Does anyone have pointers as to what is missing for this PR to be considered for inclusion? |

@nahi Can you review this? |

I'm not sold on this patch, and releasing "as-is" is taking priority at the moment. I also think making |

OpenSSL needs to know the plaintext length before setting the AAD or starting encrypting. So if we want support AES-CCM in OpenSSL::Cipher, we need another method #plaintext_len=, and of course this is a very bad idea. |

Add OpenSSL::Cipher#iv_len=. For interoperability with other applications, it is sometimes required. Normally 'IV' is fixed-length, but in OpenSSL, some ciphers such as aes-128-gcm make use of it as 'nonce', which is variable-length. Changing the IV length in Cipher#iv= is also an option but I decided not to choose it. Because in Ruby <= 2.3 Cipher#iv= truncates the input when the length is longer than the current IV length, changing the behavior might cause unexpected encryption result.

ruby openssl itself needs to be updated to support OpenSSL::Cipher#iv_len= ruby/ruby#569 ApplePay uses 16 as iv_len, not ruby default's 12.

As commented before, CCM does not fit with the interface of OpenSSL::Cipher. Please open a new issue at https://github.com/ruby/openssl if you have ideas about this. |

Currently, only the GCM mode of authenticated encryption is supported in Ruby. This patch adds support for the CCM mode of authenticated encryption. It also adds support for explicitly setting IV length, which is required by OpenSSL when dealing with non-standard IV lengths in CCM mode. See https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9642 for more information.
