linux.git/crypto/xctr.c, branch v6.6.131 Clone of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git crypto: xctr - Add XCTR support 2022-06-10T08:40:16+00:00 Nathan Huckleberry nhuck@google.com 2022-05-20T18:14:53+00:00 17fee07a2ac577da18b44dd658a9c3c864281c49 Add a generic implementation of XCTR mode as a template. XCTR is a blockcipher mode similar to CTR mode. XCTR uses XORs and little-endian addition rather than big-endian arithmetic which has two advantages: It is slightly faster on little-endian CPUs and it is less likely to be implemented incorrect since integer overflows are not possible on practical input sizes. XCTR is used as a component to implement HCTR2. More information on XCTR mode can be found in the HCTR2 paper: https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/1441.pdf Signed-off-by: Nathan Huckleberry <nhuck@google.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Reviewed-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
