+Kernel Crypto API Interface Specification
+=========================================
+
+The kernel crypto API offers a rich set of ciphers and methods to invoke these
+ciphers. This document contains a description of the API and provides example
+code.
+
+To understand and properly use the kernel crypto API a brief explanation of the
+structure is given. Based on the architecture, the API can be separated into
+different components. Following the architecture specification the various
+components forming the kernel crypto API are described.
+
+The kernel crypto API refers to all algorithms as "transforms". Therefore, a
+cipher handle variable usually has the name "tfm". Besides cryptographic
+operations, the kernel crypto API also knows compression transforms and handles
+them the same way as ciphers.
+
+The kernel crypto API serves the following entity types:
+
+ * users requesting cryptographic services
+
+ * data transformation implementations (typically ciphers) that
+ can be called by users
+
+This specification is mainly intended for normal users that need cryptographic
+support. It lists all API calls relevant for these users. This API
+specification, however, does not list all API calls available to data
+transformation implementations ((i.e. implementations of ciphers and other
+transformations (such as CRC or even compression algorithms) that can register
+with the kernel crypto API).
+
+Kernel Crypto API Architecture
+==============================
+
+Cipher types
+------------
+
+The kernel crypto API provides different API calls for the following cipher
+types:
+
+ * Symmetric ciphers
+
+ * AEAD ciphers
+
+ * Message digest, including keyed message digest
+
+ * Random number generation
+
+ * User space interface
+
+Ciphers and Templates
+---------------------
+
+The kernel crypto API provides implementations of raw ciphers. In addition, the
+kernel crypto API provides numerous "templates" that can be used in conjunction
+with the raw ciphers. Templates include all types of block chaining mode, the
+HMAC mechanism, etc.
+
+Raw ciphers can either be directly used by a caller or invoked together with a
+template. A raw cipher may even be called with multiple templates. However,
+templates cannot be used without a raw cipher.
+
+Synchronous and asynchronous operation
+--------------------------------------
+
+The kernel crypto API provides synchronous and asynchronous API calls.
+
+When using a synchronous API call, the caller invokes a cipher operation which
+is performed synchronously by the kernel crypto API. That means, the caller
+waits until the cipher operation completes. Therefore, the kernel crypto
+API calls work like regular function calls. For synchronous operations, the set
+of API calls is small and similar to any other crypto library.
+
+Asynchronous operation is provided by the kernel crypto API which implies that
+the invocation of a cipher operation will complete almost instantly. That
+invocation triggers the cipher operation but it does not signal its completion.
+Before invoking a cipher operation, the caller must provide a callback function
+the kernel crypto API can invoke to signal the completion of the cipher
+operation. Furthermore, the caller must ensure it can handle such asynchronous
+events by applying appropriate locking around its data. The kernel crypto API
+does not perform any special serialization operation to protect the caller's
+data integrity.
+
+Kernel crypto API cipher references and priority
+------------------------------------------------
+
+A cipher is referenced by the caller with a string. That string has the
+following semantics:
+
+ template(raw cipher)
+
+where "template" and "raw cipher" is the aforementioned template and raw cipher,
+respectively. If applicable, additional templates may enclose other templates,
+such as
+
+ template1(template2(raw cipher)))
+
+The kernel crypto API may provide multiple implementations of a template or a
+raw cipher. For example, AES on newer x86_64 hardware has the following
+implementations: AES-NI, assembler implementation, or straight C. Now, when
+using the string "aes" with the kernel crypto API, which cipher implementation
+is used? The answer to that question is the priority number assigned to each
+cipher implementation by the kernel crypto API. When a caller uses the string to
+refer to a cipher during initialization of a cipher handle, the kernel crypto
+API looks up all implementations providing an implementation with that name and
+selects the implementation with the highest priority.
+
+Now, a caller may have the need to refer to a specific cipher implementation and
+thus does not want to rely on the priority-based selection. To accommodate this
+scenario, the kernel crypto API allows the cipher implementation to
+register a unique name in addition to common names. When using that unique name,
+a caller is therefore always sure to refer to the intended cipher
+implementation.
+
+The list of available ciphers is given in /proc/crypto. When reading that file,
+all available ciphers with all possible template to raw cipher permutations are
+listed. Each block listed in /proc/crypto contains the following information:
+
+ * name: the generic name of the cipher that is subject to the
+ priority-based selection -- this name can be used by the cipher
+ allocation API calls
+
+ * driver: the unique name of the cipher -- this name can be used by the
+ cipher allocation API calls
+
+ * module: the kernel module providing the cipher implementation (or
+ "kernel" for statically linked ciphers)
+
+ * priority: the priority value of the cipher implementation
+
+ * refcnt: the reference count of the respective cipher (i.e. the number
+ of current users of this cipher)
+
+ * selftest: specification whether the self test for the cipher passed
+
+ * type:
+ - blkcipher for symmetric block ciphers
+ - ablkcipher for asymmetric block ciphers
+ - cipher for raw ciphers
+ - shash for symmetric message digest
+ - ahash for asymmetric message digest
+ - aead for AEAD cipher type
+ - compression for compression type transforms
+ - rng for random number generator
+ - givcipher for cipher with associated IV generator
+
+ * blocksize: blocksize of cipher in bytes
+
+ * keysize: key size in bytes
+
+ * ivsize: IV size in bytes
+
+ * seedsize: required size of seed data for random number generator
+
+ * digestsize: output size of the message digest
+
+ * geniv: IV generation type:
+ - eseqiv for encrypted sequence number based IV generation
+ - seqiv for sequence number based IV generation
+ - chainiv for chain iv generation
+ - <builtin> is a marker that the cipher implements IV generation
+
+Note: /proc/crypto only lists ciphers. This file does not specifies registered
+templates. Therefore, this file also does not specify any permutations of
+templates-cipher combinations.
+
+Key sizes
+---------
+
+When allocating a cipher handle, the caller only specifies the cipher type.
+Symmetric ciphers, however, typically support multiple key sizes (e.g. AES-128
+vs. AES-256). These key sizes are determined with the length of the provided
+key. Thus, the kernel crypto API does not provide a separate way to select
+the particular symmetric cipher key size.
+
+Cipher allocation type and masks
+--------------------------------
+
+The different cipher handle allocation functions allow the specification of a
+type and mask flag. Both parameters have the following meaning (and are
+therefore not covered in the subsequent sections).
+
+The type flag specifies the type of the cipher algorithm. The caller usually
+provides a 0 when the caller wants the default handling. Otherwise, the caller
+may provide the following selections which match the the aforementioned cipher
+types:
+
+ * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_CIPHER
+ * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_COMPRESS
+ * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AEAD
+ * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_BLKCIPHER
+ * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_ABLKCIPHER
+ * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_GIVCIPHER
+ * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_DIGEST
+ * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_SHASH
+ * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AHASH
+ * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_RNG
+ * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_PCOMPRESS
+
+The mask flag restricts the type of cipher. The only allowed flag is
+CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC to restrict the cipher lookup function to asynchronous ciphers.
+Usually, a caller provides a 0 for the mask flag.
+
+Raw cipher API
+==============
+
+#include <linux/crypto.h>
+
+struct crypto_cipher *crypto_alloc_cipher(const char *alg_name, u32 type,
+ u32 mask)
+
+Allocate a cipher handle for a raw cipher. The returned struct crypto_cipher is
+the cipher handle that is required for any operation with that raw cipher.
+
+alg_name is the name or driver name of the raw cipher.
+
+If an error occurs during this call, PTR_ERR() returns the error code.
+
+
+void crypto_free_cipher(struct crypto_cipher *tfm)
+
+The referenced raw cipher handle is zeroized and subsequently freed.
+
+
+int crypto_has_cipher(const char *alg_name, u32 type, u32 mask)
+
+Return true when the raw cipher with the given alg_name and type/mask flags is
+known to the kernel crypto API. Otherwise return false.
+
+
+int crypto_cipher_blocksize(struct crypto_cipher *tfm)
+
+The block size for the raw cipher referenced with the cipher handle tfm is
+returned.
+
+
+int crypto_cipher_setkey(struct crypto_cipher *tfm, const u8 *key,
+ unsigned int keylen)
+
+The caller provided key referenced with buffer key and the buffer length of
+keylen is set with the raw cipher referenced by the cipher handle tfm. If the
+setting of the key was successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative
+error code is returned.
+
+
+void crypto_cipher_encrypt_one(struct crypto_cipher *tfm, u8 *dst,
+ const u8 *src)
+
+The raw cipher referenced with tfm is used to encrypt one block of the plaintext
+data pointed to by src and places the ciphertext data into the dst buffer.
+
+
+void crypto_cipher_decrypt_one(struct crypto_cipher *tfm, u8 *dst,
+ const u8 *src)
+
+The raw cipher referenced with tfm is used to decrypt one block of the plaintext
+data pointed to by src and places the ciphertext data into the dst buffer.
+
+
+Synchronous block cipher API
+============================
+
+Synchronous calls, have a context in the tfm. But since a single tfm can be used
+in multiple calls and in parallel, this info should not be changeable (unless a
+lock is used). This applies, for example, to the symmetric key. However, the iv
+is changeable, so there is an iv field in blkcipher_tfm structure for
+synchronous blkcipher api. So, its the only state info that can be kept for
+synchronous calls without using a big lock across a tfm.
+
+#include <linux/crypto.h>
+
+struct crypto_blkcipher *crypto_alloc_blkcipher(const char *alg_name, u32 type,
+ u32 mask)
+
+Allocate a cipher handle for a block cipher. The returned struct
+crypto_blkcipher is the cipher handle that is required for any operation with
+that block cipher.
+
+alg_name is the name or driver name of the block cipher.
+
+If an error occurs during this call, PTR_ERR() returns the error code.
+
+
+void crypto_free_blkcipher(struct crypto_blkcipher *tfm)
+
+The referenced block cipher handle is zeroized and subsequently freed.
+
+
+char *crypto_blkcipher_name(struct crypto_blkcipher *tfm)
+
+Obtain the generic name of the block cipher referenced by the handle.
+
+
+int crypto_has_blkcipher(const char *alg_name, u32 type, u32 mask)
+
+Return true when the block cipher with the given alg_name and type/mask flags is
+known to the kernel crypto API. Otherwise return false.
+
+
+unsigned int crypto_blkcipher_ivsize(struct crypto_blkcipher *tfm)
+
+The size of the IV for the block cipher referenced by the cipher handle tfm is
+returned. This IV size may be zero if the cipher does not need an IV.
+
+
+unsigned int crypto_blkcipher_blocksize(struct crypto_blkcipher *tfm)
+
+The block size for the block cipher referenced with the cipher handle tfm is
+returned.
+
+
+int crypto_blkcipher_setkey(struct crypto_blkcipher *tfm, const u8 *key,
+ unsigned int keylen)
+
+The caller provided key referenced with buffer key and the buffer length of
+keylen is set with the block cipher referenced by the cipher handle tfm. If the
+setting of the key was successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative
+error code is returned.
+
+
+int crypto_blkcipher_encrypt(struct blkcipher_desc *desc,
+ struct scatterlist *dst,
+ struct scatterlist *src,
+ unsigned int nbytes)
+
+The block cipher referenced with desc is used to encrypt nbytes bytes of the
+plaintext data pointed to by the scatter/gather list src and places the
+ciphertext data into the dst scatter/gather list. If the encryption was
+successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative error code is returned.
+
+The caller must fill desc as follows:
+
+ * desc.tfm is filled with the block cipher handle
+ * desc.flags is filled with either CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP or 0
+
+
+int crypto_blkcipher_encrypt_iv(struct blkcipher_desc *desc,
+ struct scatterlist *dst,
+ struct scatterlist *src,
+ unsigned int nbytes)
+
+The block cipher referenced with desc is used to encrypt nbytes bytes of the
+plaintext data pointed to by the scatter/gather list src and places the
+ciphertext data into the dst scatter/gather list. If the encryption was
+successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative error code is returned.
+Note, setting the IV with the API call of crypto_blkcipher_set_iv is not
+required before invoking crypto_blkcipher_encrypt_iv.
+
+The caller must fill desc as follows:
+
+ * desc.tfm is filled with the block cipher handle
+ * desc.info is filled with the IV to be used for the current operation
+ * desc.flags is filled with either CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP or 0
+
+
+int crypto_blkcipher_decrypt(struct blkcipher_desc *desc,
+ struct scatterlist *dst,
+ struct scatterlist *src,
+ unsigned int nbytes)
+
+The block cipher referenced with desc is used to decrypt nbytes bytes of the
+plaintext data pointed to by the scatter/gather list src and places the
+ciphertext data into the dst scatter/gather list. If the decryption was
+successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative error code is returned.
+
+The caller must fill desc as follows:
+
+ * desc.tfm is filled with the block cipher handle
+ * desc.flags is filled with either CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP or 0
+
+
+int crypto_blkcipher_decrypt_iv(struct blkcipher_desc *desc,
+ struct scatterlist *dst,
+ struct scatterlist *src,
+ unsigned int nbytes)
+
+The block cipher referenced with desc is used to decrypt nbytes bytes of the
+plaintext data pointed to by the scatter/gather list src and places the
+ciphertext data into the dst scatter/gather list. If the decryption was
+successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative error code is returned.
+Note, setting the IV with the API call of crypto_blkcipher_set_iv is not
+required before invoking crypto_blkcipher_decrypt_iv.
+
+The caller must fill desc as follows:
+
+ * desc.tfm is filled with the block cipher handle
+ * desc.info is filled with the IV to be used for the current operation
+ * desc.flags is filled with either CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP or 0
+
+
+void crypto_blkcipher_set_iv(struct crypto_blkcipher *tfm, const u8 *src,
+ unsigned int len)
+
+The caller uses this function to set the IV pointed to by the src buffer of len
+length for the block cipher referenced by the tfm cipher handle.
+
+
+void crypto_blkcipher_get_iv(struct crypto_blkcipher *tfm, u8 *dst,
+ unsigned int len)
+
+The caller uses this function to obtain the IV set for the block cipher
+referenced by the tfm cipher handle and store it into the user-provided buffer
+dst which has a length of len.
+
+
+Example code
+------------
+
+#include <linux/crypto.h>
+#include <linux/scatterlist.h> /* scatterlist API */
+#include <linux/random.h> /* needed for get_random_bytes */

+ unsigned int ivsize = 0;
+ char *scratchpad = NULL; /*

+ */
+ struct scatterlist sg;

+
+ blkcipher = crypto_alloc_blkcipher(cipher, 0, 0);
+ if (IS_ERR(blkcipher)) {

+ return -PTR_ERR(blkcipher);
+ }
+
+ if (crypto_blkcipher_setkey(blkcipher, key, strlen(key))) {
+ printk("key could not be set\n");
+ ret = -EAGAIN;
+ goto out;
+ }
+
+ ivsize = crypto_blkcipher_ivsize(blkcipher);
+ if (ivsize) {
+ if (ivsize != strlen(iv))
+ printk("IV length differs from expected length\n");
+ crypto_blkcipher_set_iv(blkcipher, iv, ivsize);
+ }
+
+ scratchpad = kmalloc(crypto_blkcipher_blocksize(blkcipher), GFP_KERNEL);

+ return 0;
+
+out:
+ if (blkcipher)
+ crypto_free_blkcipher(blkcipher);
+ if (scratchpad)
+ kzfree(scratchpad);
+ return ret;
+}
+
+
+Asynchronous block cipher API
+=============================
+
+For the synchronous block cipher API, the discussion of the state maintenance
+shows that the state is kept with the tfm handle. However, for asynchronous
+blkcipher calls, context can be in tfm and in the request. Again, a single tfm
+can be used across multiple calls and in parallel. The ablkcipher_request
+structure stores the IV as discussed below and can store additional state info
+in the context field. This would be important for a crypto driver implementer to
+know, because the driver may need to store certain state information. That
+context data field is unused by the kernel crypto API.
+
+#include <linux/crypto.h>
+
+struct crypto_ablkcipher *crypto_alloc_ablkcipher(const char *alg_name,
+ u32 type, u32 mask)
+
+Allocate a cipher handle for an asynchronous block cipher. The returned struct
+crypto_ablkcipher is the cipher handle that is required for any operation with
+that block cipher.
+
+alg_name is the name or driver name of the block cipher of type "ablkcipher".
+
+If an error occurs during this call, PTR_ERR() returns the error code.
+
+
+void crypto_free_ablkcipher(struct crypto_ablkcipher *tfm)
+
+The referenced block cipher handle is zeroized and subsequently freed.
+
+
+int crypto_has_ablkcipher(const char *alg_name, u32 type,
+ u32 mask)
+
+Return true when the block cipher with the given alg_name and type/mask flags is
+known to the kernel crypto API. Otherwise return false.
+
+
+unsigned int crypto_ablkcipher_ivsize(struct crypto_ablkcipher *tfm)
+
+The size of the IV for the block cipher referenced by the cipher handle tfm is
+returned. This IV size may be zero if the cipher does not need an IV.
+
+
+unsigned int crypto_ablkcipher_blocksize(struct crypto_ablkcipher *tfm)
+
+The block size for the block cipher referenced with the cipher handle tfm is
+returned.
+
+
+int crypto_ablkcipher_setkey(struct crypto_ablkcipher *tfm,
+ const u8 *key, unsigned int keylen)
+
+The caller provided key referenced with buffer key and the buffer length of
+keylen is set with the block cipher referenced by the cipher handle tfm. If the
+setting of the key was successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative
+error code is returned.
+
+
+int crypto_ablkcipher_encrypt(struct ablkcipher_request *req)
+
+The block cipher referenced with the ablkcipher_request is used to encrypt
+the data referenced in the ablkcipher_request. Please see below for the
+discussion on creating the ablkcipher_request. If the encryption was
+successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative error code is returned.
+
+
+void *crypto_ablkcipher_ctx(struct crypto_ablkcipher *tfm)
+
+This function accesses the tfm's context to allow the caller to set
+or retrieve the context information. The data type of the pointer must be
+determined by the caller. The kernel crypto API does not use this context
+information. This context information is intended to be used by crypto driver
+implementations and NOT for normal kernel crypto API users.
+
+
+int crypto_ablkcipher_decrypt(struct ablkcipher_request *req)
+
+The block cipher referenced with the ablkcipher_request is used to decrypt
+the data referenced in the ablkcipher_request. Please see below for the
+discussion on creating the ablkcipher_request. If the decryption was
+successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative error code is returned.
+
+
+Generating the ablkcipher_request data structure
+------------------------------------------------
+
+The ablkcipher_request data structure contains all pointers for the asynchronous
+cipher operation. This includes the cipher handle, pointer to plaintext and
+ciphertext, asynchronous callback function, etc.
+
+struct ablkcipher_request *ablkcipher_request_alloc(
+ struct crypto_ablkcipher *tfm, gfp_t gfp)
+
+This function performs the allocation of the data structure ablkcipher_request
+and registers the block cipher handle tfm with the request data structure. The
+gfp parameter requires the caller to specify the memory allocation flag
+(typically GFP_KERNEL). If an error occurs during this call, PTR_ERR() returns
+the error code.
+
+
+void ablkcipher_request_free(struct ablkcipher_request *req)
+
+The referenced ablkcipher_request handle is zeroized and subsequently freed.
+
+
+void ablkcipher_request_set_tfm(struct ablkcipher_request *req,
+ struct crypto_ablkcipher *tfm)
+
+This function allows the caller to set a block cipher handle with the
+ablkcipher_request.
+
+
+void ablkcipher_request_set_callback(struct ablkcipher_request *req,
+ u32 flags, crypto_completion_t complete,
+ void *data)
+
+This function sets the callback function which is invoked once the cipher
+operation is completed. The callback function is registered with the
+ablkcipher_request and must comply with the following template:
+
+ void callback_function(struct crypto_async_request *req, int error)
+
+This callback function is to be pointed to using the complete parameter. The
+"flags" parameter may specify zero or more of the following flags:
+
+ * CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG: the request queue may back log and
+ increase the wait queue beyond the initial maximum size
+ * CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP: the request processing may sleep
+
+The "data" pointer refers to memory that is not used by the kernel crypto API,
+but provided to the callback function for it to use. Here, the caller can
+provide a reference to memory the callback function can operate on. As the
+callback function is invoked asynchronously to the related functionality, it may
+need to access data structures of the related functionality which can be
+referenced using this pointer. The callback function can access the memory via
+the "data" field in the crypto_async_request structure.
+
+
+void ablkcipher_request_set_crypt(struct ablkcipher_request *req,
+ struct scatterlist *src,
+ struct scatterlist *dst,
+ unsigned int nbytes, void *iv)
+
+By using this call, the caller sets the source and destination scatter /
+gather lists. For encryption, the source is treated as the plaintext and the
+destination is the ciphertext. For a decryption operation, the use is
+reversed: the source is the ciphertext and the destination is the plaintext. The
+number of bytes to process from source is referenced with the "nbytes"
+parameter. The IV is set for the cipher operation using the "iv" parameter.
+
+
+void *ablkcipher_request_ctx(struct ablkcipher_request *req)
+
+This function accesses the request's context to allow the caller to set
+or retrieve the context information. The data type of the pointer must be
+determined by the caller. The kernel crypto API does not use this context
+information. This context information is intended to be used by crypto driver
+implementations and NOT for normal kernel crypto API users.
+

+Synchronous message digest API
+==============================
+
+#include <linux/crypto.h>
+
+struct crypto_hash *crypto_alloc_hash(const char *alg_name, u32 type, u32 mask)
+
+Allocate a cipher handle for a hash. The returned struct crypto_hash is the
+cipher handle that is required for any operation with that hash cipher.
+
+alg_name is the name or driver name of the hash of type "shash".
+
+If an error occurs during this call, PTR_ERR() returns the error code.
+
+
+void crypto_free_hash(struct crypto_hash *tfm)
+
+The referenced hash cipher handle is zeroized and subsequently freed.
+
+
+int crypto_hash_blocksize(struct crypto_hash *tfm)
+
+The block size for the hash referenced with the cipher handle tfm is returned.
+
+
+int crypto_hash_digestsize(struct crypto_hash *tfm)
+
+The message digest size for the hash referenced with the cipher handle tfm is
+returned.
+
+
+int crypto_hash_setkey(struct crypto_hash *hash, const u8 *key,
+ unsigned int keylen)
+
+The caller provided key referenced with buffer key and the buffer length of
+keylen is set with the hash referenced by the cipher handle "hash". The cipher
+handle must point to a keyed hash in order for this function to succeed. If the
+setting of the key was successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative
+error code is returned.
+
+
+
+int crypto_hash_init(struct hash_desc *desc)
+
+The call (re-)initializes the hash referenced by the desc handle. Any
+potentially existing state created by previous operations is discarded.
+
+The caller must fill desc as follows:
+
+ * desc.tfm is filled with the hash cipher handle
+ * desc.flags is filled with either CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP or 0
+
+The function returns 0 on success. In case of an error, it returns the negative
+error value.
+
+
+int crypto_hash_update(struct hash_desc *desc, struct scatterlist *sg, unsigned
+ int nbytes)
+
+The invocation of crypto_hash_update updates the hash state of the hash cipher
+handle pointed to by desc and the input data pointed to by the scatter/gather
+list sg. Only nbytes of the input data is processed. The function returns 0 on
+success. In case of an error, it returns the negative error value.
+
+
+int crypto_hash_final(struct hash_desc *desc, u8 *out)
+
+With this function, the message digest of the hash state pointed to by desc is
+calculated and placed into the out buffer. The caller must ensure that the out
+buffer has a sufficient size (e.g. by using the crypto_hash_digestsize
+function). The function returns 0 on success. In case of an error, it returns
+the negative error value.
+
+
+int crypto_hash_digest(struct hash_desc *desc, struct scatterlist *sg,
+ unsigned int nbytes, u8 *out)
+
+This function is a "short-hand" for the function calls of crypto_hash_init,
+crypto_hash_update and crypto_hash_final. The parameters have the same meaning
+as discussed for those separate three functions. The function returns 0 on
+success. In case of an error, it returns the negative error value.
+
+
+Synchronous message digest API with caller-accessible state space
+=================================================================
+
+Considering the discussion of the state maintenance for the block cipher API
+the message digest API is also able to maintain state information for the
+caller. Though, the maintenance of the state is a bit different for the message
+digest API, as both the synchronous and asynchronous message digest APIs
+can store additional context info.
+
+The synchronous message digest API can store user-related context in in its
+shash_desc data structure. Again, this would be important for someone writing a
+crypto driver, with a hash update call where the state can change each time
+update is called.
+
+
+#include <crypto/hash.h>
+
+struct crypto_shash *crypto_alloc_shash(const char *alg_name, u32 type,
+ u32 mask)
+
+Allocate a cipher handle for a hash. The returned struct crypto_shash is the
+cipher handle that is required for any operation with that hash cipher.
+
+alg_name is the name or driver name of the hash of type "shash".
+
+If an error occurs during this call, PTR_ERR() returns the error code.
+
+
+void crypto_free_shash(struct crypto_shash *tfm)
+
+The referenced hash cipher handle is zeroized and subsequently freed.
+
+
+unsigned int crypto_shash_blocksize(struct crypto_shash *tfm)
+
+The block size for the hash referenced with the cipher handle tfm is returned.
+
+
+unsigned int crypto_shash_digestsize(struct crypto_shash *tfm)
+
+The message digest size for the hash referenced with the cipher handle tfm is
+returned.
+
+
+unsigned int crypto_shash_descsize(struct crypto_shash *tfm)
+
+The size of the operational state the cipher needs during operation is returned
+for the hash referenced with the cipher handle tfm.
+
+
+int crypto_shash_setkey(struct crypto_shash *tfm, const u8 *key,
+ unsigned int keylen);
+
+The caller provided key referenced with buffer key and the buffer length of
+keylen is set with the hash referenced by the cipher handle tfm. This call turns
+the message digest operation into a keyed message digest operation. If the
+setting of the key was successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative
+error code is returned.
+
+
+int crypto_shash_init(struct shash_desc *desc)
+
+The call (re-)initializes the hash referenced by the desc handle. Any
+potentially existing state created by previous operations is discarded.
+
+
+int crypto_shash_update(struct shash_desc *desc, const u8 *data,
+ unsigned int len)
+
+The invocation of crypto_shash_update updates the hash state of the hash cipher
+handle pointed to by desc (see below for a description of this data structure)
+and the input data pointed to by the "data" pointer. "len" specifies the size of
+"data" in bytes The function returns 0 on success. In case of an error, it
+returns the negative error value.
+
+
+int crypto_shash_final(struct shash_desc *desc, u8 *out)
+
+With this function, the message digest of the hash state pointed to by desc is
+calculated and placed into the out buffer. The caller must ensure that the out
+buffer has a sufficient size (e.g. by using the crypto_shash_digestsize
+function). The function returns 0 on success. In case of an error, it returns
+the negative error value.
+
+
+int crypto_shash_digest(struct shash_desc *desc, const u8 *data,
+ unsigned int len, u8 *out);
+
+This function returns the message digest of the input data pointed to by the
+buffer data that has the length len. The message digest is copied to the out
+buffer that must be allocated by the caller and must have sufficient space (e.g.
+the caller used crypto_shash_digestsize to determine its size). In essence,
+this function is a "short-hand" for the function call combination of
+crypto_shash_update and crypto_shash_final. The function returns 0 on success.
+In case of an error, it returns the negative error value.
+
+The hash cipher handle shash_desc must be allocated by the caller and must have
+sufficient space adjacent to the shash_desc pointer for the state of the hash
+cipher operation. The following code snippet can be used to allocate the memory.
+
+struct sdesc {
+ struct shash_desc shash;
+ char ctx[];
+};
+
+static struct sdesc *init_sdesc(struct crypto_shash *alg)
+{
+ struct sdesc *sdesc;
+ int size;
+
+ size = sizeof(struct shash_desc) + crypto_shash_descsize(alg);
+ sdesc = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
+ if (!sdesc)
+ return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
+ sdesc->shash.tfm = alg;
+ sdesc->shash.flags = 0x0;
+ return sdesc;
+}
+
+static int calc_hash(const unsigned char *data, unsigned int datalen,
+ unsigned char *digest) {
+ struct sdesc *sdesc;
+ int ret;
+
+ sdesc = init_sdesc(hashalg);
+ if (IS_ERR(sdesc)) {
+ pr_info("trusted_key: can't alloc %s\n", hash_alg);
+ return PTR_ERR(sdesc);
+ }
+
+ ret = crypto_shash_digest(&sdesc->shash, data, datalen, digest);
+ kfree(sdesc);
+ return ret;
+}
+
+
+void *shash_desc_ctx(struct shash_desc *desc)
+
+This function accesses the desc's context to allow the caller to set
+or retrieve the context information. The data type of the pointer must be
+determined by the caller. The kernel crypto API does not use this context
+information. This context information is intended to be used by crypto driver
+implementations and NOT for normal kernel crypto API users.
+
+
+int crypto_shash_export(struct shash_desc *desc, void *out)
+
+This function exports the hash state of the cipher handle desc into the
+caller-allocated output buffer out which must have sufficient size (e.g. by
+calling crypto_shash_descsize). The function returns 0 on success. In case of an
+error, it returns the negative error value.
+
+
+int crypto_shash_import(struct shash_desc *desc, const void *in)
+
+This function imports the hash state of the cipher handle desc from the input
+buffer in. The function returns 0 on success. In case of an error, it returns
+the negative error value.
+
+
+Asynchronous message digest API
+===============================
+
+The asynchronous message digest API can store user-related context in in its
+ahash_desc data structure. Again, this would be important for someone writing a
+crypto driver, with a hash update call where the state can change each time
+update is called.
+
+
+#include <crypto/hash.h>
+
+struct crypto_ahash *crypto_alloc_ahash(const char *alg_name, u32 type,
+ u32 mask)
+
+Allocate a cipher handle for a hash. The returned struct crypto_ahash is the
+cipher handle that is required for any operation with that hash cipher.
+
+alg_name is the name or driver name of the hash of type "ahash".
+
+If an error occurs during this call, PTR_ERR() returns the error code.
+
+
+static inline void crypto_free_ahash(struct crypto_ahash *tfm)
+
+The referenced hash cipher handle is zeroized and subsequently freed.
+
+
+unsigned int crypto_ahash_digestsize(struct crypto_ahash *tfm)
+
+The message digest size for the hash referenced with the cipher handle tfm is
+returned.
+
+
+unsigned int crypto_ahash_reqsize(struct crypto_ahash *tfm)
+
+The size of the operational state the cipher needs during operation is returned
+for the hash referenced with the cipher handle tfm.
+
+
+int crypto_ahash_setkey(struct crypto_ahash *tfm, const u8 *key,
+ unsigned int keylen)
+
+The caller provided key referenced with buffer key and the buffer length of
+keylen is set with the hash referenced by the cipher handle tfm. This call turns
+the message digest operation into a keyed message digest operation. If the
+setting of the key was successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative
+error code is returned.
+
+
+int crypto_ahash_digest(struct ahash_request *req)
+
+The hash referenced with with the ahash_request is used to calculate the message
+digest of the data referenced in the ahash_request. Please see below for the
+discussion on creating the ahash_request. If the message digest generation was
+successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative error code is returned.
+
+
+int crypto_ahash_init(struct ahash_request *req)
+
+The call (re-)initializes the hash referenced by the ahash_request handle.
+Please see below for the discussion on creating the ahash_request. Any
+potentially existing state created by previous operations is discarded. The
+function returns 0 on success. In case of an error, it returns the negative
+error value.
+
+int crypto_ahash_update(struct ahash_request *req)
+
+The invocation of crypto_hash_update updates the hash state of the ahash_request
+handle pointed to by req. This request handle contains the reference to the
+input data to be added to the message digest via a the scatter/gather list.
+Please see below for the discussion on maintaining the ahash_request data
+structure. The function returns 0 on success. In case of an error, it returns
+the negative error value.
+
+
+int crypto_ahash_final(struct ahash_request *req)
+
+With this function, the message digest of the hash state pointed to by
+ahash_request is calculated and placed into the output buffer referenced in the
+request handle. The function returns 0 on success. In case of an error, it
+returns the negative error value.
+
+
+int crypto_ahash_finup(struct ahash_request *req)
+
+The combination of the crypto_ahash_update and crypto_ahash_final is invoked
+with this function. Therefore the caller only needs one invocation to update and
+finalize the message digest calculation. The function returns 0 on success. In
+case of an error, it returns the negative error value.
+
+
+int crypto_ahash_export(struct ahash_request *req, void *out)
+
+This function exports the hash state of the request handle req into the
+caller-allocated output buffer out which must have sufficient size (e.g. by
+calling crypto_ahash_reqsize). The function returns 0 on success. In case of an
+error, it returns the negative error value.
+
+
+int crypto_ahash_import(struct ahash_request *req, const void *in)
+
+This function imports the hash state of the request handle req from the input
+buffer in. The function returns 0 on success. In case of an error, it returns
+the negative error value.
+
+
+Generating the ahash_request data structure
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The ahash_request data structure contains all pointers for the asynchronous
+cipher operation. This includes the cipher handle, pointer to input data and
+message digest buffer, asynchronous callback function, etc. This data structure
+is conceptually very similar to the ablkcipher_request discussed above.
+
+struct ahash_request *ahash_request_alloc(struct crypto_ahash *tfm, gfp_t gfp)
+
+This function performs the allocation of the data structure ahash_request and
+registers the hash cipher handle tfm with the request data structure. If an
+error occurs during this call, PTR_ERR() returns the error code.
+
+
+void ahash_request_free(struct ahash_request *req)
+
+The referenced ablkcipher_request handle is zeroized and subsequently freed.
+
+
+void ahash_request_set_tfm(struct ahash_request *req, struct crypto_ahash *tfm)
+
+This function allows the caller to set a hash cipher handle with the
+ahash_request.
+
+
+void ahash_request_set_callback(struct ahash_request *req,
+ u32 flags,
+ crypto_completion_t complete,
+ void *data)
+
+This function sets the callback function which is invoked once the cipher
+operation is completed. The callback function is registered with the
+ahash_request and must comply with the following template:
+
+ void callback_function(struct crypto_async_request *req, int error)
+
+This callback function is to be pointed to using the complete parameter. The
+flags parameter may specify zero or more of the following flags:
+
+ * CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG: the request queue may back log and
+ increase the wait queue beyond the initial maximum size
+ * CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP: the request processing may sleep
+
+The data pointer refers to memory that is not used by the kernel crypto API, but
+provided to the callback function. Here, the caller can provide a reference to
+memory the callback function can operate on.
+
+
+void ahash_request_set_crypt(struct ahash_request *req,
+ struct scatterlist *src, u8 *result,
+ unsigned int nbytes)
+
+By using this call, the caller references the source and destination scatter /
+gather lists. The number of bytes to process from source is referenced with the
+nbytes parameter. The message digest is written to the buffer pointed to by the
+result pointer. The caller must ensure that the buffer has sufficient space by,
+for example, calling crypto_ahash_digestsize.
+
+
+void *ahash_request_ctx(struct ahash_request *req)
+
+This function accesses the request's context to allow the caller to set
+or retrieve the context information. The data type of the pointer must be
+determined by the caller. The kernel crypto API does not use this context
+information. This context information is intended to be used by crypto driver
+implementations and NOT for normal kernel crypto API users.
+
+
+Example code
+------------
+
+The example code given for the asynchronous block cipher operation can be used
+as a template where the ablkcipher function calls are swapped with ahash
+function calls.
+
+
+Random number generation API
+============================
+
+#include <crypto/rng.h>
+
+struct crypto_rng *crypto_alloc_rng(const char *alg_name, u32 type, u32 mask)
+
+Allocate a cipher handle for a random number generator. The returned struct
+crypto_rng is the cipher handle that is required for any operation with that
+random number generator. For all random number generators, this call creates a
+new private copy of the random number generator that does not share a state with
+other instances. The only exception is the "krng" random number generator which
+is a kernel crypto API use case for the get_random_bytes() function of the
+/dev/random driver.
+
+alg_name is the name or driver name of the random number generator.
+
+If an error occurs during this call, PTR_ERR() returns the error code.
+
+
+void crypto_free_rng(struct crypto_rng *tfm)
+
+The referenced random number cipher handle is zeroized and subsequently freed.
+
+
+int crypto_rng_get_bytes(struct crypto_rng *tfm, u8 *rdata, unsigned int dlen)
+
+This function fills the caller-allocated buffer rdata that has the length of
+dlen with random numbers using the random number generator referenced by the tfm
+cipher handle.
+
+The function returns the number of generated random bytes. In case of an error,
+it returns the negative error value.
+
+
+int crypto_rng_reset(struct crypto_rng *tfm, u8 *seed, unsigned int slen)
+
+The reset function completely re-initializes the random number generator
+referenced by the tfm cipher handle by clearing the current state. The new state
+is initialized with the caller provided seed provided in the seed buffer of slen
+length. The provided seed should have the length of the seed size defined for
+the random number generator.
+
+The function returns 0 on success. In case of an error, it returns the negative
+error value.
+
+
+int crypto_rng_seedsize(struct crypto_rng *tfm)
+
+The function returns the seed size for the random number generator referenced by
+the tfm cipher handle.
+
+
+Example code
+------------
+
+static int get_random_numbers(u8 *buf, unsigned int len)
+{
+ struct crypto_rng *rng = NULL;
+ char *drbg = "drbg_nopr_sha256"; /* Hash DRBG with SHA-256, no PR */
+ int ret;
+
+ if (!buf || !len) {
+ pr_debug("No output buffer provided\n");
+ return -EINVAL;
+ }
+
+ rng = crypto_alloc_rng(drbg, 0, 0);
+ if (IS_ERR(rng)) {
+ pr_debug("could not allocate RNG handle for %s\n", drbg);
+ return -PTR_ERR(rng);
+ }
+
+ ret = crypto_rng_get_bytes(rng, buf, len);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ pr_debug("generation of random numbers failed\n");
+ else if (ret == 0)
+ pr_debug("RNG returned no data");
+ else
+ pr_debug("RNG returned %d bytes of data\n", ret);
+
+out:
+ crypto_free_rng(rng);
+ return ret;
+}
+
+AEAD asynchronous cipher API
+============================
+
+The kernel supports Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data. The most
+prominent examples for this type of encryption is GCM and CCM. However, the
+kernel supports other types of AEAD ciphers which are defined with the
+following cipher string:
+
+ authenc(<keyed message digest>, <block cipher>)
+
+For example: authenc(hmac(sha256), cbc(aes))
+
+
+#include <linux/crypto.h>
+
+struct crypto_aead *crypto_alloc_aead(const char *alg_name, u32 type, u32 mask)
+
+Allocate a cipher handle for the AEAD cipher. The returned struct crypto_aead is
+the cipher handle that is required for any operation with that AEAD cipher.
+
+alg_name is the name or driver name of the hash of type "aead".
+
+If an error occurs during this call, PTR_ERR() returns the error code.
+
+
+void crypto_free_aead(struct crypto_aead *tfm)
+
+The referenced AEAD cipher handle is zeroized and subsequently freed.
+
+
+unsigned int crypto_aead_ivsize(struct crypto_aead *tfm)
+
+The size of the IV for the AEAD cipher referenced by the cipher handle tfm is
+returned. This IV size may be zero if the cipher does not need an IV.
+
+
+unsigned int crypto_aead_authsize(struct crypto_aead *tfm)
+
+The maximum size of the authentication data for the AEAD cipher referenced by
+the cipher handle tfm is returned. The authentication data size may be zero if
+the cipher implements a hard-coded maximum.
+
+
+unsigned int crypto_aead_blocksize(struct crypto_aead *tfm)
+
+The block size for the AEAD cipher referenced with the cipher handle tfm is
+returned.
+
+
+int crypto_aead_setkey(struct crypto_aead *tfm, const u8 *key,
+ unsigned int keylen)
+
+The caller provided key referenced with buffer key and the buffer length of
+keylen is set with the AEAD cipher referenced by the cipher handle tfm. If the
+setting of the key was successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative
+error code is returned.
+
+
+int crypto_aead_encrypt(struct aead_request *req)
+
+The AEAD cipher referenced with the aead_request is used to encrypt the data
+referenced in the aead_request. Please see below for the discussion on creating
+the aead_request. During the encryption operation, the ciphertext as well as
+the associated data is generated.
+
+The created authentication tag is concatenated with the ciphertext. The
+caller must ensure that sufficient memory is available for the ciphertext and
+the authentication tag.
+
+If the encryption was successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative
+error code is returned.
+
+
+int crypto_aead_decrypt(struct aead_request *req)
+
+The AEAD cipher referenced with the aead_request is used to decrypt the data
+referenced in the aead_request. Please see below for the discussion on creating
+the aead_request. If the encryption was successful, the function returns 0.
+Otherwise a negative error code is returned.
+
+The caller must concatenate the ciphertext followed by the authentication tag.
+
+The AEAD cipher operation performs the authentication of the data during the
+decryption operation. Therefore, the crypto_aead_decrypt returns the error of
+-EBADMSG if the authentication of the ciphertext was unsuccessful (i.e. the
+integrity of the ciphertext or the associated data was violated).
+
+
+int crypto_aead_setauthsize(struct crypto_aead *tfm, unsigned int authsize)
+
+Set the Authentication Tag size. AEAD requires an authentication tag (or MAC)
+in addition to the associated data. The authentication tag is appended
+to the ciphertext. If the setting of the authentication data size was
+successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise a negative error code is returned
+(e.g. set authentication data size is larger than maximum authentication data
+size).
+
+
+Generating the aead_request data structure
+------------------------------------------
+
+The aead_request data structure contains all pointers for the asynchronous
+cipher operation. This includes the cipher handle, pointer to plaintext and
+ciphertext, associated data, asynchronous callback function, etc.
+
+struct aead_request *aead_request_alloc(struct crypto_aead *tfm, gfp_t gfp)
+
+This function performs the allocation of the data structure aead_request
+and registers the AEAD cipher handle tfm with the request data structure. The
+gfp parameter requires the caller to specify the memory allocation flag
+(typically GFP_KERNEL). If an error occurs during this call, PTR_ERR() returns
+the error code.
+
+
+void aead_request_free(struct aead_request *req)
+
+The referenced aead_request handle is zeroized and subsequently freed.
+
+
+void aead_request_set_tfm(struct aead_request *req, struct crypto_aead *tfm)
+
+This function allows the caller to set a block cipher handle with the
+aead_request.
+
+
+void aead_request_set_callback(struct aead_request *req, u32 flags,
+ crypto_completion_t complete, void *data)
+
+This function sets the callback function which is invoked once the cipher
+operation is completed. The callback function is registered with the
+ablkcipher_request and must comply with the following template:
+
+ void callback_function(struct crypto_async_request *req, int error)
+
+This callback function is to be pointed to using the complete parameter. The
+"flags" parameter may specify zero or more of the following flags:
+
+ * CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG: the request queue may back log and
+ increase the wait queue beyond the initial maximum size
+ * CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP: the request processing may sleep
+
+The "data" pointer refers to memory that is not used by the kernel crypto API,
+but provided to the callback function for it to use. Here, the caller can
+provide a reference to memory the callback function can operate on. As the
+callback function is invoked asynchronously to the related functionality, it may
+need to access data structures of the related functionality which can be
+referenced using this pointer. The callback function can access the memory via
+the "data" field in the crypto_async_request structure.
+
+
+void aead_request_set_crypt(struct aead_request *req,
+ struct scatterlist *src,
+ struct scatterlist *dst,
+ unsigned int cryptlen, u8 *iv)
+
+By using this call, the caller sets the source and destination scatter /
+gather lists. For encryption, the source is treated as the plaintext and the
+destination is the ciphertext. For a decryption operation, the use is
+reversed: the source is the ciphertext and the destination is the plaintext. The
+number of bytes to process from source is referenced with the "cryptlen"
+parameter. The IV is set for the cipher operation using the "iv" parameter.
+
+Important note: AEAD requires an authentication tag (MAC). For decryption, the
+caller must concatenate the ciphertext followed by the authentication tag and
+provide the entire data stream to the decryption operation (i.e. the data length
+used for the initialization of the scatterlist and the data length for the
+decryption operation is identical). For encryption, however, the authentication
+tag is created while encrypting the data. The destination buffer must hold
+sufficient space for the ciphertext and the authentication tag while the
+encryption invocation must only point to the plaintext data size. The following
+code snippet should illustrate that:
+
+/*
+ * sg is the pointer to plaintext and will hold the cipher text
+ * authsize is the size of the authentication tag
+ * enc is 1 for encryption, 0 for decryption
+ * ptbuf is the buffer with the plaintext
+ * ptbuflen is the plaintext buffer size
+ */
+buffer = kmalloc(ptbuflen + (enc ? authsize : 0));
+memcpy(buffer, ptbuf, ptbuflen);
+sg_init_one(&sg, buffer, ptbuflen + (enc ? authsize : 0));
+aead_request_set_crypt(req, &sg, &sg, ptbuflen, iv);
+
+
+void aead_request_set_assoc(struct aead_request *req,
+ struct scatterlist *assoc, unsigned int assoclen)
+
+The scatter / gather list "assoc" points to the associated data and "assoclen"
+specifies the size of the associated data.
+
+For encryption, the pointer must reference memory that is filled with the
+associated data. That associated data must be transported to the entity
+performing the AEAD decryption along with the ciphertext. For decryption, this
+function call allows the caller to set the pointer to the associated data for
+the integrity verification.
+
+
+Example code
+------------
+
+The example code provided for the asynchronous block cipher operation applies
+here as well. The only difference is that for the AEAD operation, the
+aead_request_set_assoc function must be used to set the associated data before
+performing the encryption or decryption operation.
+
+The second deviation from the asynchronous block cipher operation is that the
+caller should explicitly check for -EBADMSG of the crypto_aead_decrypt
+invocation to catch authentication errors.
+
+
+User space API
+==============
+
+The kernel crypto API is accessible from user space. Currently, the following
+ciphers are accessible:
+
+ * Message digest including keyed message digest
+
+ * Symmetric ciphers
+
+The interface is provided via Netlink using the type AF_ALG. In addition, the
+setsockopt option type is SOL_ALG. In case the user space header files do not
+export these flags yet, use the following macros:
+
+#ifndef AF_ALG
+#define AF_ALG 38
+#endif
+#ifndef SOL_ALG
+#define SOL_ALG 279
+#endif
+
+A cipher is accessed with the same name as done for the in-kernel API calls.
+
+To interact with the kernel crypto API, a Netlink socket must be created by
+the user space application. User space invokes the cipher operation with the
+send/write system call family. The result of the cipher operation is obtained
+with the read/recv system call family.
+
+The following API calls assume that the Netlink socket descriptor is already
+opened by the user space application and discusses only the kernel crypto API
+specific invocations.
+
+Message digest API
+------------------
+
+The message digest type to be used for the cipher operation is selected when
+invoking the bind syscall. bind requires the caller to provide a filled
+struct sockaddr data structure. This data structure must be filled as follows:
+
+struct sockaddr_alg sa = {
+ .salg_family = AF_ALG,
+ .salg_type = "hash", /* this selects the hash logic in the kernel */
+ .salg_nmae = "sha1" /* this is the cipher name */
+};
+
+Using the send() system call, the application provides the data that should be
+processed with the message digest. The send system call allows the following
+flags to be specified:
+
+ * MSG_MORE: If this flag is set, the send system call acts like a
+ message digest update function where the final hash is not
+ yet calculated. If the flag is not set, the send system call
+ calculates the final message digest immediately.
+
+With the read() system call, the application can read the message digest from
+the kernel crypto API. If the buffer is too small for the message digest, the
+flag MSG_TRUNC is set by the kernel.
+
+In order to set a message digest key, the calling application must use the
+setsockopt() option of ALG_SET_KEY.
+
+
+Symmetric cipher API
+--------------------
+
+The operation is very similar to the message digest discussion. During
+initialization, the struct sockaddr data structure must be filled as follows:
+
+struct sockaddr_alg sa = {
+ .salg_family = AF_ALG,
+ .salg_type = "skcipher", /* this selects the symmetric cipher */
+ .salg_name = "cbc(aes)" /* this is the cipher name */
+};
+
+Using the sendmsg() system call, the application provides the data that should
+be processed for encryption or decryption. In addition, the IV is specified
+with the data structure provided by the sendmsg() system call.
+
+The sendmsg system call parameter of struct msghdr is embedded into the
+struct cmsghdr data structure. See recv(2) and cmsg(3) for more information
+on how the cmsghdr data structure is used together with the send/recv system
+call family. That cmsghdr data structure holds the following information
+specified with a separate header instances:
+
+ * specification of the cipher operation type with one of these flags:
+ ALG_OP_ENCRYPT - encryption of data
+ ALG_OP_DECRYPT - decryption of data
+
+ * specification of the IV information marked with the flag ALG_SET_IV
+
+The send system call family allows the following flag to be specified:
+
+ * MSG_MORE: If this flag is set, the send system call acts like a
+ cipher update function where more input data is expected
+ with a subsequent invocation of the send system call.
+
+Note: The kernel reports -EINVAL for any unexpected data. The caller must
+make sure that all data matches the constraints given in /proc/crypto for the
+selected cipher.
+
+With the read() system call, the application can read the result of the
+cipher operation from the kernel crypto API. The output buffer must be at least
+as large as to hold all blocks of the encrypted or decrypted data. If the output
+data size is smaller, only the as many blocks are returned that fit into that
+output buffer size.
