     25 /* Authenticated Encryption with Additional Data.
     26  *
     27  * AEAD couples confidentiality and integrity in a single primtive. AEAD
     28  * algorithms take a key and then can seal and open individual messages. Each
     29  * message has a unique, per-message nonce and, optionally, additional data
     30  * which is authenticated but not included in the ciphertext.
     31  *
     32  * The |EVP_AEAD_CTX_init| function initialises an |EVP_AEAD_CTX| structure and
     33  * performs any precomputation needed to use |aead| with |key|. The length of
     34  * the key, |key_len|, is given in bytes.
     35  *
     36  * The |tag_len| argument contains the length of the tags, in bytes, and allows
     37  * for the processing of truncated authenticators. A zero value indicates that
     38  * the default tag length should be used and this is defined as
     39  * |EVP_AEAD_DEFAULT_TAG_LENGTH| in order to make the code clear. Using
     40  * truncated tags increases an attacker's chance of creating a valid forgery.
     41  * Be aware that the attacker's chance may increase more than exponentially as
     42  * would naively be expected.
     43  *
     44  * When no longer needed, the initialised |EVP_AEAD_CTX| structure must be
     45  * passed to |EVP_AEAD_CTX_cleanup|, which will deallocate any memory used.
     46  *
     47  * With an |EVP_AEAD_CTX| in hand, one can seal and open messages. These
     48  * operations are intended to meet the standard notions of privacy and
     49  * authenticity for authenticated encryption. For formal definitions see
     50  * Bellare and Namprempre, "Authenticated encryption: relations among notions
     51  * and analysis of the generic composition paradigm," Lecture Notes in Computer
     52  * Science B<1976> (2000), 531545,
     53  * http://www-cse.ucsd.edu/~mihir/papers/oem.html.
     54  *
     55  * When sealing messages, a nonce must be given. The length of the nonce is
     56  * fixed by the AEAD in use and is returned by |EVP_AEAD_nonce_length|. *The
     57  * nonce must be unique for all messages with the same key*. This is critically
     58  * important - nonce reuse may completely undermine the security of the AEAD.
     59  * Nonces may be predictable and public, so long as they are unique. Uniqueness
     60  * may be achieved with a simple counter or, if large enough, may be generated
     61  * randomly. The nonce must be passed into the "open" operation by the receiver
     62  * so must either be implicit (e.g. a counter), or must be transmitted along
     63  * with the sealed message.
     64  *
     65  * The "seal" and "open" operations are atomic - an entire message must be
     66  * encrypted or decrypted in a single call. Large messages may have to be split
     67  * up in order to accomodate this. When doing so, be mindful of the need not to
     68  * repeat nonces and the possibility that an attacker could duplicate, reorder
     69  * or drop message chunks. For example, using a single key for a given (large)
     70  * message and sealing chunks with nonces counting from zero would be secure as
     71  * long as the number of chunks was securely transmitted. (Otherwise an
     72  * attacker could truncate the message by dropping chunks from the end.)
     73  *
     74  * The number of chunks could be transmitted by prefixing it to the plaintext,
     75  * for example. This also assumes that no other message would ever use the same
     76  * key otherwise the rule that nonces must be unique for a given key would be
     77  * violated.
     78  *
     79  * The "seal" and "open" operations also permit additional data to be
     80  * authenticated via the |ad| parameter. This data is not included in the
     81  * ciphertext and must be identical for both the "seal" and "open" call. This
     82  * permits implicit context to be authenticated but may be empty if not needed.
     83  *
     84  * The "seal" and "open" operations may work in-place if the |out| and |in|
     85  * arguments are equal. They may also be used to shift the data left inside the
     86  * same buffer if |out| is less than |in|. However, |out| may not point inside
     87  * the input data otherwise the input may be overwritten before it has been
     88  * read. This situation will cause an error.
     89  *
     90  * The "seal" and "open" operations return one on success and zero on error. */
