[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] [RFC] cryptodev: move AES-GMAC to aead algorithms

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] [RFC] cryptodev: move AES-GMAC to aead algorithms

[Arek Kusztal]

This is proposal to move AES-GMAC algorithm to AEAD set
of algorithms. It is however not 100% conformant GMAC as instead of aad pointer
data to be authenticated is passed normally and  aead.data.length field
is used to specify length of data to be authenticated.
Reason behind this move is that GMAC is variant of GCM so it may
simplify implementations that are using these algorithms (mainly IPsec).
AES-GMAC therefore needs to be removed from auth algorithms.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] [RFC] cryptodev: move AES-GMAC to aead algorithms

[Kusztal, ArkadiuszX]

Hi All,

I would give bit more introduction to this change:
Right now AES-GMAC is auth only algorithm (previously it was cipher+auth -> GCM + GMAC),
but since it is variant of AES-GCM implementation it should probably be AEAD right now (people often wondering why at all it is auth instead of AEAD).
There are few possible implementations let me introduce two of them:
1) As in this patch GMAC is added to AEAD enum, aad_len is set to 0, aad_pointer is unused and authentication length is set in aead.data.length - this is probably the easiest one, but not totally conformant to GMAC spec.
2) Another option could be to use GCM only and add new field aad_len in rte_crypto_sym_op, so when cipher_len == 0 GMAC is used -> this would be conformant implementation but bit trickier.

Sorry if I not included someone in cc list.

I think  this makes sense in light of how AES-GMAC support is specified

Any more comments or anyone see any potential issues with this approach?

I am ok to take this patch in 20.11 release. Could you please send a new version
With complete patch, removing all references of RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_AES_GMAC.

Please explain in the release notes and deprecation notice as well.

We're ok to live with it as is and don’t plan to send a patch at this time.
