¦ Notes and remarks about the above-defined macros ¦
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The main difference between the standard AES methods is in their key-expansion
process. So for example, AES-128-GCM and AES-256-GCM are pretty much similar
except for their key size and a minor change in the KeyExpansion function.
* In EBC/CBC/XEX modes, the size of input must be a multiple of block-size.
Otherwise it needs to be padded. The simplest (default) way of padding is to
fill the rest of block by zeros. Two standard methods for padding are PKCS#7
and ISO/IEC 7816-4, which can be enabled by the AES_PADDING macro.
* The FPE mode has two distinct NIST-approved algorithms, namely FF1 and FF3-1.
Use the FF_X macro to change the encryption method, which is FF1 by default.
The early version of FF3 required 8-byte tweaks. But this turned out to have
vulnerabilities and so it was reduced to 7 bytes in the FF3-1.
The input and output strings of FPE functions must be consisted of a fixed
set of characters called "the alphabet". Here, the default alphabet is the
set of digits {'0'...'9'}. If you want to use a different alphabet, set the
CUSTOM_ALPHABET macro and refer to the <micro_fpe.h> header. This header is
required only when a custom alphabet has to be defined, and contains some
illustrative examples and clear guidelines on how to do so.
* Many reference texts may use the terms "nonce" and "initialization vector"
interchangeably, but technically they are not the same. Sometimes nonce is
a part of the I.V, which itself can either be a full block or a partial one.
In CBC, CFB and OFB modes, the provided IV must be a full block. In pure CTR
(CTR_NA) mode, the IV can either be a full block, or a 96 bit one —which is
also called nonce. In the latter case, counting begins at CTR_STARTVALUE.
* In AEAD modes, the size of nonce and tag might be a parameter of the algorithm
such that changing them affect the results. The GCM and EAX modes support
arbitrary sizes for nonce. In CCM, the nonce length may vary from 8 to 13
bytes. Also the tag size is an EVEN number between 4..16. In OCB, the nonce
size is 1..15 and the tag is 0..16 bytes. Note that the "calculated" tag-
size is always 16 bytes which is then truncated to the desired values. So in
encryption functions, the provided buffer for tag must be 16 bytes long.
* In most functions, as you may notice, first the entire input data is copied
to the output and then the encryption process is carried out on its buffer.
This is a very useful feature especially when the memory is limited, as you
can perform "in-place encryption" on the input data and there is no need to
allocate a separate buffer for the output. But please note that the `memcpy`
function has undefined behavior if its source and destination are the same.
So in such cases, you can simply delete the memcpy(...); line.
* For the EAX mode of operation, the IEEE-1703 standard defines EAX' which is a
modified version that combines AAD and nonce. Also the tag size is fixed on
4 bytes. So EAX-prime functions don't need to take additional authentication
data and tag-size as separate parameters. It has been proven that EAX' has
serious vulnerabilities and its usage is not recommended.
* In SIV mode, multiple separate units of authentication headers can be provided
for the nonce synthesis. Here we assume that only one unit of AAD (aData) is
sufficient, which is practically true.
* The key wrapping mode is also denoted by KW. In this mode, the input secret is
divided into 64bit blocks. Number of blocks is at least 2, and it is assumed
that no padding is required. For padding, the KWP mode must be used which is
easily implementable but left as an exercise! In the NIST SP800-38F document
you may find mentions of TKW which is based on 3DES and irrelevant here.
* Here is a technical tip for the keen minds who have managed to read this far:
Excessive use of macro definitions in code is generally not a good practice,
especially in large projects. As it may possibly cause some name-conflicts
and errors for macro redefinition. So you can either delete the unnecessary
macros and clean up the code, or undef macros at the end of the source file
(i.e. write: #ifdef MACRO \ #undef MACRO \ #endif). Or replace their names
with some unique ones that surely won't be used elsewhere. For example,
rename the CTR macro above to MICRO_AES_CTR_MODE or something like that.
* Let me explain three extra options that are defined in the source file. If the
length of the input cipher/plain text is 'always' less than 4KB, you can
enable the SMALL_CIPHER macro to save a few bytes in the compiled code. This
assumption is likely to be valid for some embedded systems and small-scale
applications. Furthermore, enabling the DISCARD_SUBROUTINES macro may have a
positive effect on the speed while increasing the size of compiled code.
Nonetheless, it is also possible to get different results sometimes.
The INCREASE_SECURITY macro —as its name suggests, is dealing with security
considerations. For example, since the RoundKey is declared as static array
it might get exposed to some attacks. By enabling this macro, round-keys are
wiped out at the end of ciphering operations. However, please keep in mind
that this is NOT A GUARANTEE against side-channel attacks.
