Functions
-
static inline int cipher_query_hwcaps(const struct device *dev)
Query the crypto hardware capabilities.
This API is used by the app to query the capabilities supported by the crypto device. Based on this the app can specify a subset of the supported options to be honored for a session during cipher_begin_session().
- Parameters
dev – Pointer to the device structure for the driver instance.
- Returns
bitmask of supported options.
-
static inline int cipher_begin_session(const struct device *dev, struct cipher_ctx *ctx, enum cipher_algo algo, enum cipher_mode mode, enum cipher_op optype)
Setup a crypto session.
Initializes one time parameters, like the session key, algorithm and cipher mode which may remain constant for all operations in the session. The state may be cached in hardware and/or driver data state variables.
- Parameters
dev – Pointer to the device structure for the driver instance.
ctx – Pointer to the context structure. Various one time parameters like key, keylength, etc. are supplied via this structure. The structure documentation specifies which fields are to be populated by the app before making this call.
algo – The crypto algorithm to be used in this session. e.g AES
mode – The cipher mode to be used in this session. e.g CBC, CTR
optype – Whether we should encrypt or decrypt in this session
- Returns
0 on success, negative errno code on fail.
-
static inline int cipher_free_session(const struct device *dev, struct cipher_ctx *ctx)
Cleanup a crypto session.
Clears the hardware and/or driver state of a previous session.
- Parameters
dev – Pointer to the device structure for the driver instance.
ctx – Pointer to the crypto context structure of the session to be freed.
- Returns
0 on success, negative errno code on fail.
-
static inline int cipher_callback_set(const struct device *dev, crypto_completion_cb cb)
Registers an async crypto op completion callback with the driver.
The application can register an async crypto op completion callback handler to be invoked by the driver, on completion of a prior request submitted via crypto_do_op(). Based on crypto device hardware semantics, this is likely to be invoked from an ISR context.
- Parameters
dev – Pointer to the device structure for the driver instance.
cb – Pointer to application callback to be called by the driver.
- Returns
0 on success, -ENOTSUP if the driver does not support async op, negative errno code on other error.
-
static inline int cipher_block_op(struct cipher_ctx *ctx, struct cipher_pkt *pkt)
Perform single-block crypto operation (ECB cipher mode). This should not be overloaded to operate on multiple blocks for security reasons.
- Parameters
ctx – Pointer to the crypto context of this op.
pkt – Structure holding the input/output buffer pointers.
- Returns
0 on success, negative errno code on fail.
-
static inline int cipher_cbc_op(struct cipher_ctx *ctx, struct cipher_pkt *pkt, uint8_t *iv)
Perform Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) crypto operation.
- Parameters
ctx – Pointer to the crypto context of this op.
pkt – Structure holding the input/output buffer pointers.
iv – Initialization Vector (IV) for the operation. Same IV value should not be reused across multiple operations (within a session context) for security.
- Returns
0 on success, negative errno code on fail.
-
static inline int cipher_ctr_op(struct cipher_ctx *ctx, struct cipher_pkt *pkt, uint8_t *iv)
Perform Counter (CTR) mode crypto operation.
- Parameters
ctx – Pointer to the crypto context of this op.
pkt – Structure holding the input/output buffer pointers.
iv – Initialization Vector (IV) for the operation. We use a split counter formed by appending IV and ctr. Consequently ivlen = keylen - ctrlen. ‘ctrlen’ is specified during session setup through the ‘ctx.mode_params.ctr_params.ctr_len’ parameter. IV should not be reused across multiple operations (within a session context) for security. The non-IV part of the split counter is transparent to the caller and is fully managed by the crypto provider.
- Returns
0 on success, negative errno code on fail.
-
static inline int cipher_ccm_op(struct cipher_ctx *ctx, struct cipher_aead_pkt *pkt, uint8_t *nonce)
Perform Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM) mode crypto operation.
- Parameters
ctx – Pointer to the crypto context of this op.
pkt – Structure holding the input/output, Assosciated Data (AD) and auth tag buffer pointers.
nonce – Nonce for the operation. Same nonce value should not be reused across multiple operations (within a session context) for security.
- Returns
0 on success, negative errno code on fail.
-
static inline int cipher_gcm_op(struct cipher_ctx *ctx, struct cipher_aead_pkt *pkt, uint8_t *nonce)
Perform Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) crypto operation.
- Parameters
ctx – Pointer to the crypto context of this op.
pkt – Structure holding the input/output, Associated Data (AD) and auth tag buffer pointers.
nonce – Nonce for the operation. Same nonce value should not be reused across multiple operations (within a session context) for security.
- Returns
0 on success, negative errno code on fail.

Public Members
-
struct cipher_ops ops
Place for driver to return function pointers to be invoked per cipher operation. To be populated by crypto driver on return from begin_session() based on the algo/mode chosen by the app.
-
union cipher_ctx.[anonymous] key
To be populated by the app before calling begin_session()
-
const struct device *device
The device driver instance this crypto context relates to. Will be populated by the begin_session() API.
-
void *drv_sessn_state
If the driver supports multiple simultaneously crypto sessions, this will identify the specific driver state this crypto session relates to. Since dynamic memory allocation is not possible, it is suggested that at build time drivers allocate space for the max simultaneous sessions they intend to support. To be populated by the driver on return from begin_session().
-
void *app_sessn_state
Place for the user app to put info relevant stuff for resuming when completion callback happens for async ops. Totally managed by the app.
-
union cipher_ctx.[anonymous] mode_params
Cypher mode parameters, which remain constant for all ops in a session. To be populated by the app before calling begin_session().
-
uint16_t keylen
Cryptographic keylength in bytes. To be populated by the app before calling begin_session()
-
uint16_t flags
How certain fields are to be interpreted for this session. (A bitmask of CAP_* below.) To be populated by the app before calling begin_session(). An app can obtain the capability flags supported by a hw/driver by calling cipher_query_hwcaps().
-
struct cipher_ops ops
-
struct cipher_pkt
- #include <cipher_structs.h>
Structure encoding IO parameters of one cryptographic operation like encrypt/decrypt.

-

To be populated by driver on return from cipher_xxx_op() and holds the size of the actual result.
