mbedtls_cipher_crypt() function

The generic cipher context. This must be initialized.

The IV to use, or NONCE_COUNTER for CTR-mode ciphers. This must be a readable buffer of at least \p iv_len Bytes.

The IV length for ciphers with variable-size IV. This parameter is discarded by ciphers with fixed-size IV.

The buffer holding the input data. This must be a readable buffer of at least \p ilen Bytes.

The length of the input data in Bytes.

The buffer for the output data. This must be able to hold at least `ilen + block_size`. This must not be the same buffer as \p input.

The length of the output data, to be updated with the actual number of Bytes written. This must not be \c NULL.

This function frees and clears the cipher-specific context of \p ctx. Freeing \p ctx itself remains the responsibility of the caller.

The generic cipher update function. It encrypts or decrypts using the given cipher context. Writes as many block-sized blocks of data as possible to output. Any data that cannot be written immediately is either added to the next block, or flushed when mbedtls_cipher_finish() is called. Exception: For MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB, expects a single block in size. For example, 16 Bytes for AES.

This function initializes and fills the cipher-context structure with the appropriate values. It also clears the structure. \internal Currently, the function also clears the structure. In future versions, the caller will be required to call mbedtls_cipher_init() on the structure first.

This function sets the key to use with the given context.

This function returns the mode of operation for the cipher. For example, MBEDTLS_MODE_CBC.

This function initializes a \p cipher_context as NONE.

This function returns the block size of the given cipher.

This function sets the initialization vector (IV) or nonce.

This function resets the cipher state.

The generic cipher finalization function. If data still needs to be flushed from an incomplete block, the data contained in it is padded to the size of the last block, and written to the \p output buffer.

The generic autenticated encryption (AEAD) function.

The generic autenticated decryption (AEAD) function.

This function adds additional data for AEAD ciphers. Currently supported with GCM and ChaCha20+Poly1305. This must be called exactly once, after mbedtls_cipher_reset().

This function writes a tag for AEAD ciphers. Currently supported with GCM and ChaCha20+Poly1305. This must be called after mbedtls_cipher_finish().

This function checks the tag for AEAD ciphers. Currently supported with GCM and ChaCha20+Poly1305. This must be called after mbedtls_cipher_finish().

This function returns the size of the IV or nonce of the cipher, in Bytes.

This function returns the type of the given cipher.

This function returns the name of the given cipher as a string.

This function returns the key length of the cipher.

This function returns the operation of the given cipher.
