gnutls_cipher_init − API function
#include <gnutls/crypto.h>
int gnutls_cipher_init(gnutls_cipher_hd_t * handle, gnutls_cipher_algorithm_t cipher, const gnutls_datum_t * key, const gnutls_datum_t * iv);
gnutls_cipher_hd_t * handle
is a gnutls_cipher_hd_t type
gnutls_cipher_algorithm_t cipher
the encryption algorithm to use
const gnutls_datum_t * key
the key to be used for encryption/decryption
const gnutls_datum_t * iv
the IV to use (if not applicable set NULL)
This function will initialize the handle context to be usable for encryption/decryption of data. This will effectively use the current crypto backend in use by gnutls or the cryptographic accelerator in use.
Zero or a negative error code on error.
