Module aes Methods

AcquireAESInfo() allocate the AESInfo structure.

The format of the AcquireAESInfo method is:

  AESInfo *AcquireAESInfo(void)

DecipherAESBlock() deciphers a single block of ciphertext to produce a block of plaintext.

The format of the DecipherAESBlock method is:

       void DecipherAES(AESInfo *aes_info,const unsigned char *ciphertext,
   unsigned char *plaintext)

A description of each parameter follows:

aes_info

The cipher context.

ciphertext

The cipher text.

plainttext

The plaint text.

DestroyAESInfo() zeros memory associated with the AESInfo structure.

The format of the DestroyAESInfo method is:

  AESInfo *DestroyAESInfo(AESInfo *aes_info)

A description of each parameter follows:

aes_info

The cipher context.

EncipherAESBlock() enciphers a single block of plaintext to produce a block of ciphertext.

The format of the EncipherAESBlock method is:

  void EncipherAES(AESInfo *aes_info,const unsigned char *plaintext,
    unsigned char *ciphertext)

A description of each parameter follows:

aes_info

The cipher context.

plaintext

The plain text.

ciphertext

The cipher text.

GetAESBlocksize() returns the AES blocksize.

The format of the GetAESBlocksize method is:

  unsigned int *GetAESBlocksize(const AESInfo *aes_info)

A description of each parameter follows:

aes_info

The aes info.

SetAESKey() sets the key for the AES cipher. The key length is specified in bits. Valid values are 128, 192, or 256 requiring a key buffer length in bytes of 16, 24, and 32 respectively.

The format of the SetAESKey method is:

  SetAESKey(AESInfo *aes_info,const StringInfo *key)

A description of each parameter follows:

aes_info

The cipher context.

key

The key.
