Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Add support for x509 certs with NIST p256 and p192 keys

From: Stefan Berger <stefanb@...ux.ibm.com>

This series of patches adds support for x509 certificates signed by a CA
that uses NIST p256 or p192 keys for signing. It also adds support for
certificates where the public key is a NIST p256 or p192 key. The math
for ECDSA signature verification is also added.

Since self-signed certificates are verified upon loading, the following
script can be used for testing:

keyctrl newring test @u

while :; do
	for hash in sha1 sha224 sha256 sha384 sha512; do
		openssl req \
			-x509 \
			-${hash} \
			-newkey ec \
			-pkeyopt ec_paramgen_curve:prime256v1 \
			-keyout key.pem \
			-days 365 \
			-subj '/CN=test' \
			-nodes \
			-outform der \
			-out cert.der
		keyctl padd asymmetric testkey %keyring:test < cert.der
		if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
			echo "ERROR"
			exit 1
		fi
	done
done

It also works with restricted keyrings where an RSA key is used to sign
a NIST P256/P192 key:



The ECDSA signature verification will be used by IMA Appraisal where ECDSA
file signatures stored in RPM packages will use substantially less space
than if RSA signatures were to be used.
