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

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

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

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