I think that Kazuho is making a strong point. The PNE is somewhat malleable, so there is indeed a risk in not using AEAD to protect the encoding. There are potential gains in not including the encoding in AEAD, but they are pretty small. There is no actual need to decrypt the PN in place and modify the input buffer. You can always decrypt it in a secondary buffer and use a scatter-gather API for AEAD input. Or you can copy the entire decrypted header in a secondary buffer if you don't have access to scatter-gather API. -- Christian Huitema > On Jul 28, 2018, at 6:44 AM, Mikkel Fahnøe Jørgensen <mikkelfj@gmail.com> wrote: > > You can have one core with access to an input queue that does nothing but decrypting packet numbers. > The decrypted PN’s are placed on a queue. > Meanwhile one or several other cores verify the AEAD tag and places validation on a queue. > A third set of cores processes decryption and places decrypted packets on a queue.
