Encrypts a string using the key generated by the setkey function. Format #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> void encrypt (char *block[64], int edflag;)
1 – Argument
block A character array of length 64 containing 0s and 1s. edflag An integer. If edflag is 0, the argument is encrypted; if nonzero, it is decrypted.
2 – Description
The encrypt function encrypts a string using the key generated by the setkey function. The first argument to encrypt is a character array of length 64 containing 0s and 1s. The argument array is modified in place to a similar array representing the bits of the argument after having been subjected to the DES algorithm using the key set by setkey. The second argument, edflag, determines whether the first argument is encrypted or decrypted: if edflag is 0, the first argument array is encrypted; if nonzero, it is decrypted. No value is returned. See also crypt and setkey.
3 – Return Value
pointer Pointer to the encrypted password.
