## Detailed Description

Qore's cryptography support is provided by the OpenSSL library. Each of the encryption and decryption functions in this section accept an optional initialization vector, which is data used as initial input for the first block in chained encryption algorithms. Subsequent blocks take input from the last block encrypted/decrypted. If an initialization vector is not supplied, a default value of 8 zero bytes will be used (see Qore::DefaultIV).

See also:

- Digest (Hash) Functions
- HMAC Functions
- Crytographic Contants

Some functions require fixed-length keys, and some allow the use of variable-length keys. For functions requiring fixed-length keys any excess bytes are ignored. The same applies to initialization vector arguments.

The following is an example of a function that uses `/dev/random` on UNIX to read in a random key for use with encryption functions:

# read a key from /dev/random and return the key
binary sub get_key(int $size) {
# throw an exception if an invalid key size was passed
if (!$size || $size < 0)
throw "GET-KEY-ERROR", sprintf("invalid size = %n", $size);
my File $f();
# File::open2() will throw an exception if /dev/random cannot be opened for reading
$f.open2("/dev/random");
return $f.readBinary($size);
}

binary Qore::rc4_decrypt | ( | binary | data,
|  | data | key,
|  | data | iv = `Qore::DefaultIV`
| ) |  |

Decrypts data using the Alleged RC4 cipher algorithm, which should be compatible with RSA's RC4(tm) algorithm using a variable-length key and an optional 8-byte initialization vector.

Code Flags:
  RET_VALUE_ONLY

Parameters

  data | the data to be decrypted
  key | a variable-width decryption key
  iv | the initialization vector must be at least 8 bytes long if present

Returns
  a binary object of the decrypted data

Example:
  my binary $bin = rc4_decrypt($data, $key);

Exceptions

  RC4-DECRYPT-PARAM-ERROR | invalid initialization vector (less than 8 bytes)
  DECRYPT-ERROR | processing error decrypting the data (for example invalid data)

string Qore::rc4_decrypt_to_string | ( | binary | data,
|  | data | key,
|  | data | iv = `Qore::DefaultIV`,
|  | *string | encoding
| ) |  |

Decrypts data using the Alleged RC4 cipher algorithm, which should be compatible with RSA's RC4(tm) algorithm using a variable-length key and an optional 8-byte initialization vector.

Code Flags:
  RET_VALUE_ONLY

Parameters

  data | the data to be decrypted
  key | a variable-width decryption key
  iv | the initialization vector must be at least 8 bytes long if present
  encoding | the character encoding tag for the string return value; if not present, the default character encoding is assumed

Returns
  a string of the decrypted data

Example:
  my string $str = rc4_decrypt_to_string($encrypted_data, $key, NOTHING, "iso-8859-1");

Exceptions

  RC4-DECRYPT-PARAM-ERROR | invalid initialization vector (less than 8 bytes)
  DECRYPT-ERROR | processing error decrypting the data (for example invalid data)

Since
  Qore 0.8.4 added the encoding parameter to specify the output encoding of the string
