Intel(R) Multi-Buffer Crypto for IPsec Library</h1>
<p>The library provides software crypto acceleration primarily targeting packet processing applications. It can be used for application such as: IPsec, TLS, Wireless (RAN), Cable or MPEG DRM.</p>
<p>The library is hosted on <a href="https://github.com/intel/intel-ipsec-mb">GitHub</a> and is used as software crypto provider in <a href="https://www.dpdk.org/">DPDK</a>, <a href="https://github.com/intel/QAT_Engine">Intel(R) QAT Engine</a> and <a href="https://fd.io/">FD.io</a>.</p>
<p>Using crypto interfaces from the above frameworks gives freedom to change providers without subsequent application modifications. The library can also be used directly through its native API.</p>
<p>Key differentiating features:</p>
<ul>
<li>operation chaining (encryption and authentication)</li>
<li>advanced cryptographic pipelining<ul>
<li>job manager with scheduling and dispatching functions</li>
<li>API hides underlying implementation details from an application</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>multi-buffer and function stitching innovations</li>
<li>low level implementations using latest instruction extensions</li>
</ul>

1. Overview</h2>
<p>Intel Multi-Buffer Crypto for IPsec Library is highly-optimized software implementations of the core cryptographic processing for IPsec, which provides industry-leading performance on a range of Intel(R) Processors.</p>
<p>For information on how the library works, see the Intel White Paper: <a href="https://github.com/intel/intel-ipsec-mb/wiki/doc/fast-multi-buffer-ipsec-implementations-ia-processors-paper.pdf">"Fast Multi-buffer IPsec Implementations on Intel Architecture Processors".

Self-Test</h3>
<p>In order to support CMVP, the library implements Self-Test functionality that is available with all compilation options. The test is always performed as part of library initialization (power-up). There is no conditional self-test functionality as none of such conditions occur (i.e. pair-wise consistency test, software/firmware load test, manual key entry test, continuous random number generator test, and bypass test).</p>
<p>Application can register self-test callback function to track test progress. Optionally application can corrupt input message for selected tests and observe change in the test result.</p>
<p>Example sequence of callbacks received by an application is:</p><ul>
<li>callback(data.phase = IMB_SELF_TEST_PHASE_START, data.type = IMB_SELF_TEST_TYPE_KAT_CIPHER, data.descr = "AES128-CBC") => return 1</li>
<li>callback(data.phase = IMB_SELF_TEST_PHASE_CORRUPT)<ul>
<li>return 1: no message corruption</li>
<li>return 0: corrupt single bit in the 1st byte</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>callback(data.phase = IMB_SELF_TEST_PHASE_PASS or IMB_SELF_TEST_PHASE_PASS) => return 1</li>
<li>callback(data.phase = IMB_SELF_TEST_PHASE_START, data.type = IMB_SELF_TEST_TYPE_KAT_CIPHER, data.descr = "AES192-CBC") => return 1</li>
<li>... Note that value returned by application self-test callback function only matters in the corrupt phase.</li>
</ul>
<p>The self-test consists of Cryptographic algorithm test (known answer test) on following types and algorithms: <br />
</p><ul>
<li>KAT_AEAD:<ul>
<li>AES-GCM <br />
</li>
<li>AES-CCM <br />
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>KAT_Cipher:<ul>
<li>AES-CBC <br />
</li>
<li>AES-CTR <br />
</li>
<li>AES-ECB <br />
</li>
<li>AES-CFB</li>
<li>TDES-EDE-CBC <br />
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>KAT_Auth:<ul>
<li>AES-GMAC <br />
</li>
<li>AES-CMAC <br />
</li>
<li>SHA1 <br />
</li>
<li>SHA224 <br />
</li>
<li>SHA256 <br />
</li>
<li>SHA384 <br />
</li>
<li>SHA512 <br />
</li>
<li>HMAC-SHA1 <br />
</li>
<li>HMAC-SHA224 <br />
</li>
<li>HMAC-SHA256 <br />
</li>
<li>HMAC-SHA384 <br />
</li>
<li>HMAC-SHA512 <br />
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>KAT_Cipher and KAT_AEAD types conduct tests in encrypt and decrypt cipher directions. However, the corrupt callback is made only for the encrypt direction. No callback is made for the decrypt direction at the moment.</p>

13.DLL Injection Attack</h2>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md18"></a>
Problem</h3>
<p>The Windows OS has an insecure predefined search order and set of defaults when trying to locate a resource. If the resource location is not specified by the software, an attacker need only place a malicious version in one of the locations Windows will search, and it will be loaded instead. Although this weakness can occur with any resource, it is especially common with DLL files.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md19"></a>
Solutions</h3>
<p>Applications using intel-ipsec-mb DLL library may need to apply one of the solutions to prevent from DLL injection attack.</p>
<p>Two solutions are available:</p><ul>
<li>Using a Fully Qualified Path is the most secure way to load a DLL <br />
</li>
<li>Signature verification of the DLL <br />
</li>
</ul>
