We are excited to announce that wolfCrypt now supports the EAX mode of operation for AES!
AES EAX is a two-pass authenticated encryption scheme that is optimized for simplicity and efficiency. More details about the algorithm can be found in EAX: A Conventional Authenticated-Encryption Mode, by M. Bellare, P. Rogaway, and D. Wagner.
To enable AES EAX in your wolfSSL build, simply pass the –enable-aeseax flag to configure. If you are building without autotools, you must define the WOLFSSL_AES_EAX preprocessor macro, as well as enable support for the AES CTR and CMAC algorithms by defining WOLFSSL_AES_COUNTER, WOLFSSL_AES_DIRECT, and WOLFSSL_CMAC.
The AES EAX API and a brief usage example can be found in the wolfCrypt AES API documentation. For a complete example, please refer to the aes_eax_test() function in wolfcrypt/test/test.c.
