Package xts implements the XTS cipher mode as specified in IEEE P1619/D16.
XTS mode is typically used for disk encryption, which presents a number of novel problems that make more common modes inapplicable. The disk is conceptually an array of sectors and we must be able to encrypt and decrypt a sector in isolation. However, an attacker must not be able to transpose two sectors of plaintext by transposing their ciphertext.
XTS wraps a block cipher with Rogaway's XEX mode in order to build a tweakable block cipher. This allows each sector to have a unique tweak and effectively create a unique key for each sector.
XTS does not provide any authentication. An attacker can manipulate the ciphertext and randomise a block (16 bytes) of the plaintext. This package does not implement ciphertext-stealing so sectors must be a multiple of 16 bytes.
Note that XTS is usually not appropriate for any use besides disk encryption. Most users should use an AEAD mode like GCM (from crypto/cipher.NewGCM) instead.
type Cipher struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Cipher contains an expanded key structure. It is safe for concurrent use if the underlying block cipher is safe for concurrent use.
NewCipher creates a Cipher given a function for creating the underlying block cipher (which must have a block size of 16 bytes). The key must be twice the length of the underlying cipher's key.
Decrypt decrypts a sector of ciphertext and puts the result into plaintext. Plaintext and ciphertext must overlap entirely or not at all. Sectors must be a multiple of 16 bytes and less than 2²⁴ bytes.
Encrypt encrypts a sector of plaintext and puts the result into ciphertext. Plaintext and ciphertext must overlap entirely or not at all. Sectors must be a multiple of 16 bytes and less than 2²⁴ bytes.
