Module Netsys_ciphers

module Netsys_ciphers: sig .. end

Symmetric cryptographic ciphers

type padding = [ `CTS | `Length | `None | `_8000 ]

Padding schemes:

`None: no padding. The text to encrypt/decrypt must be a multiple of block_constraint bytes
`Length: Pad the last block with n bytes of code n
`_8000: Pad with one byte 0x80 and as many zeros as needed to fill the block (this may add one or two blocks)
`CTS: Use "Ciphertext Stealing". There is a minimum length of the message to encrypt of two blocks.

class type cipher_ctx = object .. end

class type cipher = object .. end

The following functions use the current crypto module (as retrieved by Netsys_crypto.current_symmetric_crypto), unless the impl argument is passed.

val ciphers : ?impl:(module Netsys_crypto_types.SYMMETRIC_CRYPTO) ->
       unit -> cipher list

List of supported ciphers

val find : ?impl:(module Netsys_crypto_types.SYMMETRIC_CRYPTO) ->
       string * string -> cipher

find (name,mode): get the cipher name in the passed mode.

The name conventionally follows the <uppercasestring>-<size> format, e.g. "AES-128" or "TWOFISH-128".

Modes are "ECB", "CBC", "OFB", "CTR", "STREAM", "GCM". Not every cipher is available in every mode.

val process_substring : (last:bool -> Netsys_types.memory -> Netsys_types.memory -> int * int) ->
       string -> int -> int -> string

process_substring p s pos len: If p is encrypt or decrypt from a cipher_ctx, p will be called to submit the data from string s, starting at position pos and length len.

The encrypted or decrypted string is returned.

val process_string : (last:bool -> Netsys_types.memory -> Netsys_types.memory -> int * int) ->
       string -> string

process_substring p s pos len: If p is encrypt or decrypt from a cipher_ctx, p will be called to submit the data from string s.

The encrypted or decrypted string is returned.
