40Or load the crypto.ko module.
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The following cryptographic algorithms that are part of the OpenCrypto
43framework have the following requirements.

64.It Key size :
6516, 24 or 32
66.It Digest size :
6716
68.El
69.Pp
70This algorithm implements Counter with CBC-MAC Mode.
71This cipher uses AEAD
72.Pq Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data
73mode.
74.Pp
75The authentication tag will be read from or written to the offset
76.Va crp_digest_start
77specified in the request.
78.Pp
79Note: The nonce for each request must be provided in
80.Fa crp_iv
81via the
82.Dv CRYPTO_F_IV_SEPARATE
83flag.
84.It Dv CRYPTO_AES_NIST_GCM_16
85.Bl -tag -width "Block size :" -compact -offset indent
86.It IV size :

90.It Key size :
9116, 24 or 32
92.It Digest size :

94.El
95.Pp
96This algorithm implements Galois/Counter Mode.
97This cipher uses AEAD
98.Pq Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data
99mode.
100.Pp
101The authentication tag will be read from or written to the offset
102.Va crp_digest_start
103specified in the request.
104.Pp
105Note: The nonce for each request must be provided in
106.Fa crp_iv
107via the
108.Dv CRYPTO_F_IV_SEPARATE
109flag.
110.It Dv CRYPTO_AES_ICM
111.Bl -tag -width "Block size :" -compact -offset indent
112.It IV size :

114.It Block size :
1151
116.It Key size :
11716, 24 or 32
118.El
119.Pp
120This algorithm implements Integer Counter Mode.
121This is similar to what most people call counter mode, but instead of the
122counter being split into a nonce and a counter part, then entire nonce is
123used as the initial counter.
124This does mean that if a counter is required that rolls over at 32 bits,
125the transaction need to be split into two parts where the counter rolls over.
126The counter incremented as a 128-bit big endian number.
127.Pp
128Note: The counter for each request must be provided in
129.Fa crp_iv
130via the
131.Dv CRYPTO_F_IV_SEPARATE
132flag.
133.It Dv CRYPTO_AES_XTS
134.Bl -tag -width "Block size :" -compact -offset indent
135.It IV size :
1368
137.It Block size :
13816
139.It Key size :
14032 or 64
141.El
142.Pp
143This algorithm implements XEX Tweakable Block Cipher with Ciphertext Stealing
144as defined in NIST SP 800-38E.
145.Pp
146NOTE: The ciphertext stealing part is not implemented which is why this cipher
147is listed as having a block size of 16 instead of 1.
148.It Dv CRYPTO_CAMELLIA_CBC
149.Bl -tag -width "Block size :" -compact -offset indent
150.It IV size :

157.Pp
158This algorithm implements Cipher Block Chaining.
159.It Dv CRYPTO_CHACHA20
160.Bl -tag -width "Block size :" -compact -offset indent
161.It IV size :
