be returned. If it
+ is recognised, but the signature verification process cannot for some
+ reason be set up, some other negative error code should be returned.
+ -ENOKEY should be used to indicate that no matching key is available and
+ -ENOPKG should be returned if the hash algorithm or the verification
+ algorithm are unavailable.
+
+ If successful, the parser should allocate a verification context and embed
+ the following struct in it:
+
+ struct crypto_key_verify_context {
+ struct key *key;
+ int (*add_data)(struct crypto_key_verify_context *ctx,
+ const void *data, size_t datalen);
+ int (*end)(struct crypto_key_verify_context *ctx,
+ const u8 *sig, size_t siglen);
+ void (*cancel)(struct crypto_key_verify_context *ctx);
+ };
+
+ and return a pointer to this to the caller, who will then pass it to the
+ verification operation wrappers described in the "Signature Verification"
+ section. The three operation pointers here correspond exactly to those
+ wrappers and are all mandatory. container_of() should be used to retrieve
+ the actual context.
+
+ Note that the crypto key type retains a reference on the parser module for
+ the lifetime of this context, though the operation pointers need not point
+ into this module.
+
+ The parser should also record a pointer to the key selected and take a
+ reference on that key with key_get().
