◆ Encrypt()

virtual void PK_Encryptor::Encrypt ( RandomNumberGenerator rng,
const byte plaintext,
size_t  plaintextLength,
byte ciphertext,
const NameValuePairs parameters = g_nullNameValuePairs 
) const
pure virtual

Encrypt a byte string.

Parameters
rnga RandomNumberGenerator derived class
plaintextthe plaintext byte buffer
plaintextLengththe size of the plaintext byte buffer
ciphertexta byte buffer to hold the encrypted string
parametersa set of NameValuePairs to initialize this object
Precondition
CiphertextLength(plaintextLength) != 0 ensures the plaintext isn't too large
COUNTOF(ciphertext) == CiphertextLength(plaintextLength) ensures the output byte buffer is large enough.

PK_Decryptor

Implemented in DL_EncryptorBase< T >.

◆ CreateEncryptionFilter()

virtual BufferedTransformation* PK_Encryptor::CreateEncryptionFilter ( RandomNumberGenerator rng,
BufferedTransformation attachment = NULL,
const NameValuePairs parameters = g_nullNameValuePairs 
) const
virtual

Create a new encryption filter.

Parameters
rnga RandomNumberGenerator derived class
attachmentan attached transformation
parametersa set of NameValuePairs to initialize this object

attachment can be NULL. The caller is responsible for deleting the returned pointer. Encoding parameters should be passed in the "EP" channel.
