KRB5_ENCRYPT(3)            UNIX Programmer's Manual            KRB5_ENCRYPT(3)

NAME

     krb5_decrypt, krb5_decrypt_EncryptedData, krb5_encrypt,
     krb5_encrypt_EncryptedData - encrypt and decrypt data

LIBRARY

     Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)

SYNOPSIS

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_encrypt(krb5_context context, krb5_crypto crypto, unsigned usage,
             void *data, size_t len, krb5_data *result)

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_encrypt_EncryptedData(krb5_context context, krb5_crypto crypto,
             unsigned usage, void *data, size_t len, int kvno,
             EncryptedData *result)

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_decrypt(krb5_context context, krb5_crypto crypto, unsigned usage,
             void *data, size_t len, krb5_data *result)

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_decrypt_EncryptedData(krb5_context context, krb5_crypto crypto,
             unsigned usage, EncryptedData *e, krb5_data *result)

DESCRIPTION

     These functions are used to encrypt and decrypt data.

     krb5_encrypt() puts the encrypted version of data (of size len) in
     result. If the encryption type supports using derived keys, usage should
     be the appropriate key-usage.  krb5_encrypt_EncryptedData() does the same
     as krb5_encrypt(), but it puts the encrypted data in a EncryptedData
     structure instead. If kvno is not zero, it will be put in the kvno field
     in the EncryptedData.

     krb5_decrypt(), and krb5_decrypt_EncryptedData() works similarly.
