21 * DOC: Authenticated Encryption With Associated Data (AEAD) Cipher API
23 * The AEAD cipher API is used with the ciphers of type CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AEAD
24 * (listed as type "aead" in /proc/crypto)
26 * The most prominent examples for this type of encryption is GCM and CCM.
27 * However, the kernel supports other types of AEAD ciphers which are defined
28 * with the following cipher string:
30 * authenc(keyed message digest, block cipher)
32 * For example: authenc(hmac(sha256), cbc(aes))
34 * The example code provided for the symmetric key cipher operation
35 * applies here as well. Naturally all *skcipher* symbols must be exchanged
36 * the *aead* pendants discussed in the following. In addition, for the AEAD
37 * operation, the aead_request_set_ad function must be used to set the
38 * pointer to the associated data memory location before performing the
39 * encryption or decryption operation. In case of an encryption, the associated
40 * data memory is filled during the encryption operation. For decryption, the
41 * associated data memory must contain data that is used to verify the integrity
42 * of the decrypted data. Another deviation from the asynchronous block cipher
43 * operation is that the caller should explicitly check for -EBADMSG of the
44 * crypto_aead_decrypt. That error indicates an authentication error, i.e.
45 * a breach in the integrity of the message. In essence, that -EBADMSG error
46 * code is the key bonus an AEAD cipher has over "standard" block chaining
51 * To support the needs of the most prominent user of AEAD ciphers, namely
52 * IPSEC, the AEAD ciphers have a special memory layout the caller must adhere
55 * The scatter list pointing to the input data must contain:
57 * * for RFC4106 ciphers, the concatenation of
58 * associated authentication data || IV || plaintext or ciphertext. Note, the
59 * same IV (buffer) is also set with the aead_request_set_crypt call. Note,
60 * the API call of aead_request_set_ad must provide the length of the AAD and
61 * the IV. The API call of aead_request_set_crypt only points to the size of
62 * the input plaintext or ciphertext.
64 * * for "normal" AEAD ciphers, the concatenation of
65 * associated authentication data || plaintext or ciphertext.
67 * It is important to note that if multiple scatter gather list entries form
68 * the input data mentioned above, the first entry must not point to a NULL
69 * buffer. If there is any potential where the AAD buffer can be NULL, the
70 * calling code must contain a precaution to ensure that this does not result
71 * in the first scatter gather list entry pointing to a NULL buffer.

124 * cryptographic hardware has some special requirements which need to
125 * be handled by software, this function shall check for the precise

477 * Setting the source data and destination data scatter / gather lists which

479 * below for the authentication tag.
481 * For encryption, the source is treated as the plaintext and the
482 * destination is the ciphertext. For a decryption operation, the use is
483 * reversed - the source is the ciphertext and the destination is the plaintext.
485 * For both src/dst the layout is associated data, plain/cipher text,
486 * authentication tag.
488 * The content of the AD in the destination buffer after processing
489 * will either be untouched, or it will contain a copy of the AD
490 * from the source buffer. In order to ensure that it always has
491 * a copy of the AD, the user must copy the AD over either before
492 * or after processing. Of course this is not relevant if the user
493 * is doing in-place processing where src == dst.
495 * IMPORTANT NOTE AEAD requires an authentication tag (MAC). For decryption,
496 * the caller must concatenate the ciphertext followed by the
497 * authentication tag and provide the entire data stream to the
498 * decryption operation (i.e. the data length used for the
499 * initialization of the scatterlist and the data length for the
500 * decryption operation is identical). For encryption, however,
501 * the authentication tag is created while encrypting the data.
502 * The destination buffer must hold sufficient space for the
503 * ciphertext and the authentication tag while the encryption
504 * invocation must only point to the plaintext data size. The
505 * following code snippet illustrates the memory usage
506 * buffer = kmalloc(ptbuflen + (enc ? authsize : 0));
