* pgcrypto: Remove non-OpenSSL supportPeter Eisentraut2021-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | pgcrypto had internal implementations of some encryption algorithms, as an alternative to calling out to OpenSSL. These were rarely used, since most production installations are built with OpenSSL. Moreover, maintaining parallel code paths makes the code more complex and difficult to maintain. This patch removes these internal implementations. Now, pgcrypto is only built if OpenSSL support is configured.

* Remove custom memory allocation layer in pgcryptoMichael Paquier2020-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | PX_OWN_ALLOC was intended as a way to disable the use of palloc(), and over the time new palloc() or equivalent calls have been added like in 32984d8, making this extra layer losing its original purpose. This simplifies on the way some code paths to use palloc0() rather than palloc() followed by memset(0).

* Make the order of the header file includes consistent in contrib modules.Amit Kapila2019-10-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The basic rule we follow here is to always first include 'postgres.h' or 'postgres_fe.h' whichever is applicable, then system header includes and then Postgres header includes.  In this, we also follow that all the Postgres header includes are in order based on their ASCII value.  We generally follow these rules, but the code has deviated in many places. This commit makes it consistent just for contrib modules. The later commits will enforce similar rules in other parts of code.

* Remove configure switch --disable-strong-randomMichael Paquier2019-01-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes a portion of infrastructure introduced by fe0a0b5 to allow compilation of Postgres in environments where no strong random source is available, meaning that there is no linking to OpenSSL and no /dev/urandom (Windows having its own CryptoAPI). No systems shipped this century lack /dev/urandom, and the buildfarm is actually not testing this switch at all, so just remove it. This simplifies particularly some backend code which included a fallback implementation using shared memory, and removes a set of alternate regression output files from pgcrypto.

* Replace PostmasterRandom() with a stronger source, second attempt.Heikki Linnakangas2016-12-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new routine, pg_strong_random() for generating random bytes, for use in both frontend and backend. At the moment, it's only used in the backend, but the upcoming SCRAM authentication patches need strong random numbers in libpq as well. pg_strong_random() is based on, and replaces, the existing implementation in pgcrypto. It can acquire strong random numbers from a number of sources, depending on what's available: - OpenSSL RAND_bytes(), if built with OpenSSL - On Windows, the native cryptographic functions are used - /dev/urandom Unlike the current pgcrypto function, the source is chosen by configure. That makes it easier to test different implementations, and ensures that we don't accidentally fall back to a less secure implementation, if the primary source fails. All of those methods are quite reliable, it would be pretty surprising for them to fail, so we'd rather find out by failing hard. If no strong random source is available, we fall back to using erand48(), seeded from current timestamp, like PostmasterRandom() was. That isn't cryptographically secure, but allows us to still work on platforms that don't have any of the above stronger sources. Because it's not very secure, the built-in implementation is only used if explicitly requested with --disable-strong-random. This replaces the more complicated Fortuna algorithm we used to have in pgcrypto, which is unfortunate, but all modern platforms have /dev/urandom, so it doesn't seem worth the maintenance effort to keep that. pgcrypto functions that require strong random numbers will be disabled with --disable-strong-random. Original patch by Magnus Hagander, tons of further work by Michael Paquier and me.

* "Annual" pgcrypto update from Marko Kreen:Neil Conway2006-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Few cleanups and couple of new things: - add SHA2 algorithm to older OpenSSL - add BIGNUM math to have public-key cryptography work on non-OpenSSL build. - gen_random_bytes() function The status of SHA2 algoritms and public-key encryption can now be changed to 'always available.' That makes pgcrypto functionally complete and unless there will be new editions of AES, SHA2 or OpenPGP standards, there is no major changes planned.

The actual RSA-specific code there is tiny, most of the patch consists of reorg of the pubkey code, as lots of it was written as elgamal-only. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SHLIB section was copy-pasted from somewhere and contains several unnecessary libs. This cleans it up a bit. -lcrypt we don't use system crypt() -lssl, -lssleay32 no SSL here -lz in win32 section already added on previous line -ldes The chance anybody has it is pretty low. And the chance pgcrypto works with it is even lower. Also trim the win32 section. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is already disabled in Makefile, remove code too. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was bit hasty making the random exponent 'k' a prime. Further researh shows that Elgamal encryption has no specific needs in respect to k, any random number is fine. It is bit different for signing, there it needs to be 'relatively prime' to p - 1, that means GCD(k, p-1) == 1, which is also a lot lighter than full primality. As we don't do signing, this can be ignored. This brings major speedup to Elgamal encryption. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- o pgp_mpi_free: Accept NULLs o pgp_mpi_cksum: result should be 16bit o Remove function name from error messages - to be similar to other SQL functions, and it does not match anyway the called function o remove couple junk lines --------------------------------------------------------------------------- o Support for RSA encryption o Big reorg to better separate generic and algorithm-specific code. o Regression tests for RSA. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- o Tom stuck a CVS id into file. I doubt the usefulness of it, but if it needs to be in the file then rather at the end. Also tag it as comment for asciidoc. o Mention bytea vs. text difference o Couple clarifications --------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a choice whether to update it with pgp functions or remove it. I decided to remove it, updating is pointless. I've tried to keep the core of pgcrypto relatively independent from main PostgreSQL, to make it easy to use externally if needed, and that is good. Eg. that made development of PGP functions much nicer. But I have no plans to release it as generic library, so keeping such doc up-to-date is waste of time. If anyone is interested in using it in other products, he can probably bother to read the source too. Commented source is another thing - I'll try to make another pass over code to see if there is anything non-obvious that would need more comments. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marko Kreen
