2008-08-29crypto: rng - RNG interface and implementationNeil Horman1-0/+25
This patch adds a random number generator interface as well as a cryptographic pseudo-random number generator based on AES. It is meant to be used in cases where a deterministic CPRNG is required. One of the first applications will be as an input in the IPsec IV generation process. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-08-29crypto: api - Use test infrastructureHerbert Xu1-0/+8
This patch makes use of the new testing infrastructure by requiring algorithms to pass a run-time test before they're made available to users. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-08-29crypto: cryptomgr - Add test infrastructureHerbert Xu1-0/+2
This patch moves the newly created alg_test infrastructure into cryptomgr. This shall allow us to use it for testing at algorithm registrations. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-07-10crypto: hash - Move ahash functions into crypto/hash.hHerbert Xu1-136/+0
All new crypto interfaces should go into individual files as much as possible in order to ensure that crypto.h does not collapse under its own weight. This patch moves the ahash code into crypto/hash.h and crypto/internal/hash.h respectively. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-07-10crypto: hash - Removed vestigial ahash fieldsHerbert Xu1-5/+2
The base field in ahash_tfm appears to have been cut-n-pasted from ablkcipher. It isn't needed here at all. Similarly, the info field in ahash_request also appears to have originated from its cipher counter-part and is vestigial. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2008-01-11[CRYPTO] api: Set default CRYPTO_MINALIGN to unsigned long longHerbert Xu1-4/+2
Thanks to David Miller for pointing out that the SLAB (or SLOB/SLUB) cache uses the alignment of unsigned long long if the architecture kmalloc/slab alignment macros are not defined. This patch changes the CRYPTO_MINALIGN so that it uses the same default value. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] aead: Create default givcipher instancesHerbert Xu1-9/+1
This patch makes crypto_alloc_aead always return algorithms that is capable of generating their own IVs through givencrypt and givdecrypt. All existing AEAD algorithms already do. New ones must either supply their own or specify a generic IV generator with the geniv field. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] aead: Add aead_geniv_alloc/aead_geniv_freeHerbert Xu1-2/+9
This patch creates the infrastructure to help the construction of IV generator templates that wrap around AEAD algorithms by adding an IV generator to them. This is useful for AEAD algorithms with no built-in IV generator or to replace their built-in generator. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] aead: Add givcrypt operationsHerbert Xu1-0/+5
This patch adds the underlying givcrypt operations for aead and associated support elements. The rationale is identical to that of the skcipher givcrypt operations, i.e., sometimes only the algorithm knows how the IV should be generated. A new request type aead_givcrypt_request is added which contains an embedded aead_request structure with two new elements to support this operation. The new elements are seq and giv. The seq field should contain a strictly increasing 64-bit integer which may be used by certain IV generators as an input value. The giv field will be used to store the generated IV. It does not need to obey the alignment requirements of the algorithm because it's not used during the operation. The existing iv field must still be available as it will be used to store intermediate IVs and the output IV if chaining is desired. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] skcipher: Create default givcipher instancesHerbert Xu1-7/+2
This patch makes crypto_alloc_ablkcipher/crypto_grab_skcipher always return algorithms that are capable of generating their own IVs through givencrypt and givdecrypt. Each algorithm may specify its default IV generator through the geniv field. For algorithms that do not set the geniv field, the blkcipher layer will pick a default. Currently it's chainiv for synchronous algorithms and eseqiv for asynchronous algorithms. Note that if these wrappers do not work on an algorithm then that algorithm must specify its own geniv or it can't be used at all. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] skcipher: Add skcipher_geniv_alloc/skcipher_geniv_freeHerbert Xu1-4/+14
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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] skcipher: Added geniv fieldHerbert Xu1-0/+4
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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] skcipher: Add givcrypt operations and givcipher typeHerbert Xu1-0/+7
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 Xu1-10/+16
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>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] api: Sanitise mask when allocating ablkcipher/hashHerbert Xu1-0/+4
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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] aead: Make authsize a run-time parameterHerbert Xu1-1/+4
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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] ablkcipher: Add distinct ABLKCIPHER typeHerbert Xu1-8/+10
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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2007-10-11[CRYPTO] ablkcipher: Remove queue pointer from common alg objectHerbert Xu1-3/+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>
2007-10-11[CRYPTO] api: Add support for multiple template parametersHerbert Xu1-0/+8
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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-10-11[CRYPTO] api: Add aead crypto typeHerbert Xu1-0/+200
This patch adds crypto_aead which is the interface for AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) algorithms. AEAD algorithms perform authentication and encryption in one step. Traditionally users (such as IPsec) would use two different crypto algorithms to perform these. With AEAD this comes down to one algorithm and one operation. Of course if traditional algorithms were used we'd still be doing two operations underneath. However, real AEAD algorithms may allow the underlying operations to be optimised as well.

2007-05-02[CRYPTO] api: Add async blkcipher typeHerbert Xu1-0/+22
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>
2007-05-02[CRYPTO] templates: Pass type/mask when creating instancesHerbert Xu1-0/+9
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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-05-02[CRYPTO] api: Add async block cipher interfaceHerbert Xu1-4/+195
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.

2007-02-07[CRYPTO] api: Use structs for cipher/compressionHerbert Xu1-7/+14

2006-09-21[CRYPTO] padlock: Convert padlock-sha to use crypto_hashHerbert Xu1-0/+6
This patch converts padlock-sha to use crypto_hash for its fallback. It also changes the fallback selection to use selection by type instead of name. This is done through the new CRYPTO_ALG_NEED_FALLBACK bit, which is set if and only if an algorithm needs a fallback of the same type. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2006-09-21[CRYPTO] digest: Added user API for new hash typeHerbert Xu1-34/+138
The existing digest user interface is inadequate for support asynchronous operations. For one it doesn't return a value to indicate success or failure, nor does it take a per-operation descriptor which is essential for the issuing of requests while other requests are still outstanding. This patch is the first in a series of steps to remodel the interface for asynchronous operations. For the ease of transition the new interface will be known as "hash" while the old one will remain as "digest". This patch also changes sg_next to allow chaining. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Mark parts of cipher interface as deprecatedHerbert Xu1-12/+36
Mark the parts of the cipher interface that have been replaced by block ciphers as deprecated. Thanks to Andrew Morton for suggesting doing this before removing them completely. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] cipher: Added block cipher typeHerbert Xu1-0/+179
This patch adds the new type of block ciphers. Unlike current cipher algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data. As it is block-based, it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block. The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing block cipher implementation. The sg walking is now performed by the algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer. This is needed for drivers that directly support sg lists. It also improves performance for all algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one. In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have a single-block interface. This will be done after all existing users have switched over to the new block cipher type. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] cipher: Added encrypt_one/decrypt_oneHerbert Xu1-0/+96
This patch adds two new operations for the simple cipher that encrypts or decrypts a single block at a time. This will be the main interface after the existing block operations have moved over to the new block ciphers. It also adds the crypto_cipher type which is currently only used on the new operations but will be extended to setkey as well once existing users have been converted to use block ciphers where applicable. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Added crypto_type supportHerbert Xu1-0/+3
This patch adds the crypto_type structure which will be used for all new crypto algorithm types, beginning with block ciphers. The primary purpose of this abstraction is to allow different crypto_type objects for crypto algorithms of the same type, in particular, there will be a different crypto_type objects for asynchronous algorithms. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Added crypto_alloc_baseHerbert Xu1-11/+3
Up until now all crypto transforms have been of the same type, struct crypto_tfm, regardless of whether they are ciphers, digests, or other types. As a result of that, we check the types at run-time before each crypto operation. This is rather cumbersome. We could instead use different C types for each crypto type to ensure that the correct types are used at compile time. That is, we would have crypto_cipher/crypto_digest instead of just crypto_tfm. The appropriate type would then be required for the actual operations such as crypto_digest_digest. Now that we have the type/mask fields when looking up algorithms, it is easy to request for an algorithm of the precise type that the user wants. However, crypto_alloc_tfm currently does not expose these new attributes. This patch introduces the function crypto_alloc_base which will carry these new parameters. It will be renamed to crypto_alloc_tfm once all existing users have been converted. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Added asynchronous flagHerbert Xu1-0/+1
This patch adds the asynchronous flag and changes all existing users to only look up algorithms that are synchronous. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] cipher: Removed special IV checks for ECBHerbert Xu1-2/+0
This patch makes IV operations on ECB fail through nocrypt_iv rather than calling BUG(). This is needed to generalise CBC/ECB using the template mechanism. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Get rid of flags argument to setkeyHerbert Xu1-4/+2
Now that the tfm is passed directly to setkey instead of the ctx, we no longer need to pass the &tfm->crt_flags pointer. This patch also gets rid of a few unnecessary checks on the key length for ciphers as the cipher layer guarantees that the key length is within the bounds specified by the algorithm. Rather than testing dia_setkey every time, this patch does it only once during crypto_alloc_tfm. The redundant check from crypto_digest_setkey is also removed.

2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Added spawnsHerbert Xu1-0/+4
Spawns lock a specific crypto algorithm in place. They can then be used with crypto_spawn_tfm to allocate a tfm for that algorithm.

2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Add cryptomgrHerbert Xu1-0/+9
The cryptomgr module is a simple manager of crypto algorithm instances. It ensures that parameterised algorithms of the type tmpl(alg) (e.g., cbc(aes)) are always created. This is meant to satisfy the needs for most users. For more complex cases such as deeper combinations or multiple parameters, a netlink module will be created which allows arbitrary expressions to be parsed in user-space.
