Detailed Description

template<class BASE = AbstractPolicyHolder<AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy, SymmetricCipher>>
class AdditiveCipherTemplate< BASE >

Base class for additive stream ciphers with SymmetricCipher interface.

Template Parameters

BASE	AbstractPolicyHolder base class

Definition at line 299 of file strciphr.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GenerateBlock()

template<class S >

void AdditiveCipherTemplate< S >::GenerateBlock	(	byte *	output,
		size_t	size
	)

virtual

Generate random array of bytes.

Parameters

output	the byte buffer
size	the length of the buffer, in bytes

All generated values are uniformly distributed over the range specified within the constraints of a particular generator.

Reimplemented from RandomNumberGenerator.

Definition at line 34 of file strciphr.cpp.

◆ ProcessData()

template<class S >

void AdditiveCipherTemplate< S >::ProcessData	(	byte *	outString,
		const byte *	inString,
		size_t	length
	)

Apply keystream to data.

Parameters

outString	a buffer to write the transformed data
inString	a buffer to read the data
length	the size fo the buffers, in bytes

This is the primary method to operate a stream cipher. For example:

    size_t size = 30;
    byte plain[size] = "Do or do not; there is no try";
    byte cipher[size];
    ...
    ChaCha20 chacha(key, keySize);
    chacha.ProcessData(cipher, plain, size);

Definition at line 69 of file strciphr.cpp.

◆ Resynchronize()

template<class S >

void AdditiveCipherTemplate< S >::Resynchronize	(	const byte *	iv,
		int	length = `-1`
	)

Resynchronize the cipher.

Parameters

iv	a byte array used to resynchronize the cipher
length	the size of the IV array

Definition at line 128 of file strciphr.cpp.

◆ OptimalBlockSize()

template<class BASE = AbstractPolicyHolder<AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy, SymmetricCipher>>

unsigned int AdditiveCipherTemplate< BASE >::OptimalBlockSize ( ) const

inline

Provides number of ideal bytes to process.

Returns: the ideal number of bytes to process

Internally, the default implementation returns GetBytesPerIteration()

See also: GetBytesPerIteration() and GetOptimalNextBlockSize()

Definition at line 336 of file strciphr.h.

◆ GetOptimalNextBlockSize()

template<class BASE = AbstractPolicyHolder<AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy, SymmetricCipher>>

unsigned int AdditiveCipherTemplate< BASE >::GetOptimalNextBlockSize ( ) const

inline

Provides number of ideal bytes to process.

Returns: the ideal number of bytes to process

Internally, the default implementation returns remaining unprocessed bytes

See also: GetBytesPerIteration() and OptimalBlockSize()

Definition at line 342 of file strciphr.h.

◆ OptimalDataAlignment()

template<class BASE = AbstractPolicyHolder<AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy, SymmetricCipher>>

unsigned int AdditiveCipherTemplate< BASE >::OptimalDataAlignment ( ) const

inline

Provides number of ideal data alignment.

Returns: the ideal data alignment, in bytes

See also: GetAlignment() and OptimalBlockSize()

Definition at line 347 of file strciphr.h.

◆ IsSelfInverting()

template<class BASE = AbstractPolicyHolder<AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy, SymmetricCipher>>

bool AdditiveCipherTemplate< BASE >::IsSelfInverting ( ) const

inline

Determines if the cipher is self inverting.

Returns: true if the stream cipher is self inverting, false otherwise

Definition at line 351 of file strciphr.h.

◆ IsForwardTransformation()

template<class BASE = AbstractPolicyHolder<AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy, SymmetricCipher>>

bool AdditiveCipherTemplate< BASE >::IsForwardTransformation ( ) const

inline

Determines if the cipher is a forward transformation.

Returns: true if the stream cipher is a forward transformation, false otherwise

Definition at line 355 of file strciphr.h.

◆ IsRandomAccess()

template<class BASE = AbstractPolicyHolder<AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy, SymmetricCipher>>

bool AdditiveCipherTemplate< BASE >::IsRandomAccess ( ) const

inline

Flag indicating random access.

Returns: true if the cipher is seekable, false otherwise

See also: Seek()

Definition at line 360 of file strciphr.h.

◆ Seek()

template<class BASE >

void AdditiveCipherTemplate< BASE >::Seek ( lword position )

Seeks to a random position in the stream.

Parameters

position the absolute position in the stream

See also: IsRandomAccess()

Definition at line 137 of file strciphr.cpp.

◆ AlgorithmProvider()

template<class BASE = AbstractPolicyHolder<AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy, SymmetricCipher>>

std::string AdditiveCipherTemplate< BASE >::AlgorithmProvider ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Retrieve the provider of this algorithm.

Returns: the algorithm provider

The algorithm provider can be a name like "C++", "SSE", "NEON", "AESNI", "ARMv8" and "Power8". C++ is standard C++ code. Other labels, like SSE, usually indicate a specialized implementation using instructions from a higher instruction set architecture (ISA). Future labels may include external hardware like a hardware security module (HSM).

Generally speaking Wei Dai's original IA-32 ASM code falls under "SSE2". Labels like "SSSE3" and "SSE4.1" follow after Wei's code and use intrinsics instead of ASM.

Algorithms which combine different instructions or ISAs provide the dominant one. For example on x86 AES/GCM returns "AESNI" rather than "CLMUL" or "AES+SSE4.1" or "AES+CLMUL" or "AES+SSE4.1+CLMUL".

Note: Provider is not universally implemented yet.

Reimplemented from Algorithm.
