30/**
31 * Error code layout.
32 *
33 * Currently we try to keep all error codes within the negative space of 16
34 * bytes signed integers to support all platforms (-0x0000 - -0x8000). In
35 * addition we'd like to give two layers of information on the error if
36 * possible.
37 *
38 * For that purpose the error codes are segmented in the following manner:
39 *
40 * 16 bit error code bit-segmentation
41 *
42 * 1 bit - Intentionally not used
43 * 3 bits - High level module ID
44 * 5 bits - Module-dependent error code
45 * 6 bits - Low level module errors
46 * 1 bit - Intentionally not used
47 *
48 * Low-level module errors (0x007E-0x0002)
49 *
50 * Module Nr Codes assigned
51 * MPI 7 0x0002-0x000E
52 * BASE64 2 0x0010-0x0012
53 * ASN1 5 0x0014-0x001C
54 * AES 2 0x0020-0x0022
55 * CAMELLIA 2 0x0024-0x0026
56 * XTEA 1 0x0028-0x0028
57 * PADLOCK 1 0x0030-0x0030
58 * DES 1 0x0032-0x0032

Paul Bakker9d781402011-05-09 16:17:09 +000060 *
61 * High-level module nr (3 bits - 0x1...-0x8...)
62 * Name ID Nr of Errors
63 * PEM 1 8
64 * X509 2 20
65 * DHM 3 6
66 * RSA 4 9
67 * MD 5 1
68 * CIPER 6 1
69 * SSL 7 27
70 *
71 * Module dependent error code (5 bits 0x.08.-0x.F8.)
