Common Security Services Manager library (cdsa$incssm300_shr.exe)


return to top API PARAMETERS  

CCHandle (input)
 The handle that describes the context of this cryptographicoperation used to link to the CSP-managed information.
ClearBufs (input)
 A pointer to a vector of CSSM_DATA structures thatcontain the data to be operated on.
ClearBufCount (input)
 The number of ClearBufs.
CipherBufs (output)
 A pointer to a vector of CSSM_DATA structures thatcontain the results of the operation on the data.
CipherBufCount (input)
 The number of CipherBufs.
bytesEncrypted (output)
 A pointer to uint32 for the sizeof the encrypted data in bytes.
RemData (output)
 A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure for the remainingcipher text if there is not enough buffer space available in theoutput data structures.


return to top SPI PARAMETERS  

CSPHandle (input)
 The handle that describes the add-in CryptographicService Provider module used to perform calls to CSSM for the memoryfunctions managed by CSSM.
Context (input)
 Pointer to CSSM_CONTEXT structure that describesthe attributes with this context.
Privilege (input)
 The export privilege to be applied during the cryptographicoperation. This parameter is forwarded to the CSP after CSSM verifiesthe caller and service provider privilege set includes the specifiedPRIVILEGE.


return to top DESCRIPTION  

This function encrypts all data contained in the set of inputbuffers using information in the context. The CSSM_QuerySize() function can be used to estimate the output buffer sizerequired. The minimum number of buffers required to contain theresulting cipher text is produced as output. If the cipher textresult does not fit within the set of output buffers, the remainingcipher text is returned in the single output buffer RemData.

The CSP can require that the cryptographic context includeaccess credentials for authentication and authorization checks whenusing a private key or a secret key.


return to top NOTES FOR API  

The output is returned to the caller either by filling thecaller-specified buffer or by using the application's declared memoryallocation functions to allocate buffer space. To specify a specific,preallocated output buffer, the caller must provide an array ofone or more CSSM_DATA structures, each containing a Length fieldvalue greater than zero and a non-NULL data pointer field value.To specify automatic output buffer allocation by the CSP, the callermust provide an array of one or more CSSM_DATA structures, eachcontaining a Length field value equal to zero and a NULL Data pointerfield value. The application is always responsible for deallocatingthe memory when it is no longer needed. In-place encryption canbe done by supplying the same input and output buffers.


return to top NOTES FOR SPI  

The output is returned to the caller as specified in BufferManagement for Cryptographic Services.


return to top RETURN VALUE  

A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particularerror condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All othervalues represent an error condition.
