We tweaked ChaCha to arrive at the IETF's implementation specified by RFC 7539. We are not sure how to handle block counter wrap. At the moment the caller is responsible for managing it. We were not able to find a reference implementation so we disable SIMD implementations like SSE, AVX, NEON and Power4. We need the wide block tests for corner cases to ensure our implementation is correct.
Commit 3ed38e42f6 added the POWER8 infrastructure for GCM mode. It also added GCM_SetKeyWithoutResync_VMULL, GCM_Multiply_VMULL and GCM_Reduce_VMULL. This commit adds the remainder, which includes GCM_AuthenticateBlocks_VMULL.
GCC is OK on Linux (ppc64-le) and AIX (ppc64-be). We may need some touchups for XLC compiler
This is the first of possibly two or three for Borland compilers. We have to be careful because its very easy to break something due to math overloads with other compilers like SunCC or XL/C
This reverts commit eb3b27a6a5. The change broke GCC 4.8 and unknown version of Clang on OS X. UB reported the OS X break, and JW found duplicated the break on a ARM CubieTruck with GCC 4.8.
This should have happened when we removed most of MAINTAIN_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY artifacts. Its not practical move SHA1 into Weak:: namespace or "typedef SHA256 SHA" because SHA1 is too intertwined at the moment.
In the interim, maybe we can place SHA1 in both CryptoPP:: and Weak:: namespaces. This will allow us to transition into Weak::SHA1 over time, and signal to users SHA1 should be avoided.
Move HTML header and footer into benchmark functions
Switch to <cmath> and standard math routines
Switch to <ctime> and standard clock and time routines
Move static variable^Cinto anonymous namespace
Add TimeToString function for printing start and end times
Since we switched to CRYPTOPP_ASSERT we don't have to worry about an accidental assert in production. We can now assert ValidateElement and ValidateGroup and let the code warn of potential problems during development.
This came about because ECGDSA inadvertently used GetGroupOrder() rather than GetSubgroupOrder(). The assert alerted to the problem area without the need for debugging
Also add missing validation functions to test.cpp. The test and functions were present, but only accessible with 'cryptest.ex v', where all the tests were run
