## Detailed Description

Base class for authenticated encryption modes of operation.

AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase() serves as a base implementation for one direction (encryption or decryption) of a stream cipher or block cipher mode with authentication.

Crypto++ provides four authenticated encryption modes of operation - CCM, EAX, GCM and OCB mode. All modes derive from AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase() and the motivation for the API, like calling AAD a "header", can be found in Bellare, Rogaway and Wagner's The EAX Mode of Operation. The EAX paper suggested a basic API to help standardize AEAD schemes in software and promote adoption of the modes.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ IsRandomAccess()

bool AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase::IsRandomAccess | ( |  | ) | const
| inline virtual

Determines whether the cipher supports random access.

Returns
  true if the cipher supports random access, false otherwise

Implements StreamTransformation.

Definition at line 47 of file authenc.h.

## ◆ IsSelfInverting()

bool AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase::IsSelfInverting | ( |  | ) | const
| inline virtual

Determines whether the cipher is self-inverting.

Returns
  true if the cipher is self-inverting, false otherwise

IsSelfInverting determines whether this transformation is self-inverting (e.g. xor with a keystream).

Implements StreamTransformation.

Definition at line 48 of file authenc.h.

## ◆ SetKey()

void AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase::SetKey | ( | const byte * | key,
|  | size_t | length,
|  | const NameValuePairs & | params
| ) |  |
| 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 to configure this object

Reimplemented from SimpleKeyingInterface.

## ◆ Restart()

void AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase::Restart | ( |  | ) |
| inline virtual

Restart the hash.

Discards the current state, and restart for a new message

Reimplemented from HashTransformation.

Definition at line 51 of file authenc.h.

## ◆ Resynchronize()

void AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase::Resynchronize | ( | const byte * | iv,
|  | int | ivLength = `-1`
| ) |  |
| virtual

Resynchronize with an IV.

Parameters

  iv | the initialization vector
  ivLength | the size of the initialization vector, in bytes

Resynchronize() resynchronizes with an IV provided by the caller. `ivLength=-1` means use IVSize().

Exceptions

  NotImplemented() | if the object does not support resynchronization

Reimplemented from SimpleKeyingInterface.

## ◆ Update()

void AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase::Update | ( | const byte * | input,
|  | size_t | length
| ) |  |
| virtual

Updates a hash with additional input.

Parameters

  input | the additional input as a buffer
  length | the size of the buffer, in bytes

Implements HashTransformation.

## ◆ ProcessData()

void AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase::ProcessData | ( | byte * | outString,
|  | const byte * | inString,
|  | size_t | length
| ) |  |
| virtual

Encrypt or decrypt an array of bytes.

Parameters

  outString | the output byte buffer
  inString | the input byte buffer
  length | the size of the input and output byte buffers, in bytes

ProcessData is called with a string of bytes whose size depends on MandatoryBlockSize. Either `inString == outString`, or they must not overlap.

See also
  ProcessData, ProcessLastBlock, MandatoryBlockSize, MinLastBlockSize, BlockPaddingSchemeDef, IsLastBlockSpecial

Implements StreamTransformation.

## ◆ TruncatedFinal()

void AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase::TruncatedFinal | ( | byte * | digest,
|  | size_t | digestSize
| ) |  |
| virtual

Computes the hash of the current message.

Parameters

  digest | a pointer to the buffer to receive the hash
  digestSize | the size of the truncated digest, in bytes

TruncatedFinal() call Final() and then copies digestSize bytes to digest. The hash is restarted the hash for the next message.

Precondition
  `COUNTOF(digest) <= DigestSize()` or `COUNTOF(digest) <= HASH::DIGESTSIZE` ensures the output byte buffer is a valid size.

Implements HashTransformation.
