31=head1 DESCRIPTION
32
33PKCS12_PBE_keyivgen() and PKCS12_PBE_keyivgen_ex() take a password I<pass> of
34length I<passlen>, parameters I<param> and a message digest function I<md_type>
35and perform a key derivation according to PKCS#12. The resulting key is
36then used to initialise the cipher context I<ctx> with a cipher I<cipher> for
37encryption (I<en_de>=1) or decryption (I<en_de>=0).
38
39PKCS12_PBE_keyivgen_ex() also allows the application to specify a library context
40I<libctx> and property query I<propq> to select appropriate algorithm
41implementations.
42
43PKCS12_pbe_crypt() and PKCS12_pbe_crypt_ex() will encrypt or decrypt a buffer
44based on the algorithm in I<algor> and password I<pass> of length I<passlen>.
45The input is from I<in> of length I<inlen> and output is into a malloc'd buffer
46returned in I<*data> of length I<datalen>. The operation is determined by I<en_de>,
47encryption (I<en_de>=1) or decryption (I<en_de>=0).
48
49PKCS12_pbe_crypt_ex() allows the application to specify a library context
50I<libctx> and property query I<propq> to select appropriate algorithm
51implementations.
52
53I<pass> is the password used in the derivation of length I<passlen>. I<pass>
54is an optional parameter and can be NULL. If I<passlen> is -1, then the
55function will calculate the length of I<pass> using strlen().
56
57I<salt> is the salt used in the derivation of length I<saltlen>. If the
58I<salt> is NULL, then I<saltlen> must be 0. The function will not
59attempt to calculate the length of the I<salt> because it is not assumed to
60be NULL terminated.
61
62I<iter> is the iteration count and its value should be greater than or
63equal to 1. RFC 2898 suggests an iteration count of at least 1000. Any
64I<iter> less than 1 is treated as a single iteration.
65
66I<digest> is the message digest function used in the derivation.
67
68Functions ending in _ex() take optional parameters I<libctx> and I<propq> which
69are used to select appropriate algorithm implementations.
70
71=head1 NOTES
72
73The functions are typically used in PKCS#12 to encrypt objects.
74
75These functions make no assumption regarding the given password.
76It will simply be treated as a byte sequence.
77
78=head1 RETURN VALUES
79
80PKCS12_PBE_keyivgen(), PKCS12_PBE_keyivgen_ex() return 1 on success or 0 on error.
81
82PKCS12_pbe_crypt() and PKCS12_pbe_crypt_ex() return a buffer containing the
83output or NULL if an error occurred.
