  168. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  169. The \s-1EVP\s0 encode routines provide a high-level interface to base 64 encoding and
  170. decoding. Base 64 encoding converts binary data into a printable form that uses
  171. the characters A\-Z, a\-z, 0\-9, \*(L"+\*(R" and \*(L"/\*(R" to represent the data. For every 3
  172. bytes of binary data provided 4 bytes of base 64 encoded data will be produced
  173. plus some occasional newlines (see below). If the input data length is not a
  174. multiple of 3 then the output data will be padded at the end using the \*(L"=\*(R"
  175. character.
  176. .PP
  177. \&\fBEVP_ENCODE_CTX_new()\fR allocates, initializes and returns a context to be used for
  178. the encode/decode functions.
  179. .PP
  180. \&\fBEVP_ENCODE_CTX_free()\fR cleans up an encode/decode context \fBctx\fR and frees up the
  181. space allocated to it. If the argument is \s-1NULL,\s0 nothing is done.
  182. .PP
  183. Encoding of binary data is performed in blocks of 48 input bytes (or less for
  184. the final block). For each 48 byte input block encoded 64 bytes of base 64 data
  185. is output plus an additional newline character (i.e. 65 bytes in total). The
  186. final block (which may be less than 48 bytes) will output 4 bytes for every 3
  187. bytes of input. If the data length is not divisible by 3 then a full 4 bytes is
  188. still output for the final 1 or 2 bytes of input. Similarly a newline character
  189. will also be output.
  190. .PP
  191. \&\fBEVP_EncodeInit()\fR initialises \fBctx\fR for the start of a new encoding operation.
  192. .PP
  193. \&\fBEVP_EncodeUpdate()\fR encode \fBinl\fR bytes of data found in the buffer pointed to by
  194. \&\fBin\fR. The output is stored in the buffer \fBout\fR and the number of bytes output
  195. is stored in \fB*outl\fR. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the
  196. buffer at \fBout\fR is sufficiently large to accommodate the output data. Only full
  197. blocks of data (48 bytes) will be immediately processed and output by this
  198. function. Any remainder is held in the \fBctx\fR object and will be processed by a
  199. subsequent call to \fBEVP_EncodeUpdate()\fR or \fBEVP_EncodeFinal()\fR. To calculate the
  200. required size of the output buffer add together the value of \fBinl\fR with the
  201. amount of unprocessed data held in \fBctx\fR and divide the result by 48 (ignore
  202. any remainder). This gives the number of blocks of data that will be processed.
  203. Ensure the output buffer contains 65 bytes of storage for each block, plus an
  204. additional byte for a \s-1NUL\s0 terminator. \fBEVP_EncodeUpdate()\fR may be called
  205. repeatedly to process large amounts of input data. In the event of an error
  206. \&\fBEVP_EncodeUpdate()\fR will set \fB*outl\fR to 0 and return 0. On success 1 will be
  207. returned.
  208. .PP
  209. \&\fBEVP_EncodeFinal()\fR must be called at the end of an encoding operation. It will
  210. process any partial block of data remaining in the \fBctx\fR object. The output
  211. data will be stored in \fBout\fR and the length of the data written will be stored
  212. in \fB*outl\fR. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that \fBout\fR is
  213. sufficiently large to accommodate the output data which will never be more than
  214. 65 bytes plus an additional \s-1NUL\s0 terminator (i.e. 66 bytes in total).
  215. .PP
  216. \&\fBEVP_ENCODE_CTX_copy()\fR can be used to copy a context \fBsctx\fR to a context
  217. \&\fBdctx\fR. \fBdctx\fR must be initialized before calling this function.
  218. .PP
  219. \&\fBEVP_ENCODE_CTX_num()\fR will return the number of as yet unprocessed bytes still to
  220. be encoded or decoded that are pending in the \fBctx\fR object.
  221. .PP
  222. \&\fBEVP_EncodeBlock()\fR encodes a full block of input data in \fBf\fR and of length
  223. \&\fBn\fR and stores it in \fBt\fR. For every 3 bytes of input provided 4 bytes of
  224. output data will be produced. If \fBn\fR is not divisible by 3 then the block is
  225. encoded as a final block of data and the output is padded such that it is always
  226. divisible by 4. Additionally a \s-1NUL\s0 terminator character will be added. For
  227. example if 16 bytes of input data is provided then 24 bytes of encoded data is
  228. created plus 1 byte for a \s-1NUL\s0 terminator (i.e. 25 bytes in total). The length of
  229. the data generated \fIwithout\fR the \s-1NUL\s0 terminator is returned from the function.
  230. .PP
  231. \&\fBEVP_DecodeInit()\fR initialises \fBctx\fR for the start of a new decoding operation.
  232. .PP
  233. \&\fBEVP_DecodeUpdate()\fR decodes \fBinl\fR characters of data found in the buffer pointed
  234. to by \fBin\fR. The output is stored in the buffer \fBout\fR and the number of bytes
  235. output is stored in \fB*outl\fR. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that
  236. the buffer at \fBout\fR is sufficiently large to accommodate the output data. This
  237. function will attempt to decode as much data as possible in 4 byte chunks. Any
  238. whitespace, newline or carriage return characters are ignored. Any partial chunk
  239. of unprocessed data (1, 2 or 3 bytes) that remains at the end will be held in
  240. the \fBctx\fR object and processed by a subsequent call to \fBEVP_DecodeUpdate()\fR. If
  241. any illegal base 64 characters are encountered or if the base 64 padding
  242. character \*(L"=\*(R" is encountered in the middle of the data then the function returns
  243. \&\-1 to indicate an error. A return value of 0 or 1 indicates successful
  244. processing of the data. A return value of 0 additionally indicates that the last
  245. input data characters processed included the base 64 padding character \*(L"=\*(R" and
  246. therefore no more non-padding character data is expected to be processed. For
  247. every 4 valid base 64 bytes processed (ignoring whitespace, carriage returns and
  248. line feeds), 3 bytes of binary output data will be produced (or less at the end
  249. of the data where the padding character \*(L"=\*(R" has been used).
  250. .PP
  251. \&\fBEVP_DecodeFinal()\fR must be called at the end of a decoding operation. If there
  252. is any unprocessed data still in \fBctx\fR then the input data must not have been
  253. a multiple of 4 and therefore an error has occurred. The function will return \-1
  254. in this case. Otherwise the function returns 1 on success.
  255. .PP
  256. \&\fBEVP_DecodeBlock()\fR will decode the block of \fBn\fR characters of base 64 data
  257. contained in \fBf\fR and store the result in \fBt\fR. Any leading whitespace will be
  258. trimmed as will any trailing whitespace, newlines, carriage returns or \s-1EOF\s0
  259. characters. After such trimming the length of the data in \fBf\fR must be divisible
  260. by 4. For every 4 input bytes exactly 3 output bytes will be produced. The
  261. output will be padded with 0 bits if necessary to ensure that the output is
  262. always 3 bytes for every 4 input bytes. This function will return the length of
  263. the data decoded or \-1 on error.
