#include <arc4.h>

Inheritance diagram for MARC4_Base:

ARC4_Base VariableKeyLength< 16, 1, 256 > RandomNumberGenerator SymmetricCipher Algorithm StreamTransformation SimpleKeyingInterface Clonable Algorithm Clonable List of all members.

Detailed Description

Modified ARC4: it discards the first 256 bytes of keystream which may be weaker than the rest.

You can #MARC4 typedef rather than this class directly.

StreamTransformation& StreamTransformation::Ref  )  [inline, inherited]
 

return a reference to this object,

This function is useful for passing a temporary StreamTransformation object to a function that takes a non-const reference.

Definition at line 441 of file cryptlib.h.

virtual unsigned int StreamTransformation::OptimalBlockSize  )  const [inline, virtual, inherited]
 

returns the input block size that is most efficient for this cipher

Note:
optimal input length is n * OptimalBlockSize() - GetOptimalBlockSizeUsed() for any n > 0

References StreamTransformation::MandatoryBlockSize().

void StreamTransformation::ProcessLastBlock byte *  outString,
const byte *  inString,
unsigned int  length
[virtual, inherited]
 

for ciphers where the last block of data is special, encrypt or decrypt the last block of data

For now the only use of this function is for CBC-CTS mode.

const NameValuePairs params = g_nullNameValuePairs
[pure virtual, inherited]
 

set or reset the key of this object

Parameters:
params is used to specify Rounds, BlockSize, etc

Implemented in MessageAuthenticationCodeTemplate< BASE >, MessageAuthenticationCodeTemplate< CBC_MAC_Base< T > >, MessageAuthenticationCodeTemplate< HMAC_Base< T > >, MessageAuthenticationCodeTemplate< XMACC_Base< T > >, MessageAuthenticationCodeTemplate< DMAC_Base< T > >, and MessageAuthenticationCodeTemplate< PanamaMAC_Base< B > >.

bool SimpleKeyingInterface::IsResynchronizable  )  const [inline, inherited]
 

returns whether this object can be resynchronized (i.e. supports initialization vectors)

If this function returns true, and no IV is passed to SetKey() and CanUseStructuredIVs()==true, an IV of all 0's will be assumed.

virtual void SimpleKeyingInterface::GetNextIV byte *  IV  )  [inline, virtual, inherited]
 

get a secure IV for the next message

This method should be called after you finish encrypting one message and are ready to start the next one. After calling it, you must call SetKey() or Resynchronize() before using this object again. This method is not implemented on decryption objects.
