We now have separate encryption and decryption methods, and can process an arbitrary amount of plaintext or ciphertext per call, rounded down to the block size (if applicable). For stream ciphers, we also have a keystream method which fills the provided buffer with an arbitrary amount of keystream (once again, rounded down if applicable).
Not only is this a slightly more logical name, but it allows us to expose the verbose flag, previously private to cryb_t_main.c, as the equally logically named t_verbose.
If the key length is not a multiple of 40 bits, its base32 representation may be padded, and that padding will be encoded. We already decoded the label (which may contain spaces and other unsafe characters), but not the key. For the sake of simplicity and robustness, we now decode the name and value of every property.
This corresponds to OpenPAM r886.
The rk pointer in struct aes_ctx always pointed to the context's buffer and served no purpose whatsoever, but the compiler had no way of knowing that and could therefore not optimize away assignments to and from it.
Note that the removal of rk breaks the ABI, since it changes the size of struct aes_ctx, but we allow ourselves that because neither the API nor the ABI have been fixed yet.
If its operands were identical, cryb_mpi_add_abs() would leave the target untouched. Explicitly call mpi_zero() before returning. While there, extend the “identical operands” shortcut to also cover equality.
Both cryb_mpi_add_abs() and cryb_mpi_sub_abs() would leave the target's negative flag untouched. Explicitly clear it before returning.
These tests reveal that both functions assume that the target is initially positive zero if it is not identical with one of the operands, and fail in various ways if it is not, or if it is uninitialized.
Unlike assert(3), which uses abort(3), this has no other side effects (before raising SIGABRT) than an fprintf() call. The test framework will catch the SIGABRT, report that the test case failed, and proceed with the next case.
It is reasonable to assume that a SIGABRT originates from a call to abort(3), either directly or via assert(3). Both the C standard and POSIX give the implementation great latitude with regard to abort(3)'s behavior, and both explicitly mention that it may close all streams before raising SIGABRT. This means that we cannot safely proceed after a call to abort(3). One could argue that we can't safely proceed after a SIGBUS or SIGSEGV either, but in practice, the damage is usually quite limited.
