  • f19f5111c   [CRYPTO] xts: XTS blockcipher mode implementation without partial blocks ... Browse Code ยป

    XTS currently considered to be the successor of the LRW mode by the IEEE1619
    workgroup. LRW was discarded, because it was not secure if the encyption key
    itself is encrypted with LRW.

    XTS does not have this problem. The implementation is pretty straightforward,
    a new function was added to gf128mul to handle GF(128) elements in ble format.
    Four testvectors from the specification
    http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/pdf00086.pdf
    were added, and they verify on my system.
