39.Nd OpenCrypto algorithms
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The in-kernel OpenCrypto framework supports several different encryption
42and authentication algorithms.
43This document describes the parameters and requirements of these algorithms.
44Unless otherwise noted, all sizes listed below are in bytes.
45.Ss Authenticators
46Authenticators compute a value (also known as a digest, hash, or tag)
47over an input of bytes.
48In-kernel requests can either compute the value for a given input,
49or verify if a given tag matches the computed tag for a given input.
50The following authentication algorithms are supported:

90.Ss Block Ciphers
91Block ciphers in OCF can only operate on messages whose length is an
92exact multiple of the cipher's block size.
93OCF supports the following block ciphers:
94.Bl -column "CRYPTO_CAMELLIA_CBC" "IV Size" "Block Size" "16, 24, 32"

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

122.It Dv CRYPTO_CHACHA20 Ta 16 Ta 16, 32 Ta
123ChaCha20
124.El
125.Pp
126The IV for each request must be provided in
127.Fa crp_iv
128via the
129.Dv CRYPTO_F_IV_SEPARATE
130flag.
131.Pp
132.Dv CRYPTO_AES_ICM
133uses the entire IV as a 128-bit big endian block counter.
134The IV sets the initial counter value for a message.
135If a consumer wishes to use an IV whose value is split into
136separate nonce and counter fields (e.g., IPsec),
137the consumer is responsible for splitting requests to handle
138counter rollover.
139.Pp
140.Dv CRYPTO_CHACHA20
141accepts a 16 byte IV.
142The first 8 bytes are used as a nonce.
143The last 8 bytes are used as a 64-bit little-endian block counter.
144.Ss Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data Algorithms
145AEAD algorithms in OCF combine a stream cipher with an authentication
146algorithm to provide both secrecy and authentication.
147AEAD algorithms accept additional authentication data (AAD)
148in addition to the ciphertext or plaintext.
149AAD is passed to the authentication algorithm as input in a method
150defined by the specific AEAD algorithm.
151.Pp
152AEAD algorithms in OCF accept a nonce that is combined with an
153algorithm-defined counter to construct the IV for the underlying
154stream cipher.
155This nonce must be provided in
156.Fa crp_iv
157via the
158.Dv CRYPTO_F_IV_SEPARATE
159flag.
160Some AEAD algorithms support multiple nonce sizes.
161The first size listed is the default nonce size.
162.Pp
163The following AEAD algorithms are supported:
164.Bl -column "CRYPTO_AES_NIST_GCM_16" "12, 7-13" "16, 24, 32" "Tag"
