Encipher CCA Release 2.54
chaining_vector
The chaining_vector parameter is a pointer to a string variable containing a
work area that the security server uses to carry segmented data between
procedure-calls.
Note: The application program must not change the data in this variable.
ciphertext
The ciphertext parameter is a pointer to a string variable containing the
enciphered text returned by the verb. The starting address of the ciphertext
variable cannot begin within the plaintext variable. The returned ciphertext
might be up to eight bytes longer than the plaintext because of padding. The
verb updates the text_length variable to the length of the ciphertext when it
returns. The length will be different when padding is added.
Required Commands
The Encipher verb requires the Encipher command (offset X'000E') to be enabled
in the hardware.
