encrypt_r3

Usage

#define _XOPEN_SOURCE       /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <unistd.h>

Library

Password hashing library (libcrypt, -lcrypt)

Overview

These functions encrypt and decrypt 64-bit messages. The setkey() function sets the key used by encrypt(). The key argument 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 argument, 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 current_saltbits;
    int  direction;
    int  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, errno is unchanged.

ENOSYS

The function is not provided. (For example because of former USA export restrictions.)
