NAME

       kcapi_aead_encrypt - synchronously encrypt AEAD data (one shot)

SYNOPSIS

       int32_t kcapi_aead_encrypt(struct kcapi_handle * handle, const uint8_t * in,
                                  uint32_t inlen, const uint8_t * iv, uint8_t * out,
                                  uint32_t outlen, int access);

ARGUMENTS

       handle
           [in] cipher handle

       in
           [in] plaintext data buffer

       inlen
           [in] length of plaintext buffer

       iv
           [in] IV to be used for cipher operation

       out
           [out] data buffer holding cipher text and authentication tag

       outlen
           [in] length of out buffer

       access
           [in] kernel access type (KCAPI_ACCESS_HEURISTIC - use internal heuristic for fastest
           kernel access; KCAPI_ACCESS_VMSPLICE - use vmsplice access; KCAPI_ACCESS_SENDMSG -
           sendmsg access)

DESCRIPTION

       The AEAD cipher operation requires the furnishing of the associated authentication data.
       In case such data is not required, it can be set to NULL and length value must be set to
       zero.

       It is perfectly legal to use the same buffer as the plaintext and ciphertext pointers.
       That would mean that after the encryption operation, the plaintext is overwritten with the
       ciphertext.

       The memory should be aligned at the page boundary using
       posix_memalign(sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE)), If it is not aligned at the page boundary, the
       vmsplice call may not send all data to the kernel.

       The IV buffer must be exactly kcapi_cipher_ivsize bytes in size.

       After invoking this function the caller should use kcapi_aead_getdata_output to obtain the
       resulting ciphertext and authentication tag references.

IMPORTANT NOTE

       The kernel will only process sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) * ALG_MAX_PAGES at one time. Longer
       input data cannot be handled by the kernel.

       return number of bytes encrypted upon success; a negative errno-style error code if an
       error occurred
