Detailed Description

This file contains all of the enums and definitions that are used for the CRYS HMAC APIs, as well as the APIs themselves.

HMAC is a wrapping algorithm that uses a HASH function (one of the supported HASH algorithms, as specified in the HASH chapter) and a key, to generate a unique authentication code over the input data. HMAC calculation can be performed in either of the following two modes of operation:

  • Integrated operation - Processes all data in a single function call. This flow is applicable when all data is available prior to the cryptographic operation.
  • Block operation - Processes a subset of the data buffers, and is called multiple times in a sequence. This flow is applicable when the next data buffer becomes available only during/after processing of the current data buffer.

The following is a typical HMAC Block operation flow:

  1. CRYS_HMAC_Init : This function initializes the HMAC machine on the CRYS level by setting the context pointer that is used on the entire HMAC operation.
  2. CRYS_HMAC_Update : This function runs an HMAC operation on a block of data allocated by the user. This function may be called as many times as required.
  3. CRYS_HMAC_Finish : This function ends the HMAC operation. It returns the digest result and clears the context.

Function Documentation

CRYSError_t CRYS_HMAC ( CRYS_HASH_OperationMode_t OperationMode ,
uint8_t * key_ptr ,
uint16_t keySize ,
uint8_t * DataIn_ptr ,
size_t DataSize ,
CRYS_HASH_Result_t HmacResultBuff
)

This function processes a single buffer of data, and returns the data buffer's message digest.

Returns
CRYS_OK on success.
A non-zero value from crys_hmac_error.h on failure.
Parameters
[in] OperationMode One of the supported HASH modes, as defined in CRYS_HASH_OperationMode_t.
[in] key_ptr The pointer to the user's key buffer.
[in] keySize The key size in bytes.
[in] DataIn_ptr Pointer to the input data to be HASHed. The size of the scatter/gather list representing the data buffer is limited to 128 entries, and the size of each entry is limited to 64KB (fragments larger than 64KB are broken into fragments <= 64KB).
[in] DataSize The size of the data to be hashed (in bytes).
[out] HmacResultBuff Pointer to the word-aligned 64 byte buffer. The actual size of the HMAC result depends on CRYS_HASH_OperationMode_t.
CRYSError_t CRYS_HMAC_Finish ( CRYS_HMACUserContext_t * ContextID_ptr ,
CRYS_HASH_Result_t HmacResultBuff
)

This function finalizes the HMAC processing of a data block.

It receives a handle to the HMAC context that was previously initialized by CRYS_HMAC_Init , or by CRYS_HMAC_Update . It completes the HASH calculation on the ipad and text, and then executes a new HASH operation with the key XOR opad and the previous HASH operation result.

Returns
CRYS_OK on success.
A non-zero value from crys_hmac_error.h on failure.
Parameters
[in] ContextID_ptr Pointer to the HMAC context buffer allocated by the user, which is used for the HMAC machine operation.
[out] HmacResultBuff Pointer to the word-aligned 64 byte buffer. The actual size of the HASH result depends on CRYS_HASH_OperationMode_t.
CRYSError_t CRYS_HMAC_Free ( CRYS_HMACUserContext_t * ContextID_ptr )

This function is a service function that frees the context if the operation has failed.

The function executes the following major steps:

  1. Checks the validity of all of the inputs of the function.
  2. Clears the user's context.
  3. Exits the handler with the OK code.
Returns
CRYS_OK on success.
a non-zero value from crys_hmac_error.h on failure.
Parameters
[in] ContextID_ptr Pointer to the HMAC context buffer allocated by the user, which is used for the HMAC machine operation.
CRYSError_t CRYS_HMAC_Init ( CRYS_HMACUserContext_t * ContextID_ptr ,
CRYS_HASH_OperationMode_t OperationMode ,
uint8_t * key_ptr ,
uint16_t keySize
)

This function initializes the HMAC machine.

It allocates and initializes the HMAC Context. It initiates a HASH session and processes a HASH update on the Key XOR ipad, then stores it in the context

Returns
CRYS_OK on success.
A non-zero value from crys_hmac_error.h on failure.
Parameters
[in] ContextID_ptr Pointer to the HMAC context buffer allocated by the user, which is used for the HMAC machine operation.
[in] OperationMode One of the supported HASH modes, as defined in CRYS_HASH_OperationMode_t.
[in] key_ptr The pointer to the user's key buffer.
[in] keySize The key size in bytes.
CRYSError_t CRYS_HMAC_Update ( CRYS_HMACUserContext_t * ContextID_ptr ,
uint8_t * DataIn_ptr ,
size_t DataInSize
)

This function processes a block of data to be HASHed.

It receives a handle to the HMAC Context, and updates the HASH value with the new data.

Returns
CRYS_OK on success.
A non-zero value from crys_hmac_error.h on failure.
Parameters
[in] ContextID_ptr Pointer to the HMAC context buffer allocated by the user that is used for the HMAC machine operation.
[in] DataIn_ptr Pointer to the input data to be HASHed. The size of the scatter/gather list representing the data buffer is limited to 128 entries, and the size of each entry is limited to 64KB (fragments larger than 64KB are broken into fragments <= 64KB).
[in] DataInSize Byte size of the input data. Must be > 0. If not a multiple of the HASH block size (64 for SHA-1 and SHA-224/256, 128 for SHA-384/512), no further calls to CRYS_HMAC_Update are allowed in this context, and only CRYS_HMAC_Finish can be called to complete the computation.
