2adda9c12c nts: construct key exporter context
When the NTS client and server negotiated use of AES-128-GCM-SIV keys,
the keys exported from the TLS session and used for authentication and
encryption of NTP messages do not comply to RFC8915. The exporter
context value specified in the section 5.1 of RFC8915 function is
incorrect. It is a hardcoded string which contains 15 (AES-SIV-CMAC-256)
instead of 30 (AES-128-GCM-SIV). This causes chrony to not interoperate
with NTS implementations that follow RFC8915 correctly. (At this time,
there doesn't seem to be another implementation with AES-128-GCM-SIV
support yet.)

Replace the string with a proper construction of the exporter context
from a specified AEAD ID and next protocol.

Keep using the incorrect AEAD ID for AES-128-GCM-SIV to not break
compatibility with existing chrony servers and clients. A new NTS-KE
record will be added to negotiate the compliant exporter context.

81bf7cdcdc nts: initialize unused part of server key
Initialize the unused part of shorter server NTS keys (AES-128-GCM-SIV)
loaded from ntsdumpdir to avoid sending uninitialized data in requests
to the NTS-KE helper process.

Do that also for newly generated keys in case the memory will be
allocated dynamically.

790a336eb2 nts: add server support for authentication with AES-128-GCM-SIV
Keep a server SIV instance for each available algorithm.

Select AES-128-GCM-SIV if requested by NTS-KE client as the first
supported algorithm.

Instead of encoding the AEAD ID in the cookie, select the algorithm
according to the length of decrypted keys. (This can work as a long as
all supported algorithms use keys with different lengths.)

72bf3d26eb nts: fix error response to NTS-KE request
When the request has an unrecognized critical record before the
NEXT_PROTOCOL and AEAD_ALGORITHM records, respond with error 0
(unrecognized critical record) instead of 1 (bad request).

When the request has multiple NEXT_PROTOCOL or AEAD_ALGORITHM records,
respond with error 1 (bad request).

8db9d59dac nts: rename ntscachedir directive to ntsdumpdir
This makes the naming consistent with the existing dumpdir directive and
the dump command.

adcf073484 nts: refactor NTS context
Add a context structure for the algorithm and keys established by
NTS-KE. Modify the client to save the context and reset the SIV key to
the C2S/S2C key before each request/response instead of keeping two SIV
instances.

This will make it easier for the server to support different algorithms
and allow the client to save the context with cookies to disk.

7b07e47c08 nts: fix address in server NTS-KE log messages
The server session instances are reused for different clients. Separate
the server name from the label used in log messages and set it on each
start of the session.
