Hi David,

Thank you for your help with the static memory allocation. I seem to have resolved my issues in regards to that, but now I am facing another issue.

Within the function wc_RsaFuncitonSync called from within wc_RsaFunction I am seeing the following errors and I am not sure how to resolve these issues:

/* tmpa = tmp^dP mod p */
r = mp_exptmod(&tmp, &key->dP, &key->p, &tmpa);
ret = RET_ERR(ret, r, MP_EXPTMOD_E);

R = -1
Ret = -112 (MP_EXPTMOD_E)

/* tmpb = tmp^dQ mod q */
r = mp_exptmod(&tmp, &key->dQ, &key->q, &tmpb);
ret = RET_ERR(ret, r, MP_EXPTMOD_E);

R = -1
Ret = -112

r = mp_mulmod(&tmp, &key->u, &key->p, &tmp);
ret = RET_ERR(ret, r, MP_MULMOD_E);

R = -1

Upon digging a bit further it seems that when mp_exptmod() ends up eventually calling making the call 

x = fp_count_bits (X);

from within 

static int _fp_exptmod(fp_int * G, fp_int * X, fp_int * P, fp_int * Y)

I see it enter the conditional statement 

if (a->used == 0) {
    return 0;
}

which eventually causes the error that I see at the higher level.

In regards to the error with mp_mulmod() I see that when the call 

err = fp_mod(&t, c, d);

is made from within 

int fp_mulmod(fp_int *a, fp_int *b, fp_int *c, fp_int *d)

I see that the conditional statement 

if ((err = fp_div(a, b, NULL, &t)) != FP_OKAY) {
   return err;
}

is the root of the error that I see at the higher level.

Do you have any clue as to why these errors would be occuring?

Thank you,
Thomas Hickey

Thank you very much for pointing out the error in wc_InitRsaKey.

And so if I am understanding this correctly, I can edit the values in WOLFMEM_DIST to create different numbers of buckets, the size of which are dictated by WOLFMEM_BUCKETS. Is that the correct way to interpret this? If so, is there a minimum size that I need to allocate for the wolfcrypt libraries to work? Or is that just dependent on how much memory my application actually needs to utilize based on my own usage?

Thank you,
Thomas Hickey

Hi, I am trying to implement RSA functionality on an embedded system with wolfCrypt and I have been running in to some issues that I was hoping to get some help with. Below is a snippet of code that I am trying to test the functionality of RSA with:

   uint32_t serialNo = 691;
            byte serialNumber[4] = {serialNo & 0xff, serialNo >> 8, serialNo >> 16, serialNo >> 24};

            /* SHA begin */
            wc_Sha sha;
            byte shaSum[32];
            wc_InitSha(&sha);
            wc_ShaUpdate(&sha, serialNumber, sizeof(serialNumber));
            wc_ShaFinal(&sha, shaSum);
            /* SHA end */

            /* RSA begin */

            WOLFSSL_HEAP_HINT *hint = NULL;
            unsigned char memory[2048];
            int memorySz = 2048;
            int flag = WOLFMEM_GENERAL;
            int ret;
            ret = wc_LoadStaticMemory(&hint, memory, memorySz, flag, 0);
            RsaKey rsaPubKey;

            wc_InitRsaKey(&rsaPubKey, &hint);
            byte rsaKey[] = { //DER formatted RSA key};

            word32 idx = 0;

            wc_RsaPublicKeyDecode(rsaKey, &idx, &rsaPubKey, sizeof(rsaKey));

            byte plain[1024];

            word32 plainSz = wc_RsaPrivateDecrypt(&shaSum[0], sizeof(shaSum), &plain[0], sizeof(plain),
                                                  &rsaPubKey);

            /* RSA end */

I am seeing that the function wc_LoadStaticMemory() returns without any errors, but when the following call to XMALLOC is made within the wc_RsaPrivateDecrypt() function I am seeing seeing that MEMORY_E is being returned, meaning that the actual malloc call to the static memory pool is failing. If anyone would be able to provide me with some insight as to why this may be occurring it would be greatly appreciated.

/* if not doing this inline then allocate a buffer for it */
        if (outPtr == NULL) {
            key->data = (byte*)XMALLOC(inLen, key->heap, DYNAMIC_TYPE_WOLF_BIGINT);
            key->dataIsAlloc = 1;
            if (key->data == NULL) {
                ret = MEMORY_E;
                break;
            }
            XMEMCPY(key->data, in, inLen);
        }

Thank you for your time,
Thomas Hickey
