NAME

CSSM_EncryptDataUpdate, CSP_EncryptDataUpdate — Continue the staged encryption process (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS

# include <cssm.h>
API:
CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_EncryptDataUpdate
(CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
const CSSM_DATA *ClearBufs,
uint32 ClearBufCount,
CSSM_DATA_PTR CipherBufs,
uint32 CipherBufCount,
uint32 *bytesEncrypted)
SPI:
CSSM_RETURN CSSMCSPI CSP_EncryptDataUpdate
(CSSM_CSP_HANDLE CSPHandle,
CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
const CSSM_DATA *ClearBufs,
uint32 ClearBufCount,
CSSM_DATA_PTR CipherBufs,
uint32 CipherBufCount,
uint32 *bytesEncrypted)

LIBRARY

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

API PARAMETERS

CCHandle (input) 

The handle that describes the context of this cryptographic operation used to link to the CSP-managed information.

ClearBufs (input)
  

A pointer to a vector of CSSM_DATA structures that contain the data to be operated on.

ClearBufCount (input)
  

The number of ClearBufs.

CipherBufs (output)
  

A pointer to a vector of CSSM_DATA structures that contain the encrypted data resulting from the encryption operation.

CipherBufCount (input)
  

The number of CipherBufs.

bytesEncrypted (output)
  

A pointer to uint32 for the size of the encrypted data in bytes.

SPI PARAMETERS

CSPHandle (input)
  

The handle that describes the add-in Cryptographic Service Provider module used to perform calls to CSSM for the memory functions managed by CSSM.

DESCRIPTION

This function continues the staged encryption process over all data in the set of input buffers. There can be algorithm-specific and token-specific rules restricting the lengths of data in CSSM_EncryptUpdate() calls, but multiple input buffers are supported. The minimum number of buffers required to contain the resulting cipher text is produced as output. Excess output buffer space is not remembered across staged encryption calls. Each staged call begins filling one or more new output buffers. The CSSM_QuerySize() function can be used to estimate the output buffer size required for each update call.

RETURN VALUE

A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular error condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other values represent an error condition.

ERRORS

Errors are described in the CDSA Technical Standard.

None specific to this call.

NOTES FOR API

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

NOTES FOR SPI

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