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

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

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

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