📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds separate root and segment integrity algorithm configuration. The SDK supports HS256 and GMAC for segments, while root integrity remains HS256-only. The encrypt CLI validates, documents, and passes both settings. ChangesIntegrity algorithm support

…PX-4736)
Adds explicit controls for the two integrity algorithms a ZTDF writer picks,
and makes an unsupported choice fail loudly instead of being silently coerced.
sdk:
- WithSegmentIntegrityAlgorithm(HS256|GMAC). Both are real MACs over
ciphertext the AEAD produced, so both stay allowed.
- WithRootIntegrityAlgorithm(HS256). HS256 only: the root signature covers
the aggregate hash, which never passes through AES-GCM, so there is no tag
for GMAC to read out there. Anything else returns
ErrUnsupportedRootIntegrityAlgorithm.
- The same split in sdk/experimental/tdf, where NewWriter validates eagerly
because Option[T] cannot return an error.
otdfctl:
- `encrypt --segment-integrity-algorithm` and `--root-integrity-algorithm`,
validated before the handler is constructed so an invalid value fails
offline as a config error rather than after a KAS round trip.
- Documented in docs/man/encrypt/_index.md with enum values, which is also
what the cross-SDK xtest feature detectors grep for.
This is the control surface for evaluating DSPX-4703. It does not itself change
how a manifest that already declares a GMAC root is verified on read.

Nit: Should we just have one method that parses the integrity algorithms to tdfoptions. Seems this method is dual purpose, and actually doing the validation AND parsing the transforming it into tdfoptions already.

I see. The validation is happening in the tdfoption itself.

Would typed errors be good here, so you can use errors.Is()

if hs256 is only supported should we remove gmac here?

does hs256 make any sense here if we don't support plaintext tdf today?

Is this true? Seems that this is only true for the experimental SDK whereas the stable sdk does not promise the same rejection.

Proposed Changes
Adds explicit controls for the two integrity algorithms a ZTDF writer picks, and makes an unsupported choice fail loudly instead of being silently coerced.
The asymmetry is the point:
HS256,GMACHS256onlysdkWithSegmentIntegrityAlgorithm(HS256|GMAC)WithRootIntegrityAlgorithm(HS256)— anything else returns the newErrUnsupportedRootIntegrityAlgorithm. The option exists so callers can state the choice explicitly and a CLI can surface the refusal, not to widen it.sdk/experimental/tdf, whereNewWritervalidates eagerly becauseOption[T]cannot return an error.otdfctlencrypt --segment-integrity-algorithmand--root-integrity-algorithm, validated before the handler is constructed, so an invalid value fails offline as a config error rather than after a KAS round trip.docs/man/encrypt/_index.mdwith enum values — which is also what the cross-SDK xtest feature detectors grep for, so merging this flips theintegrity_algs/gmac_root_rejectedgates on and stops those cells from silently skipping.Scope
This is the control surface for evaluating DSPX-4703, deliberately separated from the fix. It changes what a writer may choose; it does not change how a manifest that already declares a GMAC root is verified on read. That is the stacked follow-up, opentdf/platform PR for DSPX-4703.
Splitting it this way means the xtest exploit cases can be run against this branch to get a live, reproducible "before" baseline, then against the fix branch to watch them go red → green.
