Detailed Description

GCM block cipher base implementation.

Base implementation of the AuthenticatedSymmetricCipher interface

Since
Crypto++ 5.6.0

Definition at line 32 of file gcm.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AlgorithmName()

std::string GCM_Base::AlgorithmName ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Provides the name of this algorithm.

Returns
the standard algorithm name

The standard algorithm name can be a name like AES or AES/GCM. Some algorithms do not have standard names yet. For example, there is no standard algorithm name for Shoup's ECIES.

Reimplemented from AuthenticatedSymmetricCipher.

Definition at line 36 of file gcm.h.

◆ AlgorithmProvider()

std::string GCM_Base::AlgorithmProvider ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Retrieve the provider of this algorithm.

Returns
the algorithm provider

The algorithm provider can be a name like "C++", "SSE", "NEON", "AESNI", "ARMv8" and "Power8". C++ is standard C++ code. Other labels, like SSE, usually indicate a specialized implementation using instructions from a higher instruction set architecture (ISA). Future labels may include external hardware like a hardware security module (HSM).

Generally speaking Wei Dai's original IA-32 ASM code falls under "SSE2". Labels like "SSSE3" and "SSE4.1" follow after Wei's code and use intrinsics instead of ASM.

Algorithms which combine different instructions or ISAs provide the dominant one. For example on x86 AES/GCM returns "AESNI" rather than "CLMUL" or "AES+SSE4.1" or "AES+CLMUL" or "AES+SSE4.1+CLMUL".

Note
Provider is not universally implemented yet.
Since
Crypto++ 8.0

Reimplemented from AuthenticatedSymmetricCipher.

Definition at line 38 of file gcm.h.

◆ MinKeyLength()

size_t GCM_Base::MinKeyLength ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Returns smallest valid key length.

Returns
the minimum key length, in bytes

Implements SimpleKeyingInterface.

Definition at line 40 of file gcm.h.

◆ MaxKeyLength()

size_t GCM_Base::MaxKeyLength ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Returns largest valid key length.

Returns
the maximum key length, in bytes

Implements SimpleKeyingInterface.

Definition at line 42 of file gcm.h.

◆ DefaultKeyLength()

size_t GCM_Base::DefaultKeyLength ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Returns default key length.

Returns
the default key length, in bytes

Implements SimpleKeyingInterface.

Definition at line 44 of file gcm.h.

◆ GetValidKeyLength()

size_t GCM_Base::GetValidKeyLength ( size_t  keylength) const
inlinevirtual

Returns a valid key length for the algorithm.

Parameters
keylengththe size of the key, in bytes
Returns
the valid key length, in bytes

keylength is provided in bytes, not bits. If keylength is less than MIN_KEYLENGTH, then the function returns MIN_KEYLENGTH. If keylength is greater than MAX_KEYLENGTH, then the function returns MAX_KEYLENGTH. if If keylength is a multiple of KEYLENGTH_MULTIPLE, then keylength is returned. Otherwise, the function returns a lower multiple of KEYLENGTH_MULTIPLE.

Implements SimpleKeyingInterface.

Definition at line 46 of file gcm.h.

◆ IsValidKeyLength()

bool GCM_Base::IsValidKeyLength ( size_t  keylength) const

Returns whether keylength is a valid key length.

Parameters
keylengththe requested keylength
