NAME
shishi_crypto - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <shishi.h>
Shishi_crypto * shishi_crypto(Shishi * handle, Shishi_key * key, int
keyusage, int32_t etype, const char * iv, size_t ivlen);
ARGUMENTS
Shishi * handle
shishi handle as allocated by shishi_init().
Shishi_key * key
key to encrypt with.
int keyusage
integer specifying what this key will encrypt/decrypt.
int32_t etype
integer specifying what cipher to use.
const char * iv
input array with initialization vector
size_t ivlen
size of input array with initialization vector.
DESCRIPTION
Initialize a crypto context. This store a key, keyusage, encryption
type and initialization vector in a "context", and the caller can then
use this context to perform encryption via shishi_crypto_encrypt() and
decryption via shishi_crypto_encrypt() without supplying all those
details again. The functions also takes care of propagating the IV
between calls.
When the application no longer need to use the context, it should
deallocate resources associated with it by calling
shishi_crypto_close().
RETURN VALUE
Return a newly allocated crypto context.
