Member Function Documentation

◆ GenerateBlock()

template<class BASE = AbstractPolicyHolder<AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy, SymmetricCipher>>
void AdditiveCipherTemplate< BASE >::GenerateBlock ( byte output,
size_t  size 
)
virtual

Generate random array of bytes.

Parameters
outputthe byte buffer
sizethe length of the buffer, in bytes

All generated values are uniformly distributed over the range specified within the constraints of a particular generator.

Reimplemented from RandomNumberGenerator.

◆ ProcessData()

template<class BASE = AbstractPolicyHolder<AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy, SymmetricCipher>>
void AdditiveCipherTemplate< BASE >::ProcessData ( byte outString,
const byte inString,
size_t  length 
)
virtual

Apply keystream to data.

Parameters
outStringa buffer to write the transformed data
inStringa buffer to read the data
lengththe size of the buffers, in bytes

This is the primary method to operate a stream cipher. For example:

    size_t size = 30;
    byte plain[size] = "Do or do not; there is no try";
    byte cipher[size];
    ...
    ChaCha20 chacha(key, keySize);
    chacha.ProcessData(cipher, plain, size);

You should use distinct buffers for inString and outString. If the buffers are the same, then the data will be copied to an internal buffer to avoid GCC alias violations. The internal copy will impact performance.

void AdditiveCipherTemplate< BASE >::Seek ( lword  position)
virtual

Seeks to a random position in the stream.

Parameters
positionthe absolute position in the stream
See also

Reimplemented from StreamTransformation.

◆ AlgorithmProvider()

template<class BASE = AbstractPolicyHolder<AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy, SymmetricCipher>>
std::string AdditiveCipherTemplate< 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.

Reimplemented from Algorithm.
