This function returns the salt of an ecEncCtx object. This function should only be called when the ecEncCtx's state is ecSRV_INIT or ecCLI_INIT.
Parameters:
- ctx pointer to the ecEncCtx object from which to get the salt
See:
Return:
- Success On success, returns the ecEncCtx salt
- NULL Returned if the ecEncCtx object is NULL, or the ecEncCtx's state is not ecSRV_INIT or ecCLI_INIT. In the latter two cases, this function also sets the ecEncCtx's state to ecSRV_BAD_STATE or ecCLI_BAD_STATE, respectively
Example
ecEncCtx* ctx;
WC_RNG rng;
const byte* salt;
wc_InitRng(&rng);
ctx = wc_ecc_ctx_new(REQ_RESP_CLIENT, &rng);
salt = wc_ecc_ctx_get_own_salt(&ctx);

This function sets the peer salt of an ecEncCtx object.
Parameters:
- ctx pointer to the ecEncCtx for which to set the salt

word32 msgSz,
byte * out,
word32 * outSz,
ecEncCtx * ctx
)
This function encrypts the given input message from msg to out. This function takes an optional ctx object as parameter. When supplied, encryption proceeds based on the ecEncCtx's encAlgo, kdfAlgo, and macAlgo. If ctx is not supplied, processing completes with the default algorithms, ecAES_128_CBC, ecHKDF_SHA256 and ecHMAC_SHA256. This function requires that the messages are padded according to the encryption type specified by ctx.
Parameters:
- privKey pointer to the ecc_key object containing the private key to use for encryption
- pubKey pointer to the ecc_key object containing the public key of the peer with whom one wishes to communicate
- msg pointer to the buffer holding the message to encrypt
- msgSz size of the buffer to encrypt
- out pointer to the buffer in which to store the encrypted ciphertext
- outSz pointer to a word32 object containing the available size in the out buffer. Upon successfully encrypting the message, holds the number of bytes written to the output buffer
- ctx Optional: pointer to an ecEncCtx object specifying different encryption algorithms to use
See:
Return:
- 0 Returned upon successfully encrypting the input message
- BAD_FUNC_ARG Returned if privKey, pubKey, msg, msgSz, out, or outSz are NULL, or the ctx object specifies an unsupported encryption type
- BAD_ENC_STATE_E Returned if the ctx object given is in a state that is not appropriate for encryption
- BUFFER_E Returned if the supplied output buffer is too small to store the encrypted ciphertext
- MEMORY_E Returned if there is an error allocating memory for the shared secret key
Example
byte msg[] = { initialize with msg to encrypt. Ensure padded to block size };
byte out[sizeof(msg)];
word32 outSz = sizeof(out);
int ret;
ecc_key cli, serv;
