KNET_HAN...ET_CONFIG(3) Kronosnet Programmer's Manual KNET_HAN...ET_CONFIG(3) NAME knet_handle_crypto_set_config - set up packet cryptographic signing & en- cryption SYNOPSIS #include <libknet.h> int knet_handle_crypto_set_config( knet_handle_t knet_h, struct knet_handle_crypto_cfg *knet_handle_crypto_cfg, uint8_t config_num ); DESCRIPTION knet_handle_crypto_set_config knet_h - pointer to knet_handle_t knet_handle_crypto_cfg - pointer to a knet_handle_crypto_cfg structure crypto_model should contain the model name. Currently only "openssl" and "nss" are supported. Setting to "none" will disable crypto. crypto_cipher_type should contain the cipher algo name. It can be set to "none" to disable encryption. Currently supported by "nss" model: "aes128", "aes192" and "aes256". "openssl" model supports more modes and it strictly depends on the openssl build. See: EVP_get_cipherbyname openssl API call for details. crypto_hash_type should contain the hashing algo name. It can be set to "none" to disable hashing. Currently supported by "nss" model: "md5", "sha1", "sha256", "sha384" and "sha512". "openssl" model supports more modes and it strictly depends on the openssl build. See: EVP_get_digestby- name openssl API call for details. private_key will contain the private shared key. It has to be at least KNET_MIN_KEY_LEN long. private_key_len length of the provided private_key. config_num - knet supports 2 concurrent sets of crypto configurations, to allow runtime change of crypto config and keys. On RX both configurations will be used sequentially in an attempt to decrypt/validate a packet (when 2 are available). Note that this might slow down performance during a re- configuration. See also knet_handle_crypto_rx_clear_traffic(3) to enable / disable processing of clear (unencrypted) traffic. For TX, the user needs to specify which configuration to use via knet_handle_crypto_use_config(3). config_num accepts 0, 1 or 2 as the value. 0 should be used when all crypto is being disabled. Calling knet_handle_crypto_set_config(3) twice with the same config_num will REPLACE the configuration and NOT activate the second key. If the configuration is currently in use EBUSY will be returned. See also knet_handle_crypto_use_config(3). The correct sequence to perform a runtime rekey / reconfiguration is:knet_handle_crypto_set_config(..., 1). -> first time config, will use config1 knet_handle_crypto_use_config(..., 1). -> switch TX to config 1 knet_handle_crypto_set_config(..., 2). -> install config2 and use it only for RX knet_handle_crypto_use_config(..., 2). -> switch TX to config 2 knet_handle_crypto_set_config(..., 1). -> with a "none"/"none"/"none" con- figuration to release the resources previously allocated The application is responsible for synchronizing calls on the nodes to make sure the new con- fig is in place before switching the TX configuration. Failure to do so will result in knet being unable to talk to some of the nodes. Implementation notes/current limitations:enabling crypto, will increase la- tency as packets have to processed. enabling crypto might reduce the overall throughtput due to crypto data overhead. private/public key encryption/hashing is not currently planned. crypto key must be the same for all hosts in the same knet instance / con- figX. it is safe to call knet_handle_crypto_set_config multiple times at runtime. The last config will be used. IMPORTANT: a call to knet_han- dle_crypto_set_config can fail due to: 1) failure to obtain locking 2) er- rors to initializing the crypto level. This can happen even in subsequent calls to knet_handle_crypto_set_config(3). A failure in crypto init will restore the previous crypto configuration if any. STRUCTURES Structure passed into knet_handle_set_crypto_config() to determine the crypto options to use for the current communications handle struct knet_handle_crypto_cfg { char crypto_model[16]; /* Model to use. nss, openssl, etc */ char crypto_cipher_type[16]; /* Cipher type name for encryption. aes 256 etc */ char crypto_hash_type[16]; /* Hash type for digest. sha512 etc */ unsigned char private_key[KNET_MAX_KEY_LEN]; /* Private key */ unsigned int private_key_len; /* Length of private key */ }; RETURN VALUE knet_handle_crypto_set_config returns: 0 on success -1 on error and errno is set. -2 on crypto subsystem initialization error. No errno is provided at the moment (yet).
