It gave us a better performance of RSA operations. (2~11 times)
The old modexp implementation (Z = X ^ Y mod M) loaded all the data into
the hw registers and was waiting for completion, but due to
the hardware RSA implementation, the calculations always started with 4096 bit,
which took a lot of time.
Measurement results (measurements were made for keys: 2048, 3072 and 4096 bits)
(Old) - Sliding-window exponentiation (HAC 14.85):
keysize = 2048 bits
RSA key operation (performance): public [93206 us], private [280189 us]
keysize = 3072 bits
RSA key operation (performance): public [293614 us], private [858157 us]
keysize = 4096 bits
RSA key operation (performance): public [653192 us], private [1912126 us]
Instead (Old) - Sliding-window exponentiation (HAC 14.85) was implemented
(New) - Montgomery exponentiation (HAC 14.94) which showed
better performance on private and public keys.
keysize = 2048 bits
RSA key operation (performance): public [14504 us], private [149456 us]
keysize = 3072 bits
RSA key operation (performance): public [35073 us], private [392743 us]
keysize = 4096 bits
RSA key operation (performance): public [58650 us], private [787186 us]
For this reason, the old implementation was removed
and the MBEDTLS_HARDWARE_MPI option was turned on by default.
Why the MPI_INTERRUPT option is removed:
the old implementation used calculations on the hardware and
it took a lot of time (10ms - 500ms). And in order not to stand idle
while waiting for completion, an interrupt option was added.
This made it possible to carry out other tasks during the calculation,
and this one to block. The new method is free from such a drawback and
the maximum duration of one RSA HW operation does not exceed 70us (usually 2-70 μs).
This option is no longer needed.
Closes: IDF-965
- Additional menuconfig option to select either mbedTLS or Tinycrypt from NimBLE.
- Addition of `CMAC` and `ECP_RESTARTABLE` to mbedTLS menuconfig option and
`esp_config.h`.
- Changes NimBLE `component.mk` and `CMakeLists.txt` to support mbedTLS option.
- Minor changes to `app_mesh.c` application.
* Disables 3DES, Camellia, Blowfish, RC4, RIPEMD160, SSLv3, TLS-PSK modes, DTLS by default
* Saves about 40KB from the default TLS client code size
* Defaults no longer get "Bad" howsmyssl.com rating (no more vulnerable 3DES)
(ping https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/575 )
* Allows up to another 20-30KB code size to be trimmed without security
implications if using DER formatted certificates, RSA ciphersuites only,
etc.
* Can save up to another 8KB by setting the TLS Role to Server or Client only.
Add dynamic interrupt allocation mechanism
This adds:
- Dynamic allocation of interrupts. Pass it the features of the interrupt you want, it'll set you up with an int.
- Shared interrupts. Enables multiple peripheral drivers to use the same interrupt.
- Marking what interrupts are fully executable from IRAM; if an int isn't marked like that it will get disabled once flash cache gets disabled.
Also:
- Modifies driver to be in line with these changes

SHA hardware allows each of SHA1, SHA256, SHA384&SHA512 to calculate digests
concurrently.
Currently incompatible with AES acceleration due to a hardware reset problem.
