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 its structure is given. Based on the architecture, + the API can be separated into different components. Following the + architecture specification, hints to developers of ciphers are + provided. Pointers to the API function call documentation are + given at the end. + + + + The kernel crypto API refers to all algorithms as "transformations". + Therefore, a cipher handle variable usually has the name "tfm". + Besides cryptographic operations, the kernel crypto API also knows + compression transformations and handles them the same way as ciphers. + + + + The kernel crypto API serves the following entity types: + + + + consumers requesting cryptographic services + + + data transformation implementations (typically ciphers) + that can be called by consumers using the kernel crypto + API + + + + + + This specification is intended for consumers of the kernel crypto + API as well as for developers implementing ciphers. This API + specification, however, does not discusses 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). + + + + Note: The terms "transformation" and cipher algorithm are used + interchangably. + + + + Terminology + + The transformation implementation is an actual code or interface + to hardware which implements a certain transformation with precisely + defined behavior. + + + + The transformation object (TFM) is an instance of a transformation + implementation. There can be multiple transformation objects + associated with a single transformation implementation. Each of + those transformation objects is held by a crypto API consumer or + another transformation. Transformation object is allocated when a + crypto API consumer requests a transformation implementation. + The consumer is then provided with a structure, which contains + a transformation object (TFM). + + + + The structure that contains transformation objects may also be + referred to as a "cipher handle". Such a cipher handle is always + subject to the following phases that are reflected in the API calls + applicable to such a cipher handle: + + + + + Initialization of a cipher handle. + + + Execution of all intended cipher operations applicable + for the handle where the cipher handle must be furnished to + every API call. + + + Destruction of a cipher handle. + + + + + When using the initialization API calls, a cipher handle is + created and returned to the consumer. Therefore, please refer + to all initialization API calls that refer to the data + structure type a consumer is expected to receive and subsequently + to use. The initialization API calls have all the same naming + conventions of crypto_alloc_*. + + + + The transformation context is private data associated with + the transformation object. + + + + + Kernel Crypto API Architecture + Cipher algorithm 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 single block + ciphers and message digests. In addition, the kernel crypto API + provides numerous "templates" that can be used in conjunction + with the single block ciphers and message digests. Templates + include all types of block chaining mode, the HMAC mechanism, etc. + + + + Single block ciphers and message digests can either be directly + used by a caller or invoked together with a template to form + multi-block ciphers or keyed message digests. + + + + A single block cipher may even be called with multiple templates. + However, templates cannot be used without a single cipher. + + + + See /proc/crypto and search for "name". For example: + + + aes + ecb(aes) + cmac(aes) + ccm(aes) + rfc4106(gcm(aes)) + sha1 + hmac(sha1) + authenc(hmac(sha1),cbc(aes)) + + + + + In these examples, "aes" and "sha1" are the ciphers and all + others are the templates. + + + + Synchronous And Asynchronous Operation + + The kernel crypto API provides synchronous and asynchronous + API operations. + + + + When using the synchronous API operation, 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 + operation, the set of API calls is small and conceptually + 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. + + + + Crypto API Cipher References And Priority + + A cipher is referenced by the caller with a string. That string + has the following semantics: + + + template(single block cipher) + + + where "template" and "single block cipher" is the aforementioned + template and single block cipher, respectively. If applicable, + additional templates may enclose other templates, such as + + + template1(template2(single block cipher))) + + + + + The kernel crypto API may provide multiple implementations of a + template or a single block cipher. For example, AES on newer + Intel 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. However, + that list does not specify all possible permutations of + templates and ciphers. Each block listed in /proc/crypto may + contain the following information -- if one of the components + listed as follows are not applicable to a cipher, it is not + displayed: + + + + + 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 (all names listed above are + examples for such generic names) + + + 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 consumers of this cipher) + + + selftest: specification whether the self test for the + cipher passed + + + type: + + + blkcipher for synchronous block ciphers + + + ablkcipher for asynchronous block ciphers + + + cipher for single block ciphers that may be used with + an additional template + + + shash for synchronous message digest + + + ahash for asynchronous message digest + + + aead for AEAD cipher type + + + compression for compression type transformations + + + rng for random number generator + + + givcipher for cipher with associated IV generator + (see the geniv entry below for the specification of the + IV generator type used by the cipher implementation) + + + + + + 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 and handling as it is specific to the given + cipher + + + + + + + + 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-192 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 Single block cipher + + + CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_COMPRESS Compression + + + CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AEAD Authenticated Encryption with + Associated Data (MAC) + + + CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_BLKCIPHER Synchronous multi-block cipher + + + CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_ABLKCIPHER Asynchronous multi-block cipher + + + CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_GIVCIPHER Asynchronous multi-block + cipher packed together with an IV generator (see geniv field + in the /proc/crypto listing for the known IV generators) + + + CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_DIGEST Raw message digest + + + CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_HASH Alias for CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_DIGEST + + + CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_SHASH Synchronous multi-block hash + + + CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AHASH Asynchronous multi-block hash + + + CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_RNG Random Number Generation + + + CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_PCOMPRESS Enhanced version of + CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_COMPRESS allowing for segmented compression / + decompression instead of performing the operation on one + segment only. CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_PCOMPRESS is intended to replace + CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_COMPRESS once existing consumers are converted. + + + + + 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. + + + + When the caller provides a mask and type specification, the + caller limits the search the kernel crypto API can perform for + a suitable cipher implementation for the given cipher name. + That means, even when a caller uses a cipher name that exists + during its initialization call, the kernel crypto API may not + select it due to the used type and mask field. + + + + + Developing Cipher Algorithms + Registering And Unregistering Transformation + + There are three distinct types of registration functions in + the Crypto API. One is used to register a generic cryptographic + transformation, while the other two are specific to HASH + transformations and COMPRESSion. We will discuss the latter + two in a separate chapter, here we will only look at the + generic ones. + + + + Before discussing the register functions, the data structure + to be filled with each, struct crypto_alg, must be considered + -- see below for a description of this data structure. + + + + The generic registration functions can be found in + include/linux/crypto.h and their definition can be seen below. + The former function registers a single transformation, while + the latter works on an array of transformation descriptions. + The latter is useful when registering transformations in bulk. + + + + int crypto_register_alg(struct crypto_alg *alg); + int crypto_register_algs(struct crypto_alg *algs, int count); + + + + The counterparts to those functions are listed below. + + + + int crypto_unregister_alg(struct crypto_alg *alg); + int crypto_unregister_algs(struct crypto_alg *algs, int count); + + + + Notice that both registration and unregistration functions + do return a value, so make sure to handle errors. A return + code of zero implies success. Any return code < 0 implies + an error. + + + + The bulk registration / unregistration functions require + that struct crypto_alg is an array of count size. These + functions simply loop over that array and register / + unregister each individual algorithm. If an error occurs, + the loop is terminated at the offending algorithm definition. + That means, the algorithms prior to the offending algorithm + are successfully registered. Note, the caller has no way of + knowing which cipher implementations have successfully + registered. If this is important to know, the caller should + loop through the different implementations using the single + instance *_alg functions for each individual implementation. + + + + Single-Block Symmetric Ciphers [CIPHER] + + Example of transformations: aes, arc4, ... + + + + This section describes the simplest of all transformation + implementations, that being the CIPHER type used for symmetric + ciphers. The CIPHER type is used for transformations which + operate on exactly one block at a time and there are no + dependencies between blocks at all. + + + Registration specifics + + The registration of [CIPHER] algorithm is specific in that + struct crypto_alg field .cra_type is empty. The .cra_u.cipher + has to be filled in with proper callbacks to implement this + transformation. + + + + See struct cipher_alg below. + + + + Cipher Definition With struct cipher_alg + + Struct cipher_alg defines a single block cipher. + + + + Here are schematics of how these functions are called when + operated from other part of the kernel.

The multi-block ciphers are + used for transformations which operate on scatterlists of + data supplied to the transformation functions. They output + the result into a scatterlist of data as well. + + + Registration Specifics + + + The registration of [BLKCIPHER] or [ABLKCIPHER] algorithms + is one of the most standard procedures throughout the crypto API. + + + + Note, if a cipher implementation requires a proper alignment + of data, the caller should use the functions of + crypto_blkcipher_alignmask() or crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask() + respectively to identify a memory alignment mask. The kernel + crypto API is able to process requests that are unaligned. + This implies, however, additional overhead as the kernel + crypto API needs to perform the realignment of the data which + may imply moving of data. + + + + Cipher Definition With struct blkcipher_alg and ablkcipher_alg + + Struct blkcipher_alg defines a synchronous block cipher whereas + struct ablkcipher_alg defines an asynchronous block cipher. + + + + Please refer to the single block cipher description for schematics + of the block cipher usage.

You can find the prototypes defined in + include/crypto/internal/hash.h: + + + + int crypto_register_ahash(struct ahash_alg *alg); + + int crypto_register_shash(struct shash_alg *alg); + int crypto_register_shashes(struct shash_alg *algs, int count); + + + + The respective counterparts for unregistering the HASH + transformation are as follows: + + + + int crypto_unregister_ahash(struct ahash_alg *alg); + + int crypto_unregister_shash(struct shash_alg *alg); + int crypto_unregister_shashes(struct shash_alg *algs, int count); + + + + Cipher Definition With struct shash_alg and ahash_alg + + Here are schematics of how these functions are called when + operated from other part of the kernel.
