Secure Element Symmetric Ciphers#
Encryption and Decryption using secure element keys in block modes other than ECB must be done in multiple parts, using the following flow:
psa_drv_se_cipher_setup_t
psa_drv_se_cipher_set_iv_t
(optional depending upon block mode)psa_drv_se_cipher_update_t
psa_drv_se_cipher_update_t
...
psa_drv_se_cipher_finish_t
If a previously started secure element Cipher operation needs to be terminated, it should be done so by the psa_drv_se_cipher_abort_t
. Failure to do so may result in allocated resources not being freed or in other undefined behavior.
In situations where a PSA Cryptographic API implementation is using a block mode not-supported by the underlying hardware or driver, it can construct the block mode itself, while calling the psa_drv_se_cipher_ecb_t
function for the cipher operations.

psa_drv_se_cipher_set_iv_t#
typedef psa_status_t(* psa_drv_se_cipher_set_iv_t) (void *op_context, const uint8_t *p_iv, size_t iv_length) )(void *op_context, const uint8_t *p_iv, size_t iv_length)
A function that sets the initialization vector (if necessary) for an secure element cipher operation.
[inout] | op_context | A structure that contains the previously set up hardware-specific cipher context |
[in] | p_iv | A buffer containing the initialization vector |
[in] | iv_length | The size (in bytes) of the |
Rationale: The psa_se_cipher_*
operation in the PSA Cryptographic API has two IV functions: one to set the IV, and one to generate it internally. The generate function is not necessary for the drivers to implement as the PSA Crypto implementation can do the generation using its RNG features.
