Functions
int32_t	cipher_encrypt_ocb (const cipher_t cipher, const uint8_t auth_data, size_t auth_data_len, uint8_t tag_len, const uint8_t nonce, size_t nonce_len, const uint8_t input, size_t input_len, uint8_t *output)
	Encrypt and authenticate data of arbitrary length in OCB mode.

int32_t	cipher_decrypt_ocb (const cipher_t cipher, const uint8_t auth_data, size_t auth_data_len, uint8_t tag_len, const uint8_t nonce, size_t nonce_len, const uint8_t input, size_t input_len, uint8_t *output)
	Decrypt and verify the authentication of OCB encrypted data.

OCB error codes
#define	OCB_ERR_INVALID_NONCE_LENGTH (-2)
	Returned if a nonce of bad length (empty or more than 15 bytes) was used.

#define	OCB_ERR_INVALID_BLOCK_LENGTH (-3)
	OCB only works with ciphers with a block size of 128 bit.

#define	OCB_ERR_INVALID_DATA_LENGTH (-3)
	Returned if the amount of input data cannot be handled by this implementation.

#define	OCB_ERR_INVALID_TAG_LENGTH (-4)
	Returned if a tag of bad length was requested (empty or more than 16 bytes)

#define	OCB_ERR_INVALID_TAG (-5)
	Returned if the authentication failed during decryption.

Function Documentation

◆ cipher_decrypt_ocb()

int32_t cipher_decrypt_ocb	(	const cipher_t *	cipher,
		const uint8_t *	auth_data,
		size_t	auth_data_len,
		uint8_t	tag_len,
		const uint8_t *	nonce,
		size_t	nonce_len,
		const uint8_t *	input,
		size_t	input_len,
		uint8_t *	output )

Decrypt and verify the authentication of OCB encrypted data.

Parameters

cipher	Already initialized cipher struct
auth_data	Additional data to authenticate in MAC
auth_data_len	Length of additional data
tag_len	Length of the appended tag (at least 1, at most 16 bytes)
nonce	Nonce for the encryption (must be unique)
nonce_len	Length of the nonce in bytes (at most 15)
input	pointer to the ciphertext with the tag appended
input_len	length of the input data. input_len - tag_len must be smaller than INT32_MAX (2^31-1)
output	pointer to allocated memory for the plaintext data. It has to be of size input_len - tag_len. Will contain only zeroes, if the authentication fails.

Returns: Length of the plaintext data or a (negative) error code

◆ cipher_encrypt_ocb()

int32_t cipher_encrypt_ocb	(	const cipher_t *	cipher,
		const uint8_t *	auth_data,
		size_t	auth_data_len,
		uint8_t	tag_len,
		const uint8_t *	nonce,
		size_t	nonce_len,
		const uint8_t *	input,
		size_t	input_len,
		uint8_t *	output )

Encrypt and authenticate data of arbitrary length in OCB mode.
