NAME

       shishi_encrypt_ivupdate - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <shishi.h>

       int  shishi_encrypt_ivupdate(Shishi  *  handle,  Shishi_key  * key, int
       keyusage, const char * iv,  size_t  ivlen,  char  **  ivout,  size_t  *
       ivoutlen, 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 encrypt with.

       int keyusage
                   integer specifying what this key is encrypting.

       const char * iv
                   input array with initialization vector

       size_t ivlen
                   size of input array with initialization vector.

       char ** ivout
                   output array with newly  allocated  updated  initialization
                   vector.

       size_t * ivoutlen
                   size of output array with updated initialization vector.

       const 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.

DESCRIPTION

       Encrypts data using specified initialization vector and 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.   If  IVOUT  or  IVOUTLEN  is NULL, the updated IV is not saved
       anywhere.

       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.
