18 * DOC: Authenticated Encryption With Associated Data (AEAD) Cipher API
20 * The AEAD cipher API is used with the ciphers of type CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AEAD
21 * (listed as type "aead" in /proc/crypto)
23 * The most prominent examples for this type of encryption is GCM and CCM.
24 * However, the kernel supports other types of AEAD ciphers which are defined
25 * with the following cipher string:
27 * authenc(keyed message digest, block cipher)
29 * For example: authenc(hmac(sha256), cbc(aes))
31 * The example code provided for the symmetric key cipher operation applies
32 * here as well. Naturally all *skcipher* symbols must be exchanged the *aead*
33 * pendants discussed in the following. In addition, for the AEAD operation,
34 * the aead_request_set_ad function must be used to set the pointer to the
35 * associated data memory location before performing the encryption or
36 * decryption operation. Another deviation from the asynchronous block cipher
37 * operation is that the caller should explicitly check for -EBADMSG of the
38 * crypto_aead_decrypt. That error indicates an authentication error, i.e.
39 * a breach in the integrity of the message. In essence, that -EBADMSG error
40 * code is the key bonus an AEAD cipher has over "standard" block chaining
45 * The source scatterlist must contain the concatenation of
46 * associated data || plaintext or ciphertext.
48 * The destination scatterlist has the same layout, except that the plaintext
49 * (resp. ciphertext) will grow (resp. shrink) by the authentication tag size
50 * during encryption (resp. decryption). The authentication tag is generated
51 * during the encryption operation and appended to the ciphertext. During
52 * decryption, the authentication tag is consumed along with the ciphertext and
53 * used to verify the integrity of the plaintext and the associated data.
55 * In-place encryption/decryption is enabled by using the same scatterlist
56 * pointer for both the source and destination.
58 * Even in the out-of-place case, space must be reserved in the destination for
59 * the associated data, even though it won't be written to. This makes the
60 * in-place and out-of-place cases more consistent. It is permissible for the
61 * "destination" associated data to alias the "source" associated data.
63 * As with the other scatterlist crypto APIs, zero-length scatterlist elements
64 * are not allowed in the used part of the scatterlist. Thus, if there is no
65 * associated data, the first element must point to the plaintext/ciphertext.
67 * To meet the needs of IPsec, a special quirk applies to rfc4106, rfc4309,
68 * rfc4543, and rfc7539esp ciphers. For these ciphers, the final 'ivsize' bytes
69 * of the associated data buffer must contain a second copy of the IV. This is
70 * in addition to the copy passed to aead_request_set_crypt(). These two IV
71 * copies must not differ; different implementations of the same algorithm may
72 * behave differently in that case. Note that the algorithm might not actually
73 * treat the IV as associated data; nevertheless the length passed to
74 * aead_request_set_ad() must include it.
