The test framework for validation of parameters depends on the macro
MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED() being set to its default value when building the
library. So far the test framework attempted to define this macro but this was
the wrong place - this definition wouldn't be picked by the library.
Instead, a different approach is taken: skip those tests when the macro is
defined in config.h, as in that case we have no way to know if it will indeed
end up calling mbedtls_param_failed() as we need it to.
This commit was tested by manually ensuring that aes_invalid_params:
- passes (and is not skipped) in the default configuration
- is skipped when MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED() is defined in config.h
mbedtls_aes_crypt_xts() currently takes a `bits_length` parameter, unlike
the other block modes. Change the parameter to accept a bytes length
instead, as the `bits_length` parameter is not actually ever used in the
current implementation.
Add a new context structure for XTS. Adjust the API for XTS to use the new
context structure, including tests suites and the benchmark program. Update
Doxgen documentation accordingly.
AES-XEX is a building block for other cryptographic standards and not yet a
standard in and of itself. We'll just provide the standardized AES-XTS
algorithm, and not AES-XEX. The AES-XTS algorithm and interface provided
can be used to perform the AES-XEX algorithm when the length of the input
is a multiple of the AES block size.
XTS mode is fully known as "xor-encrypt-xor with ciphertext-stealing".
This is the generalization of the XEX mode.
This implementation is limited to an 8-bits (1 byte) boundary, which
doesn't seem to be what was thought considering some test vectors [1].
This commit comes with tests, extracted from [1], and benchmarks.
Although, benchmarks aren't really nice here, as they work with a buffer
of a multiple of 16 bytes, which isn't a challenge for XTS compared to
XEX.

The test cases come from the XTS test vectors given by the CAVP initiative
from NIST (see [1]).
As mentioned in a previous commit, XEX is a simpler case of XTS.
Therefore, to construct the test_suite_aes.xex.data file, extraction of
the XEX-possible cases has been done on the given test vectors.
All of the extracted test vectors pass the tests on a Linux x86_64 machine.

Adds error handling into mbedtls_aes_crypt_ofb for AES errors, a self-test
for the OFB mode using NIST SP 800-38A test vectors and adds a check to
potential return errors in setting the AES encryption key in the OFB test
suite.
Changes include:
- Integers marked with '#' in the .function files.
- Strings should have "" in .data files.
- String comparison instead of preprocessor-like replace for e.g. '=='
- Params and variables cannot have the same name in .function files
