Detailed Description

WAGE authenticated encryption algorithm.

WAGE is an authenticated encryption algorithm that is built around the 259-bit WAGE permutation. The algorithm has a 128-bit key, a 128-bit nonce, and a 128-bit authentication tag. It is an evolution of the WG series of stream ciphers.

Function Documentation

int wage_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 WAGE.

Parameters
mBuffer to receive the plaintext message on output.
mlenReceives the length of the plaintext message on output.
nsecSecret nonce - not used by this algorithm.
cBuffer that contains the ciphertext and authentication tag to decrypt.
clenLength of the input data in bytes, which includes the ciphertext and the 16 byte authentication tag.
adBuffer that contains associated data to authenticate along with the packet but which does not need to be encrypted.
adlenLength of the associated data in bytes.
npubPoints to the public nonce for the packet which must be 16 bytes in length.
kPoints 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.
