|
|

|
|
.Fn encrypt "char *block" "int flag"
|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The functions,
|
|
.Fn encrypt ,
|
|
.Fn setkey ,
|
|
.Fn des_setkey
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn des_cipher
|
|
provide access to the
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
algorithm.
|
|
.Fn setkey
|
|
is passed a 64-byte array of binary values (numeric 0 or 1).
|
|
A 56-bit key is extracted from this array by dividing the
|
|
array into groups of 8, and ignoring the last bit in each group.
|
|
That bit is reserved for a byte parity check by DES, but is ignored
|
|
by these functions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa block
|
|
argument to
|
|
.Fn encrypt
|
|
is also a 64-byte array of binary values.
|
|
If the value of
|
|
.Fa flag
|
|
is 0,
|
|
.Fa block
|
|
is encrypted otherwise it is decrypted.
|
|
The result is returned in the original array
|
|
.Fa block
|
|
after using the key specified by
|
|
.Fn setkey
|
|
to process it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The argument to
|
|
.Fn des_setkey
|
|
is a character array of length 8.
|
|
The least significant bit (the parity bit) in each character is ignored,
|
|
and the remaining bits are concatenated to form a 56-bit key.
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn des_cipher
|
|
encrypts (or decrypts if
|
|
.Fa count
|
|
is negative) the 64-bits stored in the 8 characters at
|
|
.Fa in
|
|
using
|
|
.Xr abs 3
|
|
of
|
|
.Fa count
|
|
iterations of
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
and stores the 64-bit result in the 8 characters at
|
|
.Fa out
|
|
(which may be the same as
|
|
.Fa in
|
|
).
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa salt
|
|
introduces disorder in the
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
algorithm in one of 16777216 or 4096 possible ways
|
|
(ie. with 24 or 12 bits: if bit
|
|
.Em i
|
|
of the
|
|
.Ar salt
|
|
is set, then bits
|
|
.Em i
|
|
and
|
|
.Em i+24
|
|
are swapped in the
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
E-box output).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The functions
|
|
.Fn setkey ,
|
|
.Fn encrypt ,
|
|
.Fn des_setkey ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn des_cipher
|
|
return 0 on success and 1 on failure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setkey
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn des_setkey
|
|
functions manipulate the same key space.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
This library (FreeSec 1.0) was developed outside the United States of America
|
|
as an unencumbered replacement for the U.S.-only NetBSD libcrypt encryption
|
|
library.
|
|
Users should be aware that this code (and programs staticly linked with it)
|
|
may not be exported from the U.S., although it apparently can be imported.
