Svc::Ccsds::ClearTextDecryptor

Warning

This component provides NO security. It performs no authentication, no integrity checking, and no decryption. All data passes through unmodified. It is intended only for clear-mode operation (e.g. as the default decryptor in a standard subtopology) and for testing. Do not use it where confidentiality, integrity, or authenticity of the data link is required.

The Svc::Ccsds::ClearTextDecryptor component is a pass-through implementation of the Svc.Ccsds.CcsdsSdlsDecrypt interface. It is a pure pass-through in both dimensions: requests received on decryptIn are forwarded out decryptOut with the buffer and context unmodified (alongside an SdlsStatus.SUCCESS status), and buffer ownership returned on decryptReturnIn is passed upstream via bufferReturnOut for deallocation. No memory is allocated.

Functionality

  • Receives an SA index, iv/data buffer, and frame context on the guarded decryptIn port; the SA index is ignored.
  • Forwards the buffer and context unmodified out decryptOut alongside an SdlsStatus.SUCCESS status.
  • Passes ownership returns received on decryptReturnIn upstream via bufferReturnOut (the forwarded buffer is the incoming buffer, as no allocation occurs).

Port Descriptions

Kind Name Port Type Description
guarded input decryptIn Svc.Ccsds.CcsdsSdlsEncryption Receives the SA index and iv/data buffer (from CcsdsSdlsDecrypt interface).
output decryptOut Svc.Ccsds.CcsdsSdlsData Sends the operation status and (unmodified) data downstream.
sync input decryptReturnIn Svc.ComDataWithContext Receives back ownership of buffers sent on decryptOut.
output bufferReturnOut Svc.ComDataWithContext Returns the incoming iv/data buffer for deallocation.

Requirements

Name Description Validation
SVC-CCSDS-CLEARTEXT-DECRYPTOR-001 The ClearTextDecryptor shall accept an SA index, iv/data buffer, and frame context via the Svc.Ccsds.CcsdsSdlsDecrypt interface (guarded decryptIn). Unit Test
SVC-CCSDS-CLEARTEXT-DECRYPTOR-002 The ClearTextDecryptor shall perform no authentication and no decryption, passing the received buffer and context unmodified out decryptOut. Unit Test
SVC-CCSDS-CLEARTEXT-DECRYPTOR-003 The ClearTextDecryptor shall pass an SdlsStatus.SUCCESS status forward for every request. Unit Test
SVC-CCSDS-CLEARTEXT-DECRYPTOR-004 Upon receiving ownership of a buffer back on decryptReturnIn, the ClearTextDecryptor shall pass it upstream via bufferReturnOut for deallocation. Unit Test
