Status at a glance:

Scalar Crypto Specification:

Lightweight instruction set extensions for RV32 and RV64 HARTs.  Proposed extensions:

  • Extensions fully defined in the Scalar Crypto Specification:  Zk, Zkn, Zks, Zkr, Zkne, Zknd, Zknh, Zksed, Zksh, Zkt
  • Shared with the Bit-Manipulation Specification: Zbkx, Zbkc, Zbkb
  • Instruction Group Names Diagram

Specification

  • Latest Draft Scalar Crypto Specification (v0.9.1)
  • Stable in asciidoc form now.
  • Some consistency review feedback which will be applied in subsequent functional releases:
    • aes32* and sm4* encodings will change to remove the `rt` field.
    • Change aes64ks1i "rcon" immediate to "rnum".
    • Remove packu[w] since they aren't needed for our usecase of packing bytes into words. We can use other pack instructions.
    • Break Zbk into smaller units: (Zbkc: clmul*, Zbkx: xperm.*, Zbkb: everything else)
    • Entropy source changes, including configurable access to the entropy source from S mode.

Encoding/OpCode consistency review

  • Opcodes and encodings proposed
  • Instruction extensions (instruction groupings) proposed
  • Submitted to review task group
  • The Bit-Manipulation shared subsets are being reviewed first as part of Bit-Manipulation specification review
    • Proposed as Zkg (clmul) and Zkb (specific crypto-required bit-manipulation commands)
  • The Proposed Scalar Crypto-unique subsets are next in line for review:
    • K (Krypto): 
      • Zkn (full NIST Suite):  ZKne (NIST encrypt suite), ZKnd (NIST decrypt suite), ZKnh (NIST hash suite), Zkg, Zkb (see above)
      • Zkr (random entropy source)
    • Zks (full ShangMi Suite):  Zksed (SM4 encrypt/decrypt suite), Zksh (SM3 hash suite), Zkg, Zkb (see above)
  • OpCode and Consistency Review page
  • What's next:  Respond to OpCode and Consistency Review comments, once available, and achieve consensus on any changes.
  • (warning)We need to discuss the aes32* and sm4* rt encodings.
  • Comments from others and Andrew particularly suggest that having distinct rd/rs1/rs2 is acceptable and that we over-estimated the importance of minimising encoding cost.
    • We will likely be reverting to the original form of these instructions, with separate rd/rs1/rs2 before public review. (click thumbnail for full-size image)

Architecture & Opcode consistency review

  • The results of the review can be seen here. Scalar Crypto Arch Review Results.pdf
  • After discussion within the task group, the following changes will be made to the spec, with the changes expected to land in 0.9.4 before the end of August.
    • Stop overlapping the aes32 and aes64 opcodes. See riscv/riscv-opcodes#77
    • Clarify the effect of misa.k
    • Some updates to the entropy source and zkt detailed here.
    • Miscellaneous editorial issues.
  • Some downstream tasks for our group development partners now we are in public review.

Architecture Tests

  • Test plan for the scalar-crypto specific instructions is available.
  • Imperas have a complete set of tests, written to the existing test plan, for the scalar crypto instructions and the bitmanip instructions we borrow.
    • These have been merged into the main test suite as of PR#177, with many thanks to Imperas for the contribution.
      • Spike, OVPSim and Sail all agree on the test signatures.
    • They form a base we can use to develop prototype implementations / Spike / SAIL / QEMU very easily and quickly.
  • Upstream Spike support for enabling it to work with the K test suite is being added in PR#687.
  • IIT Madras are also looking at writing the scalar crypto tests for integration into the official architectural tests repo as well.
    • Agreed SoW for IITM
    • They are re-implementing the tests as part of the blessed coverage and test generation tooling.
      • Making good progress with the simple test patterns for scalar-crypto specific instructions A/O April 7'th '21
    • We then switch over to using the IIT tests when they are finished, since they will be easier to maintain/extend going forward than the Imperas tests.
  • YAML config changes for K have been merged in. See here.
  • Update from IIT Madras as on 25-Oct
  • Status from IIT Madras as on 17-Jun:
    • All test cases and coverage reports has been generated and presented.
    • If there are any changes in future on these that is required in future, IIT Madras will enhance the scripts as per requirements.
  • Status from IIT Madras as on 20-May:
    • Real world test cases as per the test plan has been generated.
    • Currently waiting for the fixed toolchain with K extension from PLCT to test the generated test cases. All the test cases are working fine when we run against the patched toolchain
    • A PR has been raised with a pull request for this suite to be reviewed and merged in the riscv-arch tests github repo.
  • Status from IIT Madras as on 12-May:
    • Coverage report for all developed cases in CTG/ISAC has been generated and it is reported as 100%
    • Currently real world test cases are being developed as per test plan and will be completed and send for review by beginning of next week
  • Status from IIT Madras as on 05-May:
    • Resolved issues in running the rv64ik toolchain after interacting with PLCT and compile the relevant tests generated from CTG and run them on spike
    • Currently resolving issues in the running the rv64ibk toolchain. Once this is done, will generate the coverage report of the test cases built till now and share with team.
  • Status from IIT Madras as on 26-Apr:
    • Completed the coverage points specification for all 32-bit and 64-bit instructions
    • Generated test cases from the coverage points
    • Currently working on trying to install the scalar crypto enabled toolchain.

LLVM

  • Work will be done by PLTC PLCT lab under the group contributor model.
  • Slides from PLCT Update Weds 10'th Feb
  • As of 21'st April '21, LLVM work is mostly complete, waiting on PLCT lab for an update about merging things upstream.
    • Some small changes will be needed as we move to v1.0 of scalar crypto around encodings.
  • As of 24'st Jan '22, LLVM upstream is able to compile the assembly code of Zk* and Zbk*

Simulators

Though all listed under "simulators", these are actually a collection of formal model / virtual machine / architectural simulators / DV simulators etc.

...

  • Currently working on getting support merged in upstream in PR#80 PR#99
    • Support for all scalar-crypto dedicated instructions is present.Support for and the entropy source is still the main point of discussionpresent.
    • No support for Bitmanip . The Bitmanip TG is waiting until after the opcode and consistency review to start writing SAIL code.
    • (warning) This PR is "paused" until the next release of the scalar crypto spec, which will bring some functional changes to the `aes32*` and `sm4*` instructions.
    • yet.

Spike

  • Upstream support has been merged in as of PR#635
  • Support for all of scalar crypto specific instructions and entropy source.
  • The only feature left is to enable the right Bitmanip instructions when K is enabled. Currently, one must include "b" in the spike "–isa=" argument.
    • PR#649 has now been merged. Support now consistent with v0.9.0..
  • Instructions are up to date with v1.0.0
