Detailed Description

This file provides an API for the CCM authenticated encryption mode for block ciphers.

CCM combines Counter mode encryption with CBC-MAC authentication for 128-bit block ciphers.

Input to CCM includes the following elements:

Payload - data that is both authenticated and encrypted.
Associated data (Adata) - data that is authenticated but not encrypted, For example, a header.
Nonce - A unique value that is assigned to the payload and the associated data.

Definition of CCM: http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-38C/SP800-38C_updated-July20_2007.pdf RFC 3610 "Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM)"

Related: RFC 5116 "An Interface and Algorithms for Authenticated Encryption"

Definition of CCM*: IEEE 802.15.4 - IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks Integer representation is fixed most-significant-octet-first order and the representation of octets is most-significant-bit-first order. This is consistent with RFC 3610.

This function performs a CCM authenticated decryption of a buffer.

Parameters

ctx	The CCM context to use for decryption. This must be initialized and bound to a key.

iv_len	The length of the nonce in Bytes: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13. The length L of the message length field is 15 - `iv_len`.
add	The additional data field. This must be a readable buffer of at least that `add_len` Bytes..
add_len	The length of additional data in Bytes. This must be less than 2^16 - 2^8.
input	The buffer holding the input data. If `length` is greater than zero, `input` must be a readable buffer of at least that length.

tag	The buffer holding the authentication field. This must be a readable buffer of at least `tag_len` Bytes.
tag_len	The length of the authentication field to generate in Bytes: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16.

		unsigned char *	output,
		unsigned char *	tag,
		size_t	tag_len
	)

This function encrypts a buffer using CCM.

Note: The tag is written to a separate buffer. To concatenate the tag with the output, as done in RFC-3610: Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM), use tag = output + length, and make sure that the output buffer is at least length + tag_len wide.

Parameters

ctx	The CCM context to use for encryption. This must be initialized and bound to a key.
length	The length of the input data in Bytes.
iv	The initialization vector (nonce). This must be a readable buffer of at least `iv_len` Bytes.

Returns: 0 on success.; A CCM or cipher-specific error code on failure.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ mbedtls_ccm_init()
