[PATCH 0/2] crypto: talitos: Add AES-XTS mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This adds the AES-XTS mode, supported by the Freescale SEC 3.3.2.

One of the nice things about this hardware is that it knows how to deal
with encrypt/decrypt requests that are larger than sector size, but that 
also requires that that the sector size be passed into the crypto engine
as an XTS cipher context parameter.

When a request is larger than the sector size the sector number is
incremented by the talitos engine and the tweak key is re-calculated
for the new sector.

I've tested this with 256bit and 512bit keys (tweak and data keys of 128bit
and 256bit) to ensure interoperability with the software AES-XTS
implementation.  All testing was done using dm-crypt/LUKS with
aes-xts-plain64.

Is there a better solution that just hard coding the sector size to
(1<<SECTOR_SHIFT)?  Maybe dm-crypt should be modified to pass the
sector size along with the plain/plain64 IV to an XTS algorithm?
