CMAC Functions

The Intel IPP CMAC primitive functions use CMAC schemes based on block ciphers described in the Symmetric Cryptography Primitive Functions.
A CMAC scheme is implemented as a set of primitive functions.
Typical application code for computing CMAC of an input message stream should follow the sequence of operations as outlined below:
  1. Call the function
    AES_CMACGetSize
     to get the size required to configure the
    IppsAES_CMACState
     context.
  2. Ensure that the required memory space is properly allocated. With the allocated memory, call the function
    AES_CMACInit
     to initialize the context.
  3. Keep calling the function
    AES_CMACUpdate
     to update the MAC value of the incoming message stream in the queue till its completion. To determine the current MAC value, call
    AES_CMACGetTag
     between each two calls to
    AES_CMACUpdate
    .
  4. Call the function
    AES_CMACFinal
     to complete computation of the MAC value of the streaming message and prepare the context for computation of MAC of another message.
  5. Clean up secret data stored in the context.
  6. Call the operating system memory free service function to release the
    IppsAES_CMACState
     context.
