[PATCH v5 1/4] siphash: add cryptographically secure PRF

From: Jason A. Donenfeld
Date: Thu Dec 15 2016 - 15:33:06 EST


SipHash is a 64-bit keyed hash function that is actually a
cryptographically secure PRF, like HMAC. Except SipHash is super fast,
and is meant to be used as a hashtable keyed lookup function, or as a
general PRF for short input use cases, such as sequence numbers or RNG
chaining.

For the first usage:

There are a variety of attacks known as "hashtable poisoning" in which an
attacker forms some data such that the hash of that data will be the
same, and then preceeds to fill up all entries of a hashbucket. This is
a realistic and well-known denial-of-service vector. Currently
hashtables use jhash, which is fast but not secure, and some kind of
rotating key scheme (or none at all, which isn't good). SipHash is meant
as a replacement for jhash in these cases.

There are a modicum of places in the kernel that are vulnerable to
hashtable poisoning attacks, either via userspace vectors or network
vectors, and there's not a reliable mechanism inside the kernel at the
moment to fix it. The first step toward fixing these issues is actually
getting a secure primitive into the kernel for developers to use. Then
we can, bit by bit, port things over to it as deemed appropriate.

While SipHash is extremely fast for a cryptographically secure function,
it is likely a tiny bit slower than the insecure jhash, and so replacements
will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on whether or not the
difference in speed is negligible and whether or not the current jhash usage
poses a real security risk.

For the second usage:

A few places in the kernel are using MD5 for creating secure sequence
numbers, port numbers, or fast random numbers. SipHash is a faster, more
fitting, and more secure replacement for MD5 in those situations.
Replacing MD5 with SipHash for these uses is obvious and straight-
forward, and so is submitted along with this patch series. There
shouldn't be much of a debate over its efficacy.

Dozens of languages are already using this internally for their hash
tables and PRFs. Some of the BSDs already use this in their kernels.
SipHash is a widely known high-speed solution to a widely known set of
problems, and it's time we catch-up.
