Member Function Documentation

virtual DecodingResult PK_Decryptor::Decrypt (  RandomNumberGenerator &  rng, const byte *  cipherText, unsigned int  cipherTextLength, byte *  plainText )  const [pure virtual]

decrypt a byte string, and return the length of plaintext Precondition: size of plainText == MaxPlainTextLength(cipherTextLength) bytes. Returns: the actual length of the plaintext, or 0 if decryption fails. Implemented in PK_FixedLengthDecryptor.

BufferedTransformation * PK_Decryptor::CreateDecryptionFilter (  RandomNumberGenerator &  rng, BufferedTransformation *  attachment = NULL )  const [virtual]

create a new decryption filter Note: caller is responsible for deleting the returned pointer Definition at line 548 of file cryptlib.cpp. References CreateDecryptionFilter(). Referenced by CreateDecryptionFilter().

virtual unsigned int PK_CryptoSystem::MaxPlaintextLength (  unsigned int  cipherTextLength  )  const [pure virtual, inherited]

maximum length of plaintext for a given ciphertext length Note: This function returns 0 if cipherTextLength is not valid (too long or too short). Implemented in PK_FixedLengthCryptoSystem.

virtual unsigned int PK_CryptoSystem::CiphertextLength (  unsigned int  plainTextLength  )  const [pure virtual, inherited]

calculate length of ciphertext given length of plaintext Note: This function returns 0 if plainTextLength is not valid (too long). Implemented in PK_FixedLengthCryptoSystem.
