## Detailed Description

### template<class T>
class Poly1305< T >

Poly1305 message authentication code.

Template Parameters

  T | class derived from BlockCipherDocumentation with 16-byte key and 16-byte blocksize

Poly1305-AES is a state-of-the-art message-authentication code suitable for a wide variety of applications. Poly1305-AES computes a 16-byte authenticator of a variable-length message, using a 16-byte AES key, a 16-byte additional key, and a 16-byte nonce.

The key is 32 bytes and a concatenation `key = {k,s}`, where `k` is the AES key and `r` is additional key that gets clamped. The key is clamped internally so there is no need to perform the operation before setting the key.

Each message must have a unique security context, which means either the key or nonce must be changed after each message. It can be accomplished in one of two ways. First, you can create a new Poly1305 object each time its needed.

      SecByteBlock key(32), nonce(16);
      prng.GenerateBlock(key, key.size());
      prng.GenerateBlock(nonce, nonce.size());

      Poly1305<AES> poly1305(key, key.size(), nonce, nonce.size());
      poly1305.Update(...);
      poly1305.Final(...);

Second, you can create a Poly1305 object, reuse the key, and set a fresh nonce for each message. The second and subsequent nonces can be generated using GetNextIV().

      SecByteBlock key(32), nonce(16);
      prng.GenerateBlock(key, key.size());
      prng.GenerateBlock(nonce, nonce.size());

      // First message
      Poly1305<AES> poly1305(key, key.size());
      poly1305.Resynchronize(nonce);
      poly1305.Update(...);
      poly1305.Final(...);

      // Second message
      poly1305.GetNextIV(prng, nonce);
      poly1305.Resynchronize(nonce);
      poly1305.Update(...);
      poly1305.Final(...);
      ...

Warning
  Each message must have a unique security context. The Poly1305 class does not enforce a fresh key or nonce for each message. The source code will assert in debug builds to alert of nonce reuse. No action is taken in release builds.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ Poly1305()

template<class T >

Poly1305< T >::Poly1305 | ( | const byte * | key,
|  | size_t | keyLength = `DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH`,
|  | const byte * | nonce = `NULL`,
|  | size_t | nonceLength = `0`
| ) |  |
| inline

Construct a Poly1305.

Parameters

  key | a byte array used to key the cipher
  keyLength | the size of the byte array, in bytes
  nonce | a byte array used to key the cipher
  nonceLength | the size of the byte array, in bytes

The key is 32 bytes and a concatenation `key = {k,s}`, where `k` is the AES key and `r` is additional key that gets clamped. The key is clamped internally so there is no need to perform the operation before setting the key.

Each message requires a unique security context. You can use GetNextIV() and Resynchronize() to set a new nonce under a key for a message.
