crypto: modernize DH/ECDH/ECDH-ES #31178

tniessen · 2020-01-03T15:27:45Z

This adds support for DH/ECDH/ECDH-ES via the KeyObject API, and should fix #26626. I also added DH support to generateKeyPair, which is a partial solution to #28404. There are still lots of things I need to figure out, but I would like to see if people are okay with this approach.

(Note that the current API does not support "raw" DH keys, only SPKI/PKCS#8 keys are supported as of now. That will likely change via the previously discussed .params / .fields APIs.)

LGTM in principle, some comments on the WIP.

I can confirm the missing ECDH-ES JWA algorithm support for x25519 and x448 keys is solved with this (closes #26626).

@tniessen would it be possible to split the change to

add the diffieHellman method only (accepting only current 'ec', 'x25519' and 'x448' key objects)
add the dh KeyObject support in a follow up PR?

Reason I ask is i'd like to see 1) backported to lts/erbium and in order to do that It would likely be easier if the change was as simple as possible.

sam-github · 2020-01-03T18:48:47Z

@panva Since either the whole PR, or a subset, are semver-minor, there isn't anything blocking backporting to LTS.

panva · 2020-01-03T18:49:25Z

Great.

bnoordhuis

Overall direction seems okay to me.

Thank you for the initial round of reviews, I'll try to finish up within the next few days.

Overall direction seems okay to me.

I would happily accept alternative directions! This is the best I came up with so far :)

@tniessen I noticed some test excludes in the parallel tests:

[$arch==arm || $arch==arm64]
# https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/31178
test-crypto-dh-stateless: SKIP
test-crypto-keygen: SKIP

Since this PR is closed I'm wondering if they are still needed and/or there is an open issue that should be listed instead of this one as to why they are excluded?

tniessen · 2022-03-17T15:30:38Z

@mhdawson These tests were disabled because they kept timing out. I "temporarily disabled" them more than two years ago, see #31178 (comment) 😄
