Api function
Usage
#include <shishi.h>
int shishi_encrypt(Shishi * handle, Shishi_key * key, int keyusage, char * in, size_t inlen, char ** out, size_t * outlen);
Arguments
Shishi * handle
|
shishi handle as allocated by |
|---|---|
Shishi_key * key
|
key to encrypt with. |
int keyusage
|
integer specifying what this key is encrypting. |
char * in
|
input array with data to encrypt. |
size_t inlen
|
size of input array with data to encrypt. |
char ** out
|
output array with newly allocated encrypted data. |
size_t * outlen
|
output variable with size of newly allocated output array. |
Overview
Encrypts data using 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_encrypt_iv if you need to alter it. The next IV is lost, see shishi_encrypt_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.
Return value
Returns SHISHI_OK iff successful.
