Syntax

IppStatus ippsAES_GCMGetTag (Ipp8u* pTag, int tagLen, const IppsAES_GCMState* pState);

Include Files

ippcp.h

Parameters

pTag

Pointer to the authentication tag.

tagLen

Length of the authentication tag *pTag (in bytes).

pState

Pointer to the IppsAES_GCMState context.

Description

The function generates and computes the authentication tag of length tagLen according to GCM as specified in [NIST SP 800-38D]. A call to ippsAES_GCMGetTag does not stop the process of authenticated encryption/decryption.

Return Values

ippStsNoErr

Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or warning.

ippStsNullPtrErr

Indicates an error condition if any of the specified pointers is NULL.

ippStsContextMatchErr

Indicates an error condition if the context parameter does not match the operation.

ippStsLengthErr

Indicates an error condition if tagLen <1 or taglen >16.
