This is already slightly nice because it lets me separate the
Weierstrass and Montgomery code more completely, without having to
have a vtable tucked into dh->extra. But more to the point, it will
allow completely different kex methods to fit into the same framework
later.
To that end, I've moved more of the descriptive message generation
into the vtable, and also provided the constructor with a flag that
will let it do different things in client and server.
Also, following on from a previous commit, I've arranged that the new
API returns arbitrary binary data for the exchange hash, rather than
an mp_int. An upcoming implementation of this interface will want to
return an encoded string instead of an encoded mp_int.
Correcting a source file name in the docs just now reminded me that
I've seen a lot of outdated source file names elsewhere in the code,
due to all the reorganisation since we moved to cmake. Here's a giant
pass of trying to make them all accurate again.
marshal.h now provides a macro put_fmt() which allows you to write
arbitrary printf-formatted data to an arbitrary BinarySink.
We already had this facility for strbufs in particular, in the form of
strbuf_catf(). That was able to take advantage of knowing the inner
structure of a strbuf to minimise memory allocation (it would snprintf
directly into the strbuf's existing buffer if possible). For a general
black-box BinarySink we can't do that, so instead we dupvprintf into a
temporary buffer.
For consistency, I've removed strbuf_catf, and converted all uses of
it into the new put_fmt - and I've also added an extra vtable method
in the BinarySink API, so that put_fmt can still use strbuf_catf's
more efficient memory management when talking to a strbuf, and fall
back to the simpler strategy when that's not available.
This code base has always been a bit confused about which spelling it
likes to use to refer to that signature algorithm. The SSH protocol id
is "ssh-dss". But everyone I know refers to it as the Digital
Signature _Algorithm_, not the Digital Signature _Standard_.
When I moved everything down into the crypto subdir, I took the
opportunity to rename sshdss.c to dsa.c. Now I'm doing the rest of the
job: all internal identifiers and code comments refer to DSA, and the
spelling "dss" only survives in externally visible identifiers that
have to remain constant.
(Such identifiers include the SSH protocol id, and also the string id
used to identify the key type in PuTTY's own host key cache. We can't
change the latter without causing everyone a backwards-compatibility
headache, and if we _did_ ever decide to do that, we'd surely want to
do a much more thorough job of making the cache format more sensible!)
Similarly to 'utils', I've moved all the stuff in the crypto
build-time library into a source directory of its own, and while I'm
at it, split up the monolithic sshauxcrypt.c into its various
unrelated parts.
This is also an opportunity to remove the annoying 'ssh' prefix from
the front of the file names, and give several of them less cryptic
names.
