Detailed Description

interface for for one direction (encryption or decryption) of a stream cipher or block cipher mode with authentication

The StreamTransformation part of this interface is used to encrypt/decrypt the data, and the MessageAuthenticationCode part of this interface is used to input additional authenticated data (AAD, which is MAC'ed but not encrypted), and to generate/verify the MAC.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool AuthenticatedSymmetricCipher::NeedsPrespecifiedDataLengths (  )  const [inline, virtual]

if this function returns true, SpecifyDataLengths() must be called before attempting to input data

This is the case for some schemes, such as CCM.

Reimplemented in CCM_Base.

Definition at line 646 of file cryptlib.h.

void SimpleKeyingInterface::SetKey ( const byte *  key,
size_t  length,
const NameValuePairs params = g_nullNameValuePairs 
) [virtual, inherited]

set or reset the key of this object

Parameters:
params is used to specify Rounds, BlockSize, etc.

Definition at line 60 of file cryptlib.cpp.

Referenced by SimpleKeyingInterface::SetKeyWithIV(), and SimpleKeyingInterface::SetKeyWithRounds().

bool SimpleKeyingInterface::IsResynchronizable (  )  const [inline, inherited]

returns whether this object can be resynchronized (i.e. supports initialization vectors)

If this function returns true, and no IV is passed to SetKey() and CanUseStructuredIVs()==true, an IV of all 0's will be assumed.

Definition at line 386 of file cryptlib.h.

void SimpleKeyingInterface::GetNextIV ( RandomNumberGenerator rng,
byte *  IV 
) [virtual, inherited]

get a secure IV for the next message

This method should be called after you finish encrypting one message and are ready to start the next one. After calling it, you must call SetKey() or Resynchronize() before using this object again. This method is not implemented on decryption objects.

Definition at line 136 of file cryptlib.cpp.

References RandomNumberGenerator::GenerateBlock().

virtual void HashTransformation::Final ( byte *  digest  )  [inline, virtual, inherited]

compute hash for current message, then restart for a new message

Precondition:
size of digest == DigestSize().

Definition at line 545 of file cryptlib.h.

Referenced by PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC< T >::DeriveKey(), and HMAC_Base::TruncatedFinal().

virtual bool HashTransformation::Verify ( const byte *  digest  )  [inline, virtual, inherited]

verify that digest is a valid digest for the current message, then reinitialize the object

Default implementation is to call Final() and do a bitwise comparison between its output and digest.

Definition at line 575 of file cryptlib.h.

virtual unsigned int StreamTransformation::OptimalBlockSize (  )  const [inline, virtual, inherited]

returns the input block size that is most efficient for this cipher

Note:
optimal input length is n * OptimalBlockSize() - GetOptimalBlockSizeUsed() for any n > 0

Reimplemented in ECB_OneWay.

Definition at line 481 of file cryptlib.h.

virtual void StreamTransformation::ProcessData ( byte *  outString,
const byte *  inString,
size_t  length 
) [pure virtual, inherited]

encrypt or decrypt an array of bytes of specified length

Note:
either inString == outString, or they don't overlap

Implemented in AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase, PublicBlumBlumShub, ECB_OneWay, CBC_Encryption, and CBC_Decryption.

Referenced by AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase::ProcessData(), and StreamTransformation::ProcessLastBlock().

void StreamTransformation::ProcessLastBlock ( byte *  outString,
const byte *  inString,
size_t  length 
) [virtual, inherited]

for ciphers where the last block of data is special, encrypt or decrypt the last block of data

For now the only use of this function is for CBC-CTS mode.

Reimplemented in CBC_CTS_Encryption, and CBC_CTS_Decryption.

Definition at line 194 of file cryptlib.cpp.
