Crypto Library, lib/silccrypt/
==============================
- o SilcStack to APIs.
+ o Add silc_crypto_init and silc_crypto_uninit. The _init should take
+ SilcStack that will act as global memory pool for all of crypto
+ library. It should not be necessary anymore to separately register
+ default ciphers, HMACs, etc, the _init would do that. However, if
+ user after _init calls silc_pkcs_register, for example, it would take
+ preference over the default once, ie. user can always dictate the
+ order of algorithms. (***DONE)
o Add fingerprint to SilcSILCPublicKey and retrieval to silcpk.h, and
possibly to silcpkcs.h.
o Change SILC PKCS API to asynchronous, so that accelerators can be used.
All PKCS routines should now take callbacks as argument and they should
- be delivered to SilcPKCSObject and SilcPKCSAlgorithm too.
-
- /* Signature computation callback */
- typedef void (*SilcPKCSSignCb)(SilcBool success,
- const unsigned char *signature,
- SilcUInt32 signature_len,
- void *context);
-
- /* Signature verification callback */
- typedef void (*SilcPKCSVerifyCb)(SilcBool success, void *context);
-
- /* Encryption callback */
- typedef void (*SilcPKCSEncryptCb)(SilcBool success,
- const unsigned char *encrypted,
- SilcUInt32 encrypted_len,
- void *context);
-
- /* Decryption callback */
- typedef void (*SilcPKCSDecryptCb)(SilcBool success,
- const unsigned char *decrypted,
- SilcUInt32 decrypted_len,
- void *context);
-
- Either add new _async functions or add the callbacks to existing API
- and if the callback is NULL then the API is not async and if provided
- it may be async. For example;
-
- SilcBool silc_pkcs_sign(SilcPrivateKey private_key,
- unsigned char *src, SilcUInt32 src_len,
- unsigned char *dst, SilcUInt32 dst_size,
- SilcUInt32 *dst_len,
- SilcBool compute_hash, SilcHash hash,
- SilcPKCSSignCb async_sign,
- void *async_sign_context);
-
- (if this is done then there's no reason why the buffers in the
- callbacks cannot be the ones user gives here) or allow only async:
-
- SilcBool silc_pkcs_sign(SilcPrivateKey private_key,
- unsigned char *src, SilcUInt32 src_len,
- SilcBool compute_hash, SilcHash hash,
- SilcPKCSSignCb async_sign,
- void *async_sign_context);
-
- or add new:
-
- SilcBool silc_pkcs_sign_async(SilcPrivateKey private_key,
- unsigned char *src, SilcUInt32 src_len,
- SilcBool compute_hash, SilcHash hash,
- SilcPKCSSignCb async_sign,
- void *async_sign_context);
+ be delivered to SilcPKCSObject and SilcPKCSAlgorithm too. (***DONE)
o Change PKCS Algorithm API to take SilcPKCSAlgorithm as argument to
encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify functions. We may need to for exmaple
check the alg->hash, supported hash functions. Maybe deliver it also
- to all other functions in SilcPKCSAlgorithm to be consistent.
+ to all other functions in SilcPKCSAlgorithm to be consistent. (***DONE)
o Add DSS support. Take implementation from Tom or make it yourself.
o SILC Accelerator API. Provides generic way to use different kind of
accelerators. Basically implements SILC PKCS API so that SilcPublicKey
and SilcPrivateKey can be used but they call the accelerators.
+ (***DONE)
- Something in the lines of (preliminary):
-
- /* Register accelerator to system. Initializes the accelerator. */
- Varargs are optional accelerator specific init parameteres. */
- SilcBool silc_acc_register(SilcAccelerator acc, ...);
-
- silc_acc_register(softacc, "min_threads", 2, "max_threads", 16, NULL);
-
- /* Unregister accelerator. Uninitializes the accelerator. */
- SilcBool silc_acc_unregister(const SilcAccelerator acc);
-
- /* Return list of the registered accelerators */
- SilcDList silc_acc_get_supported(void);
-
- /* Find existing accelerator. `name' is accelerator's name. */
- SilcAccelerator silc_acc_find(const char *name);

-
- /* Return the underlaying public key */
- SilcPublicKey silc_acc_get_public_key(SilcAccelerator acc,
- SilcPublicKey public_key);
-
- /* Return the underlaying private key */
- SilcPrivateKey silc_acc_get_private_key(SilcAccelerator acc,
- SilcPrivateKey private_key);
-
- typedef struct SilcAcceleratorObject {
- const char *name; /* Accelerator's name */
- SilcBool (*init)(va_list va); /* Initialize accelerator */
- SilcBool (*uninit)(void); /* Uninitialize accelerator */
- const SilcPKCSAlgorithm *pkcs; /* Accelerated PKCS algorithms */
- const SilcDHObject *dh; /* Accelerated Diffie-Hellmans */
- const SilcCipherObject *cipher; /* Accelerated ciphers */
- const SilcHashObject *hash; /* Accelerated hashes */
- const SilcHmacObject *hmac; /* Accelerated HMACs */
- const SilcRngObject *rng; /* Accelerated RNG's */
- } *SilcAccelerator, SilcAcceleratorStruct;
-
- Allows accelerator to have multiple accelerators (cipher, hash etc)
- and multiple different algorithms and implementations (SHA-1, SHA-256 etc).
-
- SilcPublicKey->SilcSILCPublicKey->RsaPublicKey accelerated as:
- SilcPublicKey->SilcAcceleratorPublicKey->SilcSoftAccPublicKey->
- SilcPublicKey->SilcSILCPublicKey->RsaPublicKey
-
- silc_acc_public_key creates SilcPublicKey and SilcAcceleratorPublicKey
- and acc->pkcs->import_public_key creates SilcSoftAccPublicKey.
+ o Add complete wrapper for PKCS API in silcacc_pkcs.c.
o Implement software accelerator. It is a thread pool system where the
- public key and private key operations are executed in threads.
+ public key and private key operations are executed in threads.
