Function Documentation

Base16_Decode()

int Base16_Decode	(	const byte *	in,
		word32	inLen,
		byte *	out,
		word32 *	outLen
	)

This function decodes the given Base16 encoded input, in, and stores the result in the output buffer out. It also sets the size written to the output buffer in the variable outLen.

Returns

0 Returned upon successfully decoding the Base16 encoded input

BAD_FUNC_ARG Returned if the output buffer is too small to store the decoded input or if the input length is not a multiple of two

ASN_INPUT_E Returned if a character in the input buffer falls outside of the Base16 range ([0-9A-F])

Parameters

in	pointer to the input buffer to decode
inLen	length of the input buffer to decode
out	pointer to the output buffer in which to store the decoded message
outLen	pointer to the length of the output buffer. Updated with the bytes written at the end of the function call

Example

byte encoded[] = { // initialize text to decode };
byte decoded[sizeof(encoded)];
int outLen = sizeof(decoded);
 
if( Base16_Decode(encoded,sizeof(encoded), decoded, &outLen) != 0 ) {
    // error decoding input buffer
}

Base16_Encode()

int Base16_Encode	(	const byte *	in,
		word32	inLen,
		byte *	out,
		word32 *	outLen
	)

Encode input to base16 output.

Returns

0 Success

BAD_FUNC_ARG Returns if in, out, or outLen is null or if outLen is less than 2 times inLen plus 1.

Parameters

in	Pointer to input buffer to be encoded.
inLen	Length of input buffer.
out	Pointer to output buffer.
outLen	Length of output buffer. Is set to len of encoded output.

Example

byte in[] = { // Contents of something to be encoded };
byte out[NECESSARY_OUTPUT_SIZE];
word32 outSz = sizeof(out);
 
if(Base16_Encode(in, sizeof(in), out, &outSz) != 0)
{
    // Handle encode error

Base64_Decode()

int Base64_Decode	(	const byte *	in,
		word32	inLen,
		byte *	out,
		word32 *	outLen
	)

This function decodes the given Base64 encoded input, in, and stores the result in the output buffer out. It also sets the size written to the output buffer in the variable outLen.

Returns

0 Returned upon successfully decoding the Base64 encoded input

BAD_FUNC_ARG Returned if the output buffer is too small to store the decoded input

ASN_INPUT_E Returned if a character in the input buffer falls outside of the Base64 range ([A-Za-z0-9+/=]) or if there is an invalid line ending in the Base64 encoded input

Parameters

in	pointer to the input buffer to decode
inLen	length of the input buffer to decode
out	pointer to the output buffer in which to store the decoded message
outLen	pointer to the length of the output buffer. Updated with the bytes written at the end of the function call

Example

byte encoded[] = { // initialize text to decode };
byte decoded[sizeof(encoded)];
// requires at least (sizeof(encoded) * 3 + 3) / 4 room
 
int outLen = sizeof(decoded);
 
if( Base64_Decode(encoded,sizeof(encoded), decoded, &outLen) != 0 ) {
    // error decoding input buffer
}

Base64_Encode()

int Base64_Encode	(	const byte *	in,
		word32	inLen,
		byte *	out,
		word32 *	outLen
	)

This function encodes the given input, in, and stores the Base64 encoded result in the output buffer out. It writes the data with the traditional ‘
’ line endings, instead of escaped %0A line endings. Upon successfully completing, this function also sets outLen to the number of bytes written to the output buffer.

Returns

0 Returned upon successfully decoding the Base64 encoded input

BAD_FUNC_ARG Returned if the output buffer is too small to store the encoded input

BUFFER_E Returned if the output buffer runs out of room while encoding

Parameters

in	pointer to the input buffer to encode
inLen	length of the input buffer to encode
out	pointer to the output buffer in which to store the encoded message
outLen	pointer to the length of the output buffer in which to store the encoded message

Example

byte plain[] = { // initialize text to encode };
byte encoded[MAX_BUFFER_SIZE];
 
int outLen = sizeof(encoded);
 
if( Base64_Encode(plain, sizeof(plain), encoded, &outLen) != 0 ) {
    // error encoding input buffer
}

		word32 *	outLen
	)

This function encodes the given input, in, and stores the Base64 encoded result in the output buffer out. It writes the data with no new lines. Upon successfully completing, this function also sets outLen to the number of bytes written to the output buffer.

Returns

0 Returned upon successfully decoding the Base64 encoded input

BAD_FUNC_ARG Returned if the output buffer is too small to store the encoded input

BUFFER_E Returned if the output buffer runs out of room while encoding

ASN_INPUT_E Returned if there is an error processing the decode on the input message

Parameters

in	pointer to the input buffer to encode
inLen	length of the input buffer to encode
out	pointer to the output buffer in which to store the encoded message
outLen	pointer to the length of the output buffer in which to store the encoded message

Example

byte plain[] = { // initialize text to encode };
byte encoded[MAX_BUFFER_SIZE];
int outLen = sizeof(encoded);
if( Base64_Encode_NoNl(plain, sizeof(plain), encoded, &outLen) != 0 ) {
    // error encoding input buffer
