Api function
#include <shishi.h>
int shishi_decrypt(Shishi * handle, Shishi_key * key, int keyusage, const char * in, size_t inlen, char ** out, size_t * outlen);
shishi handle as allocated by shishi_init().
key to decrypt with.
integer specifying what this key is decrypting.
input array with data to decrypt.
size of input array with data to decrypt.
output array with newly allocated decrypted data.
output variable with size of newly allocated output array.
Decrypts data specified key. The key actually used is derived using the key usage. If key usage is 0, no key derivation is used. The OUT buffer must be deallocated by the caller. The default IV is used, see shishi_decrypt_iv if you need to alter it. The next IV is lost, see shishi_decrypt_ivupdate if you need it.
Note that DECRYPT(ENCRYPT(data)) does not necessarily yield data exactly. Some encryption types add pad to make the data fit into the block size of the encryption algorithm. Furthermore, the pad is not guaranteed to look in any special way, although existing implementations often pad with the zero byte. This means that you may have to "frame" data, so it is possible to infer the original length after decryption. Compare ASN.1 DER which contains such information.
Returns SHISHI_OK iff successful.
