mirage-crypto-pk: remove s-expression converters and sexplib0 dependency #208
Conversation
I used sherlocode to search for users of this functionality and didn't find any. |
I would be in favor of removing this. However, I found a few users of the sexp converters by searching GitHub. Most notable are jackline and opam-health-check: Those two use the sexp serializers to store keys. Probably for those two cases deserializers could be implemented manually. |
@reynir indeed, well spotted. I guess some serialisation format is sensible -- but then for private keys PKCS8 (via For jackline, I would just embed the priv_of_sexp in that codebase and use (for newly generated OTR keys) PKCS8. In opam-health-check I guess it makes sense to open an issue about it. The Blockchain4Me doesn't look active, and based on the name I won't put much time into it. |

CHANGES: ### Breaking changes * mirage-crypto: Poly1305 API now uses string (mirage/mirage-crypto#203 @hannesm) * mirage-crypto: Poly1305 no longer has type alias "type mac = string" (mirage/mirage-crypto#232 @hannesm) * mirage-crypto: the API uses string instead of cstruct (mirage/mirage-crypto#214 @reynir @hannesm) * mirage-crypto: Hash module has been removed. Use digestif if you need hash functions (mirage/mirage-crypto#213 @hannesm) * mirage-crypto: the Cipher_block and Cipher_stream modules have been removed, its contents is inlined: Mirage_crypto.Cipher_block.S -> Mirage_crypto.Block Mirage_crypto.Cipher_stream.S -> Mirage_crypto.Stream Mirage_crypto.Cipher_block.AES.CTR -> Mirage_crypto.AES.CTR (mirage/mirage-crypto#225 @hannesm, suggested in mirage/mirage-crypto#224 by @reynir) * mirage-crypto-pk: s-expression conversions for private and public keys (Dh, Dsa, Rsa) have been removed. You can use PKCS8 for encoding and decoding `X509.{Private,Public}_key.{en,de}code_{der,pem}` (mirage/mirage-crypto#208 @hannesm) * mirage-crypto-pk: in the API, Cstruct.t is no longer present. Instead, string is used (mirage/mirage-crypto#211 @reynir @hannesm) * mirage-crypto-rng: the API uses string instead of Cstruct.t. A new function `generate_into : ?g -> bytes -> ?off:int -> int -> unit` is provided (mirage/mirage-crypto#212 @hannesm @reynir) * mirage-crypto-ec: remove NIST P224 support (mirage/mirage-crypto#209 @hannesm @Firobe) * mirage-crypto: in Uncommon.xor_into the arguments ~src_off and ~dst_off are required now (mirage/mirage-crypto#232 @hannesm), renamed to unsafe_xor_into (98f01b14f5ebf98ba0e7e9c2ba97ec518f90fddc) * mirage-crypto-pk, mirage-crypto-rng: remove type alias "type bits = int" (mirage/mirage-crypto#236 @hannesm) ### Bugfixes * mirage-crypto (32 bit systems): CCM with long adata (mirage/mirage-crypto#207 @reynir) * mirage-crypto-ec: fix K_gen for bitlen mod 8 != 0 (reported in mirage/mirage-crypto#105 that P521 test vectors don't pass, re-reported mirage/mirage-crypto#228, fixed mirage/mirage-crypto#230 @Firobe) * mirage-crypto-ec: zero out bytes allocated for Field_element.zero (reported mirleft/ocaml-x509#167, fixed mirage/mirage-crypto#226 @dinosaure) ### Data race free * mirage-crypto (3DES): avoid global state in key derivation (mirage/mirage-crypto#223 @hannesm) * mirage-crypto-rng: use atomic instead of reference to be domain-safe (mirage/mirage-crypto#221 @dinosaure @reynir @hannesm) * mirage-crypto, mirage-crypto-rng, mirage-crypto-pk, mirage-crypto-ec: avoid global buffers, use freshly allocated strings/bytes instead, avoids data races (mirage/mirage-crypto#186 mirage/mirage-crypto#219 @dinosaure @reynir @hannesm) ### Other changes * mirage-crypto: add {de,en}crypt_into functions (and unsafe variants) to allow less buffer allocations (mirage/mirage-crypto#231 @hannesm) * mirage-crypto-rng-miou: new package which adds rng support with miou (mirage/mirage-crypto#227 @dinosaure) * PERFORMANCE mirage-crypto: ChaCha20/Poly1305 use string instead of Cstruct.t, ChaCha20 interface unchanged, performance improvement roughly 2x (mirage/mirage-crypto#203 @hannesm @reynir) * mirage-crypto-ec, mirage-crypto-pk, mirage-crypto-rng: use digestif for hashes (mirage/mirage-crypto#212 mirage/mirage-crypto#215 @reynir @hannesm) * mirage-crypto-rng: use a set for entropy sources instead of a list (mirage/mirage-crypto#218 @hannesm) * mirage-crypto-rng-mirage: provide a module type S (for use instead of mirage-random in mirage) (mirage/mirage-crypto#234 @hannesm)
