NAME¶
shishi_decrypt - API function
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <shishi.h>
int shishi_decrypt(Shishi * handle, Shishi_key *
key, int keyusage, const char * in,
size_t inlen, char ** out, size_t *
outlen);
ARGUMENTS¶
- Shishi * handle
- shishi handle as allocated by shishi_init().
- Shishi_key * key
- key to decrypt with.
- int keyusage
- integer specifying what this key is decrypting.
- const char * in
- input array with data to decrypt.
- size_t inlen
- size of input array with data to decrypt.
- char ** out
- output array with newly allocated decrypted data.
- size_t * outlen
- output variable with size of newly allocated output
array.
DESCRIPTION¶
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.
RETURN VALUE¶
Returns
SHISHI_OK iff successful.
