API PARAMETERS
SPI PARAMETERS
DESCRIPTIONThis function finalizes the staged encryption process by returning any remaining cipher text not returned in the previous staged encryption call. The cipher text is returned in a single buffer. NOTES FOR APIThe output is returned to the caller either by filling the caller-specified buffer or by using the application's declared memory allocation functions to allocate buffer space. To specify a specific, preallocated output buffer, the caller must provide an array of one or more CSSM_DATA structures, each containing a Length field value greater than zero and a non-NULL data pointer field value. To specify automatic output buffer allocation by the CSP, the caller must provide an array of one or more CSSM_DATA structures, each containing a Length field value equal to zero and a NULL data pointer field value. The application is always responsible for deallocating the memory when it is no longer needed. NOTES FOR SPIThe output is returned to the caller as specified in Buffer Management for Cryptographic Services. RETURN VALUEA CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular error condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other values represent an error condition. ERRORSErrors are described in the CDSA Technical Standard.
