Convert Plaintext to Ciphertext and Back with the Wizard's Toolkit API

The Wizard's Toolkit API is a low-level interface between the C programming language and the Toolkit's libraries. A description of the public methods are found here:

• American Encryption Standard Methods
• Authentication Methods
• Binary Large OBjectS Methods
• Bzip Entropy Methods
• Client Methods
• Cyclic Redunancy Checksum Methods
• Secure Cipher Methods
• Entropy Methods
• Exception Methods
• File Methods
• Secure Hash Algorithm Methods
• Hash-map and Linked-list Methods
• Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication
• Key Methods
• Keyring Methods
• LZMA Entropy Methods
• Log Events
• Wizard Methods
• Message Digest Algorithm Methods
• Memory Allocation Methods
• Mime Methods
• Option Methods
• Passphrase Methods
• Random Numbers Methods
• Get/Set Resources
• Environment Sanitazion Methods
• Secret Authentication Methods
• Semaphore Methods
• Secure Hash Algorithm-256 Methods
• Secure Hash Algorithm-224 Methods
• Secure Hash Algorithm-256 Methods
• Secure Hash Algorithm-384 Methods
• Secure Hash Algorithm-512 Methods
• Self-adjusting Binary Tree Methods
• Serpent Cipher Methods
• String Methods
• Timing Methods
• Token Methods
• TwoFish Cipher Methods
• Version Methods
• XML Parser Methods
• Zip Entropy Methods

After you write your Toolkit program, compile it like this:

  cc `WizardsToolkit-config --cflags --cppflags` -o wizard wizard.c `WizardsToolkit-config --ldflags --libs`

Here is a example program that utilizes the Wizard's Toolkit API to get you started, wizard.c. It simply computes and prints the Secure Hash Algorithm 512-bit digest of a string.

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <wizard/WizardsToolkit.h>
  
  int main(int argc,char **argv)
  {
    HashInfo
      *hash_info;
  
    StringInfo
      *content;
  
    WizardsToolkitGenesis(*argv);
    hash_info=AcquireHashInfo(SHA512Hash);
    InitializeHash(hash_info);
    content=StringToStringInfo("The Wizard's Toolkit");
    UpdateHash(hash_info,content);
    FinalizeHash(hash_info);
    PrintStringInfo("Content",content);
    PrintStringInfo("Digest",GetHashDigest(hash_info));
    DestroyHashInfo(hash_info);
    DestroyStringInfo(content);
    WizardsToolkitTerminus();
    return(0);
  }
