      [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add skcipher_geniv_alloc/skcipher_geniv_free · ecfc4329
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      This patch creates the infrastructure to help the construction of givcipher
      templates that wrap around existing blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithms by adding
      an IV generator to them.

      [CRYPTO] skcipher: Added geniv field · 23508e11
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      This patch introduces the geniv field which indicates the default IV
      generator for each algorithm.  It should point to a string that is not
      freed as long as the algorithm is registered.

      [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add givcrypt operations and givcipher type · 61da88e2
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Different block cipher modes have different requirements for intialisation
      vectors.  For example, CBC can use a simple randomly generated IV while
      modes such as CTR must use an IV generation mechanisms that give a stronger
      guarantee on the lack of collisions.  Furthermore, disk encryption modes
      have their own IV generation algorithms.
      
      Up until now IV generation has been left to the users of the symmetric
      key cipher API.  This is inconvenient as the number of block cipher modes
      increase because the user needs to be aware of which mode is supposed to
      be paired with which IV generation algorithm.
      
      Therefore it makes sense to integrate the IV generation into the crypto
      API.  This patch takes the first step in that direction by creating two
      new ablkcipher operations, givencrypt and givdecrypt that generates an
      IV before performing the actual encryption or decryption.
      
      The operations are currently not exposed to the user.  That will be done
      once the underlying functionality has actually been implemented.
      
      It also creates the underlying givcipher type.  Algorithms that directly
      generate IVs would use it instead of ablkcipher.  All other algorithms
      (including all existing ones) would generate a givcipher algorithm upon
      registration.  This givcipher algorithm will be constructed from the geniv
      string that's stored in every algorithm.  That string will locate a template
      which is instantiated by the blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithm in question to
      give a givcipher algorithm.

      [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add crypto_grab_skcipher interface · 378f4f51
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Note: From now on the collective of ablkcipher/blkcipher/givcipher will
      be known as skcipher, i.e., symmetric key cipher.  The name blkcipher has
      always been much of a misnomer since it supports stream ciphers too.
      
      This patch adds the function crypto_grab_skcipher as a new way of getting
      an ablkcipher spawn.  The problem is that previously we did this in two
      steps, first getting the algorithm and then calling crypto_init_spawn.
      
      This meant that each spawn user had to be aware of what type and mask to
      use for these two steps.  This is difficult and also presents a problem
      when the type/mask changes as they're about to be for IV generators.
      
      The new interface does both steps together just like crypto_alloc_ablkcipher.
      
      As a side-effect this also allows us to be stronger on type enforcement
      for spawns.  For now this is only done for ablkcipher but it's trivial
      to extend for other types.
      
      This patch also moves the type/mask logic for skcipher into the helpers
      crypto_skcipher_type and crypto_skcipher_mask.
      
      Finally this patch introduces the function crypto_require_sync to determine
      whether the user is specifically requesting a sync algorithm.

      [CRYPTO] api: Sanitise mask when allocating ablkcipher/hash · 551a09a7
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      When allocating ablkcipher/hash objects, we use a mask that's wider than
      the usual type mask.  This patch sanitises the mask supplied by the user
      so we don't end up using a narrower mask which may lead to unintended
      results.

      [CRYPTO] aead: Make authsize a run-time parameter · 7ba683a6
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      As it is authsize is an algorithm paramter which cannot be changed at
      run-time.  This is inconvenient because hardware that implements such
      algorithms would have to register each authsize that they support
      separately.
      
      Since authsize is a property common to all AEAD algorithms, we can add
      a function setauthsize that sets it at run-time, just like setkey.
      
      This patch does exactly that and also changes authenc so that authsize
      is no longer a parameter of its template.

      [CRYPTO] ablkcipher: Add distinct ABLKCIPHER type · 332f8840
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as
      type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set.  This is suboptimal because
      ablkcipher refers to two things.  On the one hand it refers to the
      top-level ablkcipher interface with requests.  On the other hand it
      refers to and algorithm type underneath.
      
      As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm
      with the ablkcipher interface on top.  This is a problem because
      we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level
      interface.
      
      This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as
      we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST.  The type it associated
      with the algorithm implementation only.
      
      Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is
      then determined by the mask that's used.  If it's a specific mask
      then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the
      new ablkcipher interface.

      [CRYPTO] templates: Pass type/mask when creating instances · ebc610e5
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      This patch passes the type/mask along when constructing instances of
      templates.  This is in preparation for templates that may support
      multiple types of instances depending on what is requested.  For example,
      the planned software async crypto driver will use this construct.
      
      For the moment this allows us to check whether the instance constructed
      is of the correct type and avoid returning success if the type does not
      match.

      [CRYPTO] api: Add async block cipher interface · 32e3983f
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      This patch adds the frontend interface for asynchronous block ciphers.
      In addition to the usual block cipher parameters, there is a callback
      function pointer and a data pointer.  The callback will be invoked only
      if the encrypt/decrypt handlers return -EINPROGRESS.  In other words,
      if the return value of zero the completion handler (or the equivalent
      code) needs to be invoked by the caller.
      
      The request structure is allocated and freed by the caller.  Its size
      is determined by calling crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize().  The helpers
      ablkcipher_request_alloc/ablkcipher_request_free can be used to manage
      the memory for a request.
