hardware acceleration of mbedtls-2021 , - does ST have that?

[TThom.2]

Does ST offer an implementation of hardware acceleration of mbedtls-2021?

I found this:

STM32CubeL5\Projects\STM32L562E-DK\Applications\TFM\TFM_Appli\Secure\Src\ecdsa_alt.c

STM32CubeL5\Projects\STM32L562E-DK\Applications\TFM\TFM_Appli\Secure\Src\ecdsa_curves_alt.c

from https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeL5.git

This is excactly what I want (a bridge between mbedtls and the PKA_HAL driver), but it's for a 2019 version of mbedtls, and the mbedtls folks since broke the interface, so it doesn't compile. (and it doesn't look like an quick/easy fix)

Is there a newer version somewhere?

Thx , and sorry for the vague versions mentioned.

 https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeL5.git uses mbedtls 2.16.2

I would like to use 2.26.x (or 2.27 or 3.0.0)

Hi @TThom.2​ ,

Our Expert was quick to provide an answer :)

Unfortunately, there is no plan to integrate new mbedtls version in the near future.

However, there is a suggested workaround to get rid of the compilation errors which is an ECC mbed TLS to PKA wrapper with recent mbed TLS version.

You find it attached and it will be interesting to keep us informed about the results on your side.
