NAME

6       gnutls_cipher_init - API function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
10
11       int gnutls_cipher_init(gnutls_cipher_hd_t * handle, gnutls_cipher_algo‐
12       rithm_t cipher, const gnutls_datum_t * key, const gnutls_datum_t * iv);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       gnutls_cipher_hd_t * handle
16                   is a gnutls_cipher_hd_t structure.
17
18       gnutls_cipher_algorithm_t cipher
19                   the encryption algorithm to use
20
21       const gnutls_datum_t * key
22                   The key to be used for encryption
23
24       const gnutls_datum_t * iv
25                   The IV to use (if not applicable set NULL)
26

DESCRIPTION

28       This function will initialize an context that can be used  for  encryp‐
29       tion/decryption  of  data. This will effectively use the current crypto
30       backend in use by gnutls or the cryptographic accelerator in use.
31

RETURNS

33       Zero or a negative value on error.
