NAME

6       kcapi_akcipher_stream_init_enc - start an encryption operation (stream)
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ssize_t kcapi_akcipher_stream_init_enc(struct kcapi_handle * handle,
10                                              struct iovec * iov,
11                                              size_t iovlen);
12

ARGUMENTS

14       handle
15           [in] cipher handle
16
17       iov
18           [in] scatter/gather list with data to be encrypted. This is the
19           pointer to the first iov entry if an array of iov entries is
20           supplied. See sendmsg(2) for details on how iov is to be used. This
21           pointer may be NULL if no data to be encrypted is available at the
22           point of the call.
23
24       iovlen
25           [in] number of scatter/gather list elements. If iov is NULL, this
26           value must be zero.

DESCRIPTION

29       A stream encryption operation is started with this call. Multiple
30       successive kcapi_akcipher_stream_update function calls can be invoked
31       to send more plaintext data to be encrypted. The last invocation to
32       supply data must be done with kcapi_akcipher_stream_update_last. The
33       kernel buffers the input until kcapi_akcipher_stream_op picks up the
34       encrypted data. Once plaintext is encrypted during the
35       kcapi_cipher_stream_op it is removed from the kernel buffer.
36
37       The function calls of kcapi_akcipher_stream_update and
38       kcapi_akcipher_stream_op can be mixed, even by multiple threads of an
39       application.
40
41       return number of bytes sent to the kernel upon success; a negative
42       errno-style error code if an error occurred
