Function Documentation

int gcm_auth_decrypt ( gcm_context ctx,
size_t  length,
const unsigned char *  iv,
size_t  iv_len,
const unsigned char *  add,
size_t  add_len,
const unsigned char *  tag,
size_t  tag_len,
const unsigned char *  input,
unsigned char *  output 
)

GCM buffer authenticated decryption using a block cipher.

Note
On decryption, the output buffer cannot be the same as input buffer. If buffers overlap, the output buffer must trail at least 8 bytes behind the input buffer.
Parameters
ctxGCM context
lengthlength of the input data
ivinitialization vector
iv_lenlength of IV
addadditional data
add_lenlength of additional data
tagbuffer holding the tag
tag_lenlength of the tag
inputbuffer holding the input data
outputbuffer for holding the output data
Returns
0 if successful and authenticated, POLARSSL_ERR_GCM_AUTH_FAILED if tag does not match
int gcm_crypt_and_tag ( gcm_context ctx,
int  mode,
size_t  length,
const unsigned char *  iv,
size_t  iv_len,
const unsigned char *  add,
size_t  add_len,
const unsigned char *  input,
unsigned char *  output,
size_t  tag_len,
unsigned char *  tag 
)

GCM buffer encryption/decryption using a block cipher.

Note
On encryption, the output buffer can be the same as the input buffer. On decryption, the output buffer cannot be the same as input buffer. If buffers overlap, the output buffer must trail at least 8 bytes behind the input buffer.
Parameters
ctxGCM context
modeGCM_ENCRYPT or GCM_DECRYPT
lengthlength of the input data
ivinitialization vector
iv_lenlength of IV
addadditional data
add_lenlength of additional data
inputbuffer holding the input data
outputbuffer for holding the output data
tag_lenlength of the tag to generate
tagbuffer for holding the tag
Returns
0 if successful
int gcm_finish ( gcm_context ctx,
unsigned char *  tag,
size_t  tag_len 
)

Generic GCM finalisation function.

Wraps up the GCM stream and generates the tag. The tag can have a maximum length of 16 bytes.

Parameters
ctxGCM context
tagbuffer for holding the tag (may be NULL if tag_len is 0)
tag_lenlength of the tag to generate
Returns
0 if successful or POLARSSL_ERR_GCM_BAD_INPUT
void gcm_free ( gcm_context ctx)

Free a GCM context and underlying cipher sub-context.

Parameters
ctxGCM context to free
int gcm_init ( gcm_context ctx,
cipher_id_t  cipher,
const unsigned char *  key,
unsigned int  keysize 
)

GCM initialization (encryption)

Parameters
ctxGCM context to be initialized
ciphercipher to use (a 128-bit block cipher)
keyencryption key
keysizemust be 128, 192 or 256
Returns
0 if successful, or a cipher specific error code
int gcm_self_test ( int  verbose)

Checkup routine.

Returns
0 if successful, or 1 if the test failed
int gcm_starts ( gcm_context ctx,
int  mode,
const unsigned char *  iv,
size_t  iv_len,
const unsigned char *  add,
size_t  add_len 
)

Generic GCM stream start function.

Parameters
ctxGCM context
modeGCM_ENCRYPT or GCM_DECRYPT
ivinitialization vector
iv_lenlength of IV
addadditional data (or NULL if length is 0)
add_lenlength of additional data
Returns
0 if successful
int gcm_update ( gcm_context ctx,
size_t  length,
const unsigned char *  input,
unsigned char *  output 
)

Generic GCM update function.

Encrypts/decrypts using the given GCM context. Expects input to be a multiple of 16 bytes! Only the last call before gcm_finish() can be less than 16 bytes!

Note
On decryption, the output buffer cannot be the same as input buffer. If buffers overlap, the output buffer must trail at least 8 bytes behind the input buffer.
Parameters
ctxGCM context
lengthlength of the input data
inputbuffer holding the input data
outputbuffer for holding the output data
Returns
0 if successful or POLARSSL_ERR_GCM_BAD_INPUT
