Custom Encryption C API

To implement a custom encryption algorithm, developers must implement the following APIs. Stubs for these APIs are provided in the "stub" library mcocryptstub. The stub library contains empty API implementations which simply halt processing with the error code MCO_E_UNSUPPORTED. Developers need to implement their custom encryption algorithm in these functions, as described in the reference guide pages below, in a separate library which will then be linked to their application instead of library mcocryptaes.

For an overview see page Encryption C API

Please use the links below to view details and examples of the individual encryption APIs:

mco_crypt_algorithm()	Return the algorithm type supported by the encryption library currently linked
mco_crypt_init_ctx()	Prepare the encryption context by a cipher key string
mco_crypt_block()	Encrypt or decrypt a block of data
mco_crypt_stream()	Encrypt or decrypt a data buffer to be placed into a stream.
mco_crypt_init_state()	Create an encryption state structure
