Typedef Documentation

◆ ifx_se_hash_operation_t

typedef struct ifx_se_hash_operation_s ifx_se_hash_operation_t

The type of the state data structure for multipart hash operations.

This is an implementation-defined struct. Applications should not make any assumptions about the content of this structure except as directed by the documentation of a specific implementation.

Function Documentation

◆ ifx_se_hash_setup()

ifx_se_status_t ifx_se_hash_setup ( ifx_se_hash_operation_t operation,
ifx_se_alg_fih_t  alg,
void *  ctx 
)

Set up a multipart hash operation.

The sequence of operations to calculate a hash (message digest) is as follows:

  1. Allocate an operation object which will be passed to all the functions listed here.
  2. Initialize the operation object with one of the methods described in the documentation for ifx_se_hash_operation_t, e.g. IFX_SE_HASH_OPERATION_INIT.
  3. Call ifx_se_hash_setup() to specify the algorithm.
  4. Call ifx_se_hash_update() zero, one or more times, passing a fragment of the message each time. The hash that is calculated is the hash of the concatenation of these messages in order.
  5. To calculate the hash, call ifx_se_hash_finish(). To compare the hash with an expected value, call ifx_se_hash_verify().

If an error occurs at any step after a call to ifx_se_hash_setup(), the operation will need to be reset by a call to ifx_se_hash_abort(). The application may call ifx_se_hash_abort() at any time after the operation has been initialized.

After a successful call to ifx_se_hash_setup(), the application must eventually terminate the operation. The following events terminate an operation:

Parameters
[in,out]operationThe operation object to set up. It must have been initialized as per the documentation for ifx_se_hash_operation_t and not yet in use.
[in]algThe hash algorithm to compute (IFX_SE_ALG_XXX value such that IFX_SE_ALG_IS_HASH(alg) is true).
[in]ctxThe pointer to the SE syscall context that contain a special syscall data (IPC release callback etc).
Return values
IFX_SE_SUCCESSSuccess.
IFX_SE_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTEDalg is not a supported hash algorithm.
IFX_SE_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENTalg is not a hash algorithm.
IFX_SE_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
IFX_SE_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_HARDWARE_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED
IFX_SE_ERROR_BAD_STATEThe operation state is not valid (it must be inactive).

◆ ifx_se_hash_update()

ifx_se_status_t ifx_se_hash_update ( ifx_se_hash_operation_t operation,
const ifx_se_fih_ptr_t  input,
ifx_se_fih_t  input_length,
void *  ctx 
)

Add a message fragment to a multipart hash operation.

The application must call ifx_se_hash_setup() before calling this function.

If this function returns an error status, the operation enters an error state and must be aborted by calling ifx_se_hash_abort().

Parameters
[in,out]operationActive hash operation.
[in]inputBuffer containing the message fragment to hash (encoded pointer to input data).
[in]input_lengthSize of the input buffer in bytes (size_t).
[in]ctxThe pointer to the SE syscall context that contain a special syscall data (IPC release callback etc).
Return values
IFX_SE_SUCCESSSuccess.
IFX_SE_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
IFX_SE_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_HARDWARE_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED
IFX_SE_ERROR_BAD_STATEThe operation state is not valid (it must be active).

◆ ifx_se_hash_finish()

ifx_se_status_t ifx_se_hash_finish ( ifx_se_hash_operation_t operation,
ifx_se_fih_ptr_t  hash,
ifx_se_fih_t  hash_size,
ifx_se_fih_ptr_t  hash_length,
void *  ctx 
)

Finish the calculation of the hash of a message.

The application must call ifx_se_hash_setup() before calling this function. This function calculates the hash of the message formed by concatenating the inputs passed to preceding calls to ifx_se_hash_update().

When this function returns successfully, the operation becomes inactive. If this function returns an error status, the operation enters an error state and must be aborted by calling ifx_se_hash_abort().

Warning
Applications should not call this function if they expect a specific value for the hash. Call ifx_se_hash_verify() instead. Beware that comparing integrity or authenticity data such as hash values with a function such as memcmp is risky because the time taken by the comparison may leak information about the hashed data which could allow an attacker to guess a valid hash and thereby bypass security controls.
Parameters
[in,out]operationActive hash operation.
[out]hashBuffer where the hash is to be written (encoded pointer to output buffer).
[in]hash_sizeSize of the hash buffer in bytes (size_t).
[out]hash_lengthOn success, the number of bytes that make up the hash value (encoded pointer to size_t variable). This is always IFX_SE_HASH_LENGTH(alg) where alg is the hash algorithm that is calculated.
[in]ctxThe pointer to the SE syscall context that contain a special syscall data (IPC release callback etc).
Return values
IFX_SE_SUCCESSSuccess.
IFX_SE_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALLThe size of the hash buffer is too small. You can determine a sufficient buffer size by calling IFX_SE_HASH_LENGTH(alg) where alg is the hash algorithm that is calculated.
IFX_SE_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
IFX_SE_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_HARDWARE_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED
IFX_SE_ERROR_BAD_STATEThe operation state is not valid (it must be active).

◆ ifx_se_hash_verify()

ifx_se_status_t ifx_se_hash_verify ( ifx_se_hash_operation_t operation,
const ifx_se_fih_ptr_t  hash,
ifx_se_fih_t  hash_length,
void *  ctx 
)

Finish the calculation of the hash of a message and compare it with an expected value.

The application must call ifx_se_hash_setup() before calling this function. This function calculates the hash of the message formed by concatenating the inputs passed to preceding calls to ifx_se_hash_update(). It then compares the calculated hash with the expected hash passed as a parameter to this function.

When this function returns successfully, the operation becomes inactive. If this function returns an error status, the operation enters an error state and must be aborted by calling ifx_se_hash_abort().

Note
Implementations shall make the best effort to ensure that the comparison between the actual hash and the expected hash is performed in constant time.
Parameters
[in,out]operationActive hash operation.
[in]hashBuffer containing the expected hash value (encoded pointer to input data).
[in]hash_lengthSize of the hash buffer in bytes (size_t).
[in]ctxThe pointer to the SE syscall context that contain a special syscall data (IPC release callback etc).
Return values
IFX_SE_SUCCESSThe expected hash is identical to the actual hash of the message.
IFX_SE_ERROR_INVALID_SIGNATUREThe hash of the message was calculated successfully, but it differs from the expected hash.
IFX_SE_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
IFX_SE_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_HARDWARE_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED
IFX_SE_ERROR_BAD_STATEThe operation state is not valid (it must be active).

◆ ifx_se_hash_abort()

ifx_se_status_t ifx_se_hash_abort ( ifx_se_hash_operation_t operation,
void *  ctx 
)

Abort a hash operation.

Aborting an operation frees all associated resources except for the operation structure itself. Once aborted, the operation object can be reused for another operation by calling ifx_se_hash_setup() again.

You may call this function any time after the operation object has been initialized by one of the methods described in ifx_se_hash_operation_t.

In particular, calling ifx_se_hash_abort() after the operation has been terminated by a call to ifx_se_hash_abort(), ifx_se_hash_finish() or ifx_se_hash_verify() is safe and has no effect.

Parameters
[in,out]operationInitialized hash operation.
[in]ctxThe pointer to the SE syscall context that contain a special syscall data (IPC release callback etc).
Return values
IFX_SE_SUCCESS
IFX_SE_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_HARDWARE_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED

◆ ifx_se_hash_compute()

ifx_se_status_t ifx_se_hash_compute ( ifx_se_alg_fih_t  alg,
const ifx_se_fih_ptr_t  input,
ifx_se_fih_t  input_length,
ifx_se_fih_ptr_t  hash,
ifx_se_fih_t  hash_size,
ifx_se_fih_ptr_t  hash_length,
void *  ctx 
)

Calculate the hash (digest) of a message.

Note
To verify the hash of a message against an expected value, use ifx_se_hash_compare() instead.
Parameters
[in]algThe hash algorithm to compute (IFX_SE_ALG_XXX value such that IFX_SE_ALG_IS_HASH(alg) is true).
[in]inputBuffer containing the message to hash (encoded pointer to input data).
[in]input_lengthSize of the input buffer in bytes (size_t).
[out]hashBuffer where the hash is to be written (encoded pointer to output buffer).
[in]hash_sizeSize of the hash buffer in bytes (size_t).
[out]hash_lengthOn success, the number of bytes that make up the hash value (encoded pointer to size_t variable). This is always IFX_SE_HASH_LENGTH(alg).
[in]ctxThe pointer to the SE syscall context that contain a special syscall data (IPC release callback etc).
Return values
IFX_SE_SUCCESSSuccess.
IFX_SE_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTEDalg is not supported or is not a hash algorithm.
IFX_SE_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
IFX_SE_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALLhash_size is too small
IFX_SE_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
IFX_SE_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_HARDWARE_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED

◆ ifx_se_hash_clone()

ifx_se_status_t ifx_se_hash_clone ( const ifx_se_hash_operation_t source_operation,
ifx_se_hash_operation_t target_operation,
void *  ctx 
)

Clone a hash operation.

This function copies the state of an ongoing hash operation to a new operation object. In other words, this function is equivalent to calling ifx_se_hash_setup() on target_operation with the same algorithm that source_operation was set up for, then ifx_se_hash_update() on target_operation with the same input that that was passed to source_operation. After this function returns, the two objects are independent, i.e. subsequent calls involving one of the objects do not affect the other object.

Parameters
[in]source_operationThe active hash operation to clone.
[in,out]target_operationThe operation object to set up. It must be initialized but not active.
[in]ctxThe pointer to the SE syscall context that contain a special syscall data (IPC release callback etc).
Return values
IFX_SE_SUCCESS
IFX_SE_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_HARDWARE_FAILURE
IFX_SE_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED
IFX_SE_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
IFX_SE_ERROR_BAD_STATEThe source_operation state is not valid (it must be active), or the target_operation state is not valid (it must be inactive).

◆ ifx_se_hash_operation_init()

static struct ifx_se_hash_operation_s ifx_se_hash_operation_init ( void  )
inlinestatic

Initialize the Hash operation context.

Returns
ifx_se_hash_operation_s structure
