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 [inline, virtual]

Returns whether keylength is a valid key length.

Internally the function calls GetValidKeyLength()

Reimplemented in CCM_Base, EAX_Base, GCM_Base, and CipherModeBase.

Definition at line 515 of file cryptlib.h.

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

Reimplemented in AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase, and ECB_OneWay.

Definition at line 100 of file cryptlib.cpp.

void SimpleKeyingInterface::SetKeyWithRounds ( const byte *  key,
size_t  length,
int  rounds 
)

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 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(), Rounds(), and SetKey().

void SimpleKeyingInterface::SetKeyWithIV ( const byte *  key,
size_t  length,
const byte *  iv,
size_t  ivLength 
)

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 intiialization vector to use when keying the object
ivLength the 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 IV(), MakeParameters(), and SetKey().

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 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.

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.

Referenced by BlockOrientedCipherModeBase::UncheckedSetKey().

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

Gets a secure IV for the next message.

Parameters:
rng a RandomNumberGenerator to produce keying material
iv a 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.
