2008-01-11[CRYPTO] skcipher: Add givcrypt operations and givcipher typeHerbert Xu1-0/+46
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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] skcipher: Add crypto_grab_skcipher interfaceHerbert Xu1-2/+23
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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-10-10[CRYPTO] ablkcipher: Remove queue pointer from common alg objectHerbert Xu1-4/+0
Since not everyone needs a queue pointer and those who need it can always get it from the context anyway the queue pointer in the common alg object is redundant. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-10-10[CRYPTO] api: Add missing headers for setkey_unalignedHerbert Xu1-1/+4
This patch ensures that kernel.h and slab.h are included for the setkey_unaligned function. It also breaks a couple of long lines. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-08-06[CRYPTO] api: fix writting into unallocated memory in setkey_alignedSebastian Siewior1-1/+1
setkey_unaligned() commited in ca7c39385ce1a7b44894a4b225a4608624e90730 overwrites unallocated memory in the following memset() because I used the wrong buffer length. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Siewior <sebastian@breakpoint.cc> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-07-11[CRYPTO] api: Allow ablkcipher with no queuesSebastian Siewior1-2/+4
Evgeniy's hifn driver and probably mine don't use ablkcipher->queue at all. The show method of ablkcipher will access this field without checking if it is valid. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Siewior <linux-crypto@ml.breakpoint.cc> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-07-11[CRYPTO] api: Handle unaligned keys in setkeySebastian Siewior1-0/+25
setkey() in {cipher,blkcipher,ablkcipher,hash}.c does not respect the requested alignment by the algorithm. This patch fixes it. The extra memory is allocated by kmalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC flag.

2007-05-02[CRYPTO] api: Add async blkcipher typeHerbert Xu1-0/+83
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 <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
