Subject: variable iv lengths for aes-gcm
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2015 10:43:18 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <55827696.20704@freescale.com> (raw)

Hi Herbert,

I'm trying to find a method to pass IVs of various lengths to an 
algorithm. A particular case would be aes-gcm IV. It can have any number 
of bits between 1 and 2^64.

A possible way to do this is to set the ivlen per request. Are there any 
(better) ways to do this?

Thanks,
ta
