All new crypto interfaces should go into individual files as much
as possible in order to ensure that crypto.h does not collapse under
its own weight.This patch moves the ahash code into crypto/hash.h and crypto/internal/hash.h
respectively.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
The base field in ahash_tfm appears to have been cut-n-pasted from
ablkcipher. It isn't needed here at all. Similarly, the info field
in ahash_request also appears to have originated from its cipher
counter-part and is vestigial.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

Thanks to David Miller for pointing out that the SLAB (or SLOB/SLUB)
cache uses the alignment of unsigned long long if the architecture
kmalloc/slab alignment macros are not defined.This patch changes the CRYPTO_MINALIGN so that it uses the same default
value.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch makes crypto_alloc_aead always return algorithms that is
capable of generating their own IVs through givencrypt and givdecrypt.
All existing AEAD algorithms already do. New ones must either supply
their own or specify a generic IV generator with the geniv field.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
This patch creates the infrastructure to help the construction of IV
generator templates that wrap around AEAD algorithms by adding an IV
generator to them. This is useful for AEAD algorithms with no built-in
IV generator or to replace their built-in generator.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
This patch adds the underlying givcrypt operations for aead and associated
support elements. The rationale is identical to that of the skcipher
givcrypt operations, i.e., sometimes only the algorithm knows how the
IV should be generated.A new request type aead_givcrypt_request is added which contains an
embedded aead_request structure with two new elements to support this
operation. The new elements are seq and giv. The seq field should
contain a strictly increasing 64-bit integer which may be used by
certain IV generators as an input value. The giv field will be used
to store the generated IV. It does not need to obey the alignment
requirements of the algorithm because it's not used during the operation.The existing iv field must still be available as it will be used to store
intermediate IVs and the output IV if chaining is desired.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
This patch makes crypto_alloc_ablkcipher/crypto_grab_skcipher always
return algorithms that are capable of generating their own IVs through
givencrypt and givdecrypt. Each algorithm may specify its default IV
generator through the geniv field.For algorithms that do not set the geniv field, the blkcipher layer will
pick a default. Currently it's chainiv for synchronous algorithms and
eseqiv for asynchronous algorithms. Note that if these wrappers do not
work on an algorithm then that algorithm must specify its own geniv or
it can't be used at all.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch creates the infrastructure to help the construction of givcipher
templates that wrap around existing blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithms by adding
an IV generator to them.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
This patch introduces the geniv field which indicates the default IV
generator for each algorithm. It should point to a string that is not
freed as long as the algorithm is registered.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
Different block cipher modes have different requirements for intialisation
vectors. For example, CBC can use a simple randomly generated IV while
modes such as CTR must use an IV generation mechanisms that give a stronger
guarantee on the lack of collisions. Furthermore, disk encryption modes
have their own IV generation algorithms.Up until now IV generation has been left to the users of the symmetric
key cipher API. This is inconvenient as the number of block cipher modes
increase because the user needs to be aware of which mode is supposed to
be paired with which IV generation algorithm.Therefore it makes sense to integrate the IV generation into the crypto
API. This patch takes the first step in that direction by creating two
new ablkcipher operations, givencrypt and givdecrypt that generates an
IV before performing the actual encryption or decryption.The operations are currently not exposed to the user. That will be done
once the underlying functionality has actually been implemented.It also creates the underlying givcipher type. Algorithms that directly
generate IVs would use it instead of ablkcipher. All other algorithms
(including all existing ones) would generate a givcipher algorithm upon
registration. This givcipher algorithm will be constructed from the geniv
string that's stored in every algorithm. That string will locate a template
which is instantiated by the blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithm in question to
give a givcipher algorithm.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

Note: From now on the collective of ablkcipher/blkcipher/givcipher will
be known as skcipher, i.e., symmetric key cipher. The name blkcipher has
always been much of a misnomer since it supports stream ciphers too.This patch adds the function crypto_grab_skcipher as a new way of getting
an ablkcipher spawn. The problem is that previously we did this in two
steps, first getting the algorithm and then calling crypto_init_spawn.This meant that each spawn user had to be aware of what type and mask to
use for these two steps. This is difficult and also presents a problem
when the type/mask changes as they're about to be for IV generators.The new interface does both steps together just like crypto_alloc_ablkcipher.
As a side-effect this also allows us to be stronger on type enforcement
for spawns. For now this is only done for ablkcipher but it's trivial
to extend for other types.This patch also moves the type/mask logic for skcipher into the helpers
crypto_skcipher_type and crypto_skcipher_mask.Finally this patch introduces the function crypto_require_sync to determine
whether the user is specifically requesting a sync algorithm.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
When allocating ablkcipher/hash objects, we use a mask that's wider than
the usual type mask. This patch sanitises the mask supplied by the user
so we don't end up using a narrower mask which may lead to unintended
results.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
As it is authsize is an algorithm paramter which cannot be changed at
run-time. This is inconvenient because hardware that implements such
algorithms would have to register each authsize that they support
separately.Since authsize is a property common to all AEAD algorithms, we can add
a function setauthsize that sets it at run-time, just like setkey.This patch does exactly that and also changes authenc so that authsize
is no longer a parameter of its template.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as
type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set. This is suboptimal because
ablkcipher refers to two things. On the one hand it refers to the
top-level ablkcipher interface with requests. On the other hand it
refers to and algorithm type underneath.As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm
with the ablkcipher interface on top. This is a problem because
we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level
interface.This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as
we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST. The type it associated
with the algorithm implementation only.Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is
then determined by the mask that's used. If it's a specific mask
then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the
new ablkcipher interface.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch adds support for having multiple parameters to
a template, separated by a comma. It also adds support
for integer parameters in addition to the current algorithm
parameter type.This will be used by the authenc template which will have
four parameters: the authentication algorithm, the encryption
algorithm, the authentication size and the encryption key
length.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
This patch adds crypto_aead which is the interface for AEAD
(Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) algorithms.AEAD algorithms perform authentication and encryption in one
step. Traditionally users (such as IPsec) would use two
different crypto algorithms to perform these. With AEAD
this comes down to one algorithm and one operation.Of course if traditional algorithms were used we'd still
be doing two operations underneath. However, real AEAD
algorithms may allow the underlying operations to be
optimised as well.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch passes the type/mask along when constructing instances of
templates. This is in preparation for templates that may support
multiple types of instances depending on what is requested. For example,
the planned software async crypto driver will use this construct.For the moment this allows us to check whether the instance constructed
is of the correct type and avoid returning success if the type does not
match.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch adds the frontend interface for asynchronous block ciphers.
In addition to the usual block cipher parameters, there is a callback
function pointer and a data pointer. The callback will be invoked only
if the encrypt/decrypt handlers return -EINPROGRESS. In other words,
if the return value of zero the completion handler (or the equivalent
code) needs to be invoked by the caller.The request structure is allocated and freed by the caller. Its size
is determined by calling crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize(). The helpers
ablkcipher_request_alloc/ablkcipher_request_free can be used to manage
the memory for a request.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

The existing digest user interface is inadequate for support asynchronous
operations. For one it doesn't return a value to indicate success or
failure, nor does it take a per-operation descriptor which is essential
for the issuing of requests while other requests are still outstanding.This patch is the first in a series of steps to remodel the interface
for asynchronous operations.For the ease of transition the new interface will be known as "hash"
while the old one will remain as "digest".This patch also changes sg_next to allow chaining.

This patch adds the new type of block ciphers. Unlike current cipher
algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data. As it is block-based,
it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
block cipher implementation. The sg walking is now performed by the
algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer. This is needed for drivers
that directly support sg lists. It also improves performance for all
algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have
a single-block interface. This will be done after all existing users
have switched over to the new block cipher type.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
This patch adds two new operations for the simple cipher that encrypts or
decrypts a single block at a time. This will be the main interface after
the existing block operations have moved over to the new block ciphers.It also adds the crypto_cipher type which is currently only used on the
new operations but will be extended to setkey as well once existing users
have been converted to use block ciphers where applicable.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
This patch adds the crypto_type structure which will be used for all new
crypto algorithm types, beginning with block ciphers.The primary purpose of this abstraction is to allow different crypto_type
objects for crypto algorithms of the same type, in particular, there will
be a different crypto_type objects for asynchronous algorithms.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
