◆ psa_aead_encrypt_setup()

psa_status_t psa_aead_encrypt_setup ( psa_aead_operation_t operation,
mbedtls_svc_key_id_t  key,
psa_algorithm_t  alg 
)

Set the key for a multipart authenticated encryption operation.

The sequence of operations to encrypt a message with authentication is as follows:

  1. Allocate an operation object which will be passed to all the functions listed here.
  2. Initialize the operation object with one of the methods described in the documentation for psa_aead_operation_t, e.g. PSA_AEAD_OPERATION_INIT.
  3. Call psa_aead_encrypt_setup() to specify the algorithm and key.
  4. If needed, call psa_aead_set_lengths() to specify the length of the inputs to the subsequent calls to psa_aead_update_ad() and psa_aead_update(). See the documentation of psa_aead_set_lengths() for details.
  5. Call either psa_aead_generate_nonce() or psa_aead_set_nonce() to generate or set the nonce. You should use psa_aead_generate_nonce() unless the protocol you are implementing requires a specific nonce value.
  6. Call psa_aead_update_ad() zero, one or more times, passing a fragment of the non-encrypted additional authenticated data each time.
  7. Call psa_aead_update() zero, one or more times, passing a fragment of the message to encrypt each time.
  8. Call psa_aead_finish().

If an error occurs at any step after a call to psa_aead_encrypt_setup(), the operation will need to be reset by a call to psa_aead_abort(). The application may call psa_aead_abort() at any time after the operation has been initialized.

After a successful call to psa_aead_encrypt_setup(), the application must eventually terminate the operation. The following events terminate an operation:

Parameters
[in,out]operationThe operation object to set up. It must have been initialized as per the documentation for psa_aead_operation_t and not yet in use.
keyIdentifier of the key to use for the operation. It must remain valid until the operation terminates. It must allow the usage PSA_KEY_USAGE_ENCRYPT.
algThe AEAD algorithm to compute (PSA_ALG_XXX value such that PSA_ALG_IS_AEAD(alg) is true).
Return values
PSA_SUCCESSSuccess.
PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATEThe operation state is not valid (it must be inactive). Or, alternately, the library has not been previously initialized by psa_crypto_init(). It is implementation-dependent whether a failure to initialize results in this error code.
PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
PSA_ERROR_NOT_PERMITTED
PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENTkey is not compatible with alg.
PSA_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTEDalg is not supported or is not an AEAD algorithm.

psa_status_t psa_aead_decrypt_setup ( psa_aead_operation_t operation,
mbedtls_svc_key_id_t  key,
psa_algorithm_t  alg 
)

Set the key for a multipart authenticated decryption operation.

The sequence of operations to decrypt a message with authentication is as follows:

  1. Allocate an operation object which will be passed to all the functions listed here.
  2. Initialize the operation object with one of the methods described in the documentation for psa_aead_operation_t, e.g. PSA_AEAD_OPERATION_INIT.
  3. Call psa_aead_decrypt_setup() to specify the algorithm and key.
  4. If needed, call psa_aead_set_lengths() to specify the length of the inputs to the subsequent calls to psa_aead_update_ad() and psa_aead_update(). See the documentation of psa_aead_set_lengths() for details.
  5. Call psa_aead_set_nonce() with the nonce for the decryption.
  6. Call psa_aead_update_ad() zero, one or more times, passing a fragment of the non-encrypted additional authenticated data each time.
  7. Call psa_aead_update() zero, one or more times, passing a fragment of the ciphertext to decrypt each time.
  8. Call psa_aead_verify().

If an error occurs at any step after a call to psa_aead_decrypt_setup(), the operation will need to be reset by a call to psa_aead_abort(). The application may call psa_aead_abort() at any time after the operation has been initialized.

After a successful call to psa_aead_decrypt_setup(), the application must eventually terminate the operation. The following events terminate an operation:

Parameters
[in,out]operationThe operation object to set up. It must have been initialized as per the documentation for psa_aead_operation_t and not yet in use.

psa_status_t psa_aead_generate_nonce ( psa_aead_operation_t operation,
uint8_t *  nonce,
size_t  nonce_size,
size_t *  nonce_length 
)

Generate a random nonce for an authenticated encryption operation.

This function generates a random nonce for the authenticated encryption operation with an appropriate size for the chosen algorithm, key type and key size.

The application must call psa_aead_encrypt_setup() before calling this function.

If this function returns an error status, the operation enters an error state and must be aborted by calling psa_aead_abort().

nonce_sizeSize of the nonce buffer in bytes.
[out]nonce_lengthOn success, the number of bytes of the generated nonce.
Return values
PSA_SUCCESSSuccess.

◆ psa_aead_set_nonce()

psa_status_t psa_aead_set_nonce ( psa_aead_operation_t operation,
const uint8_t *  nonce,
size_t  nonce_length 
)

Set the nonce for an authenticated encryption or decryption operation.

This function sets the nonce for the authenticated encryption or decryption operation.

The application must call psa_aead_encrypt_setup() or psa_aead_decrypt_setup() before calling this function.

If this function returns an error status, the operation enters an error state and must be aborted by calling psa_aead_abort().

Note
When encrypting, applications should use psa_aead_generate_nonce() instead of this function, unless implementing a protocol that requires a non-random IV.
Parameters
[in,out]operationActive AEAD operation.
[in]nonceBuffer containing the nonce to use.
nonce_lengthSize of the nonce in bytes.
Return values
PSA_SUCCESSSuccess.
PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATEThe operation state is not valid (it must be active, with no nonce set). Or, alternately, the library has not been previously initialized by psa_crypto_init(). It is implementation-dependent whether a failure to initialize results in this error code.

◆ psa_aead_set_lengths()

psa_status_t psa_aead_set_lengths ( psa_aead_operation_t operation,
size_t  ad_length,
size_t  plaintext_length 
)

Declare the lengths of the message and additional data for AEAD.

The application must call this function before calling psa_aead_update_ad() or psa_aead_update() if the algorithm for the operation requires it. If the algorithm does not require it, calling this function is optional, but if this function is called then the implementation must enforce the lengths.

You may call this function before or after setting the nonce with psa_aead_set_nonce() or psa_aead_generate_nonce().

  • For PSA_ALG_CCM, calling this function is required.
  • For the other AEAD algorithms defined in this specification, calling this function is not required.
  • For vendor-defined algorithm, refer to the vendor documentation.

If this function returns an error status, the operation enters an error state and must be aborted by calling psa_aead_abort().

Parameters
[in,out]operationActive AEAD operation.
ad_lengthSize of the non-encrypted additional authenticated data in bytes.
plaintext_lengthSize of the plaintext to encrypt in bytes.
Return values
PSA_SUCCESSSuccess.
PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATEThe operation state is not valid (it must be active, and psa_aead_update_ad() and psa_aead_update() must not have been called yet). Or, alternately, the library has not been previously initialized by psa_crypto_init(). It is implementation-dependent whether a failure to initialize results in this error code.
PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENTAt least one of the lengths is not acceptable for the chosen algorithm.

◆ psa_aead_update_ad()

psa_status_t psa_aead_update_ad ( psa_aead_operation_t operation,
const uint8_t *  input,
size_t  input_length 
)

Pass additional data to an active AEAD operation.

Additional data is authenticated, but not encrypted.

You may call this function multiple times to pass successive fragments of the additional data. You may not call this function after passing data to encrypt or decrypt with psa_aead_update().

Before calling this function, you must:

  1. Call either psa_aead_encrypt_setup() or psa_aead_decrypt_setup().
  2. Set the nonce with psa_aead_generate_nonce() or psa_aead_set_nonce().

If this function returns an error status, the operation enters an error state and must be aborted by calling psa_aead_abort().

Warning
When decrypting, until psa_aead_verify() has returned PSA_SUCCESS, there is no guarantee that the input is valid. Therefore, until you have called psa_aead_verify() and it has returned PSA_SUCCESS, treat the input as untrusted and prepare to undo any action that depends on the input if psa_aead_verify() returns an error status.
Parameters
[in,out]operationActive AEAD operation.
[in]inputBuffer containing the fragment of additional data.
input_lengthSize of the input buffer in bytes.
Return values
PSA_SUCCESSSuccess.
PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATEThe operation state is not valid (it must be active, have a nonce set, have lengths set if required by the algorithm, and psa_aead_update() must not have been called yet). Or, alternately, the library has not been previously initialized by psa_crypto_init(). It is implementation-dependent whether a failure to initialize results in this error code.
PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENTThe total input length overflows the additional data length that was previously specified with psa_aead_set_lengths().

◆ psa_aead_update()

psa_status_t psa_aead_update ( psa_aead_operation_t operation,
const uint8_t *  input,
size_t  input_length,
uint8_t *  output,
size_t  output_size,
size_t *  output_length 
)

Encrypt or decrypt a message fragment in an active AEAD operation.

Before calling this function, you must:

  1. Call either psa_aead_encrypt_setup() or psa_aead_decrypt_setup(). The choice of setup function determines whether this function encrypts or decrypts its input.
  2. Set the nonce with psa_aead_generate_nonce() or psa_aead_set_nonce().
  3. Call psa_aead_update_ad() to pass all the additional data.

If this function returns an error status, the operation enters an error state and must be aborted by calling psa_aead_abort().

Warning
When decrypting, until psa_aead_verify() has returned PSA_SUCCESS, there is no guarantee that the input is valid. Therefore, until you have called psa_aead_verify() and it has returned PSA_SUCCESS:
  • Do not use the output in any way other than storing it in a confidential location. If you take any action that depends on the tentative decrypted data, this action will need to be undone if the input turns out not to be valid. Furthermore, if an adversary can observe that this action took place (for example through timing), they may be able to use this fact as an oracle to decrypt any message encrypted with the same key.
  • In particular, do not copy the output anywhere but to a memory or storage space that you have exclusive access to.

This function does not require the input to be aligned to any particular block boundary. If the implementation can only process a whole block at a time, it must consume all the input provided, but it may delay the end of the corresponding output until a subsequent call to psa_aead_update(), psa_aead_finish() or psa_aead_verify() provides sufficient input. The amount of data that can be delayed in this way is bounded by PSA_AEAD_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE.

Parameters
[in,out]operationActive AEAD operation.
[in]inputBuffer containing the message fragment to encrypt or decrypt.
input_lengthSize of the input buffer in bytes.
[out]outputBuffer where the output is to be written.
output_sizeSize of the output buffer in bytes. This must be at least PSA_AEAD_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE(alg, input_length) where alg is the algorithm that is being calculated.
[out]output_lengthOn success, the number of bytes that make up the returned output.
Return values
PSA_SUCCESSSuccess.
PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATEThe operation state is not valid (it must be active, have a nonce set, and have lengths set if required by the algorithm). Or, alternately, the library has not been previously initialized by psa_crypto_init(). It is implementation-dependent whether a failure to initialize results in this error code.
PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALLThe size of the output buffer is too small. You can determine a sufficient buffer size by calling PSA_AEAD_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE(alg, input_length) where alg is the algorithm that is being calculated.
PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENTThe total length of input to psa_aead_update_ad() so far is less than the additional data length that was previously specified with psa_aead_set_lengths(). Or, the total input length overflows the plaintext length that was previously specified with psa_aead_set_lengths().

uint8_t *  tag,
size_t  tag_size,
size_t *  tag_length 
)

Finish encrypting a message in an AEAD operation.

The operation must have been set up with psa_aead_encrypt_setup().

This function finishes the authentication of the additional data formed by concatenating the inputs passed to preceding calls to psa_aead_update_ad() with the plaintext formed by concatenating the inputs passed to preceding calls to psa_aead_update().

This function has two output buffers:

  • ciphertext contains trailing ciphertext that was buffered from preceding calls to psa_aead_update().
  • tag contains the authentication tag. Its length is always PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH(alg) where alg is the AEAD algorithm that the operation performs.

When this function returns successfuly, the operation becomes inactive. If this function returns an error status, the operation enters an error state and must be aborted by calling psa_aead_abort().

Parameters
[in,out]operationActive AEAD operation.
[out]ciphertextBuffer where the last part of the ciphertext is to be written.
ciphertext_sizeSize of the ciphertext buffer in bytes. This must be at least PSA_AEAD_FINISH_OUTPUT_SIZE(alg) where alg is the algorithm that is being calculated.
[out]ciphertext_lengthOn success, the number of bytes of returned ciphertext.
[out]tagBuffer where the authentication tag is to be written.
tag_sizeSize of the tag buffer in bytes. This must be at least PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH(alg) where alg is the algorithm that is being calculated.
[out]tag_lengthOn success, the number of bytes that make up the returned tag.
Return values
PSA_SUCCESSSuccess.
PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATEThe operation state is not valid (it must be an active encryption operation with a nonce set). Or, alterately, the library has not been previously initialized by psa_crypto_init(). It is implementation-dependent whether a failure to initialize results in this error code.
PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALLThe size of the ciphertext or tag buffer is too small. You can determine a sufficient buffer size for ciphertext by calling PSA_AEAD_FINISH_OUTPUT_SIZE(alg) where alg is the algorithm that is being calculated. You can determine a sufficient buffer size for tag by calling PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH(alg).
PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENTThe total length of input to psa_aead_update_ad() so far is less than the additional data length that was previously specified with psa_aead_set_lengths(). Or, the total length of input to psa_aead_update() so far is less than the plaintext length that was previously specified with psa_aead_set_lengths().

uint8_t *  plaintext,
size_t  plaintext_size,
size_t *  plaintext_length,
const uint8_t *  tag,
size_t  tag_length 
)

Finish authenticating and decrypting a message in an AEAD operation.

The operation must have been set up with psa_aead_decrypt_setup().

This function finishes the authenticated decryption of the message components:

  • The additional data consisting of the concatenation of the inputs passed to preceding calls to psa_aead_update_ad().
  • The ciphertext consisting of the concatenation of the inputs passed to preceding calls to psa_aead_update().
  • The tag passed to this function call.

If the authentication tag is correct, this function outputs any remaining plaintext and reports success. If the authentication tag is not correct, this function returns PSA_ERROR_INVALID_SIGNATURE.

When this function returns successfuly, the operation becomes inactive. If this function returns an error status, the operation enters an error state and must be aborted by calling psa_aead_abort().

Note
Implementations shall make the best effort to ensure that the comparison between the actual tag and the expected tag is performed in constant time.
Parameters
[in,out]operationActive AEAD operation.
[out]plaintextBuffer where the last part of the plaintext is to be written. This is the remaining data from previous calls to psa_aead_update() that could not be processed until the end of the input.
plaintext_sizeSize of the plaintext buffer in bytes. This must be at least PSA_AEAD_VERIFY_OUTPUT_SIZE(alg) where alg is the algorithm that is being calculated.
[out]plaintext_lengthOn success, the number of bytes of returned plaintext.
[in]tagBuffer containing the authentication tag.
tag_lengthSize of the tag buffer in bytes.
Return values
PSA_SUCCESSSuccess.
PSA_ERROR_INVALID_SIGNATUREThe calculations were successful, but the authentication tag is not correct.
PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATEThe operation state is not valid (it must be an active decryption operation with a nonce set). Or, alternately, the library has not been previously initialized by psa_crypto_init(). It is implementation-dependent whether a failure to initialize results in this error code.
PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALLThe size of the plaintext buffer is too small. You can determine a sufficient buffer size for plaintext by calling PSA_AEAD_VERIFY_OUTPUT_SIZE(alg) where alg is the algorithm that is being calculated.
PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENTThe total length of input to psa_aead_update_ad() so far is less than the additional data length that was previously specified with psa_aead_set_lengths().

◆ psa_aead_abort()

psa_status_t psa_aead_abort ( psa_aead_operation_t operation)

Abort an AEAD operation.

Aborting an operation frees all associated resources except for the operation structure itself. Once aborted, the operation object can be reused for another operation by calling psa_aead_encrypt_setup() or psa_aead_decrypt_setup() again.

You may call this function any time after the operation object has been initialized as described in psa_aead_operation_t.

In particular, calling psa_aead_abort() after the operation has been terminated by a call to psa_aead_abort(), psa_aead_finish() or psa_aead_verify() is safe and has no effect.

Parameters
[in,out]operationInitialized AEAD operation.
Return values
PSA_SUCCESS
PSA_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE
PSA_ERROR_HARDWARE_FAILURE
PSA_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED
PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATEThe library has not been previously initialized by psa_crypto_init(). It is implementation-dependent whether a failure to initialize results in this error code.
