This module used (len, pointer) while (pointer, len) is more common in the
rest of the library, in particular it's what's used in the CMAC API that is
very comparable to Poly1305, so switch to (pointer, len) for consistency.
In addition to making the APIs of the various AEAD modules more consistent
with each other, it's useful to have an auth_decrypt() function so that we can
safely check the tag ourselves, as the user might otherwise do it in an
insecure way (or even forget to do it altogether).
While the old name is explicit and aligned with the RFC, it's also very long,
so with the mbedtls_ prefix prepended we get a 31-char prefix to each
identifier, which quickly conflicts with our 80-column policy.
The new name is shorter, it's what a lot of people use when speaking about
that construction anyway, and hopefully should not introduce confusion at
it seems unlikely that variants other than 20/1305 be standardised in the
foreseeable future.
This implementation is based off the description in RFC 7539.
The ChaCha20 code is also updated to provide a means of generating
keystream blocks with arbitrary counter values. This is used to
generated the one-time Poly1305 key in the AEAD construction.
Improve the position of the breakpoint to be set at a line of code that
is less likely to be optimised out by the compiler. Setting the breakpoint
at a place that can be easily optimised out by the compiler will cause the
gdb script to fail as it cannot match the source code line to the
compiled code. For this reason the breakpoint is now set at the fclose()
call which is very unlikely to be optimised out or there might be a
resource leak.
The gdb script loads the programs/test/zeroize program and feeds it as
imput its own source code. Then sets a breakpoint just before the last
program's return code and checks that every element in memory was
zeroized. Otherwise it signals a failure and terminates.
The test was added to all.sh.
The specification requires that numbers are the raw entropy (except for odd/
even) and at least 2^(nbits-0.5). If not, new random bits need to be used for
the next number. Similarly, if the number is not prime new random bits need to
be used.
