mpy-mbedtls

MicroPython bindings for ECDSA keys basic functionality and x509 cert/csr utilities. Supports both PEM and DER formats

Features:

mbedtls module (low level):

Generate ECDSA key pair
Derive public key from private key
Sign data
Verify signature

x509 module:

Generate a certificate signing request (CSR)
Parse certificate
Verify certificate

ecdsa module (Same as mbedtls but OOP):

Generate ECDSA key pair
Derive public key from private key
Parse private/public key file
Sign data
Verify signature
Sign file
Verify file signature
Export private/public key to file

Install

esp32 port:

In micropython/ports/esp32

make a mbedtls dir and copy mpy-mbedtls/mbedtls/mbedtls_config.h into this mbedtls

e.g.

ports/esp32: $ mkdir mbedtls
ports/esp32: $ cp ../../../<path to user modules>/mpy-mbedtls/mbedtls/mbedtls_config.h mbedtls/

then build the firmware with:

ports/esp32: $ make BOARD=GENERIC USER_C_MODULES=../../../../<path to user modules>/mpy-mbedtls/micropython.cmake FROZEN_MANIFEST=<absolute path to user modules>/mpy-mbedtls/ports/esp32/manifest.py -j4

Other ports (e.g. unix):

Needs enabling additional options for mbedtls, see mpy-mbedtls/mbedtls/mbedtls_config.h

In micropython/ports/unix

$ make USER_C_MODULES=../../../<path to user modules>/mpy-mbedtls FROZEN_MANIFEST=../../../<path to user modules>/mpy-mbedtls/ports/unix/manifest.py -j4

Example

import ecdsa

keyp = ecdsa.ECKeyp()

print("PRIVATE KEY:")
print(keyp.pkey.decode())

print("PUBLIC KEY:")
print(keyp.pubkey.decode())

msg = "hello world"

# Sign
signature = keyp.sign(msg)

assert isinstance(signature, bytes)
print("Signature: OK")

# Verify signature

verification = keyp.verify(msg, signature)

assert verification
print("Verification: OK")
