NAME

6       gnutls_cipher_init - API function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <gnutls/crypto.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 type
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/decryption
23
24       const gnutls_datum_t * iv
25                   the IV to use (if not applicable set NULL)
26

DESCRIPTION

28       This function will initialize the  handle context to be usable for  en‐
29       cryption/decryption  of  data.  This  will  effectively use the current
30       crypto backend in use by gnutls or  the  cryptographic  accelerator  in
31       use.
32

RETURNS

34       Zero or a negative error code on error.
