These routines are faster and more general purpose than \fBcrypt\fR(3C). They also are able to utilize \fBDES\fR hardware if it is available. \fBecb_crypt()\fR encrypts in \fBECB\fR (Electronic Code Book) mode, which encrypts blocks of data independently. \fBcbc_crypt()\fR encrypts in \fBCBC\fR (Cipher Block Chaining) mode, which chains together successive blocks. \fBCBC\fR mode protects against insertions, deletions, and substitutions of blocks. Also, regularities in the clear text will not appear in the cipher text. .sp .LP The first parameter, \fIkey\fR, is the 8-byte encryption key with parity. To set the key's parity, which for \fBDES\fR is in the low bit of each byte, use \fBdes_setparity()\fR. The second parameter, \fIdata\fR, contains the data to be encrypted or decrypted. The third parameter, \fIdatalen\fR, is the length in bytes of \fIdata\fR, which must be a multiple of 8. The fourth parameter, \fImode\fR, is formed by \fBOR'ing\fR together the \fBDES_ENCRYPT\fR or \fBDES_DECRYPT\fR to specify the encryption direction and \fBDES_HW\fR or \fBDES_SW\fR to specify software or hardware encryption. If \fBDES_HW\fR is specified, and there is no hardware, then the encryption is performed in software and the routine returns \fBDESERR_NOHWDEVICE.\fR .sp .LP For \fBcbc_crypt()\fR, the parameter \fIivec\fR is the 8-byte initialization vector for the chaining. It is updated to the next initialization vector upon successful return. .SH RETURN VALUES .sp .LP Given a result status \fIstat\fR, the macro \fBDES_FAILED\fR is false only for the first two statuses. .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBDESERR_NONE\fR\fR .ad .RS 21n No error. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBDESERR_NOHWDEVICE\fR\fR .ad .RS 21n Encryption succeeded, but done in software instead of the requested hardware. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBDESERR_HWERROR\fR\fR .ad .RS 21n An error occurred in the hardware or driver. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBDESERR_BADPARAM\fR\fR .ad .RS 21n Bad parameter to routine. .RE .SH ATTRIBUTES .sp .LP See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: .sp .sp .TS box; c | c l | l .

This flag should only be used in multi-thread applications.
