Field Documentation

◆ type

mbedtls_cipher_type_t type

Full cipher identifier.

For example, MBEDTLS_CIPHER_AES_256_CBC.

Definition at line 280 of file cipher.h.

◆ mode

mbedtls_cipher_mode_t mode

The cipher mode.

For example, MBEDTLS_MODE_CBC.

Definition at line 283 of file cipher.h.

◆ key_bitlen

unsigned int key_bitlen

The cipher key length, in bits.

This is the default length for variable sized ciphers. Includes parity bits for ciphers like DES.

Definition at line 289 of file cipher.h.

◆ name

const char* name

Name of the cipher.

Definition at line 292 of file cipher.h.

◆ iv_size

unsigned int iv_size

IV or nonce size, in Bytes.

For ciphers that accept variable IV sizes, this is the recommended size.

Definition at line 298 of file cipher.h.

◆ flags

int flags

Bitflag comprised of MBEDTLS_CIPHER_VARIABLE_IV_LEN and MBEDTLS_CIPHER_VARIABLE_KEY_LEN indicating whether the cipher supports variable IV or variable key sizes, respectively.

Definition at line 304 of file cipher.h.

◆ block_size

unsigned int block_size

The block size, in Bytes.

Definition at line 307 of file cipher.h.

◆ base

const mbedtls_cipher_base_t* base

Struct for base cipher information and functions.

Definition at line 310 of file cipher.h.
