Detailed Description

Qore's cryptography support is provided by the OpenSSL library. Each of the encryption and decryption functions in this section accept an optional initialization vector, which is data used as initial input for the first block in chained encryption algorithms. Subsequent blocks take input from the last block encrypted/decrypted. If an initialization vector is not supplied, a default value of 8 zero bytes will be used (see Qore::DefaultIV).

See also:

Some functions require fixed-length keys, and some allow the use of variable-length keys. For functions requiring fixed-length keys any excess bytes are ignored. The same applies to initialization vector arguments.

The following is an example of a function that uses /dev/random on UNIX to read in a random key for use with encryption functions:

# read a key from /dev/random and return the key
binary sub get_key(int size) {
# throw an exception if an invalid key size was passed
if (!size || size < 0) {
throw "GET-KEY-ERROR", sprintf("invalid size = %n", size);
}
File f();
# File::open2() will throw an exception if /dev/random cannot be opened for reading
f.open2("/dev/random");
return f.readBinary(size);
}
Note
The following generic cryptographic functions are recommended over the older cipher-specific functions which will be deprecated in a later release of Qore:
