## Detailed Description

Cipher provider.

Note
  This class is part of the provider plugin interface and should not be used directly by applications. You probably want Cipher instead.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QCA::CipherContext::CipherContext | ( | Provider * | p,
|  | const QString & | type
| ) |  |
| inline

Standard constructor.

Parameters

  p | the provider associated with this context
  type | the name of the type of cipher provided by this context

Note
  type includes the name of the cipher (e.g. "aes256"), the operating mode (e.g. "cbc" or "ofb") and the padding type (e.g. "pkcs7") if any.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual void QCA::CipherContext::setup | ( | Direction | dir,
|  | const SymmetricKey & | key,
|  | const InitializationVector & | iv
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Set up the object for encrypt/decrypt.

Parameters

  dir | the direction for the cipher (encryption/decryption)
  key | the symmetric key to use for the cipher
  iv | the initialization vector to use for the cipher (not used in ECB mode)

virtual KeyLength QCA::CipherContext::keyLength | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns the KeyLength for this cipher.

virtual int QCA::CipherContext::blockSize | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns the block size for this cipher.

virtual bool QCA::CipherContext::update | ( | const SecureArray & | in,
|  | SecureArray * | out
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Process a chunk of data.

Returns true if successful.

Parameters

  in | the input data to process
  out | pointer to an array that should store the result

virtual bool QCA::CipherContext::final | ( | SecureArray * | out | ) |
| pure virtual

Finish the cipher processing.

Returns true if successful.

Parameters

  out | pointer to an array that should store the result
