AI_RFC1113Recode

Purpose:

This AI allows you to convert data from binary format to ASCII characters, and vice versa, as defined by RFC 1113.

Type of information this allows you to use:

the binary to printable recoding algorithm as defined by RFC 1113; see also RFC 1421 for updated version of the standard.

Format of info supplied to B_SetAlgorithmInfo:

NULL_PTR.

Format of info returned by B_GetAlgorithmInfo:

NULL_PTR.

Crypto-C procedures to use with algorithm object:

B_EncodeInit, B_EncodeUpdate, B_EncodeFinal, B_DecodeInit, B_DecodeUpdate, and B_DecodeFinal.

Output considerations:

When encoding, for each 3 bytes of input there are 4 bytes of output. When decoding, for each 4 bytes of input there are 3 bytes of output.
