NAME¶
gnutls_cipher_init - API function
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <gnutls/crypto.h>
int gnutls_cipher_init(gnutls_cipher_hd_t * handle,
gnutls_cipher_algorithm_t cipher, const gnutls_datum_t *
key, const gnutls_datum_t * iv);

- gnutls_cipher_hd_t * handle
- is a gnutls_cipher_hd_t structure.
- gnutls_cipher_algorithm_t cipher
- the encryption algorithm to use
- const gnutls_datum_t * key
- The key to be used for encryption
- const gnutls_datum_t * iv
- The IV to use (if not applicable set NULL)
DESCRIPTION¶
This function will initialize an context that can be used for
encryption/decryption of data. This will effectively use the current crypto
