Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ IV_Requirement

Secure IVs requirements as enumerated values.

Provides secure IV requirements as a monotonically increasing enumerated values. Requirements can be compared using less than (<) and greater than (>). For example, UNIQUE_IV < RANDOM_IV and UNPREDICTABLE_RANDOM_IV > RANDOM_IV.

Objects that use SimpleKeyingInterface do not support an optional IV. That is, an IV must be present or it must be absent. If you wish to support an optional IV then provide two classes - one with an IV and one without an IV.

Enumerator
UNIQUE_IV 

The IV must be unique.

RANDOM_IV 

The IV must be random and possibly predictable.

UNPREDICTABLE_RANDOM_IV 

The IV must be random and unpredictable.

INTERNALLY_GENERATED_IV 

The IV is set by the object.

NOT_RESYNCHRONIZABLE 

The object does not use an IV.

◆ MinKeyLength()

virtual size_t SimpleKeyingInterface::MinKeyLength ( ) const
pure virtual

◆ MaxKeyLength()

virtual size_t SimpleKeyingInterface::MaxKeyLength ( ) const

◆ DefaultKeyLength()

virtual size_t SimpleKeyingInterface::DefaultKeyLength ( ) const
pure virtual

◆ GetValidKeyLength()

virtual size_t SimpleKeyingInterface::GetValidKeyLength ( size_t  keylength) const
pure virtual

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.

inlinevirtual

Returns whether keylength is a valid key length.

Parameters
keylengththe requested keylength
Returns
true if keylength is valid, false otherwise

Internally the function calls GetValidKeyLength()

size_t  length,
const NameValuePairs params = g_nullNameValuePairs 
)
virtual

Sets or reset the key of this object.

Parameters
keythe key to use when keying the object
lengththe size of the key, in bytes
paramsadditional initialization parameters to configure this object

Reimplemented in AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase, XTS_ModeBase, and ECB_OneWay.

◆ SetKeyWithRounds()

void SimpleKeyingInterface::SetKeyWithRounds ( const byte key,
size_t  length,
int  rounds 
)

Sets or reset the key of this object.

Parameters
keythe key to use when keying the object
lengththe size of the key, in bytes
roundsthe number of rounds to apply the transformation function, if applicable

SetKeyWithRounds() calls SetKey() with a NameValuePairs object that only specifies rounds. rounds is an integer parameter, and -1 means use the default number of rounds.

◆ SetKeyWithIV() [1/2]

void SimpleKeyingInterface::SetKeyWithIV ( const byte key,
size_t  length,
const byte iv,
size_t  ivLength 
)

Sets or reset the key of this object.

Parameters
keythe key to use when keying the object
lengththe size of the key, in bytes
ivthe initialization vector to use when keying the object
ivLengththe size of the iv, in bytes

SetKeyWithIV() calls SetKey() with a NameValuePairs that only specifies IV. The IV is a byte buffer with size ivLength. ivLength is an integer parameter, and -1 means use IVSize().

◆ SetKeyWithIV() [2/2]

void SimpleKeyingInterface::SetKeyWithIV ( const byte key,
size_t  length,
const byte iv 
)
inline

Sets or reset the key of this object.

Parameters
keythe key to use when keying the object
lengththe size of the key, in bytes
ivthe initialization vector to use when keying the object

SetKeyWithIV() calls SetKey() with a NameValuePairs() object that only specifies iv. iv is a byte buffer, and it must have a size IVSize().

◆ IVRequirement()

virtual IV_Requirement SimpleKeyingInterface::IVRequirement ( ) const
pure virtual

◆ IsResynchronizable()

bool SimpleKeyingInterface::IsResynchronizable ( ) const
inline

Determines if the object can be resynchronized.

Returns
true if the object can be resynchronized (i.e. supports initialization vectors), false otherwise
Note
If this function returns true, and no IV is passed to SetKey() and CanUseStructuredIVs()==true, an IV of all 0's will be assumed.

Definition at line 745 of file cryptlib.h.

◆ CanUseRandomIVs()

CanUseStructuredIVs() indicates whether the object can use structured IVs; for example a counter (in addition to ones returned by GetNextIV).

Retrieves a secure IV for the next message.

Parameters
rnga RandomNumberGenerator to produce keying material
iva block of bytes to receive the IV

The IV must be at least IVSize() in length.

This method should be called after you finish encrypting one message and are ready to start the next one. After calling it, you must call SetKey() or Resynchronize(). before using this object again.

Internally, the base class implementation calls RandomNumberGenerator's GenerateBlock()

Note
This method is not implemented on decryption objects.

Reimplemented in VMAC_Base, and Poly1305_Base< T >.
