NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       DecryptData,  CSSM_DecryptData,  CSP_DecryptData - Decrypt
       buffer data (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       # include <cdsa/cssm.h>

       API: CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_DecryptData  (CSSM_CC_HANDLE
       CCHandle,  const  CSSM_DATA *CipherBufs, uint32 CipherBufCount,
  CSSM_DATA_PTR  ClearBufs,  uint32   ClearBufCount,
       uint32   *bytesDecrypted,   CSSM_DATA_PTR   RemData)  SPI:

       CSPHandle,  CSSM_CC_HANDLE  CCHandle,  const  CSSM_CONTEXT
       *Context, const CSSM_DATA *CipherBufs,  uint32  CipherBufCount,
   CSSM_DATA_PTR  ClearBufs,  uint32  ClearBufCount,
       uint32 *bytesDecrypted, CSSM_DATA_PTR RemData, CSSM_PRIVILEGE
 Privilege)

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       Common Security Services Manager library (libcssm.so)

API PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  handle  that  describes  the  context of this cryptographic
 operation used to link to the CSP-managed information.
   A pointer to a vector of CSSM_DATA structures that
       contain the data to be decrypted.  The number  of  CipherBufs.
   A pointer to a vector of CSSM_DATA structures that
       contain the decrypted data resulting from  the  decryption
       operation.   The number of ClearBufs.  A pointer to uint32
       for the size of the decrypted data in bytes.  A pointer to
       the  CSSM_DATA  structure  for the remaining plain text if
       there is not enough buffer space available in  the  output
       data structures.

SPI PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The handle that describes the add-in cryptographic service
       provider module used to perform calls to CSSM for the memory
  functions managed by CSSM.  A pointer to CSSM_CONTEXT
       structure that describes the attributes with this context.
       The  export  privilege  to  be  applied during the cryptographic
 operation. This parameter is forwarded to the  CSP
       after CSSM verifies the caller and service provider privilege
 set includes the specified PRIVILEGE.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       This function decrypts all data contained in  the  set  of
       input  buffers  using  information  in  the  context.  The
       CSSM_QuerySize() (CSSM API), or CSP_QuerySize() (CSP SPI),
       function  can  be  used to estimate the output buffer size
       required. The minimum number of buffers required  to  contain
  the  resulting plain text is produced as output.  If
       the plain text result does not fit within the set of  output
  buffers,  the remaining plain text is returned in the
       single output buffer RemData.

       The CSP can require that the cryptographic context include
       access  credentials  for  authentication and authorization
       checks when using a private key or a secret key.



NOTES FOR API    [Toc]    [Back]

       The output is returned to the caller either by filling the
       caller-specified  buffer  or  by  using  the application's
       declared memory allocation functions  to  allocate  buffer
       space. To specify a specific, pre-allocated output buffer,
       the caller must provide an array of one or more  CSSM_DATA
       structures,  each  containing a Length field value greater
       than zero and a non-NULL  data  pointer  field  value.  To
       specify automatic output buffer allocation by the CSP, the
       caller must provide an array  of  one  or  more  CSSM_DATA
       structures,  each containing a Length field value equal to
       zero and a NULL data pointer field value. The  application
       is  always responsible for deallocating the memory when it
       is no longer needed. In-place decryption can  be  done  by
       supplying the same input and output buffers.

NOTES FOR SPI    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  output  is  returned  to  the  caller as specified in
       Buffer Management for Cryptographic Services.

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

       A CSSM_RETURN value indicating  success  or  specifying  a
       particular  error  condition.  The value CSSM_OK indicates
       success. All other values represent an error condition.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Errors are described in the CDSA technical standard.   See
       CDSA_intro(3).     CSSMERR_CSP_BLOCK_SIZE_MISMATCH    CSSMERR_CSP_OUTPUT_LENGTH_ERROR
