The new AES routines are compiled into the code on any platform where
the compiler can be made to generate the necessary AES-NI and SSE
instructions. But not every CPU will support those instructions, so
the pure-software routines haven't gone away: both sets of functions
sit side by side in the code, and at key setup time we check the CPUID
bitmap to decide which set to select.
(This reintroduces function pointers into AESContext, replacing the
ones that we managed to remove a few commits ago.)
The outer routines are the ones which handle the CBC encrypt, CBC
decrypt and SDCTR cipher modes. Previously each of those had to be
able to dispatch to one of the per-block-size core routines, which
made it worth dividing the system up into two layers. But now there's
only one set of core routines, they may as well be inlined into the
outer ones.
Also as part of this commit, the nasty undef/redef of MAKEWORD and
LASTWORD have been removed, and the different macro definitions now
have different macro _names_, to make it clearer which one is used
where.
They're not really part of AES at all, in that they were part of the
Rijndael design but not part of the subset standardised by NIST. More
relevantly, they're not used by any SSH cipher definition, so they're
just adding complexity to the code which is about to get in the way of
refactoring it.
Removing them means there's only one pair of core encrypt/decrypt
functions, so the 'encrypt' and 'decrypt' function pointer fields can
be completely removed from AESContext.
Apparently I forgot to edit that when I originally imported this AES
implementation into PuTTY's SSH code from the more generically named
source file in which I'd originally developed it.
The revamp of key generation in commit e460f3083 made the assumption
that you could decide how many bytes of key material to generate by
converting cipher->keylen from bits to bytes. This is a good
assumption for all ciphers except DES/3DES: since the SSH DES key
setup ignores one bit in every byte of key material it's given, you
need more bytes than its keylen field would have you believe. So
currently the DES ciphers aren't being keyed correctly.
The original keylen field is used for deciding how big a DH group to
request, and on that basis I think it still makes sense to keep it
reflecting the true entropy of a cipher key. So it turns out we need
two _separate_ key length fields per cipher - one for the real
entropy, and one for the much more obvious purpose of knowing how much
data to ask for from ssh2_mkkey.
A compensatory advantage, though, is that we can now measure the
latter directly in bytes rather than bits, so we no longer have to
faff about with dividing by 8 and rounding up.
zero but does it in such a way that over-clever compilers hopefully
won't helpfully optimise the call away if you do it just before
freeing something or letting it go out of scope. Use this for
(hopefully) every memset whose job is to destroy sensitive data that
might otherwise be left lying around in the process's memory.

default preferred cipher), add code to inject SSH_MSG_IGNOREs to randomise
the IV when using CBC-mode ciphers. Each cipher has a flag to indicate
whether it needs this workaround, and the SSH packet output maze has gained
some extra complexity to implement it.

"rijndael128-cbc" names for AES. These are in the IANA namespace, but
never appeared in any secsh-transport draft, and no version of OpenSSH
has supported them without also supporting the aes*-cbc names.
"rijndael-cbc@lysator.liu.se" gets to live because it's in the private
namespace.

aes128-ctr, aes192-ctr, and aes256-ctr. blowfish-ctr and 3des-ctr are
present but disabled, since I haven't tested them yet.
In addition, change the user-visible names of ciphers (as displayed in the
Event Log) to include the mode name and, in Blowfish's case, the key size.

malloc functions, which automatically cast to the same type they're
allocating the size of. Should prevent any future errors involving
mallocing the size of the wrong structure type, and will also make
life easier if we ever need to turn the PuTTY core code from real C
into C++-friendly C. I haven't touched the Mac frontend in this
checkin because I couldn't compile or test it.

around a bug in SC/MrC. Use #ifdefs to decide whether to enable the workaround
or not.

arrya as full definitions, and hence gets upset when it finds a full definition
later. This is a bug (see K&R2 A10.2), but an easy one to work around by
making the tentative definitions incomplete, so I've done that.

error messages are currently wrong, and Pageant doesn't yet support
the new key type, and I haven't thoroughly tested that falling back
to password authentication and trying invalid keys etc all work. But
what I have here has successfully performed a public key
authentication, so it's working to at least some extent.

introduce another layer of abstraction in SSH2 ciphers, such that a
single `logical cipher' (as desired by a user) can equate to more
than one `physical cipher'. This is because AES comes in several key
lengths (PuTTY will pick the highest supported by the remote end)
and several different SSH2-protocol-level names (aes*-cbc,
rijndael*-cbc, and an unofficial one rijndael-cbc@lysator.liu.se).
