[PATCH v3 4/7] crypto: AF_ALG: add AEAD support

From: Stephan Mueller
Date: Fri Nov 21 2014 - 00:44:13 EST


This patch adds the AEAD support for AF_ALG.

The AEAD implementation uses the entire memory handling and
infrastructure of the existing skcipher implementation.

To use AEAD, the user space consumer has to use the salg_type named
"aead". The AEAD extension only uses the bind callback as the key
differentiator. The previously added functions that select whether to
use AEAD or ablkcipher crypto API functions depend on the TFM type
allocated during the bind() call.

The addition of AEAD brings a bit of overhead to calculate the size of
the ciphertext, because the AEAD implementation of the kernel crypto API
makes implied assumption on the location of the authentication tag. When
performing an encryption, the tag will be added to the created
ciphertext (note, the tag is placed adjacent to the ciphertext). For
decryption, the caller must hand in the ciphertext with the tag appended
to the ciphertext. Therefore, the selection of the used memory
needs to add/subtract the tag size from the source/destination buffers
depending on the encryption type. The code is provided with comments
explainint when and how that operation is performed.

Note: The AF_ALG interface does not support zero length input data.
Such zero length input data may be used if one wants to access the hash
implementation of an AEAD directly (e.g. the GHASH of GCM or CMAC for
CCM). However, this is a use case that is not of interest. GHASH or
CMAC is directly available via the hash AF_ALG interface and we
therefore do not need to take precautions for this use case.

A fully working example using all aspects of AEAD is provided at
http://www.chronox.de/libkcapi.html
