		mbedtls_svc_key_id_t	`key,`
		psa_algorithm_t	`alg`
	)

Set the key for a multipart symmetric encryption operation.

The sequence of operations to encrypt a message with a symmetric cipher is as follows:

Allocate an operation object which will be passed to all the functions listed here.
Initialize the operation object with one of the methods described in the documentation for #psa_cipher_operation_t, e.g. PSA_CIPHER_OPERATION_INIT .
Call psa_cipher_encrypt_setup() to specify the algorithm and key.
Call either psa_cipher_generate_iv() or psa_cipher_set_iv() to generate or set the IV (initialization vector). You should use psa_cipher_generate_iv() unless the protocol you are implementing requires a specific IV value.
Call psa_cipher_update() zero, one or more times, passing a fragment of the message each time.
Call psa_cipher_finish() .

If an error occurs at any step after a call to psa_cipher_encrypt_setup() , the operation will need to be reset by a call to psa_cipher_abort() . The application may call psa_cipher_abort() at any time after the operation has been initialized.

After a successful call to psa_cipher_encrypt_setup() , the application must eventually terminate the operation. The following events terminate an operation:

A successful call to psa_cipher_finish() .
A call to psa_cipher_abort() .

Parameters

[in,out]	`operation`	The operation object to set up. It must have been initialized as per the documentation for #psa_cipher_operation_t and not yet in use.
	`key`	Identifier of the key to use for the operation. It must remain valid until the operation terminates. It must allow the usage PSA_KEY_USAGE_ENCRYPT .
	`alg`	The cipher algorithm to compute ( `PSA_ALG_XXX` value such that PSA_ALG_IS_CIPHER ( `alg` ) is true).

Return values

`PSA_SUCCESS`	Success.
`PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE`
`PSA_ERROR_NOT_PERMITTED`
`PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT`	`key` is not compatible with `alg` .

`PSA_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE`
`PSA_ERROR_HARDWARE_FAILURE`
`PSA_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED`
`PSA_ERROR_STORAGE_FAILURE`
`PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE`	The operation state is not valid (it must be inactive), or the library has not been previously initialized by psa_crypto_init() . It is implementation-dependent whether a failure to initialize results in this error code.

◆ psa_cipher_decrypt_setup()

psa_status_t psa_cipher_decrypt_setup	(	psa_cipher_operation_t *	`operation,`
		mbedtls_svc_key_id_t	`key,`
		psa_algorithm_t	`alg`
	)

Set the key for a multipart symmetric decryption operation.

The sequence of operations to decrypt a message with a symmetric cipher is as follows:

Allocate an operation object which will be passed to all the functions listed here.
Initialize the operation object with one of the methods described in the documentation for #psa_cipher_operation_t, e.g. PSA_CIPHER_OPERATION_INIT .
Call psa_cipher_decrypt_setup() to specify the algorithm and key.
Call psa_cipher_set_iv() with the IV (initialization vector) for the decryption. If the IV is prepended to the ciphertext, you can call psa_cipher_update() on a buffer containing the IV followed by the beginning of the message.
Call psa_cipher_update() zero, one or more times, passing a fragment of the message each time.
Call psa_cipher_finish() .

If an error occurs at any step after a call to psa_cipher_decrypt_setup() , the operation will need to be reset by a call to psa_cipher_abort() . The application may call psa_cipher_abort() at any time after the operation has been initialized.

Call either psa_cipher_encrypt_setup() or psa_cipher_decrypt_setup() . The choice of setup function determines whether this function encrypts or decrypts its input.
If the algorithm requires an IV, call psa_cipher_generate_iv() (recommended when encrypting) or psa_cipher_set_iv() .

If this function returns an error status, the operation enters an error state and must be aborted by calling psa_cipher_abort() .

Parameters

[in]	`input`	Buffer containing the message fragment to encrypt or decrypt.
	`input_length`	Size of the `input` buffer in bytes.

		uint8_t *	`output,`
		size_t	`output_size,`
		size_t *	`output_length`
	)

Finish encrypting or decrypting a message in a cipher operation.

The application must call psa_cipher_encrypt_setup() or psa_cipher_decrypt_setup() before calling this function. The choice of setup function determines whether this function encrypts or decrypts its input.

This function finishes the encryption or decryption of the message formed by concatenating the inputs passed to preceding calls to psa_cipher_update() .

When this function returns successfully, the operation becomes inactive. If this function returns an error status, the operation enters an error state and must be aborted by calling psa_cipher_abort() .

Parameters

[in,out]	`operation`	Active cipher operation.
[out]	`output`	Buffer where the output is to be written.
	`output_size`	Size of the `output` buffer in bytes.
[out]	`output_length`	On success, the number of bytes that make up the returned output.

Return values

`PSA_SUCCESS`	Success.
`PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT`	The total input size passed to this operation is not valid for this particular algorithm. For example, the algorithm is a based on block cipher and requires a whole number of blocks, but the total input size is not a multiple of the block size.

`PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL`	The size of the `output` buffer is too small.
`PSA_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY`
`PSA_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE`
`PSA_ERROR_HARDWARE_FAILURE`

◆ psa_cipher_abort()

psa_status_t psa_cipher_abort ( psa_cipher_operation_t * operation )

Abort a cipher operation.

Aborting an operation frees all associated resources except for the operation structure itself. Once aborted, the operation object can be reused for another operation by calling psa_cipher_encrypt_setup() or psa_cipher_decrypt_setup() again.

You may call this function any time after the operation object has been initialized as described in #psa_cipher_operation_t.

In particular, calling psa_cipher_abort() after the operation has been terminated by a call to psa_cipher_abort() or psa_cipher_finish() is safe and has no effect.

Parameters

[in,out] operation Initialized cipher operation.

Return values

`PSA_SUCCESS`
`PSA_ERROR_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE`
`PSA_ERROR_HARDWARE_FAILURE`
`PSA_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED`
`PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE`	The library has not been previously initialized by psa_crypto_init() . It is implementation-dependent whether a failure to initialize results in this error code.
