RSA Security manual AIRC5CBC, Pointer to an ARC5CBCPARAMS structure

AI_RC5_CBC

AI_RC5_CBC

Purpose:

This AI allows you to perform RC5 encryption and decryption in CBC mode with an 8-byte initialization vector and a variable number of rounds, as defined in RFC 2040. Since AI_RC5_CBC does not pad, the total number of input bytes must be a multiple of 8 bytes. See AI_RC5_CBCPad for the same algorithm with padding.

Other algorithms that can be used for encryption/decryption in CBC mode without padding are AI_DES_CBC_IV8, AI_DES_EDE3_CBC_IV8, AI_DESX_CBC_IV8, and AI_RC2_CBC.

Type of information this allows you to use:

a version number, a rounds count, a word size, and an 8-byte initialization vector for the RC5 32/r/b CBC encryption algorithm.

Note: To implement the RC5 cipher with a word size other than 32 bits, you should use AI_FeedbackCipher.

Format of info supplied to B_SetAlgorithmInfo:

pointer to an A_RC5_CBC_PARAMS structure:

typedef struct {
unsigned int	version;	/* currently 1.0 defined 0x10 */
unsigned int	rounds;	/* number of rounds (0 - 255) */
unsigned int	wordSizeInBits;	/* AI_RC5_CBC requires 32 */
unsigned char *iv;		/* initialization vector (8 bytes) */
} A_RC5_CBC_PARAMS;

Format of info returned by B_GetAlgorithmInfo:

pointer to an A_RC5_CBC_PARAMS structure (see above).

Crypto-C procedures to use with algorithm object:

B_EncryptInit, B_EncryptUpdate, B_EncryptFinal, B_DecryptInit,

B_DecryptUpdate, and B_DecryptFinal. You may pass (B_ALGORITHM_OBJ)NULL_PTR for all randomAlgorithm arguments.
