Module Cryptokit.Block

module Block: sig .. end

The Block module provides classes that implements popular block ciphers, chaining modes, and wrapping of a block cipher as a general transform or as a hash function. The classes can be composed in a Lego-like fashion, facilitating the integration of new block ciphers, modes, etc.

class type block_cipher = object .. end

Abstract interface for a block cipher.

Deriving transforms and hashes from block ciphers

class cipher : block_cipher -> Cryptokit.transform

Wraps a block cipher as a general transform.

class cipher_padded_encrypt : Cryptokit.Padding.scheme -> block_cipher -> Cryptokit.transform

Like Cryptokit.Block.cipher, but performs padding on the input data as specified by the first argument.

class cipher_padded_decrypt : Cryptokit.Padding.scheme -> block_cipher -> Cryptokit.transform

Like Cryptokit.Block.cipher, but removes padding on the output data as specified by the first argument.

class mac : ?iv:string -> ?pad:Cryptokit.Padding.scheme -> block_cipher -> Cryptokit.hash

Build a MAC (keyed hash function) from the given block cipher.

class mac_final_triple : ?iv:string -> ?pad:Cryptokit.Padding.scheme -> block_cipher -> block_cipher -> block_cipher -> Cryptokit.hash

Build a MAC (keyed hash function) from the given block ciphers c1, c2 and c3.
