skcipher_request_set_crypt – set data buffers
Synopsis
void skcipher_request_set_crypt(struct skcipher_request *req, struct scatterlist *src, struct scatterlist *dst, unsigned int cryptlen, void *iv);Arguments
req
-
- request handle
src
- source scatter / gather list
dst
- destination scatter / gather list
cryptlen
- number of bytes to process from src
iv
- IV for the cipher operation which must comply with the IV size defined by crypto_skcipher_ivsize
Description
This function allows setting of the source data and destination data scatter / gather lists.
For encryption, the source is treated as the plaintext and the destination is the ciphertext. For a decryption operation, the use is reversed – the source is the ciphertext and the destination is the plaintext.
