=head1 NAME

Crypt::AuthEnc::GCM - Authenticated encryption in GCM mode

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 ### OO interface
 use Crypt::AuthEnc::GCM;

 my $key = '...';
 my $iv = '...';
 my $expected_tag = '...';

 # encrypt and authenticate
 my $ae_enc = Crypt::AuthEnc::GCM->new("AES", $key, $iv);
 $ae_enc->adata_add('additional_authenticated_data1');
 $ae_enc->adata_add('additional_authenticated_data2');
 my $ct = $ae_enc->encrypt_add('data1');
 $ct .= $ae_enc->encrypt_add('data2');
 $ct .= $ae_enc->encrypt_add('data3');
 my $tag = $ae_enc->encrypt_done();

 # decrypt and verify
 my $ae_dec = Crypt::AuthEnc::GCM->new("AES", $key, $iv);
 $ae_dec->adata_add('additional_authenticated_data1');
 $ae_dec->adata_add('additional_authenticated_data2');
 my $pt = $ae_dec->decrypt_add('ciphertext1');
 $pt .= $ae_dec->decrypt_add('ciphertext2');
 $pt .= $ae_dec->decrypt_add('ciphertext3');
 $ae_dec->decrypt_done($expected_tag) or die "decrypt failed"; # constant-time tag check

 #or, if you need the computed tag, compare it with slow_eq from Crypt::Misc
 #(Perl's 'eq' is not constant-time and leaks timing information)
 my $computed_tag = $ae_dec->decrypt_done();
 die "decrypt failed" unless Crypt::Misc::slow_eq($computed_tag, $expected_tag);

 ### functional interface
 use Crypt::AuthEnc::GCM qw(gcm_encrypt_authenticate gcm_decrypt_verify);

 my $key = '...';
 my $iv = '...';
 my $adata = '...';
 my $plaintext = '...';

 my ($ciphertext, $tag) = gcm_encrypt_authenticate('AES', $key, $iv, $adata, $plaintext);
 my $decrypted = gcm_decrypt_verify('AES', $key, $iv, $adata, $ciphertext, $tag);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) - provides encryption and authentication.

Use a fresh object per message unless you intentionally reuse the same key via C.
The normal call order is: C, one or more C calls, optional C calls,
zero or more C / C calls, then C / C.
The first C / C call finalizes the object. After that,
further C, C, C, C, C,
and C calls croak until you call C.

If you construct with C, you must provide the IV via C before
adding authenticated data or payload data. After C, start a new message with the same
key by supplying the IV again, and re-add AAD if needed.

When verifying, C is the safer form. The no-argument form of
C only returns the computed tag.

=head1 EXPORT

Nothing is exported by default.

You can export selected functions:

  use Crypt::AuthEnc::GCM qw(gcm_encrypt_authenticate gcm_decrypt_verify);

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 gcm_encrypt_authenticate

 my ($ciphertext, $tag) = gcm_encrypt_authenticate($cipher, $key, $iv, $adata, $plaintext);

 # $cipher .. [string] 'AES' or name of any other cipher with 16-byte block len
 # $key ..... [binary string] AES key of proper length (128/192/256 bits)
 # $iv ...... [binary string] initialization vector
 # $adata ... [binary string] additional authenticated data

=head2 gcm_decrypt_verify

 my $plaintext = gcm_decrypt_verify($cipher, $key, $iv, $adata, $ciphertext, $tag);
 # on error returns undef

=head1 METHODS

Unless noted otherwise, assume C<$ae> is an existing AEAD object created via
C, for example:

 my $ae = Crypt::AuthEnc::GCM->new($cipher, $key, $iv);

=head2 new

 my $ae = Crypt::AuthEnc::GCM->new($cipher, $key);
 #or
 my $ae = Crypt::AuthEnc::GCM->new($cipher, $key, $iv);

 # $cipher .. [string] 'AES' or name of any other cipher
 # $key ..... [binary string] encryption key of proper length
 # $iv ...... [binary string] initialization vector (optional, you can set it later via iv_add method)

=head2 iv_add

Set initialization vector (IV). Multiple calls are concatenated to form the
full IV (the data is appended, not replaced). Returns the object itself.

 $ae->iv_add($iv_data);                        # can be called multiple times before AAD/payload

Call C before the first C, C, or C. If you
reuse the object via C, provide the IV again for the new message.

=head2 adata_add

Add B.
Can be called B all C calls but before the first C or C.
Returns the object itself (for chaining).

 $ae->adata_add($aad_data);                    # can be called multiple times

=head2 encrypt_add

Returns a binary string of ciphertext (raw bytes).

 my $ciphertext = $ae->encrypt_add($data);     # can be called multiple times

=head2 encrypt_done

Returns the authentication tag as a binary string (raw bytes).
This call finalizes the current message.

 my $tag = $ae->encrypt_done();                # returns $tag value

=head2 decrypt_add

Returns a binary string of plaintext (raw bytes).

 my $plaintext = $ae->decrypt_add($ciphertext); # can be called multiple times

=head2 decrypt_done

Without argument returns the computed tag as a binary string. With C<$tag> argument returns C<1> (success) or C<0> (failure).
This call finalizes the current message.

 my $tag = $ae->decrypt_done;           # returns $tag value
 #or
 my $result = $ae->decrypt_done($tag);  # returns 1 (success) or 0 (failure)

Use the C form for authentication checks. The no-argument form only
returns the computed tag.

=head2 reset

 $ae->reset;

Start a new message with the same key. After C, call C again, then
C if needed, before processing payload data. C also clears the
finalized state set by C / C.

=head2 clone

Returns a copy of the AEAD object in its current state.

 my $ae_new = $ae->clone;
