Detailed Description

Interface for algorithms that take byte strings as keys.

Definition at line 497 of file cryptlib.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Provides IV requirements as an enumerated value.

Enumerator
UNIQUE_IV 

The IV must be unique.

RANDOM_IV 

The IV must be random.

UNPREDICTABLE_RANDOM_IV 

The IV must be unpredictable.

INTERNALLY_GENERATED_IV 

The IV is set by the object.

NOT_RESYNCHRONIZABLE 

The object does not use an IV.

Definition at line 555 of file cryptlib.h.

Member Function Documentation

virtual size_t SimpleKeyingInterface::GetValidKeyLength ( size_t  n) const
pure virtual
virtual bool SimpleKeyingInterface::IsValidKeyLength ( size_t  keylength) const
inlinevirtual

Returns whether keylength is a valid key length.

Internally the function calls GetValidKeyLength()

Reimplemented in CipherModeBase, GCM_Base, EAX_Base, and CCM_Base.

Definition at line 515 of file cryptlib.h.

References g_nullNameValuePairs.

void SimpleKeyingInterface::SetKey ( const byte *  key,
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 that cannot be passed directly through the constructor

Reimplemented in ECB_OneWay, and AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase.

Definition at line 100 of file cryptlib.cpp.

Referenced by HKDF< T >::DeriveKey(), RandomPool::GenerateIntoBufferedTransformation(), TestDataNameValuePairs::GetVoidValue(), CBC_MAC_Base::UncheckedSetKey(), CMAC_Base::UncheckedSetKey(), VMAC_Base::UncheckedSetKey(), and BlockOrientedCipherModeBase::UncheckedSetKey().

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 an NameValuePairs object that just specifies rounds. rounds is an integer parameter, and -1 means use the default number of rounds.

Definition at line 106 of file cryptlib.cpp.

References MakeParameters(), and Name::Rounds().

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 intiialization vector to use when keying the object
ivLengththe size of the iv, in bytes

SetKeyWithIV calls SetKey with an NameValuePairs object that just specifies iv. iv is a byte buffer with size ivLength.

Definition at line 111 of file cryptlib.cpp.

References NameValuePairs::GetValue(), IntToString(), Name::IV(), and MakeParameters().

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 intiialization vector to use when keying the object

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

Definition at line 551 of file cryptlib.h.

bool SimpleKeyingInterface::IsResynchronizable ( ) const
inline

returns whether the object can be resynchronized (i.e. supports initialization vectors)

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 573 of file cryptlib.h.

virtual unsigned int SimpleKeyingInterface::IVSize ( ) const
inlinevirtual
void SimpleKeyingInterface::GetNextIV ( RandomNumberGenerator rng,
byte *  iv 
)
virtual

Gets a secure IV for the next message.

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

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.

key must be at least IVSize() in length.

Note
This method is not implemented on decryption objects.

Reimplemented in VMAC_Base.
