+ <title>Kernel Crypto API Interface Specification</title>
+
+ <sect1><title>Introduction</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The kernel crypto API offers a rich set of cryptographic ciphers as
+ well as other data transformation mechanisms and methods to invoke
+ these. This document contains a description of the API and provides
+ example code.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The kernel crypto API serves the following entity types:
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>consumers requesting cryptographic services</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>data transformation implementations (typically ciphers)
+ that can be called by consumers using the kernel crypto
+ API</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Note: The terms "transformation" and cipher algorithm are used
+ interchangably.
+ </para>
+ </sect1>
+
+ <sect1><title>Terminology</title>
+ <para>
+ The transformation implementation is an actual code or interface
+ to hardware which implements a certain transformation with precisely
+ defined behavior.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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:
+ </para>
+
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Initialization of a cipher handle.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Execution of all intended cipher operations applicable
+ for the handle where the cipher handle must be furnished to
+ every API call.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Destruction of a cipher handle.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+
+ <para>
+ 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_*.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The transformation context is private data associated with
+ the transformation object.

+
+ <sect1><title>Ciphers And Templates</title>
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A single block cipher may even be called with multiple templates.
+ However, templates cannot be used without a single cipher.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ See /proc/crypto and search for "name". For example:
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>aes</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>ecb(aes)</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>cmac(aes)</para></listitem>

+ <listitem><para>authenc(hmac(sha1),cbc(aes))</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In these examples, "aes" and "sha1" are the ciphers and all
+ others are the templates.
+ </para>
+ </sect1>
+
+ <sect1><title>Synchronous And Asynchronous Operation</title>
+ <para>
+ The kernel crypto API provides synchronous and asynchronous
+ API operations.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+ </sect1>
+
+ <sect1><title>Crypto API Cipher References And Priority</title>
+ <para>
+ A cipher is referenced by the caller with a string. That string
+ has the following semantics:
+
+ <programlisting>
+ template(single block cipher)
+ </programlisting>
+
+ 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
+
+ <programlisting>
+ template1(template2(single block cipher)))
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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:
+ </para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>name: the generic name of the cipher that is subject

+ </sect1>
+
+ <sect1><title>Key Sizes</title>
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+ </sect1>
+
+ <sect1><title>Cipher Allocation Type And Masks</title>
+ <para>
+ 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).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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:

+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.

+
+ <chapter id="Development"><title>Developing Cipher Algorithms</title>
+ <sect1><title>Registering And Unregistering Transformation</title>
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <programlisting>
+ int crypto_register_alg(struct crypto_alg *alg);
+ int crypto_register_algs(struct crypto_alg *algs, int count);
+ </programlisting>
+
+ <para>
+ The counterparts to those functions are listed below.
+ </para>
+
+ <programlisting>
+ int crypto_unregister_alg(struct crypto_alg *alg);
+ int crypto_unregister_algs(struct crypto_alg *algs, int count);
+ </programlisting>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>

+ </para>
+
+ <sect2><title>Registration specifics</title>
+ <para>
+ The registration of [CIPHER] algorithm is specific in that

+ This section describes the multi-block cipher transformation

+
+ <sect2><title>Registration Specifics</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The registration of [BLKCIPHER] or [ABLKCIPHER] algorithms
+ is one of the most standard procedures throughout the crypto API.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
