[11/40] cryptodev: remove asym crypto next xform
Checks
Commit Message
- removed asymnetric crypto xform next field.
Rationale behind having chaining in symmetric crypto
was a fact that encryption and authentication are usually
done on the same set of data independent of algorithm.
HW usually will be able to handle it in one PCI call.
In asymmetric there is no such relation between algorithms,
therefore next field would be useless.

Please check documentation "doc/guides/prog_guide/cryptodev_lib.rst"
Not all asymmetric crypto xforms are supported for chaining. Currently supported
asymmetric crypto chaining is Diffie-Hellman private key generation followed by
public generation. Also, currently API does not support chaining of symmetric and
asymmetric crypto xforms.

[Arek] And why do chaining when this can be done even with one bit flag.

[Arek] - This is one unlikely scenario to combine symmetric and asymmetric. One I can think of was once proposed DH + DSA integration for random number. But not much else, although we can keep it around for a while.

I believe it is OK to remove next. @Kiran Kumar Kokkilagadda/Anoob please confirm.
If we are removing it, then documentation should be in sync.

Yes it is highly unlikely to use this combination.

[Arek] - although, we may keep it for now, I am not dropping it in v2. DH priv + pub can be done with priv_key.len = 0 -> similar as 'k' in ecdsa when k.data = NULL.
But I do not see any situation for now it will be useful, it may be dropped later if not application found.

[Anoob] We may need this support when we add EdDSA support. That would involve a asymmetric operation after hash is generated (symmetric).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EdDSA#Ed25519
And, asymmetric chaining may become useful when we have PMDs capable of doing more operations together (like the case with EdDSA). So my preference would be to retain the 'next' field in asym crypto xform.

[Arek] - that is very good point, however to implement EdDSA as chaining would mean that:
- we need to implement EdDSA internals in DPDK
- and EdDSA (in hash option, where actually picking hash would have sense) is not one hash but multiple hash operation, so we would have to had multiple chaining with operations in between
- and we would have to compute R and S separately.
- If PMD does not support one-pass EdDSA - well this is something that should definitely discuss, but having any crypto internals in DPDK is not probably an option?

[Arek] - but, I have kept 'next' in later changes.

[Arek] - additionally if EdDSAhash one-pass used it is enough to have field with hash, an that's all - only information needed.
Normally EdDSA hash is fixed to SHA256 or BLAKE but for EdDSAhash option there is one additional hash - so enum in Ed struct should be enough.

[Anoob] I'm also not clear about what would be the right abstraction. As you described for EdDSA, it can be just a flag. But we may need to revisit this when we add such kind of algos. So my suggestion was to not remove 'next' field just yet. We can revisit this sometime later.
Thanks for agreeing to the suggestion and keeping the field.

[Arek] - I considered few Ed options:
- or to have
Ed25519_op, Ed448_op,
- or
EdDSA with
Curve_is = curve25519 (29) | curve448 (30)
By default hash algorithms are SHA2-56 and BLAKE accordingly.
But for preHash Ed there would be hash field:
Hash = [ rte_crypto_auth ]
/* When preHash (PH(M)) used this field is obligatory etc... */
