Detailed Description

this is a partial implementation of the generic_file interface to encrypt/decrypt data block by block.

This class is a pure virtual one, as several calls have to be defined by inherited classes

tronconneuse is either read_only or write_only, read_write is not allowed. The openning mode his mode is defined by encrupted_side's mode. In write_only no skip() is allowed, writing is sequential from the beginning of the file to the end (like writing to a pipe). In read_only all skip() functions are available.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

libdar::tronconneuse::tronconneuse ( user_interaction dialog,
U_32  block_size,
generic_file encrypted_side 
)

This is the constructor.

Parameters:
[in]dialogfor user interaction.
[in]block_sizeis the size of block encryption (the size of clear data encrypted toghether).
[in]encrypted_sidewhere encrypted data are read from or written to.
Note:
that encrypted_side is not owned and destroyed by tronconneuse, it must exist during all the life of the tronconneuse object, and is not destroyed by the tronconneuse's destructor

Member Function Documentation

virtual U_32 libdar::tronconneuse::clear_block_allocated_size_for ( U_32  clear_block_size) [protected, pure virtual]

it may be necessary by the inherited class have few more bytes allocated after the clear data given for encryption

Parameters:
[in]clear_block_sizeis the size in byte of the clear data that will be asked to encrypt.
Returns:
the requested allocated buffer size (at least the size of the clear data).
Note:
when giving clear buffer of data of size "clear_block_size" some inherited class may requested that a bit more of data must be allocated. this is to avoid copying data when the algorithm needs to add some data after the clear data before encryption.

Implemented in libdar::blowfish.

virtual U_32 libdar::tronconneuse::decrypt_data ( const infinint block_num,
const char *  crypt_buf,
const U_32  crypt_size,
char *  clear_buf,
U_32  clear_size 
) [protected, pure virtual]

this method is for decrypts data

Parameters:
[in]block_numblock number of the data to decrypt.
[in]crypt_bufpointer to the first byte of encrypted data.
[in]crypt_sizesize of encrypted data to decrypt.
[in,out]clear_bufpointer where to put clear data.
[in]clear_sizeallocated size of clear_buf.
Returns:
is the amount of data put in clear_buf (<= clear_size)

Implemented in libdar::blowfish.

virtual U_32 libdar::tronconneuse::encrypt_data ( const infinint block_num,
const char *  clear_buf,
const U_32  clear_size,
const U_32  clear_allocated,
char *  crypt_buf,
U_32  crypt_size 
) [protected, pure virtual]

this method encrypts the clear data given

Parameters:
block_numis the number of the block to which correspond the given data, This is an informational field for inherited classes.
[in]clear_bufpoints to the first byte of clear data to encrypt.
[in]clear_sizeis the length in byte of data to encrypt.
[in]clear_allocatedis the size of the allocated memory (modifiable bytes) in clear_buf.
[in,out]crypt_bufis the area where to put corresponding encrypted data.
[in]crypt_sizeis the allocated memory size for crypt_buf.
Returns:
is the amount of data put in crypt_buf (<= crypt_size).
Note:
it must respect that : returned value = encrypted_block_size_for(clear_size argument)

Implemented in libdar::blowfish.

virtual U_32 libdar::tronconneuse::encrypted_block_size_for ( U_32  clear_block_size) [protected, pure virtual]

defines the size necessary to encrypt a given amount of clear data

Parameters:
[in]clear_block_sizeis the size of the clear block to encrypt.
Returns:
the size of the memory to allocate to receive corresponding encrypted data.
Note:
this implies that encryption algorithm must always generate a fixed size encrypted block of data for a given fixed size block of data. However, the size of the encrypted block of data may differ from the size of the clear block of data

Implemented in libdar::blowfish.

void libdar::tronconneuse::write_end_of_file ( ) [inline]

in write_only mode indicate that end of file is reached

this call must be called in write mode to purge the internal cache before deleting the object (else some data may be lost) no further write call is allowed
