[CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_attr_alg_name

2008-01-10T21:16:40Z

This patch adds a new helper crypto_attr_alg_name which is basically the first half of crypto_attr_alg. That is, it returns an algorithm name parameter as a string without looking it up. The caller can then look it up immediately or defer it until later. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

[CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_inc and crypto_xor

2008-01-10T21:16:17Z

With the addition of more stream ciphers we need to curb the proliferation of ad-hoc xor functions. This patch creates a generic pair of functions, crypto_inc and crypto_xor which does big-endian increment and exclusive or, respectively. For optimum performance, they both use u32 operations so alignment must be as that of u32 even though the arguments are of type u8 *. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

[CRYPTO] api: Fix potential race in crypto_remove_spawn

2007-11-23T11:32:09Z

As it is crypto_remove_spawn may try to unregister an instance which is yet to be registered. This patch fixes this by checking whether the instance has been registered before attempting to remove it. It also removes a bogus cra_destroy check in crypto_register_instance as 1) it's outside the mutex; 2) we have a check in __crypto_register_alg already. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

[CRYPTO] api: Explain the comparison on larval cra_name

2007-10-10T23:55:47Z

This patch adds a comment to explain why we compare the cra_driver_name of the algorithm being registered against the cra_name of a larval as opposed to the cra_driver_name of the larval. In fact larvals have only one name, cra_name which is the name that was requested by the user. The test here is simply trying to find out whether the algorithm being registered can or can not satisfy the larval. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

[CRYPTO] blkcipher: Remove alignment restriction on block size

2007-10-10T23:55:46Z

Previously we assumed for convenience that the block size is a multiple of the algorithm's required alignment. With the pending addition of CTR this will no longer be the case as the block size will be 1 due to it being a stream cipher. However, the alignment requirement will be that of the underlying implementation which will most likely be greater than 1. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

[CRYPTO] aead: Add authenc

2007-10-10T23:55:43Z

This patch adds the authenc algorithm which constructs an AEAD algorithm from an asynchronous block cipher and a hash. The construction is done by concatenating the encrypted result from the cipher with the output from the hash, as is used by the IPsec ESP protocol. The authenc algorithm exists as a template with four parameters: authenc(auth, authsize, enc, enckeylen). The authentication algorithm, the authentication size (i.e., truncating the output of the authentication algorithm), the encryption algorithm, and the encryption key length. Both the size field and the key length field are in bytes. For example, AES-128 with SHA1-HMAC would be represented by authenc(hmac(sha1), 12, cbc(aes), 16) The key for the authenc algorithm is the concatenation of the keys for the authentication algorithm with the encryption algorithm. For the above example, if a key of length 36 bytes is given, then hmac(sha1) would receive the first 20 bytes while the last 16 would be given to cbc(aes). Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

[CRYPTO] api: Add support for multiple template parameters

2007-10-10T23:55:40Z

This patch adds support for having multiple parameters to a template, separated by a comma. It also adds support for integer parameters in addition to the current algorithm parameter type. This will be used by the authenc template which will have four parameters: the authentication algorithm, the encryption algorithm, the authentication size and the encryption key length.

[CRYPTO] api: Wake up all waiters when larval completes

2007-07-11T12:58:53Z

Right now when a larval matures or when it dies of an error we only wake up one waiter. This would cause other waiters to timeout unnecessarily. This patch changes it to use complete_all to wake up all waiters. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

[CRYPTO] api: Do not remove users unless new algorithm matches

2007-05-02T04:38:32Z

As it is whenever a new algorithm with the same name is registered users of the old algorithm will be removed so that they can take advantage of the new algorithm. This presents a problem when the new algorithm is not equivalent to the old algorithm. In particular, the new algorithm might only function on top of the existing one. Hence we should not remove users unless they can make use of the new algorithm. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

[CRYPTO] api: Add async blkcipher type

2007-05-02T04:38:31Z

This patch adds the mid-level interface for asynchronous block ciphers. It also includes a generic queueing mechanism that can be used by other asynchronous crypto operations in future. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
