This is the cipher part of an AEAD .Pq Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data mode. This requires use of the use of a proper authentication mode, one of .Dv CRYPTO_AES_128_NIST_GMAC , .Dv CRYPTO_AES_192_NIST_GMAC or .Dv CRYPTO_AES_256_NIST_GMAC , that corresponds with the number of bits in the key that you are using. .Pp The associated data (if any) must be provided by the authentication mode op. The authentication tag will be read/written from/to the offset crd_inject specified in the descriptor for the authentication mode. .Pp Note: You must provide an IV on every call. .It Dv CRYPTO_AES_ICM .Bl -tag -width "Block size :" -compact -offset indent .It IV size : 16 .It Block size : 1 (aesni), 16 (software) .It Key size : 16, 24 or 32 .El .Pp This algorithm implements Integer Counter Mode. This is similar to what most people call counter mode, but instead of the counter being split into a nonce and a counter part, then entire nonce is used as the initial counter. This does mean that if a counter is required that rolls over at 32 bits, the transaction need to be split into two parts where the counter rolls over. The counter incremented as a 128-bit big endian number. .Pp Note: You must provide an IV on every call. .It Dv CRYPTO_AES_XTS .Bl -tag -width "Block size :" -compact -offset indent .It IV size : 8 .It Block size : 16 .It Key size : 32 or 64 .El .Pp This algorithm implements XEX Tweakable Block Cipher with Ciphertext Stealing as defined in NIST SP 800-38E. .Pp NOTE: The ciphertext stealing part is not implemented which is why this cipher is listed as having a block size of 16 instead of 1. .El .Pp Authentication algorithms: .Bl -tag -width ".Dv CRYPTO_AES_256_NIST_GMAC" .It CRYPTO_AES_128_NIST_GMAC See .Dv CRYPTO_AES_NIST_GCM_16 in the cipher mode section. .It CRYPTO_AES_192_NIST_GMAC See .Dv CRYPTO_AES_NIST_GCM_16 in the cipher mode section. .It CRYPTO_AES_256_NIST_GMAC See .Dv CRYPTO_AES_NIST_GCM_16 in the cipher mode section. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr crypto 4 , .Xr crypto 9 .Sh BUGS Not all the implemented algorithms are listed.
