HCTR2 is a length-preserving encryption mode that is efficient on processors with instructions to accelerate AES and carryless multiplication, e.g. x86 processors with AES-NI and CLMUL, and ARM processors with the ARMv8 Crypto Extensions. HCTR2 is specified in https://ia.cr/2021/1441 "Length-preserving encryption with HCTR2" which shows that if AES is secure and HCTR2 is instantiated with AES, then HCTR2 is secure. Reference code and test vectors are at https://github.com/google/hctr2. As a length-preserving encryption mode, HCTR2 is suitable for applications such as storage encryption where ciphertext expansion is not possible, and thus authenticated encryption cannot be used. Currently, such applications usually use XTS, or in some cases Adiantum. XTS has the disadvantage that it is a narrow-block mode: a bitflip will only change 16 bytes in the resulting ciphertext or plaintext. This reveals more information to an attacker than necessary. HCTR2 is a wide-block mode, so it provides a stronger security property: a bitflip will change the entire message. HCTR2 is somewhat similar to Adiantum, which is also a wide-block mode. However, HCTR2 is designed to take advantage of existing crypto instructions, while Adiantum targets devices without such hardware support. Adiantum is also designed with longer messages in mind, while HCTR2 is designed to be efficient even on short messages. The first intended use of this mode in the kernel is for the encryption of filenames, where for efficiency reasons encryption must be fully deterministic (only one ciphertext for each plaintext) and the existing CBC solution leaks more information than necessary for filenames with common prefixes. HCTR2 uses two passes of an ε-almost-∆-universal hash function called POLYVAL and one pass of a block cipher mode called XCTR. POLYVAL is a polynomial hash designed for efficiency on modern processors and was originally specified for use in AES-GCM-SIV (RFC 8452). XCTR mode is a variant of CTR mode that is more efficient on little-endian machines. This patchset adds HCTR2 to Linux's crypto API, including generic implementations of XCTR and POLYVAL, hardware accelerated implementations of XCTR and POLYVAL for both x86-64 and ARM64, a templated implementation of HCTR2, and an fscrypt policy for using HCTR2 for filename encryption.
