Subject: [PATCH 0/8] crypto: AF_ALG: add AEAD and RNG support
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2014 07:59:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4738444.A2vZX1nNCo@tachyon.chronox.de> (raw)
Hi,
This patch set adds AEAD and RNG support to the AF_ALG interface
exported by the kernel crypto API. By extending AF_ALG with AEAD and RNG
support, all cipher types the kernel crypto API allows access to are
now accessible from userspace.
The RNG support is stand-alone.
The AEAD implementation is added to algif_skcipher.c to prevent
re-implementation of the memory moving logic.
The extension for the AEAD support can be summarized with the following
types of changes:
* select the correct crypto API functions (either the ablkcipher
or the aead functions)
* apply the additional data needed for AEAD at the right time
(associated data, authentication tag) -- this includes the addition
of user space interfaces to allow setting this data.
* add the calculation for the memory size needed for encryption and
decryption.
In addition, the patch set adds a getsockopt implementation to skcipher to
allow user space to inquire about properties of the ciphers (IV size,
block size, authentication data size). This extension would be needed for a
generic user space usage of these ciphers.
The new AEAD and RNG interfaces are fully tested with the test application
provided at [1]. That test application exercises all newly added user space
interfaces.
The patch set was tested on x86_64 and i386.
