Function Documentation

apc_pub_encrypt()

int apc_pub_encrypt	(	struct asymmetric_key *	pub,
		unsigned char *	inbuf,
		unsigned	len,
		unsigned char *	outbuf
	)

Encrypt a buffer using asymmetric keys.

Parameters

pub	The public key.
inbuf	The input buffer.
len	The length of inbuf.
outbuf	The output buffer.

Returns

The size of the encrypted data on success, negative on errors.

apc_priv_decrypt()

int apc_priv_decrypt	(	const char *	key_file,
		unsigned char *	outbuf,
		unsigned char *	inbuf,
		int	inlen
	)

Decrypt a buffer using a private key.

Parameters

key_file	Full path of the key.
outbuf	The output buffer.
inbuf	The encrypted input buffer.
inlen	The length of inbuf.

The outbuf must be large enough to hold at least 512 bytes.

Returns

The size of the recovered plaintext on success, negative on errors.

References alloc(), and check_private_key_file().

apc_get_pubkey()

int apc_get_pubkey	(	const char *	key_file,
		struct asymmetric_key **	result
	)

Read an asymmetric key from a file.

Parameters

key_file	The file containing the key.
result	The key structure is returned here.

Returns

The size of the key in bytes on success, negative on errors.

References alloc(), decode_public_key(), and PARA_DEBUG_LOG.

apc_free_pubkey()

void apc_free_pubkey

(

struct asymmetric_key *

key

)

Deallocate a public key.

Parameters

key	Pointer to the key structure to free.

This should be called for keys obtained by apc_get_pubkey() if the key is no longer needed.

get_random_bytes_or_die()

void get_random_bytes_or_die	(	unsigned char *	buf,
		int	num
	)

Fill a buffer with random content.

Parameters

buf	The buffer to fill.
num	The size of buf in bytes.

This function puts num cryptographically strong pseudo-random bytes into buf. If it can not guarantee an unpredictable byte sequence (for example because the PRNG has not been seeded with enough randomness) the function logs an error message and calls exit().

References PARA_EMERG_LOG.

Referenced by crypt_init().

crypt_init()

void crypt_init

(

void

)

Initialize the crypto backend.

This function initializes the crypto library and seeds the pseudo random number generator used by random() with a random seed obtained from the crypto implementation. On errors, an error message is logged and the function calls exit().

get_random_bytes_or_die(), srandom(3), random(3), para_random().

crypt_shutdown()

void crypt_shutdown

(

void

)

Allocate all resources of the crypto backend.

sc_new()

struct stream_cipher* sc_new	(	const unsigned char *	data,
		int	len
	)

Allocate and initialize an aes_ctr128 stream cipher structure.

Parameters

data	The key.
len	The size of the key.

Returns

A new stream cipher structure.

References AES_CRT128_BLOCK_SIZE, and alloc().

sc_crypt()

void sc_crypt	(	struct stream_cipher *	sc,
		struct iovec *	src,
		struct iovec *	dst
	)

Encrypt or decrypt a buffer using a stream cipher.

Parameters

sc	Crypto key.
src	The source buffer and length.
dst	The destination buffer and length, filled out by the function.

It is up to the implementation to decide whether the crypt operation is performed in place. The caller can tell by looking if the buffers given by src and dst coincide after the call. If (and only if) the crypt operation was not performed in place, the function allocated a new buffer for the result, so dst->iov_base is different from src->iov_base. In this case, the destination buffer must be freed by the caller when it is no longer needed.

Referenced by sc_trafo().

sc_trafo()

_static_inline_ void sc_trafo	(	struct iovec *	src,
		struct iovec *	dst,
		void *	trafo_context
	)

Wrapper for sc_crypt() that can be used as a sideband transformation.

Parameters

src	Passed verbatim to sc_crypt().
dst	Passed verbatim to sc_crypt().
trafo_context	Must point to an initialized stream cipher.

References sc_crypt().

sc_free()

void sc_free

(

struct stream_cipher *

sc

)

Deallocate a stream cipher structure.

Parameters

sc	A stream cipher previously obtained by sc_new().

hash_function()

void hash_function	(	const char *	data,
		unsigned long	len,
		unsigned char *	hash
	)

Compute the hash of the given input data.

Parameters

data	Pointer to the data to compute the hash value from.
len	The length of data in bytes.
hash	Result pointer.

hash must point to an area at least HASH_SIZE bytes large.

hash_to_asc()

void hash_to_asc	(	const unsigned char *	hash,
		char *	asc
	)

Convert a hash value to ascii format.

Parameters

hash	the hash value.
asc	Result pointer.

asc must point to an area of at least 2 * HASH_SIZE + 1 bytes which will be filled by the function with the ascii representation of the hash value given by hash, and a terminating NULL byte.

References HASH_SIZE.

hash_compare()

int hash_compare	(	const unsigned char *	h1,
		const unsigned char *	h2
	)

Compare two hashes.

Parameters

h1	Pointer to the first hash value.
h2	Pointer to the second hash value.

Returns

1, -1, or zero, depending on whether h1 is greater than, less than or equal to h2, respectively.

hash2_function()

void hash2_function	(	const char *	data,
		unsigned long	len,
		unsigned char *	hash
	)

Compute the hash2 of the given input data.

Parameters

data	Pointer to the data to compute the hash value from.
len	The length of data in bytes.
hash	Result pointer.

void hash2_to_asc	(	const unsigned char *	hash,
		char *	asc
	)

Convert a hash2 value to ascii format.

Parameters

hash	the hash value.

hash2_compare()

int hash2_compare	(	const unsigned char *	h1,
		const unsigned char *	h2
	)

Compare two version 2 hashes.

Parameters

h1	Pointer to the first hash value.
h2	Pointer to the second hash value.

Returns

1, -1, or zero, depending on whether h1 is greater than, less than or equal to h2, respectively.
