"""Fast counter functions for CTR cipher modes.
|
|
|
|
CTR is a chaining mode for symmetric block encryption or decryption.
|
|
Messages are divideded into blocks, and the cipher operation takes
|
|
place on each block using the secret key and a unique *counter block*.
|
|
|
|
The most straightforward way to fulfil the uniqueness property is
|
|
to start with an initial, random *counter block* value, and increment it as
|
|
the next block is processed.
|
|
|
|
The block ciphers from `Crypto.Cipher` (when configured in *MODE_CTR* mode)
|
|
invoke a callable object (the *counter* parameter) to get the next *counter block*.
|
|
Unfortunately, the Python calling protocol leads to major performance degradations.
|
|
|
|
The counter functions instantiated by this module will be invoked directly
|
|
by the ciphers in `Crypto.Cipher`. The fact that the Python layer is bypassed
|
|
lead to more efficient (and faster) execution of CTR cipher modes.
|
|
|
|
An example of usage is the following:
|
|
|
|
>>> from Crypto.Cipher import AES
|
|
>>> from Crypto.Util import Counter
|
|
>>> from Crypto import Random
|
|
>>>
|
|
>>> nonce = Random.get_random_bytes(8)
|
|
>>> ctr = Counter.new(64, nonce)
|
|
>>> key = b'AES-128 symm key'
|
|
>>> plaintext = b'X'*1000000
|
|
>>> cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CTR, counter=ctr)
|
|
>>> ciphertext = cipher.encrypt(plaintext)
|

"""Create a stateful counter block function suitable for CTR encryption modes.
|
|
|
|
Each call to the function returns the next counter block.
|
|
Each counter block is made up by three parts::
|
|
|
|
prefix || counter value || postfix
|
|
|
|
The counter value is incremented by 1 at each call.
|
|
|
|
:Parameters:
|
|
nbits : integer
|
|
Length of the desired counter value, in bits. It must be a multiple of 8.
|
|
prefix : byte string
|
|
The constant prefix of the counter block. By default, no prefix is
|
|
used.
|
|
suffix : byte string
|
|
The constant postfix of the counter block. By default, no suffix is
|
|
used.
|
|
initial_value : integer
|
|
The initial value of the counter. Default value is 1.
|
|
little_endian : boolean
|
|
If *True*, the counter number will be encoded in little endian format.
|
|
If *False* (default), in big endian format.
|
|
allow_wraparound : boolean
|
|
This parameter is ignored.
|
|
:Returns:
|
|
An object that can be passed with the 'counter' parameter to a CTR mode
|
|
cipher.
|
|
|
|
It must hold that ``len(prefix) + nbits//8 + len(suffix)`` matches the
|
|
block size of the underlying block cipher.
