* sverker/crypto-aes-ctr-stream/OTP-9275: Stepping vsn for R14B03 Add true streaming AES (CTR) encryption and streaming HMAC operations
2011-05-18Add true streaming AES (CTR) encryption and streaming HMAC operationsTravis Jensen
The current crypto module implementations require all of the data being encrypted or authenticated to be in memory at one time. When trying to encrypt or authenticate a large file (on order of GBs), this is problematic. The implementation of AES CTR uses the same underlying implementation as aes_ctr_[en|de]crypt, but hands the state back to the client after every operation. The HMAC implementation differs from the previous implementations of sha_mac and md5_mac. The old implementations did not utilize the OpenSSL HMAC implementation. In order to ensure that I didn't implement something incorrectly, I chose to use the OpenSSL HMAC implementation directly, since it handles streaming as well. This has the added side benefit of allowing other hash functions to be used as desired (for instances, I added support for ripemd160 hashing). While I haven't done this, it seems like the existing md5_mac and sha_mac functions could either be depricated or redefined in terms of the new hmac_ functions. Update AES CTR and HMAC streaming with code review input Ensure that memcpy operations in hmac operations are being size checked properly. Rename aes_ctr_XXX_with_state to aes_ctr_stream_XXX. Remove redundant hmac_init_[sha|md5|ripemd160] functions. Fix documentation for hmac_final_n. Fix possible error using negative value as a marker on an unsigned int Now, use a separate marker and add a unit test to test specifically for a case where HashLen is larger than the underlying resultant hash. Revert "Fix possible error using negative value as a marker on an unsigned int" This reverts commit 59cb177aa96444c0fd3ace6d01f7b8a70dd69cc9. Resolve buffer overflow posibility on an unsigned int. Change handling the marker for HashLen to use the fact that a second parameter that has to be the the HashLen was passed. Also, ensure that HashLen parameter is positive.

This change fixes a bunch of small (and a few less small) typos and other errors in various modules that I've spotted throughout my travels.

2010-01-26OTP-8343 The documentation is now possible to build in an open sourceLars G Thorsen
environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features are added in the documentation build process. - The arity calculation is updated. - The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are removed in the generated links so the links will look like http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2 instead of http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2 - Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is loaded. - A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan) - Moved some man pages to more apropriate sections, pages in section 4 moved to 5 and pages in 6 moved to 7. - The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.
2009-12-11Add Blowfish ECB, CBC and OFB modesPaul Oliver
My previous patch added CFB mode. This patch adds all remaining Blowfish modes. According to the man page http://www.fifi.org/cgi-bin/man2html/usr/share/man/man3/blowfish.3ssl.gz these are available in all versions of OpenSSL. [ Squashed in elimination of signed/unsigned compiler warnings. /bg ]
