Detailed Description

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) specifies a FIPS-approved cryptographic algorithm that can be used to protect electronic data.

The AES algorithm is a symmetric block cipher that can encrypt and decrypt information. For more information, see FIPS Publication 197: Advanced Encryption Standard and ISO/IEC 18033-2:2006: Information technology – Security techniques – Encryption algorithms – Part 2: Asymmetric ciphers.

◆ mbedtls_aes_crypt_cbc()

int mbedtls_aes_crypt_cbc	(	mbedtls_aes_context *	ctx,
		int	mode,
		size_t	length,
		unsigned char	iv[16],
		const unsigned char *	input,
		unsigned char *	output
	)

This function performs an AES-CBC encryption or decryption operation on full blocks.

It performs the operation defined in the mode parameter (encrypt/decrypt), on the input data buffer defined in the input parameter.

It can be called as many times as needed, until all the input data is processed. mbedtls_aes_init(), and either mbedtls_aes_setkey_enc() or mbedtls_aes_setkey_dec() must be called before the first call to this API with the same context.

Note: This function operates on aligned blocks, that is, the input size must be a multiple of the AES block size of 16 Bytes.; Upon exit, the content of the IV is updated so that you can call the same function again on the next block(s) of data and get the same result as if it was encrypted in one call. This allows a "streaming" usage. If you need to retain the contents of the IV, you should either save it manually or use the cipher module instead.

Parameters

ctx	The AES context to use for encryption or decryption.
mode	The AES operation: MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT or MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT.
length	The length of the input data in Bytes. This must be a multiple of the block size (16 Bytes).
iv	Initialization vector (updated after use).
input	The buffer holding the input data.
output	The buffer holding the output data.

Returns: 0 on success, or MBEDTLS_ERR_AES_INVALID_INPUT_LENGTH on failure.

◆ mbedtls_aes_crypt_cfb128()

int mbedtls_aes_crypt_cfb128	(	mbedtls_aes_context *	ctx,
		int	mode,
		size_t	length,
		size_t *	iv_off,
		unsigned char	iv[16],
		const unsigned char *	input,
		unsigned char *	output
	)

This function performs an AES-CFB128 encryption or decryption operation.

It performs the operation defined in the mode parameter (encrypt or decrypt), on the input data buffer defined in the input parameter.

For CFB, you must set up the context with mbedtls_aes_setkey_enc(), regardless of whether you are performing an encryption or decryption operation, that is, regardless of the mode parameter. This is because CFB mode uses the same key schedule for encryption and decryption.

Note: Upon exit, the content of the IV is updated so that you can call the same function again on the next block(s) of data and get the same result as if it was encrypted in one call. This allows a "streaming" usage. If you need to retain the contents of the IV, you must either save it manually or use the cipher module instead.

Parameters

ctx	The AES context to use for encryption or decryption.
mode	The AES operation: MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT or MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT.
length	The length of the input data.
iv_off	The offset in IV (updated after use).
iv	The initialization vector (updated after use).
input	The buffer holding the input data.
output	The buffer holding the output data.

Returns: 0 on success.

◆ mbedtls_aes_crypt_cfb8()

int mbedtls_aes_crypt_cfb8	(	mbedtls_aes_context *	ctx,
		int	mode,
		size_t	length,
		unsigned char	iv[16],
		const unsigned char *	input,
		unsigned char *	output
	)

This function performs an AES-CFB8 encryption or decryption operation.

It performs the operation defined in the mode parameter (encrypt/decrypt), on the input data buffer defined in the input parameter.

Due to the nature of CFB, you must use the same key schedule for both encryption and decryption operations. Therefore, you must use the context initialized with mbedtls_aes_setkey_enc() for both MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT and MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT.

Note: Upon exit, the content of the IV is updated so that you can call the same function again on the next block(s) of data and get the same result as if it was encrypted in one call. This allows a "streaming" usage. If you need to retain the contents of the IV, you should either save it manually or use the cipher module instead.

Parameters

ctx	The AES context to use for encryption or decryption.
mode	The AES operation: MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT or MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT
length	The length of the input data.
iv	The initialization vector (updated after use).
input	The buffer holding the input data.
output	The buffer holding the output data.

Returns: 0 on success.

◆ mbedtls_aes_crypt_ctr()

int mbedtls_aes_crypt_ctr	(	mbedtls_aes_context *	ctx,
		size_t	length,
		size_t *	nc_off,
		unsigned char	nonce_counter[16],
		unsigned char	stream_block[16],
		const unsigned char *	input,
		unsigned char *	output
	)

This function performs an AES-CTR encryption or decryption operation.

This function performs the operation defined in the mode parameter (encrypt/decrypt), on the input data buffer defined in the input parameter.

Due to the nature of CTR, you must use the same key schedule for both encryption and decryption operations. Therefore, you must use the context initialized with mbedtls_aes_setkey_enc() for both MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT and MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT.

Warning: You must keep the maximum use of your counter in mind.

Parameters

ctx	The AES context to use for encryption or decryption.
length	The length of the input data.
nc_off	The offset in the current `stream_block`, for resuming within the current cipher stream. The offset pointer should be 0 at the start of a stream.
nonce_counter	The 128-bit nonce and counter.
stream_block	The saved stream block for resuming. This is overwritten by the function.
input	The buffer holding the input data.
output	The buffer holding the output data.

Returns: 0 on success.

◆ mbedtls_aes_crypt_ecb()

int mbedtls_aes_crypt_ecb	(	mbedtls_aes_context *	ctx,
		int	mode,
		const unsigned char	input[16],
		unsigned char	output[16]
	)

This function performs an AES single-block encryption or decryption operation.

It performs the operation defined in the mode parameter (encrypt or decrypt), on the input data buffer defined in the input parameter.

Parameters

ctx	The AES context to use for encryption or decryption.
mode	The AES operation: MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT or MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT.
input	The 16-Byte buffer holding the input data.
output	The 16-Byte buffer holding the output data.

Returns: 0 on success.
