Struct aes_gcm::AesGcm

pub struct AesGcm<Aes, NonceSize> where
    Aes: BlockCipher<BlockSize = U16>,
    Aes::ParBlocks: ArrayLength<Block<Aes>>,
    NonceSize: ArrayLength<u8>,  { /* fields omitted */ }

AES-GCM: generic over an underlying AES implementation and nonce size.

This type is generic to support substituting alternative AES implementations (e.g. embedded hardware implementations)

It is NOT intended to be instantiated with any block cipher besides AES! Doing so runs the risk of unintended cryptographic properties!

The N generic parameter can be used to instantiate AES-GCM with other nonce sizes, however it's recommended to use it with typenum::U12, the default of 96-bits.

If in doubt, use the built-in Aes128Gcm and Aes256Gcm type aliases.

Trait Implementations

impl<Aes, NonceSize> AeadInPlace for AesGcm<Aes, NonceSize> where
    Aes: BlockCipher<BlockSize = U16>,
    Aes::ParBlocks: ArrayLength<Block<Aes>>,
    NonceSize: ArrayLength<u8>, 

type NonceSize = NonceSize

The length of a nonce.

type TagSize = U16

The maximum length of the nonce.

type CiphertextOverhead = U0

The upper bound amount of additional space required to support a ciphertext vs. a plaintext.

fn encrypt_in_place_detached(
    &self,
    nonce: &GenericArray<u8, NonceSize>,
    associated_data: &[u8],
    buffer: &mut [u8]
) -> Result<Tag, Error>

Encrypt the data in-place, returning the authentication tag

fn decrypt_in_place_detached(
    &self,
    nonce: &GenericArray<u8, NonceSize>,
    associated_data: &[u8],
    buffer: &mut [u8],
    tag: &Tag
) -> Result<(), Error>

Decrypt the message in-place, returning an error in the event the provided authentication tag does not match the given ciphertext (i.e. ciphertext is modified/unauthentic)

fn encrypt_in_place(
    &self,
    nonce: &GenericArray<u8, Self::NonceSize>,
    associated_data: &[u8],
    buffer: &mut dyn Buffer
) -> Result<(), Error>

Encrypt the given buffer containing a plaintext message in-place.

fn decrypt_in_place(
    &self,
    nonce: &GenericArray<u8, Self::NonceSize>,
    associated_data: &[u8],
    buffer: &mut dyn Buffer
) -> Result<(), Error>

Decrypt the message in-place, returning an error in the event the provided authentication tag does not match the given ciphertext.
