* Support NIST curve P256
This change adds support for NIST curve P256. When you use `nebula-cert ca`
or `nebula-cert keygen`, you can specify `-curve P256` to enable it. The
curve to use is based on the curve defined in your CA certificate.
Internally, we use ECDSA P256 to sign certificates, and ECDH P256 to do
Noise handshakes. P256 is not supported natively in Noise Protocol, so
we define `DHP256` in the `noiseutil` package to implement support for
it.
You cannot have a mixed network of Curve25519 and P256 certificates,
since the Noise protocol will only attempt to parse using the Curve
defined in the host's certificate.
* verify the curves match in VerifyPrivateKey
This would have failed anyways once we tried to actually use the bytes
in the private key, but its better to detect the issue up front with
a better error message.
* add cert.Curve argument to Sign method
* fix mismerge
* use crypto/ecdh
This is the preferred method for doing ECDH functions now, and also has
a boringcrypto specific codepath.
* remove other ecdh uses of crypto/elliptic
use crypto/ecdh instead
These new helpers make the code a lot cleaner. I confirmed that the
simple helpers like `atomic.Int64` don't add any extra overhead as they
get inlined by the compiler. `atomic.Pointer` adds an extra method call
as it no longer gets inlined, but we aren't using these on the hot path
so it is probably okay.
This change fixes all of the known data races that `make smoke-docker-race` finds, except for one.
Most of these races are around the handshake phase for a hostinfo, so we add a RWLock to the hostinfo and Lock during each of the handshake stages.
Some of the other races are around consistently using `atomic` around the `messageCounter` field. To make this harder to mess up, I have renamed the field to `atomicMessageCounter` (I also removed the unnecessary extra pointer deference as we can just point directly to the struct field).
The last remaining data race is around reading `ConnectionInfo.ready`, which is a boolean that is only written to once when the handshake has finished. Due to it being in the hot path for packets and the rare case that this could actually be an issue, holding off on fixing that one for now.
here is the results of `make smoke-docker-race`:
before:
lighthouse1: Found 2 data race(s)
host2: Found 36 data race(s)
host3: Found 17 data race(s)
host4: Found 31 data race(s)
after:
host2: Found 1 data race(s)
host4: Found 1 data race(s)
