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 implementa‐
tions 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.
