Generators are mostly about key derivation (currently: only about key
derivation). "Generator" is not a commonly used term in cryptography.
So favor "derivation" as terminology. Call a generator a key
derivation operation structure, since it behaves like other multipart
operation structures. Furthermore, the function names are not fully
consistent.
In this commit, I rename the functions to consistently have the prefix
"psa_key_derivation_". I used the following command:
perl -i -pe '%t = (
psa_crypto_generator_t => "psa_key_derivation_operation_t",
psa_crypto_generator_init => "psa_key_derivation_init",
psa_key_derivation_setup => "psa_key_derivation_setup",
psa_key_derivation_input_key => "psa_key_derivation_input_key",
psa_key_derivation_input_bytes => "psa_key_derivation_input_bytes",
psa_key_agreement => "psa_key_derivation_key_agreement",
psa_set_generator_capacity => "psa_key_derivation_set_capacity",
psa_get_generator_capacity => "psa_key_derivation_get_capacity",
psa_generator_read => "psa_key_derivation_output_bytes",
psa_generate_derived_key => "psa_key_derivation_output_key",
psa_generator_abort => "psa_key_derivation_abort",
PSA_CRYPTO_GENERATOR_INIT => "PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_OPERATION_INIT",
PSA_GENERATOR_UNBRIDLED_CAPACITY => "PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_UNLIMITED_CAPACITY",
); s/\b(@{[join("|", keys %t)]})\b/$t{$1}/ge' $(git ls-files)
More consistent with the new function names.
perl -pe 's/crypto_generator/key_derivation/gi' $(git ls-files)
perl -pe 's/_generator/_key_derivation/gi' $(git ls-files)
Generators are mostly about key derivation (currently: only about key derivation). "Generator" is not a commonly used term in cryptography. So favor "derivation" as terminology. This commit updates the function descriptions.
Generators are now key derivation operations. Keep "random generator" intact.
After renaming several identifiers, re-wrap and re-indent some lines to make the code prettier.
Present key derivation functions in a more logical order, corresponding roughly to the order in which an application would call them.
There is less of a risk of confusion with the KA+KDF function now.
There was some copypasta from the KA+KDF function's description.
