ECTester is a tool for testing and analysis of elliptic curve cryptography implementations on JavaCards and in cryptographic libraries. It consists of four separate parts:

The ECTester applet, a JavaCard applet that provides the testing interface
The ECTesterReader app, a reader app that works with the applet
The ECTesterStandalone app, which tests software cryptographic libraries
Jupyter notebooks for analysis and visualization of data from the apps

For more information on ECC support on JavaCards see the GitHub page, with results, tables and docs.

This project is developed by the Centre for Research On Cryptography and Security at Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University.

Setup

ECTester uses Gradle (and Gradle wrapper) for its build. There are three parts of ECTester, the JavaCard applet used for testing, the reader app which controls it and the standalone app which tests software libraries. The target platform for ECTester is Linux, but things should work on Windows as well, although testing of standalone libraries will be limited to Java libraries and Microsoft CNG library.

The ECTester parts require different Java versions. Reader and standalone parts require Java >= 15 while the applet build will be able to target different JavaCard versions based on the Java version, see this list.

To build ECTester simply do:

git submodule update --init --recursive       # To initialize submodules (JavaCard SDKs, Microsoft CNG, BoringSSL, ...)
./gradlew :applet:buildJavaCard               # To build the applet (cap) -> "applet/build/javacard/applet[221,222,305].cap".
./gradlew :reader:uberJar                     # To build the reader tool (jar) -> "reader/build/libs/ECTesterReader.jar"
./gradlew :standalone:libs                    # To build the native library shims.
./gradlew :standalone:uberJar                 # To build the standalone tool (jar) -> "standalone/build/libs/ECTesterStandalone.jar"

The applet comes in several flavors, targeting JavaCard 2.2.1, 2.2.2 and 3.0.5. The 2.2.2 and later flavors support extended length APDUs which are necessary for some commands to work properly.

To build the standalone part, which involves numerous cryptographic libraries, one has two options.

Install these cryptographic libraries system-wide and let the build use those.
Use Nix to build the tool part with given library versions.

See the section on setup of standalone library testing for more details.

JavaCard testing

The JavaCard part of ECTester targets testing elliptic curve cryptography implementations in programmable smart cards of the JavaCard platform, version 2.2.1 and up. The reader app supports many actions, the main one being testing: the running of predetermined test suites that test the JavaCard for support, performance and vulnerabilities. The other actions focus on data collection, generating keys, signing data, performing key agreement or exporting the preset curves, output of the mentioned actions can then be analyzed using the Jupyter notebooks, see analysis.

Upload applet/build/applet/ectester[221,222,305].cap using your favorite tool (e.g., GlobalPlatformPro tool).
Run java -jar reader/build/libs/ECTesterReader.jar -t or other data collection commands.
Inspect output log with annotated results.

Following operations are tested in the default test suite, which is just a basic support test suite:

Allocation of new KeyPair class for specified parameters
Generation of KeyPair with default curve
Setting of custom curve and KeyPair generation
Generation of shared secret via ECDH
Signature via ECDSA

See java -jar ECTesterReader.jar -h, java -jar ECTesterReader.jar -ls and TESTS for more.

Actions

Actions for the reader app, exactly one of which is required for every run.

Test

-t / --test [test_suite]

Perform support, performance and vulnerability tests of ECC.

Currently supported test suites include:

default
test-vectors
compression
miscellaneous
signature
wrong*
invalid*
twist*
degenerate*
composite*
cofactor*
edge-cases*

*NOTE: The wrong, composite, invalid,twist, cofactor, edge-cases and degenerate test suites caused temporary/permanent DoS of some cards. These test suites prompt you for confirmation before running, be cautious.

To select which tests will be performed, it is possible to enter the test suite name with a suffix which specifies the number of the first test to be run, and optionally the number of the last test to be run as -t <test_suite>[:start_index[:stop_index]].

Use with -o / --output [out_type:]<out_file> to output the test results to a file. For possible formats of this file see FORMAT. For more info about the test suites see TESTS.

Export

-e / --export

Exports the default curves (if any) that are preset on the card. Use with -o / --output [out_file] to output the curve parameters to a file. For format of this file see FORMAT.

Generate

-g / --generate [amount]

Generates batch of EC keypairs and exports them.

Use with -o / --output [out_file] to output the generated keys to a file. Use with --time to measure time as a difference of real duration of the operation and the dry-run duration of the operation. For format of this file see FORMAT.

ECDH

-dh / --ecdh [count]

Performs ECDH.

Use with -o / --output [out_file] to output into a file. Use with --time to measure time as a difference of real duration of the operation and the dry-run duration of the operation. For format of this file see FORMAT. Respects the KeyAgreement type specified in -ka / --ka-type [type].

ECDSA

-dsa / --ecdsa [count]

Performs ECDSA. Useful with -i / --input [in_file] to sign the contents of a file. Use with -o / --output [out_file] to output into a file. Use with --time to measure time as a difference of real duration of the operation and the dry-run duration of the operation. For format of these files see FORMAT. Respects the Signature type specified in -sig / --sig-type [type].

List named curves

-ln / --list-named [category/name]

Lists categories of curves, keys and keypairs embedded in ECTester's jar, along with some information about them. These can be used as arguments to the -n[c|k|pub|priv] / --named-[curve|key|public|private] parameters, using the format: category/name.

For example: secg/secp192r1 identifies the SECG 192 bit prime field curve known as secp192r1.

For more info about the curves and curve categories see CURVES.

List test suites

-ls / --list-suites

Lists the implemented test suites and gives their short description.

Get applet info

-nf / --info

Get and print ECTester applet info from an applet installed on a card.

Outputs:

Card ATR
Negotiated protocol (T=0/T=1)
ECTester applet version
ECTester APDU support (basic/extended APDU)
JavaCard API version
JavaCard cleanup support
ECTester internal array sizes and APDU buffer size

Examples

Snippet below shows running the default test suite while simulating(-s), so using JCardSim. This shows that JCardsim simulates 112b Fp support with default curve present and supports ECDH, ECDHC and ECDSA.

Legend

Some general information about the test suite and card is output first, test data follows after.
The OK/NOK values on the left represent the complete evaluated result of a test, as a test can be expected to succeed or fail, this is different than the values on the right:
- SUCCESS: Is OK, the test was expected to pass and it did.
- FAILURE: Is NOK, the test was expected to pass, but it did not.
- UXSUCCESS: Is NOK, the test was expected to fail, but it did not.
- XFAILURE: Is OK, the test was expected to fail, and it did.
- ERROR: Is NOK an unexpected error during testing arose.
The tests can be compounded into compound tests, which are visible as a tree of tests and sub-tests.
The duration of non-compound tests is shown in the third column, this is a rough estimate, measured from before the APDU is sent, to just after the response is received.
The cause of the test result, is shown in the last column, for non-compound tests, these are JavaCard(or custom) status words, from operations done on the card.

Snippet below shows collection of 1000 of ECDSA signatures (--ecdsa) over a prime field (-fp) 160 bit (-b) curve, which will be the secp160r1 curve, because of the -u switch, which selects one of the SECG curves for the bit-length. The applet signes randomly generated but static data using a fixed key (--fixed). Timing data is collected and output in nanoseconds (--time-unit) and output into out.csv.

Standalone library testing

The standalone part of ECTester targets testing elliptic curve cryptography implementations in Java and native cryptographic libraries.

Currently supported libraries include:

BouncyCastle (Java)
Sun EC (Java)
OpenSSL
BoringSSL
wolfSSL
Crypto++
libtomcrypt
libgcrypt
Botan
Microsoft CNG
Intel Performance Primitives Crypto
MbedTLS
Nettle
LibreSSL

For more information on ECC libraries see LIBS.

Setup

ECTester interfaces with native libraries by using custom shim libraries that expose the functionality via the Java Native Interface, these can be found in the standalone/src/main/java/cz/crcs/ectester/standalone/libs/jni directory along with a Makefile (Makefile.bat for Windows). The shim library will depend on the native library, and have a name like boringssl_provider.so, botan_provider.so, cryptopp_provider.so and openssl_provider.so. The Makefile has a target for every library that it supports that builds its shim, see the help target for more info.

However, building these shims and in general the target libraries can be tricky to do so reliably across systems and setups. Thus ECTester offers two ways of doing so.

The first way is to install the libraries system-wide and rely on pkg-config to find proper configuration for the shims and link them dynamically.
The second way is to use Nix to build the given versions of the libraries and shims and link them statically.

Nix

Install Nix, then to build:

# To build a library in a given version run (example OpenSSL 3.3.1):
nix build "#lib.openssl.v331"
# To build a shim using a given version of a library (example mbedTLS 3.5):
nix build "#shim.mbedtls.v35"
# To build ECTesterStandalone.jar with a given version of a library (example libgcrypt 1.9.4):
nix build "?submodules=1#gcrypt.v194"

# The available versions of the libraries are in the nix/*_pkg_versions.json files.
# The "default" version always points to the most recent version.
# To build ECTesterStandalone with all the libraries in default versions:
nix build "?submodules=1#"

Each of the build steps above puts (symlinks really) its results into ./result directory. However, subsequent builds then replace that with their own results. To run ECTesterStandalone with a given library version and arguments do:

# This runs the default test-suite agains LibreSSL 3.9.2
nix run "?submodules=1#libressl.v392" --- test default LibreSSL

Gradle

./gradlew :standalone:libs                    # To build the native library shims.
./gradlew :standalone:uberJar                 # To build the standalone tool (jar) -> "standalone/build/libs/ECTesterStandalone.jar"

Simply doing the above should build everything necessary to test libraries via the standalone app, (except the BoringSSL, LibreSSL, ipp-crypto, mbedTLS, and wolfCrypt libraries) the sections below describe the details of how that works and what needs to be done if it doesn't.

To see whether your build was successful, run: java -jar standalone/build/libs/ECTesterStandalone.jar list-libs and observe if your target libraries are included in the output. If they are not, and they are native libraries, it means that either the shim library was not built successfully or that the actual native library couldn't be found and loaded on runtime. To solve the former, look for build errors during the ant run in the libs-try step, for the latter, if the library is in an non-standard location specifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH will help load it. Consulting the next sections should help solve both.

The :standalone:libs task invokes the Makefile, which tries to build the C/C++ shim libraries required for ECTester to test the actual native cryptographic libraries from Java. The Makefile uses pkg-config to locate the libraries installed, thus if non-standard location of the tested libraries is used, the Makefile or your pkg-config needs some changes to work.

There are two important environmental variables that should be set in your environment. First, you should set JAVA_HOME which should point to your JDK. The tooling uses JAVA_HOME to locate native Java library headers, like jni.h. Second, ECTester uses pkg-config to locate the native libraries, if your pkg-config files are in an unusual place the pkg-config command would not find them by default, you should set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the directory containing the *.pc files. If pkg-config files are unavailable for the library you are trying to test, you will need to change the Makefile manually to apply the correct options to the commands (CFLAGS, include options, linker options...).

Below you can see how a full build with all the libraries currently supported on Linux looks

BoringSSL, LibreSSL, ipp-crypto, mbedTLS and partially wolfCrypt are included as git submodules. Make sure you run: git submodule update --init --recursive after checking out the ECTester repository to initialize them.

To build BoringSSL do:

cd ext/boringssl
cmake -GNinja -Bbuild -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1
cd build
ninja

To build LibreSSL do:

cd ext/libressl
./autogen.sh
cmake -GNinja -Bbuild -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1
cd build
ninja

To build ipp-crypto do: (Make sure you have the necessary build requirements)

cd ext/ipp-crypto
CC=clang CXX=clang++ cmake CMakeLists.txt -GNinja -Bbuild -DARCH=intel64  # Does not work with GCC 12+
cd build
ninja

To build mbedTLS do:

cd ext/mbedtls
python -m venv virt
. virt/bin/activate
pip install -r scripts/basic.requirements.txt
cmake -GNinja -Bbuild -DUSE_SHARED_MBEDTLS_LIBRARY=On
cd build
ninja

To build wolfCrypt-JNI do: (You need to have wolfSSL installed and ready for development)

cd ext/wolfcrypt-jni
mkdir junit
wget -P junit/ https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/junit/junit/4.13.2/junit-4.13.2.jar 
wget -P junit/ https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/hamcrest/hamcrest-all/1.3/hamcrest-all-1.3.jar
make -f makefile.linux
env JUNIT_HOME=junit/ ant build-jce-release

The produced lib/wolfcrypt-jni.jar will be automatically included into the standalone JAR when building standalone:uberJar. However, the produced lib/libwolfcryptjni.so native library will not be automatically loaded. You thus need to include it on LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Consult the GitHub CI build script for an example that runs on Ubuntu 22.04.

It is recommended to disable CPU frequency scaling of your processor before performing collection of timing data, as it adds significant noise to the data as it kicks in. Also, running the collection on very high priority and locked to a single core (taskset -c 0) helps as well.

Analysis

ECTester contains a few Jupyter notebooks that perform timing analysis on data generated by either the ECTester reader app or the standalone app. These notebooks currently operate on data from the ECDSA, ECDH or key generation commands.

Requirements

matplotlib
numpy
scipy
Jupyter
asn1crypto

Examples

ECDSA timing analysis

To analyze ECDSA data, use the plot_dsa.ipynb notebook. Enter the options in the second cell, including filename, curve, desired time units and then simply run the following cells to obtain heatmaps of the timing data of ECDSA like those displayed below.

This heatmap above is a heatmap of the most significant byte of ECDSA random nonces and the signature time, one can see that there is a clear dependency between certain most significant bits of the nonce and signature time. This is due to the scalar multiplication leaking via timing and was the issue behind CVE-2019-14318 in Crypto++.

This heatmap shows a non leaking implementation that is constant time and does not leak any information (via timing) about the secret scalar in scalar multiplication.
