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.

Data Structures

struct psa_drv_se_mac_t
A struct containing all of the function pointers needed to perform secure element MAC operations.
