ENCRYPT(3) Cryptographic Functions ENCRYPT(3)
NAME
encrypt, setkey, encrypt_r, setkey_r - encrypt 64-bit messages
SYNOPSIS
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
void encrypt(char block[64], int edflag);
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE
#include <stdlib.h>
void setkey(const char *key);
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <crypt.h>
void setkey_r (const char *key, struct crypt_data *data);
void encrypt_r (char *block, int edflag, struct crypt_data *data);
Each of these requires linking with -lcrypt.
DESCRIPTION
These functions encrypt and decrypt 64-bit messages. The setkey() function sets the
key used by encrypt(). The key parameter used here is an array of 64 bytes, each
of which has numerical value 1 or 0. The bytes key[n] where n=8*i-1 are ignored, so
that the effective key length is 56 bits.
The encrypt() function modifies the passed buffer, encoding if edflag is 0, and
decoding if 1 is being passed. Like the key parameter also block is a bit vector
representation of the actual value that is encoded. The result is returned in that
same vector.
These two functions are not reentrant, that is, the key data is kept in static
storage. The functions setkey_r() and encrypt_r() are the reentrant versions. They
use the following structure to hold the key data:
struct crypt_data {
char keysched[16 * 8];
char sb0[32768];
char sb1[32768];
char sb2[32768];
char sb3[32768];
char crypt_3_buf[14];
char current_salt[2];
long int current_saltbits;
int direction, initialized;
};
Before calling setkey_r() set data->initialized to zero.
RETURN VALUE
These functions do not return any value.
ERRORS
Set errno to zero before calling the above functions. On success, it is unchanged.
ENOSYS The function is not provided. (For example because of former USA export
restrictions.)
EXAMPLE
You need to link with libcrypt to compile this example with glibc2.2. To do useful
work the key[] and txt[] arrays must be filled with a useful bit pattern. Note that
the <crypt.h> header unconditionally gives the prototypes for setkey() and
encrypt().
#include <crypt.h>
main() {
char key[64]; /* bit pattern for key */
char txt[64]; /* bit pattern for messages */
setkey(key);
encrypt(txt, 0); /* encode */
encrypt(txt, 1); /* decode */
}
NOTE
In glibc2.2 these functions use the DES algorithm.
CONFORMING TO
The functions encrypt() and setkey() conform to SVr4, SUSv2, and POSIX.1-2001. The
functions encrypt_r() and setkey_r() are GNU extensions.
