Protocols

Mbed TLS

For ESP-IDF v5.0, Mbed TLS has been updated from v2.x to v3.1.0.

The official guide for Mbed TLS to migrate from version 2.x to version 3.0 or greater can be found here.

Breaking Changes (Summary)

Most structure fields are now private

• Direct access to fields of structures (struct types) declared in public headers is no longer supported.

• Appropriate accessor functions (getter/setter) must be used for the same. A temporary workaround would be to use MBEDTLS_PRIVATE macro (not recommended).

• For more details, refer to the official guide here.

SSL

• Removed support for TLS 1.0, 1.1 and DTLS 1.0

• Removed support for SSL 3.0

Deprecated functions were removed from cryptography modules

• The functions mbedtls_*_ret() (related to MD, SHA, RIPEMD, RNG, HMAC modules) was renamed to replace the corresponding functions without _ret appended and updated return value.

• For more details, refer to the official guide here.

Deprecated Config Options

Following are some of the important config options deprecated by this update. The configs related to and/or dependent on these have also been deprecated.

• MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_SSL3 : Support for SSL 3.0

• MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1 : Support for TLS 1.0

• MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_1: Support for TLS 1.1

• MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_DTLS : Support for DTLS 1.1 (Only DTLS 1.2 is supported now)

• MBEDTLS_DES_C : Support for 3DES ciphersuites

• MBEDTLS_RC4_MODE : Support for RC4-based ciphersuites

备注

This list includes only major options configurable through idf.py menuconfig. For more details on deprecated options, refer to the official migration guide.

Miscellaneous

Disabled Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange modes

The Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange modes have now been disabled by default due to security risks (see warning text here). Related configs are given below:

• MBEDTLS_DHM_C : Support for the Diffie-Hellman-Merkle module

• MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_DHE_PSK : Support for Diffie-Hellman PSK (pre-shared-key) TLS authentication modes

• MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_DHE_RSA : Support for cipher suites with the prefix TLS-DHE-RSA-WITH-

备注

During the initial step of the handshake (i.e. client_hello), the server selects a cipher from the list that the client publishes. As the DHE_PSK/DHE_RSA ciphers have now been disabled by the above change, the server would fall back to an alternative cipher; if in a rare case, it does not support any other cipher, the handshake would fail. To retrieve the list of ciphers supported by the server, one must attempt to connect with the server with a specific cipher from the client-side. Few utilities can help do this, e.g. sslscan.

Remove certs module from X509 library

• The mbedtls/certs.h header is no longer available in mbedtls 3.1, most applications can safely remove it from the list of includes.

Breaking change for esp_crt_bundle_set API

• The esp_crt_bundle_set() API now requires one additional argument named bundle_size. The return type of the API has also been changed to esp_err_t from void.

Breaking change for esp_ds_rsa_sign API

• The esp_ds_rsa_sign() API now requires one less argument. The argument mode is no longer required.

HTTPS Server

Breaking Changes (Summary)

Names of variables holding different certs in httpd_ssl_config_t structure have been updated.

• httpd_ssl_config::servercert variable inherits role of cacert_pem variable.

• httpd_ssl_config::servercert_len variable inherits role of cacert_len variable

• httpd_ssl_config::cacert_pem variable inherits role of client_verify_cert_pem variable

• httpd_ssl_config::cacert_len variable inherits role of client_verify_cert_len variable

The return type of the httpd_ssl_stop() API has been changed to esp_err_t from void.

ESP HTTPS OTA

Breaking Changes (Summary)

• The function esp_https_ota() now requires pointer to esp_https_ota_config_t as argument instead of pointer to esp_http_client_config_t.

ESP-TLS

Breaking Changes (Summary)

esp_tls_t structure is now private

The esp_tls_t has now been made completely private. You cannot access its internal structures directly. Any necessary data that needs to be obtained from the esp-tls handle can be done through respective getter/setter functions. If there is a requirement of a specific getter/setter function please raise an issue on ESP-IDF.

The list of newly added getter/setter function is as as follows:

• esp_tls_get_ssl_context() - Obtain the ssl context of the underlying ssl stack from the esp-tls handle.

Function deprecations and recommended alternatives

Following table summarizes the deprecated functions removed and their alternatives to be used from ESP-IDF v5.0 onwards.

Function	Alternative
esp_tls_conn_new()	esp_tls_conn_new_sync()
esp_tls_conn_delete()	esp_tls_conn_destroy()

• The function esp_tls_conn_http_new() has now been termed as deprecated. Please use the alternative function esp_tls_conn_http_new_sync() (or its asynchronous esp_tls_conn_http_new_async()). Note that the alternatives need an additional parameter esp_tls_t which has to be initialized using the esp_tls_init() function.

HTTP Server

Breaking Changes (Summary)

• http_server.h header is no longer available in esp_http_server. Please use esp_http_server.h instead.

ESP HTTP Client

Breaking Changes (Summary)

• The functions esp_http_client_read() and esp_http_client_fetch_headers() now return an additional return value -ESP_ERR_HTTP_EAGAIN for timeout errors - call timed-out before any data was ready.

TCP Transport

Breaking Changes (Summary)

• The function esp_transport_read() now returns 0 for a connection timeout and < 0 for other errors. Please refer esp_tcp_transport_err_t for all possible return values.

MQTT Client

Breaking Changes (Summary)

• esp_mqtt_client_config_t have all fields grouped in sub structs.

Most common configurations are listed below:

• Broker address now is set in esp_mqtt_client_config_t::broker::address::uri

• Security related to broker verification in esp_mqtt_client_config_t::broker::verification

• Client username is set in esp_mqtt_client_config_t::credentials::username
