# Authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD)

struct psa_aead_operation_s typedef struct psa_aead_operation_s psa_aead_operation_t psa_aead_operation_t

The type of the state data structure for multipart AEAD operations.

Before calling any function on an AEAD operation object, the application must initialize it by any of the following means:

- Set the structure to all-bits-zero, for example:

      psa_aead_operation_toperation;
      memset(&operation,0,sizeof(operation));

- Initialize the structure to logical zero values, for example:

      psa_aead_operation_toperation={0};

- Initialize the structure to the initializer PSA_AEAD_OPERATION_INIT, for example:

      psa_aead_operation_toperation=PSA_AEAD_OPERATION_INIT;

- Assign the result of the function psa_aead_operation_init() to the structure, for example:

      psa_aead_operation_toperation;
      operation=psa_aead_operation_init();

This is an implementation-defined `struct`. Applications should not make any assumptions about the content of this structure. Implementation details can change in future versions without notice.

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:

- A successful call to psa_aead_finish().

- A call to psa_aead_abort().

operation

The operation object to set up. It must have been initialized as per the documentation for psa_aead_operation_t and not yet in use.

key

Identifier 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.

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:

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().

When encrypting, applications should use psa_aead_generate_nonce() instead of this function, unless implementing a protocol that requires a non-random IV.

operation

Active AEAD operation.

nonce

Buffer containing the nonce to use.

nonce_length

Size of the nonce in bytes.

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().

operation

Active AEAD operation.

ad_length

Size of the non-encrypted additional authenticated data in bytes.

plaintext_length

Size of the plaintext to encrypt in bytes.

PSA_SUCCESS

Success.

PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT

At least one of the lengths is not acceptable for the chosen algorithm.

PSA_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY

PSA_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE

PSA_ERROR_HARDWARE_FAILURE

PSA_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED

PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE

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

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.

operation

Active AEAD operation.

input

Buffer containing the fragment of additional data.

input_length

Size of the `input` buffer in bytes.

PSA_SUCCESS

Success.

PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT

The total input length overflows the additional data length that was previously specified with psa_aead_set_lengths().

PSA_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY

PSA_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE

PSA_ERROR_HARDWARE_FAILURE

PSA_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED

PSA_ERROR_STORAGE_FAILURE

PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE

The 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 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_status_t 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) 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().

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.

- PSA_AEAD_UPDATE_OUTPUT_MAX_SIZE(`input_length`) evaluates to the maximum output size of any supported AEAD algorithm.

output_length

On success, the number of bytes that make up the returned output.

The size of the `output` buffer is too small. PSA_AEAD_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE(`key_type`, `alg`, `input_length`) or PSA_AEAD_UPDATE_OUTPUT_MAX_SIZE(`input_length`) can be used to determine the required buffer size.

PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT

The 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().

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.

When this function returns successfully, 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().

operation

tag_length

On success, the number of bytes that make up the returned tag.

PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL

The size of the `ciphertext` or `tag` buffer is too small. PSA_AEAD_FINISH_OUTPUT_SIZE(`key_type`, `alg`) or PSA_AEAD_FINISH_OUTPUT_MAX_SIZE can be used to determine the required `ciphertext` buffer size. PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH(`key_type`, `key_bits`, `alg`) or PSA_AEAD_TAG_MAX_SIZE can be used to determine the required `tag` buffer size.

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 successfully, 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().

Implementations shall make the best effort to ensure that the comparison between the actual tag and the expected tag is performed in constant time.

plaintext

Buffer 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.

- A sufficient output size is PSA_AEAD_VERIFY_OUTPUT_SIZE(`key_type`, `alg`) where `key_type` is the type of key and `alg` is the algorithm that were used to set up the operation.

- PSA_AEAD_VERIFY_OUTPUT_MAX_SIZE evaluates to the maximum output size of any supported AEAD algorithm.

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.

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_OPERATION_INIT
{ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, { 0 } }

This macro returns a suitable initializer for an AEAD operation object of type psa_aead_operation_t.
