13.In rpc/des_crypt.h
14.Ft int
15.Fn ecb_crypt "char *key" "char *data" "unsigned datalen" "unsigned mode"
16.Ft int

20.Sh DESCRIPTION
21The
22.Fn ecb_crypt
23and
24.Fn cbc_crypt
25functions
26implement the
27.Tn NBS
28.Tn DES
29(Data Encryption Standard).
30These routines are faster and more general purpose than
31.Xr crypt 3 .
32They also are able to utilize
33.Tn DES
34hardware if it is available.
35The
36.Fn ecb_crypt
37function
38encrypts in
39.Tn ECB
40(Electronic Code Book)
41mode, which encrypts blocks of data independently.
42The
43.Fn cbc_crypt
44function
45encrypts in
46.Tn CBC
47(Cipher Block Chaining)
48mode, which chains together
49successive blocks.
50.Tn CBC
51mode protects against insertions, deletions and
52substitutions of blocks.
53Also, regularities in the clear text will
54not appear in the cipher text.
55.Pp
56Here is how to use these routines.
57The first argument,
58.Fa key ,
59is the 8-byte encryption key with parity.
60To set the key's parity, which for
61.Tn DES
62is in the low bit of each byte, use
63.Fn des_setparity .
64The second argument,
65.Fa data ,
66contains the data to be encrypted or decrypted.
67The
68third argument,
69.Fa datalen ,
70is the length in bytes of
71.Fa data ,
72which must be a multiple of 8.
73The fourth argument,
74.Fa mode ,
75is formed by
76.Em OR Ns 'ing
77together some things.
78For the encryption direction
79.Em OR
80in either
81.Dv DES_ENCRYPT
82or
83.Dv DES_DECRYPT .
84For software versus hardware
85encryption,
86.Em OR
87in either
88.Dv DES_HW
89or
90.Dv DES_SW .
91If
92.Dv DES_HW
93is specified, and there is no hardware, then the encryption is performed
94in software and the routine returns
95.Er DESERR_NOHWDEVICE .
96For
97.Fn cbc_crypt ,
98the
99.Fa ivec
100argument
101is the 8-byte initialization
102vector for the chaining.
103It is updated to the next initialization
104vector upon return.
105.Sh ERRORS
106.Bl -tag -width [DESERR_NOHWDEVICE] -compact
107.It Bq Er DESERR_NONE
108No error.
109.It Bq Er DESERR_NOHWDEVICE
110Encryption succeeded, but done in software instead of the requested hardware.
111.It Bq Er DESERR_HWERROR
112An error occurred in the hardware or driver.
113.It Bq Er DESERR_BADPARAM
114Bad argument to routine.
115.El
116.Pp
117Given a result status
118.Va stat ,
119the macro
120.Fn DES_FAILED stat
121is false only for the first two statuses.
