Mon Oct 21 12:34:06 CEST 2013


* cipher/cipher.c (_gcry_cipher_authenticate, _gcry_cipher_checktag)
(_gcry_cipher_gettag): New.
* doc/gcrypt.texi: Add documentation for new API functions.
* src/visibility.c (gcry_cipher_authenticate, gcry_cipher_checktag)
(gcry_cipher_gettag): New.
* src/gcrypt.h.in, src/visibility.h: add declarations of these
functions.
* src/libgcrypt.defs, src/libgcrypt.vers: export functions.

Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) cipher modes
provide authentication tag that can be used to authenticate message. At
the same time it allows one to specify additional (unencrypted data)
that will be authenticated together with the message. This class of
cipher modes requires additional API present in this commit.

This patch is based on original patch by Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov.

Changes in v2:
 - Change gcry_cipher_tag to gcry_cipher_checktag and gcry_cipher_gettag
   for giving tag (checktag) for decryption and reading tag (gettag) after
   encryption.
 - Change gcry_cipher_authenticate to gcry_cipher_setaad, since
   additional parameters needed for some AEAD modes (in this case CCM,
   which needs the length of encrypted data and tag for MAC
   initialization).
 - Add some documentation.

Changes in v3:
 - Change gcry_cipher_setaad back to gcry_cipher_authenticate. Additional
   parameters (encrypt_len, tag_len, aad_len) for CCM will be given
   through GCRY_CTL_SET_CCM_PARAMS.

+Check the authentication tag after decryption. The authentication
+tag is passed as the buffer @var{tag} of length @var{taglen} bytes
+and compared to internal authentication tag computed during
+decryption.  Error code @code{GPG_ERR_CHECKSUM} is returned if
+the authentication tag in the buffer @var{tag} does not match
+the authentication tag calculated during decryption.

 The actual encryption and decryption is done by using one of the
 following functions.  They may be used as often as required to process
 all the data.
