  • This fixes the broken autoloading of the corresponding twofish assembler
    ciphers on x86 and x86_64 if they are available. The module name of the
    generic implementation was in conflict with the alias in the assembler
    modules. The generic twofish c implementation is renamed to
    twofish_generic according to the other algorithms with assembler
    implementations and an module alias is added for 'twofish'. You can now
    load 'twofish' giving you the best implementation by priority,
    'twofish-generic' to get the c implementation or 'twofish-asm' to get
    the assembler version of cipher.

  • The PCOMP Kconfig entry current allows the following combination
    which is illegal:

    ZLIB=y
    PCOMP=y
    ALGAPI=m
    ALGAPI2=y
    MANAGER=m
    MANAGER2=m

    This patch fixes this by adding PCOMP2 so that PCOMP can select
    ALGAPI to propagate the setting to MANAGER2.

  • The current "comp" crypto interface supports one-shot (de)compression only,
    i.e. the whole data buffer to be (de)compressed must be passed at once, and
    the whole (de)compressed data buffer will be received at once.
    In several use-cases (e.g. compressed file systems that store files in big
    compressed blocks), this workflow is not suitable.
    Furthermore, the "comp" type doesn't provide for the configuration of
    (de)compression parameters, and always allocates workspace memory for both
    compression and decompression, which may waste memory.

    To solve this, add a "pcomp" partial (de)compression interface that provides
    the following operations:
    - crypto_compress_{init,update,final}() for compression,
    - crypto_decompress_{init,update,final}() for decompression,
    - crypto_{,de}compress_setup(), to configure (de)compression parameters
    (incl. allocating workspace memory).

    The (de)compression methods take a struct comp_request, which was mimicked
    after the z_stream object in zlib, and contains buffer pointer and length
    pairs for input and output.

    The setup methods take an opaque parameter pointer and length pair. Parameters
    are supposed to be encoded using netlink attributes, whose meanings depend on
    the actual (name of the) (de)compression algorithm.

  • The shash interface replaces the current synchronous hash interface.
    It improves over hash in two ways. Firstly shash is reentrant,
    meaning that the same tfm may be used by two threads simultaneously
    as all hashing state is stored in a local descriptor.

    The other enhancement is that shash no longer takes scatter list
    entries. This is because shash is specifically designed for
    synchronous algorithms and as such scatter lists are unnecessary.

    All existing hash users will be converted to shash once the
    algorithms have been completely converted.

    There is also a new finup function that combines update with final.
    This will be extended to ahash once the algorithm conversion is
    done.

    This is also the first time that an algorithm type has their own
    registration function. Existing algorithm types will be converted
    to this way in due course.

  • If we have at least one algorithm built-in then it no longer makes
    sense to have the testing framework, and hence cryptomgr to be a
    module. It should be either on or off, i.e., built-in or disabled.

    This just happens to stop a potential runaway modprobe loop that
    seems to trigger on at least one distro.

  • This patch adds a random number generator interface as well as a
    cryptographic pseudo-random number generator based on AES. It is
    meant to be used in cases where a deterministic CPRNG is required.

    One of the first applications will be as an input in the IPsec IV
    generation process.

  • Add the ability to turn FIPS-compliant mode on or off at boot

    In order to be FIPS compliant, several check may need to be preformed that may
    be construed as unusefull in a non-compliant mode. This patch allows us to set
    a kernel flag incating that we are running in a fips-compliant mode from boot
    up. It also exports that mode information to user space via a sysctl
    (/proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled).

    Tested successfully by me.

  • This generator generates an IV based on a sequence number by xoring it

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 implements CTR mode for IPsec.
    It is based off of RFC 3686.

    Please note:
    1. CTR turns a block cipher into a stream cipher.
    Encryption is done in blocks, however the last block
    may be a partial block.

    A "counter block" is encrypted, creating a keystream
    that is xor'ed with the plaintext. The counter portion
    of the counter block is incremented after each block
    of plaintext is encrypted.
    Decryption is performed in same manner.

    2. The CTR counterblock is composed of,
    nonce + IV + counter

    The size of the counterblock is equivalent to the
    blocksize of the cipher.
    sizeof(nonce) + sizeof(IV) + sizeof(counter) = blocksize

    The CTR template requires the name of the cipher
    algorithm, the sizeof the nonce, and the sizeof the iv.
    ctr(cipher,sizeof_nonce,sizeof_iv)

    So for example,
    ctr(aes,4,8)
    specifies the counterblock will be composed of 4 bytes
    from a nonce, 8 bytes from the iv, and 4 bytes for counter
    since aes has a blocksize of 16 bytes.

    3. The counter portion of the counter block is stored
    in big endian for conformance to rfc 3686.

  • Loading the crypto algorithm by the alias instead of by module directly
    has the advantage that all possible implementations of this algorithm
    are loaded automatically and the crypto API can choose the best one
    depending on its priority.

    Additionally it ensures that the generic implementation as well as the
    HW driver (if available) is loaded in case the HW driver needs the
    generic version as fallback in corner cases.

    Also remove the probe for sha1 in padlock's init code.

    Quote from Herbert:
    The probe is actually pointless since we can always probe when
    the algorithm is actually used which does not lead to dead-locks
    like this.

  • 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

  • This patch adds the authenc algorithm which constructs an AEAD algorithm
    from an asynchronous block cipher and a hash. The construction is done
    by concatenating the encrypted result from the cipher with the output
    from the hash, as is used by the IPsec ESP protocol.

    The authenc algorithm exists as a template with four parameters:

    authenc(auth, authsize, enc, enckeylen).

    The authentication algorithm, the authentication size (i.e., truncating
    the output of the authentication algorithm), the encryption algorithm,
    and the encryption key length. Both the size field and the key length
    field are in bytes. For example, AES-128 with SHA1-HMAC would be
    represented by

    authenc(hmac(sha1), 12, cbc(aes), 16)

    The key for the authenc algorithm is the concatenation of the keys for
    the authentication algorithm with the encryption algorithm. For the
    above example, if a key of length 36 bytes is given, then hmac(sha1)
    would receive the first 20 bytes while the last 16 would be given to
    cbc(aes).

  • 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.
