Function Documentation

ascon128_aead_abort()

void ascon128_aead_abort

(

ascon128_state_t *

state

)

Aborts use of ASCON-128 in incremental mode.

Parameters

state

State to abort.

This function may be used any time after ascon128_aead_start() and before the encryption or decryption process is finalized to abort the process entirely and free the state.

ascon128_aead_decrypt_block()

void ascon128_aead_decrypt_block	(	ascon128_state_t *	state,
		const unsigned char *	in,
		unsigned char *	out,
		size_t	len
	)

Decrypts a block of data with ASCON-128 in incremental mode.

Parameters

state	State to use for ASCON-128 encryption operations.
in	Buffer that contains the ciphertext to decrypt.
out	Buffer to receive the plaintext output. Can be the same buffer as in.
len	Length of the plaintext and ciphertext in bytes.

ascon128_aead_decrypt_finalize()

int ascon128_aead_decrypt_finalize	(	ascon128_state_t *	state,
		const unsigned char *	tag
	)

Finalizes an incremental ASCON-128 decryption operation and checks the authentication tag.

Parameters

state	State to use for ASCON-128 encryption operations.
tag	Points to the buffer containing the ciphertext's authentication tag. Must be at least ASCON128_TAG_SIZE bytes in length.

Returns

0 on success, -1 if the authentication tag was incorrect, or some other negative number if there was an error in the parameters.

The contents of state will be freed by this function, destroying any sensitive material that may be present.

void ascon128_aead_encrypt_block	(	ascon128_state_t *	state,
		const unsigned char *	in,
		unsigned char *	out,
		size_t	len
	)

Encrypts a block of data with ASCON-128 in incremental mode.

Parameters

state	State to use for ASCON-128 encryption operations.
in	Buffer that contains the plaintext to encrypt.
out	Buffer to receive the ciphertext output. Can be the same buffer as in.
len	Length of the plaintext and ciphertext in bytes.

ascon128_aead_encrypt_finalize()

void ascon128_aead_encrypt_finalize	(	ascon128_state_t *	state,
		unsigned char *	tag
	)

Finalizes an incremental ASCON-128 encryption operation and generates the authentication tag.

Parameters

state	State to use for ASCON-128 encryption operations.
tag	Points to the buffer to receive the authentication tag. Must be at least ASCON128_TAG_SIZE bytes in length.

The contents of state will be freed by this function, destroying any sensitive material that may be present.

ascon128_aead_start()

void ascon128_aead_start	(	ascon128_state_t *	state,
		const unsigned char *	ad,
		size_t	adlen,
		const unsigned char *	npub,
		const unsigned char *	k
	)

Starts encrypting or decrypting a packet with ASCON-128 in incremental mode.

Parameters

state	State to initialize for ASCON-128 operations.
ad	Buffer that contains associated data to authenticate along with the packet but which does not need to be encrypted.
adlen	Length of the associated data in bytes.
npub	Points to the public nonce for the packet which must be 16 bytes in length.
k	Points to the 16 bytes of the key to use to encrypt the packet.

The following sequence can be used to encrypt a list of i plaintext message blocks (m) to produce i ciphertext message blocks (c) and an authentication tag (t).

ascon128_state_t state;
ascon128_aead_start(&state, ad, adlen, npub, k);
ascon128_aead_encrypt_block(&state, m1, c1, m1_len);
ascon128_aead_encrypt_block(&state, m2, c2, m2_len);
...;
ascon128_aead_encrypt_block(&state, mi, ci, mi_len);
ascon128_aead_encrypt_finalize(&state, t);

Decryption uses a similar sequence:

ascon128_state_t state;
ascon128_aead_start(&state, ad, adlen, npub, k);
ascon128_aead_decrypt_block(&state, c1, m1, c1_len);
ascon128_aead_decrypt_block(&state, c2, m2, c2_len);
...;
ascon128_aead_decrypt_block(&state, ci, mi, ci_len);
if (ascon128_aead_decrypt_finalize(&state, t) < 0)
    ...; // decryption has failed!

It is very important that the plaintext output from decryption be discarded if the authentication tag fails to verify. Applications should not use any of the data before verifying the tag.
