SYNOPSIS

use SBOM::CycloneDX::Enum qw(CRYPTO_PRIMITIVE);

say CRYPTO_PRIMITIVE->BLOCK_CIPHER;


use SBOM::CycloneDX::Enum::CryptoPrimitive;

say SBOM::CycloneDX::Enum::CryptoPrimitive->PKE;

say KDF;

DESCRIPTION

SBOM::CycloneDX::Enum::CryptoPrimitive is ENUM package used by SBOM::CycloneDX::CryptoProperties::AlgorithmProperties.

Cryptographic building blocks used in higher-level cryptographic systems and protocols. Primitives represent different cryptographic routines: deterministic random bit generators (drbg, e.g. CTR_DRBG from NIST SP800-90A-r1), message authentication codes (mac, e.g. HMAC-SHA-256), blockciphers (e.g. AES), streamciphers (e.g. Salsa20), signatures (e.g. ECDSA), hash functions (e.g. SHA-256), public-key encryption schemes (pke, e.g. RSA), extended output functions (xof, e.g. SHAKE256), key derivation functions (e.g. pbkdf2), key agreement algorithms (e.g. ECDH), key encapsulation mechanisms (e.g. ML-KEM), authenticated encryption (ae, e.g. AES-GCM) and the combination of multiple algorithms (combiner, e.g. SP800-56Cr2).

CONSTANTS

  • DRBG, Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) is a type of pseudorandom number generator designed to produce a sequence of bits from an initial seed value. DRBGs are commonly used in cryptographic applications where reproducibility of random values is important.

  • MAC, In cryptography, a Message Authentication Code (MAC) is information used for authenticating and integrity-checking a message.

  • BLOCK_CIPHER, A block cipher is a symmetric key algorithm that operates on fixed-size blocks of data. It encrypts or decrypts the data in block units, providing confidentiality. Block ciphers are widely used in various cryptographic modes and protocols for secure data transmission.

  • STREAM_CIPHER, A stream cipher is a symmetric key cipher where plaintext digits are combined with a pseudorandom cipher digit stream (keystream).

  • SIGNATURE, In cryptography, a signature is a digital representation of a message or data that proves its origin, identity, and integrity. Digital signatures are generated using cryptographic algorithms and are widely used for authentication and verification in secure communication.

  • HASH, A hash function is a mathematical algorithm that takes an input (or 'message') and produces a fixed-size string of characters, which is typically a hash value. Hash functions are commonly used in various cryptographic applications, including data integrity verification and password hashing.

  • PKE, Public Key Encryption (PKE) is a type of encryption that uses a pair of public and private keys for secure communication. The public key is used for encryption, while the private key is used for decryption. PKE is a fundamental component of public-key cryptography.

  • XOF, An XOF is an extendable output function that can take arbitrary input and creates a stream of output, up to a limit determined by the size of the internal state of the hash function that underlies the XOF.

  • KDF, A Key Derivation Function (KDF) derives key material from another source of entropy while preserving the entropy of the input.

  • KEY_AGREE, In cryptography, a key-agreement is a protocol whereby two or more parties agree on a cryptographic key in such a way that both influence the outcome.

  • KEM, A Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) algorithm is a mechanism for transporting random keying material to a recipient using the recipient's public key.

  • AE, Authenticated Encryption (AE) is a cryptographic process that provides both confidentiality and data integrity. It ensures that the encrypted data has not been tampered with and comes from a legitimate source. AE is commonly used in secure communication protocols.

  • COMBINER, A combiner aggregates many candidates for a cryptographic primitive and generates a new candidate for the same primitive.

  • KEY_WRAP, Key-wrap is a cryptographic technique used to securely encrypt and protect cryptographic keys using algorithms like AES.

  • OTHER, Another primitive type.

  • UNKNOWN, The primitive is not known.
