NAME¶

kcapi_aead_encrypt_aio - asynchronously encrypt AEAD data (one shot)

SYNOPSIS¶

ssize_t kcapi_aead_encrypt_aio(struct kcapi_handle * handle, struct iovec * iniov, struct iovec * outiov, size_t iovlen, const uint8_t * iv, int access);

ARGUMENTS¶

handle

iniov

outiov

iovlen

iv

access

DESCRIPTION¶

The AEAD cipher operation requires the furnishing of the associated authentication data. In case such data is not required, it can be set to NULL and length value must be set to zero.

Each IOVEC is processed with its individual AEAD cipher operation. The memory holding the input data will receive the processed data.

The memory should be aligned at the page boundary using posix_memalign(sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE)), If it is not aligned at the page boundary, the vmsplice call may not send all data to the kernel.

The IV buffer must be exactly kcapi_cipher_ivsize bytes in size.

After invoking this function the caller should use kcapi_aead_getdata_output to obtain the resulting ciphertext and authentication tag references.

IMPORTANT NOTE¶

The kernel will only process sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) * ALG_MAX_PAGES at one time. Longer input data cannot be handled by the kernel.

return number of bytes encrypted upon success; a negative errno-style error code if an error occurred
