input
type: char_string
access: read only
mechanism: by descriptor
Plaintext record to be encrypted. The input argument is the
address of a string descriptor pointing to a byte-aligned buffer
containing the input record to be encrypted.
output
type: char_string
access: write only
mechanism: by descriptor
Ciphertext record resulting when the routine completes execution.
The output argument is the address of a string descriptor
pointing to a byte-aligned buffer that will contain the
ciphertext record.
If the descriptor is dynamic, and insufficient space is allocated
to contain the output record, storage is allocated from dynamic
memory. If insufficient space exists to contain the output of the
operation, an error is returned.
The ENCRYPT$ENCRYPT_ONE_RECORD routine adjusts the length of the
output descriptor, if possible, to reflect the actual length of
the output string.
key-name
type: char_string
access: read only
mechanism: by descriptor
Key used to initialize the encrypt stream. The key-name argument
is the address of a string descriptor pointing to the name of the
previously defined user key to be used.
algorithm
type: char_string
access: read only
mechanism: by descriptor
Algorithm used for the encryption operation. The algorithm
argument is the address of a string descriptor pointing to a
code for the selected algorithm. The algorithm code is an ASCII
string. For descriptor type value, use one of the following:
o DSC$K_DTYPE_T (text)
o DSC$K_DTYPE_VT (varying text)
o DSC$K_DTYPE_Z (unspecified)
For DES, the following algorithms are valid:
o DESCBC (default)
o DESECB
o DESCFB
For AES, the following algorithms are valid:
o Cipher block chaining:
AESCBC128 (default)
AESCBC192
AESCBC256
o Electronic code book:
AESECB128
AESECB192
AESECB256
o Cipher feedback:
AESCFB128
AESCFB192
AESCFB256
o Output feedback:
AESOFB128
AESOFB192
AESOFB256
