Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ IV_Requirement

enum SimpleKeyingInterface::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.

See also: IsResynchronizable(), CanUseRandomIVs(), CanUsePredictableIVs(), CanUseStructuredIVs()

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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ MinKeyLength()

virtual size_t SimpleKeyingInterface::MinKeyLength ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns smallest valid key length.

Returns: the minimum key length, in bytes

◆ MaxKeyLength()

virtual size_t SimpleKeyingInterface::MaxKeyLength ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns largest valid key length.

Returns: the maximum key length, in bytes

◆ DefaultKeyLength()

◆ GetValidKeyLength()

virtual size_t SimpleKeyingInterface::GetValidKeyLength ( size_t keylength ) const

pure virtual

Returns a valid key length for the algorithm.

Parameters

keylength the 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.

◆ IsValidKeyLength()

virtual bool SimpleKeyingInterface::IsValidKeyLength ( size_t keylength ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns whether keylength is a valid key length.

Parameters

keylength the 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

key	the key to use when keying the object
length	the size of the key, in bytes
params	additional initialization parameters to configure this object

Reimplemented in ECB_OneWay, XTS_ModeBase, and AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase.

Sets or reset the key of this object.

Parameters

key	the key to use when keying the object
length	the size of the key, in bytes
rounds	the 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]

Parameters

key	the key to use when keying the object
length	the size of the key, in bytes
iv	the initialization vector to use when keying the object
ivLength	the 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

key	the key to use when keying the object
length	the size of the key, in bytes
iv	the 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

Minimal requirement for secure IVs.

Returns: the secure IV requirement of the algorithm

◆ 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 740 of file cryptlib.h.

◆ CanUseRandomIVs()

bool SimpleKeyingInterface::CanUseRandomIVs ( ) const

inline

rng	a RandomNumberGenerator to produce keying material
iv	a 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 Poly1305_Base< T >, and VMAC_Base.
