gnutls_aead_cipher_encrypt(3) gnutlsgnutls_aead_cipher_encrypt(3)gnutls_aead_cipher_encrypt - API function
#include <gnutls/crypto.h>int gnutls_aead_cipher_encrypt(gnutls_aead_cipher_hd_thandle,const void *nonce, size_tnonce_len, const void *auth, size_tauth_len, size_ttag_size, const void *ptext, size_tptext_len,void *ctext, size_t *ctext_len);
gnutls_aead_cipher_hd_t handle is agnutls_aead_cipher_hd_ttype. const void * nonce the nonce to set size_t nonce_len The length of the nonce const void * auth additional data to be authenticated size_t auth_len The length of the data size_t tag_size The size of the tag to use (use zero for the default) const void * ptext the data to encrypt size_t ptext_len The length of data to encrypt void * ctext the encrypted data including authentication tag size_t * ctext_len the length of encrypted data (initially must hold the maximum available size, including space for tag)
This function will encrypt the given data using the algorithm specified by the context. The output data will contain the authentication tag.
Zero or a negative error code on error.
