[PATCH 06/23] KEYS: Add signature verification facility

[David Howells]

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].

 During key instantiation each parser in the list is tried until one doesn't

+ (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().
+
