## Member Enumeration Documentation

## ◆ IV_Requirement

enum SimpleKeyingInterface::IV_Requirement

Secure IVs requirements as enumerated values.

Provides secure IV requirements as a monotonically increasing enumerated values. Requirements can be compared using less than (<) and greater than (>). For example, `UNIQUE_IV < RANDOM_IV` and `UNPREDICTABLE_RANDOM_IV > RANDOM_IV`.

Objects that use SimpleKeyingInterface do not support an optional IV. That is, an IV must be present or it must be absent. If you wish to support an optional IV then provide two classes - one with an IV and one without an IV.

See also
  IsResynchronizable(), CanUseRandomIVs(), CanUsePredictableIVs(), CanUseStructuredIVs()

Enumerator
UNIQUE_IV | The IV must be unique.
RANDOM_IV | The IV must be random and possibly predictable.
UNPREDICTABLE_RANDOM_IV | The IV must be random and unpredictable.
INTERNALLY_GENERATED_IV | The IV is set by the object.
NOT_RESYNCHRONIZABLE | The object does not use an IV.

Retrieves a secure IV for the next message.

Parameters

  rng | a RandomNumberGenerator to produce keying material
  iv | a block of bytes to receive the IV

The IV must be at least IVSize() in length.

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.

Internally, the base class implementation calls RandomNumberGenerator's GenerateBlock()

Note
  This method is not implemented on decryption objects.

Reimplemented in VMAC_Base, and Poly1305_Base< T >.
