kcapi_md_digest - Man Page

calculate message digest on buffer (one-shot)

Synopsis

ssize_t kcapi_md_digest(struct kcapi_handle * handle, const uint8_t * in, size_t inlen, uint8_t * out, size_t outlen);

Arguments

handle

[in] cipher handle

in

[in] buffer with input data

inlen

[in] length of input buffer

out

[out] buffer for message digest

outlen

[in] length of out

Description

With this one-shot function, a message digest of the given buffer is generated​. The output buffer must be allocated by the caller and have at least the length of the message digest size for the chosen message digest​.

The message digest handle must have been initialized, potentially by also setting the key using the generic message digest API functions​.

The input buffer can be at most INT_MAX in size​.

return size of message digest upon success; -EIO - data cannot be obtained; -ENOMEM - buffer is too small for the complete message digest, the buffer is filled with the truncated message digest
