Detailed Description

Romulus-N authenticated encryption algorithm.

Romulus is a family of authenticated encryption algorithms that are built around the SKINNY-128-384+ tweakable block cipher. This API implements the Romulus-N variant which has a 128-bit key, a 128-bit nonce, and a 128-bit tag.

Function Documentation

int romulus_n_aead_decrypt ( unsigned char *  m,
size_t *  mlen,
const unsigned char *  c,
size_t  clen,
const unsigned char *  ad,
size_t  adlen,
const unsigned char *  npub,
const unsigned char *  k 
)

Decrypts and authenticates a packet with Romulus-N.

Parameters
mBuffer to receive the plaintext message on output.
mlenReceives the length of the plaintext message on output.
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.
