.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn ecb_crypt
and
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Fn cbc_crypt
implement the
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Tn NBS
.Tn DES
(Data Encryption Standard).
These routines are faster and more general purpose than
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Xr crypt 3 .
They also are able to utilize
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Tn DES
hardware if it is available.
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Fn ecb_crypt
encrypts in
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Tn ECB
(Electronic Code Book)
mode, which encrypts blocks of data independently.
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Fn cbc_crypt
encrypts in
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Tn CBC
(Cipher Block Chaining)
mode, which chains together
successive blocks.
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Tn CBC
mode protects against insertions, deletions and
substitutions of blocks.
Also, regularities in the clear text will
not appear in the cipher text.

.Pp
Here is how to use these routines.
The first parameter,
.Fa key ,
is the 8-byte encryption key with parity.
To set the key's parity, which for
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Tn DES
is in the low bit of each byte, use
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Fn des_setparity .
The second parameter,
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Fa data ,
contains the data to be encrypted or decrypted.
The
third parameter,
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Fa datalen ,
is the length in bytes of
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Fa data ,
which must be a multiple of 8.
The fourth parameter,
.Fa mode ,
is formed by
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Em OR Ns 'ing
together some things.
For the encryption direction
.Em OR
in either
.Dv DES_ENCRYPT
or
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Dv DES_DECRYPT .
For software versus hardware
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
encryption,
.Em OR
in either
.Dv DES_HW
or
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Dv DES_SW .
If
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Dv DES_HW
is specified, and there is no hardware, then the encryption is performed
in software and the routine returns
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Er DESERR_NOHWDEVICE .
For
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Fn cbc_crypt ,
the parameter
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Fa ivec
is the the 8-byte initialization
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
vector for the chaining.
It is updated to the next initialization
vector upon return.
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Sh ERRORS
.Bl -tag -width [DESERR_NOHWDEVICE] -compact
.It Bq Er DESERR_NONE
No error.
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.It Bq Er DESERR_NOHWDEVICE
Encryption succeeded, but done in software instead of the requested hardware.
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.It Bq Er DESERR_HWERR
An error occurred in the hardware or driver.
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.It Bq Er DESERR_BADPARAM
Bad parameter to routine.

Given a result status

.Va stat ,
the macro
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00

is false only for the first two statuses.
