1# Project Wycheproof
2https://github.com/google/wycheproof
3
4*Project Wycheproof is named after
5[Mount Wycheproof](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Wycheproof), the smallest
6mountain in the world. The main motivation for the project is to have a goal
7that is achievable. The smaller the mountain the more likely it is to be able to
8climb it.*

12## Introduction
13
14Project Wycheproof tests crypto libraries against known attacks. It is developed
15and maintained by members of Google Security Team, but it is not an official
16Google product.
17
18At Google, we rely on many third party cryptographic software libraries.
19Unfortunately, in cryptography, subtle mistakes can have catastrophic
20consequences, and we found that libraries fall into such implementation
21pitfalls much too often and for much too long. Good implementation guidelines,
22however, are hard to come by: understanding how to implement cryptography
23securely requires digesting decades' worth of academic literature. We recognize
24that software engineers fix and prevent bugs with unit testing, and we found
25that cryptographic loopholes can be resolved by the same means.
26
27These observations have prompted us to develop Project Wycheproof, a collection
28of unit tests that detect known weaknesses or check for expected behaviors of
29some cryptographic algorithm. Project Wycheproof provides tests for most
30cryptographic algorithms, including RSA, elliptic curve crypto and
31authenticated encryption. Our cryptographers have systematically surveyed the
32literature and implemented most known attacks. We have over 80 test cases which
33have uncovered more than [40 bugs](doc/bugs.md). For
34example, we found that we could recover the private key of widely-used DSA and
35ECDHC implementations.
36
37While we are committed to develop as many attacks as possible, Project
38Wycheproof is by no means complete. Passing the tests does not imply that the
39library is secure, it just means that it is not vulnerable to the attacks that
40Project Wycheproof tests for. Cryptographers are also constantly discovering
41new attacks. Nevertheless, with Project Wycheproof developers and users now can
42check their libraries against a large number of known attacks, without having
43to spend years reading academic papers or become cryptographers themselves.
44

48### Coverage
49
50Project Wycheproof has tests for the most popular crypto algorithms, including
51
52- AES-EAX
53- AES-GCM
54- [DH](doc/dh.md)
55- DHIES
56- [DSA](doc/dsa.md)
57- [ECDH](doc/ecdh.md)
58- ECDSA
59- ECIES
60- [RSA](doc/rsa.md)
61
62The tests detect whether a library is vulnerable to many attacks, including
63
64- Invalid curve attacks
65- Biased nonces in digital signature schemes
66- Of course, all Bleichenbacher’s attacks
67- And many more -- we have over 80 test cases
68
69Our first set of tests are written in Java, because Java has a common
70cryptographic interface. This allowed us to test multiple providers with a
71single test suite. While this interface is somewhat low level, and should not
72be used directly, we still apply a "defense in depth" argument and expect that
73the implementations are as robust as possible. For example, we consider weak
74default values to be a significant security flaw. We are converting as many
75tests into sets of test vectors to simplify porting the tests to other
76languages. We provide ready-to-use test runners for Java Cryptography
77Architecture providers such as [Bouncy Castle](http://bouncycastle.org),
78[Spongy Castle](https://rtyley.github.io/spongycastle/), and the default
79providers in [OpenJDK](http://openjdk.java.net/).
80
81### Usage
82
83-   Install [Bazel](https://bazel.build/).
84
85-   Install [Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction
86    Policy
87    Files](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6481627/java-security-illegal-key-size-or-default-parameters):
88    this enables tests with large key sizes. Otherwise you'll see a lot of
89    "illegal key size" exceptions.
90
91-   Check out the tests
92
93```
94git clone https://github.com/google/wycheproof.git
95```
96
97- To test latest stable version of Bouncy Castle:
98
99```
100bazel test BouncyCastleAllTests
101```
102
103- To test other versions, e.g., v1.52:
104
105```
106bazel test BouncyCastleAllTests_1_52
107```
108
109- To test all known versions (warning, will take a long time):
110
111```
112bazel test BouncyCastleAllTests_*
113```
114
115-   To test a local jar, set the `WYCHEPROOF_BOUNCYCASTLE_JAR` environment
116    variable:
117
118```shell
119$ WYCHEPROOF_BOUNCYCASTLE_JAR=/path/to/bouncycastle
120$ bazel test BouncyCastleTestLocal
121$ bazel test BouncyCastleAllTestsLocal
122```
123
124Note: bazel does not currently invalidate the build on environment changes. If
125you change the `WYCHEPROOF_BOUNCYCASTLE_JAR` environment variable, run `bazel
126clean` to force a rebuild:
127
128```shell
129$ WYCHEPROOF_BOUNCYCASTLE_JAR=/path/to/bouncycastle
130$ bazel test BouncyCastleTestLocal
131$ WYCHEPROOF_BOUNCYCASTLE_JAR=/path/to/other/jar
132$ bazel clean
133$ bazel test BouncyCastleTestLocal
134```
135
136- To test [Spongy Castle](https://rtyley.github.io/spongycastle/), replace
137BouncyCastle with SpongyCastle in your commands, for example
138
139```
140bazel test SpongyCastleAllTests
141```
142
143- To test your current installation of
144[OpenJDK](http://openjdk.java.net/):
145
146```
147bazel test OpenJDKAllTests
148```
149
150Note that OpenJDKAllTests expects that OpenJDK is your default JDK, so it might
151refuse to run or its results might be incorrect if you are using some other JDK.
152If you downloaded your JDK from Oracle or https://java.com, you're probably
153using Oracle JDK, which should be compatible with OpenJDK, thus the tests should
154run correctly.
155
156Some tests take a very long time to finish. If you want to exclude them, use
157BouncyCastleTest, SpongyCastleTest or OpenJDKTest -- these targets exclude all
158slow tests (which are annotated with @SlowTest).
159
160Most test targets are failing, and each failure might be a security issue. To
161learn more about what a failed test means, you might want to check out [our
162documentation](doc/bugs.md) or the comments on top of the corresponding test
163function and test class.
