36.Nd OpenCrypto algorithms
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The in-kernel OpenCrypto framework supports several different encryption
39and authentication algorithms.
40This document describes the parameters and requirements of these algorithms.
41Unless otherwise noted, all sizes listed below are in bytes.
42.Ss Authenticators
43Authenticators compute a value (also known as a digest, hash, or tag)
44over an input of bytes.
45In-kernel requests can either compute the value for a given input,
46or verify if a given tag matches the computed tag for a given input.
47The following authentication algorithms are supported:

87.Ss Block Ciphers
88Block ciphers in OCF can only operate on messages whose length is an
89exact multiple of the cipher's block size.
90OCF supports the following block ciphers:
91.Bl -column "CRYPTO_CAMELLIA_CBC" "IV Size" "Block Size" "16, 24, 32"

102.Pp
103.Dv CRYPTO_AES_XTS
104implements XEX Tweakable Block Cipher with Ciphertext Stealing
105as defined in NIST SP 800-38E.
106OCF consumers provide the first 8 bytes of the IV.
107The remaining 8 bytes are defined to be a block counter beginning at 0.
108.Pp
109NOTE: The ciphertext stealing part is not implemented in all backends
110which is why this cipher requires input that is a multiple of the block
111size.
112.Ss Stream Ciphers
113Stream ciphers can operate on messages with arbitrary lengths.
114OCF supports the following stream ciphers:
115.Bl -column "CRYPTO_CHACHA20" "IV Size" "16, 24, 32"
116.It Sy Name Ta Sy IV Size Ta Sy Key Sizes Ta Sy Description
117.It Dv CRYPTO_AES_ICM Ta 16 Ta 16, 24, 32 Ta

119.It Dv CRYPTO_CHACHA20 Ta 16 Ta 16, 32 Ta
120ChaCha20
121.El
122.Pp
123The IV for each request must be provided in
124.Fa crp_iv
125via the
126.Dv CRYPTO_F_IV_SEPARATE
127flag.
128.Pp
129.Dv CRYPTO_AES_ICM
130uses the entire IV as a 128-bit big endian block counter.
131The IV sets the initial counter value for a message.
132If a consumer wishes to use an IV whose value is split into
133separate nonce and counter fields (e.g., IPsec),
134the consumer is responsible for splitting requests to handle
135counter rollover.
136.Pp
137.Dv CRYPTO_CHACHA20
138accepts a 16 byte IV.
139The first 8 bytes are used as a nonce.
140The last 8 bytes are used as a 64-bit little-endian block counter.
141.Ss Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data Algorithms
142AEAD algorithms in OCF combine a stream cipher with an authentication
143algorithm to provide both secrecy and authentication.
144AEAD algorithms accept additional authentication data (AAD)
145in addition to the ciphertext or plaintext.
146AAD is passed to the authentication algorithm as input in a method
147defined by the specific AEAD algorithm.
148.Pp
149AEAD algorithms in OCF accept a nonce that is combined with an
150algorithm-defined counter to construct the IV for the underlying
151stream cipher.
152This nonce must be provided in
153.Fa crp_iv
154via the
155.Dv CRYPTO_F_IV_SEPARATE
156flag.
157Some AEAD algorithms support multiple nonce sizes.
158The first size listed is the default nonce size.
159.Pp
160The following AEAD algorithms are supported:
161.Bl -column "CRYPTO_AES_NIST_GCM_16" "12, 7-13" "16, 24, 32" "Tag"
