Hi there.
I'm new to openssl. I wrote a simple test application based on a demo.
I use AES in GCM mode with IV generated internally.
And I'm trying to reuse EVP_CIPHER_CTX - I call EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() only twice for encoder and decoder operations on the same key.
Each encode operation starts with EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(ctx_enc_, 0, 0, 0, 0);
The first encode|decode operations work well.
But second encode fails on EVP_EncryptUpdate(ctx_enc_, 0, ...) (set AAD) with error: "AC360000:error:1C800066:Provider routines:ossl_gcm_stream_update:cipher operation failed:providers\implementations\ciphers\ciphercommon_gcm.c:320:"
I think it is all because of EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(ctx_enc_, 0, 0, 0, 0); does NOT clear PROV_GCM_CTX::iv_state to IV_STATE_UNINITIALISED. It stays IV_STATE_FINISHED (just a thought, not checked as I use openssl as a lib).
So the questions are:
- Is it an error that EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(ctx_enc_, 0, 0, 0, 0) does NOT clear PROV_GCM_CTX::iv_state?
- How can I clear PROV_GCM_CTX::iv_state manually?
Thanks in advance.
