struct AdditiveCipherConcretePolicy< WT, W, X, BASE >

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ GetAlignment()

template<typename WT, unsigned int W, unsigned int X = 1, class BASE = AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy>

unsigned int AdditiveCipherConcretePolicy< WT, W, X, BASE >::GetAlignment | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides data alignment requirements.

Returns
  data alignment requirements, in bytes

Internally, the default implementation returns 1. If the stream cipher is implemented using an SSE2 ASM or intrinsics, then the value returned is usually 16.

Definition at line 221 of file strciphr.h.

## ◆ GetBytesPerIteration()

template<typename WT, unsigned int W, unsigned int X = 1, class BASE = AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy>

unsigned int AdditiveCipherConcretePolicy< WT, W, X, BASE >::GetBytesPerIteration | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides number of bytes operated upon during an iteration.

Returns
  bytes operated upon during an iteration, in bytes

See also
  GetOptimalBlockSize()

Definition at line 227 of file strciphr.h.

## ◆ GetIterationsToBuffer()

template<typename WT, unsigned int W, unsigned int X = 1, class BASE = AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy>

unsigned int AdditiveCipherConcretePolicy< WT, W, X, BASE >::GetIterationsToBuffer | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides buffer size based on iterations.

Returns
  the buffer size based on iterations, in bytes

Definition at line 231 of file strciphr.h.

## ◆ CanOperateKeystream()

template<typename WT, unsigned int W, unsigned int X = 1, class BASE = AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy>

bool AdditiveCipherConcretePolicy< WT, W, X, BASE >::CanOperateKeystream | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Flag indicating.

Returns
  true if the stream can be generated independent of the transformation input, false otherwise

See also
  CanOperateKeystream(), OperateKeystream(), WriteKeystream()

Definition at line 237 of file strciphr.h.

## ◆ OperateKeystream()

template<typename WT, unsigned int W, unsigned int X = 1, class BASE = AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy>

virtual void AdditiveCipherConcretePolicy< WT, W, X, BASE >::OperateKeystream | ( | KeystreamOperation | operation,
|  | byte * | output,
|  | const byte * | input,
|  | size_t | iterationCount
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Operates the keystream.

Parameters

  operation | the operation with additional flags
  output | the output buffer
  input | the input buffer
  iterationCount | the number of iterations to perform on the input

OperateKeystream() will attempt to operate upon GetOptimalBlockSize() buffer, which will be derived from GetBytesPerIteration().

## Member Data Documentation

## ◆ BYTES_PER_ITERATION

template<typename WT, unsigned int W, unsigned int X = 1, class BASE = AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy>

const int AdditiveCipherConcretePolicy< WT, W, X, BASE >::BYTES_PER_ITERATION = sizeof(WordType) * W
| static

Number of bytes for an iteration.

BYTES_PER_ITERATION is the product `sizeof(WordType) * W`. For example, ChaCha uses 16 each `word32`, and the value of BYTES_PER_ITERATION is 64. Each invocation of the ChaCha block function produces 64 bytes of keystream.
