Detailed Description

Grain-128AEAD authenticated encryption algorithm.

Grain-128AEAD is an authenticated encryption algorithm based around a combination of a 128-bit linear feedback shift register (LFSR) and a 128-bit non-linear feedback shift register (NFSR). It is a member of the Grain family of stream ciphers.

Function Documentation

int grain128_aead_decrypt	(	unsigned char *	m,
		unsigned long long *	mlen,
		unsigned char *	nsec,
		const unsigned char *	c,
		unsigned long long	clen,
		const unsigned char *	ad,
		unsigned long long	adlen,
		const unsigned char *	npub,
		const unsigned char *	k
	)

Decrypts and authenticates a packet with Grain-128AEAD.

Parameters

m	Buffer to receive the plaintext message on output.
mlen	Receives the length of the plaintext message on output.
nsec	Secret nonce - not used by this algorithm.
c	Buffer that contains the ciphertext and authentication tag to decrypt.
clen	Length of the input data in bytes, which includes the ciphertext and the 8 byte authentication tag.
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 12 bytes in length.
k	Points to the 16 bytes of the key to use to decrypt the packet.

Returns

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