May I also ask where I can find the generated IV when using rfc4106(gcm(aes))? The old invocation used aead_givcrypt_set_crypt(req, iv->data, 0) which delivered the 64 bit value generated by seqiv. With the new invocation, I use the SGL with AD || IV space || PT ivlen = crypto_aead_ivsize(tfm); sg_init_table(sg, 3); sg_set_buf(&sg[0], aead_assoc->data, aead_assoc->len); /* iv->data should be filled by seqiv */ sg_set_buf(&sg[1], iv->data, ivlen); sg_set_buf(&sg[2], data->data, data->len + (enc ? authsize : 0)); aead_request_set_ad(req, aead_assoc->len, 0); aead_request_set_crypt(req, sg, sg, data->len + ivlen, iv->data); But in iv->data, there is nothing to be found after performing the encrypt operation.
