  • In gf128mul_lle() and gf128mul_bbe() r isn't completely initialized with
    zero because the size argument passed to memset() is the size of the
    pointer, not the structure it points to.

    Luckily there are no in-kernel users of those functions so the ABI
    change implied by this fix should break no existing code.

    Based on a patch by the PaX Team.

  • 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.

  • A lot of cypher modes need multiplications in GF(2^128). LRW, ABL, GCM...
    I use functions from this library in my LRW implementation and I will
    also use them in my ABL (Arbitrary Block Length, an unencumbered (correct
    me if I am wrong, wide block cipher mode).

    Elements of GF(2^128) must be presented as u128 *, it encourages automatic
    and proper alignment.

    The library contains support for two different representations of GF(2^128),
    see the comment in gf128mul.h. There different levels of optimization
    (memory/speed tradeoff).

    The code is based on work by Dr Brian Gladman. Notable changes:
    - deletion of two optimization modes
    - change from u32 to u64 for faster handling on 64bit machines
    - support for 'bbe' representation in addition to the, already implemented,
    'lle' representation.
    - move 'inline void' functions from header to 'static void' in the
    source file
    - update to use the linux coding style conventions
