The implementation is not yet merged into Mbed TLS.** + +This document describes how to build Mbed TLS with additional cryptoprocessor drivers that follow the PSA cryptoprocessor driver interface. + +The interface is not fully implemented in Mbed TLS yet and is disabled by default. You can enable the experimental work in progress by setting `MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS` in the compile-time configuration. Please note that the interface may still change: until further notice, we do not guarantee backward compatibility with existing driver code when `MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS` is enabled. + +## Introduction + +The PSA cryptography driver interface provides a way to build Mbed TLS with additional code that implements certain cryptographic primitives. This is primarily intended to support platform-specific hardware. + +Note that such drivers are only available through the PSA cryptography API (crypto functions beginning with `psa_`, and X.509 and TLS interfaces that reference PSA types). + +Concretely speaking, a driver consists of one or more **driver description files** in JSON format and some code to include in the build. The driver code can either be provided in binary form as additional object file to link, or in source form. + +## How to build Mbed TLS with drivers + +To build Mbed TLS with drivers: + +1. Activate `MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS` in the library configuration. + + ``` + cd /path/to/mbedtls + scripts/config.py set MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS + ``` + +2. Pass the driver description files through the Make variable `PSA_DRIVERS` when building the library. + + ``` + cd /path/to/mbedtls + make PSA_DRIVERS="/path/to/acme/driver.json /path/to/nadir/driver.json" lib + ``` + +3. Link your application with the implementation of the driver functions. + + ``` + cd /path/to/application + ld myapp.o -L/path/to/acme -lacmedriver -L/path/to/nadir -lnadirdriver -L/path/to/mbedtls -lmbedcrypto + ``` + +<!-- TODO: what if the driver is provided as C source code? --> + +<!-- TODO: what about additional include files? --> |
