cipher_decrypt_ccm()

int cipher_decrypt_ccm	(	const cipher_t *	cipher,
		const uint8_t *	auth_data,
		uint32_t	auth_data_len,
		uint8_t	mac_length,
		uint8_t	length_encoding,
		const uint8_t *	nonce,
		size_t	nonce_len,
		const uint8_t *	input,
		size_t	input_len,
		uint8_t *	output
	)

Decrypt data of arbitrary length in ccm mode.

Parameters

cipher	Already initialized cipher struct
auth_data	Additional data to authenticate in MAC
auth_data_len	Length of additional data, max (2^16 - 2^8)
mac_length	length of the appended MAC (between 4 and 16 - only even values)
length_encoding	maximal supported length of plaintext (2^(8*length_enc)).
nonce	Nounce for ctr mode encryption
nonce_len	Length of the nonce in octets (maximum: 15-length_encoding)
input	pointer to input data to decrypt
input_len	length of the input data, [0, 2^32]
output	pointer to allocated memory for decrypted data. It has to be of size data_len - mac_length.

Returns

Length of the decrypted data on a successful decryption, can be 0 if only auth_data and MAC is present.

cipher_encrypt_ccm()

int cipher_encrypt_ccm	(	const cipher_t *	cipher,
		const uint8_t *	auth_data,
		uint32_t	auth_data_len,
		uint8_t	mac_length,
		uint8_t	length_encoding,
		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 ccm mode.

Parameters

cipher	Already initialized cipher struct
auth_data	Additional data to authenticate in MAC
auth_data_len	Length of additional data, max (2^16 - 2^8)
mac_length	length of the appended MAC (between 4 and 16 - only even values)
length_encoding	maximal supported length of plaintext (2^(8*length_enc)).
nonce	Nounce for ctr mode encryption
nonce_len	Length of the nonce in octets (maximum: 15-length_encoding)
input	pointer to input data to encrypt
input_len	length of the input data, [0, 2^32]
output	pointer to allocated memory for encrypted data. It has to be of size data_len + mac_length.

Returns

Length of encrypted data on a successful encryption, can be 0 if input_len=0 (no plaintext)
