Name
rsa_encipher
Synopsis
void rsa_encipher(Hugeplaintext, Huge *ciphertext, RsaPubKeypubkey);
Return Value
None.
Description
Uses RSA to encipher one block of plaintext specified by
plaintext. Specify the public key
(e, n) in the
RsaPubKey structure
pubkey. A block the same size as
plaintext is returned in
ciphertext. It is the responsibility of
the caller to manage the storage required in
ciphertext. To encipher a large buffer
of data, call rsa_encipher in accordance with
a block cipher mode (see the example earlier in this
chapter).
