Secure Element Message Authentication Codes

Description

Generation and authentication of Message Authentication Codes (MACs) using a secure element can be done either as a single function call (via the psa_drv_se_mac_generate_t or psa_drv_se_mac_verify_t functions), or in parts using the following sequence:

  • psa_drv_se_mac_setup_t
  • psa_drv_se_mac_update_t
  • psa_drv_se_mac_update_t
  • ...
  • psa_drv_se_mac_finish_t or psa_drv_se_mac_finish_verify_t

If a previously started secure element MAC operation needs to be terminated, it should be done so by the psa_drv_se_mac_abort_t. Failure to do so may result in allocated resources not being freed or in other undefined behavior.

Return values
PSA_SUCCESSSuccess.

◆ psa_drv_se_mac_update_t

typedef psa_status_t(* psa_drv_se_mac_update_t) (void *op_context, const uint8_t *p_input, size_t input_length)

A function that continues a previously started secure element MAC operation.

Parameters
