Detailed Description

template<class HASH = SHA1, class COFACTOR_OPTION = NoCofactorMultiplication, bool DHAES_MODE = true, bool LABEL_OCTETS = false>
struct DLIES< HASH, COFACTOR_OPTION, DHAES_MODE, LABEL_OCTETS >

Discrete Log Integrated Encryption Scheme.

Template Parameters

COFACTOR_OPTION	cofactor multiplication option
HASH	HashTransformation derived class used for key drivation and MAC computation
DHAES_MODE	flag indicating if the MAC includes addition context parameters such as the label
LABEL_OCTETS	flag indicating if the label size is specified in octets or bits

DLIES is an Integer based Integrated Encryption Scheme (IES). The scheme combines a Key Encapsulation Method (KEM) with a Data Encapsulation Method (DEM) and a MAC tag. The scheme is IND-CCA2, which is a strong notion of security. You should prefer an Integrated Encryption Scheme over homegrown schemes.

The library's original implementation is based on an early P1363 draft, which itself appears to be based on an early Certicom SEC-1 draft (or an early SEC-1 draft was based on a P1363 draft). Crypto++ 4.2 used the early draft in its Integrated Ecryption Schemes with NoCofactorMultiplication, DHAES_MODE=false and LABEL_OCTETS=true.

If you desire an Integrated Encryption Scheme with Crypto++ 4.2 compatibility, then use the DLIES template class with NoCofactorMultiplication, DHAES_MODE=false and LABEL_OCTETS=true.

If you desire an Integrated Encryption Scheme with Bouncy Castle 1.54 and Botan 1.11 compatibility, then use the DLIES template class with NoCofactorMultiplication, DHAES_MODE=true and LABEL_OCTETS=false.

The default template parameters ensure compatibility with Bouncy Castle 1.54 and Botan 1.11. The combination of IncompatibleCofactorMultiplication and DHAES_MODE=true is recommended for best efficiency and security. SHA1 is used for compatibility reasons, but it can be changed if desired. SHA-256 or another hash will likely improve the security provided by the MAC. The hash is also used in the key derivation function as a PRF.

Below is an example of constructing a Crypto++ 4.2 compatible DLIES encryptor and decryptor.

   AutoSeededRandomPool prng;
   DL_PrivateKey_GFP<DL_GroupParameters_GFP> key;
   key.Initialize(prng, 2048);

   DLIES<SHA1,NoCofactorMultiplication,true,true>::Decryptor decryptor(key);
   DLIES<SHA1,NoCofactorMultiplication,true,true>::Encryptor encryptor(decryptor);
