The mbed TLS library has introduced some changes in the API from the 1.3.x to the 2.x releases. Using the 2.x releases requires some changes to the crypto and transport modules. This patch updates both modules to the mbed TLS 2.x API. All references to the mbed TLS library in the code or documentation have been updated to 'mbed TLS'. Old references to PolarSSL have been updated to 'mbed TLS'. User guide updated to use mbed TLS 2.2.0. NOTE: moving up to mbed TLS 2.x from 1.3.x is not backward compatible. Applying this patch will require an mbed TLS 2.x release to be used. Also note that the mbed TLS license changed to Apache version 2.0. Change-Id: Iba4584408653cf153091f2ca2ee23bc9add7fda4

This patch adds the following mbedTLS based libraries: * Cryptographic library It is used by the crypto module to verify a digital signature and a hash. This library relies on mbedTLS to perform the cryptographic operations. mbedTLS sources must be obtained separately. Two key algorithms are currently supported: * RSA-2048 * ECDSA-SECP256R1 The platform is responsible for picking up the required algorithm by defining the 'MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG' variable in the platform makefile. Available options are: * 'rsa' (for RSA-2048) (default option) * 'ecdsa' (for ECDSA-SECP256R1) Hash algorithm currently supported is SHA-256. * Image parser library Used by the image parser module to extract the authentication parameters stored in X509v3 certificates. Change-Id: I597c4be3d29287f2f18b82846973afc142ee0bf0

This patch adds the authentication framework that will be used as the base to implement Trusted Board Boot in the Trusted Firmware. The framework comprises the following modules: - Image Parser Module (IPM) This module is responsible for interpreting images, check their integrity and extract authentication information from them during Trusted Board Boot. The module currently supports three types of images i.e. raw binaries, X509v3 certificates and any type specific to a platform. An image parser library must be registered for each image type (the only exception is the raw image parser, which is included in the main module by default). Each parser library (if used) must export a structure in a specific linker section which contains function pointers to: 1. Initialize the library 2. Check the integrity of the image type supported by the library 3. Extract authentication information from the image - Cryptographic Module (CM) This module is responsible for verifying digital signatures and hashes. It relies on an external cryptographic library to perform the cryptographic operations. To register a cryptographic library, the library must use the REGISTER_CRYPTO_LIB macro, passing function pointers to: 1. Initialize the library 2. Verify a digital signature 3. Verify a hash Failing to register a cryptographic library will generate a build time error. - Authentication Module (AM) This module provides methods to authenticate an image, like hash comparison or digital signatures. It uses the image parser module to extract authentication parameters, the crypto module to perform cryptographic operations and the Chain of Trust to authenticate the images. The Chain of Trust (CoT) is a data structure that defines the dependencies between images and the authentication methods that must be followed to authenticate an image. The Chain of Trust, when added, must provide a header file named cot_def.h with the following definitions: - COT_MAX_VERIFIED_PARAMS Integer value indicating the maximum number of authentication parameters an image can present. This value will be used by the authentication module to allocate the memory required to load the parameters in the image descriptor. Change-Id: Ied11bd5cd410e1df8767a1df23bb720ce7e58178
