This patch converts the gcm algorithm over to crypto_grab_skcipher
which is a prerequisite for IV generation.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
This patch adds the gcm_base template which takes a block cipher
parameter instead of cipher. This allows the user to specify a
specific CTR implementation.This also fixes a leak of the cipher algorithm that was previously
looked up but never freed.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
This patch converts the authenc algorithm over to crypto_grab_skcipher
which is a prerequisite for IV generation.This patch also changes authenc to set its ASYNC status depending on
the ASYNC status of the underlying skcipher.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 generator generates an IV based on a sequence number by xoring it
with a salt and then encrypting it with the same key as used to encrypt
the plain text. This algorithm requires that the block size be equal
to the IV size. It is mainly useful for CBC.It has one noteworthy property that for IPsec the IV happens to lie
just before the plain text so the IV generation simply increases the
number of encrypted blocks by one. Therefore the cost of this generator
is entirely dependent on the speed of the underlying cipher.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
This patch adds the helper skcipher_givcrypt_complete which should be
called when an ablkcipher algorithm has completed a givcrypt request.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
The chain IV generator is the one we've been using in the IPsec stack.
It simply starts out with a random IV, then uses the last block of each
encrypted packet's cipher text as the IV for the next packet.It can only be used by synchronous ciphers since we have to make sure
that we don't start the encryption of the next packet until the last
one has completed.It does have the advantage of using very little CPU time since it doesn't
have to generate anything 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
-
If the underlying algorithm specifies a specific geniv algorithm then
we should use it for the cryptd version as well.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

This patch adds the necessary changes for GCM to be used with async
ciphers. This would allow it to be used with hardware devices that
support CTR.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
As discussed previously, this patch moves the basic CTR functionality
into a chainable algorithm called ctr. The IPsec-specific variant of
it is now placed on top with the name rfc3686.So ctr(aes) gives a chainable cipher with IV size 16 while the IPsec
variant will be called rfc3686(ctr(aes)). This patch also adjusts
gcm accordingly.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
With the impending addition of the givcipher type, both blkcipher and
ablkcipher algorithms will use it to create givcipher objects. As such
it no longer makes sense to split the system between ablkcipher and
blkcipher. In particular, both ablkcipher.c and blkcipher.c would need
to use the givcipher type which has to reside in ablkcipher.c since it
shares much code with it.This patch merges the two Kconfig options as well as the modules into one.

This patch fixes the request context alignment so that it is actually
aligned to the value required by the algorithm.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
This patch adds a new helper crypto_attr_alg_name which is basically the
first half of crypto_attr_alg. That is, it returns an algorithm name
parameter as a string without looking it up. The caller can then look it
up immediately or defer it until later.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

This patch fixes the multi-page processing bug that affects large test
vectors (the same bug that previously affected ctr.c).There is an optimization for the case walk.nbytes == nbytes. Also we
now use crypto_xor() instead of adhoc XOR routines.Signed-off-by: Tan Swee Heng
Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu -
The abreq structure is currently allocated on the stack. This is broken
if the underlying algorithm is asynchronous. This patch changes it so
that it's taken from the private context instead which has been enlarged
accordingly.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
Unfortunately the generic chaining hasn't been ported to all architectures
yet, and notably not s390. So this patch restores the chainging that we've
been using previously which does work everywhere.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
The scatterwalk infrastructure is used by algorithms so it needs to

This patch changes gcm/authenc to return EBADMSG instead of EINVAL for
ICV mismatches. This convention has already been adopted by IPsec.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
The crypto_aead convention for ICVs is to include it directly in the
output. If we decided to change this in future then we would make
the ICV (if the algorithm has an explicit one) available in the
request itself.For now no algorithm needs this so this patch changes gcm to conform
to this convention. It also adjusts the tcrypt aead tests to take
this into account.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
Currently the gcm(aes) tests have to be taken together with all other
ciphers. This patch makes it available by itself at number 35.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
The previous code incorrectly included the hash in the verification which
also meant that we'd crash and burn when it comes to actually verifying
the hash since we'd go past the end of the SG list.This patch fixes that by subtracting authsize from cryptlen at the start.
Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
-
Having enckeylen as a template parameter makes it a pain for hardware
devices that implement ciphers with many key sizes since each one would
have to be registered separately.Since the authenc algorithm is mainly used for legacy purposes where its
key is going to be constructed out of two separate keys, we can in fact
embed this value into the key itself.This patch does this by prepending an rtnetlink header to the key that
contains the encryption key length.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

Since alignment masks are always one less than a power of two, we can
