CryptoSys API Library Manual

DES_BytesMode

Encrypts or decrypts an array of Bytes in one step using a specified mode.

VB6/VBA Syntax

Public Declare Function DES_BytesMode Lib "diCryptoSys.dll" (ByRef abOutput As Byte, ByRef abData As Byte, ByVal nDataLen As Long, ByRef abKey As Byte, ByVal bEncrypt As Boolean, ByVal strMode As String, ByRef abInitV As Byte) As Long

nRet = DES_BytesMode(abOutput(0), abData(0), nDataLen, abKey(0), bEncrypt, strMode, abInitV(0))

Parameters

abOutput
[out] Byte array of sufficient length to receive the output.
abData
[in] Byte array containing the input data.
nDataLen
[in] Long equal to length of the input data in bytes.
abKey
[in] Byte array containing the key.
bEncrypt
[in] Boolean direction flag: set as True to encrypt or False to decrypt.
strMode
[in] String specifying the confidentiality mode:
"ECB" for Electronic Codebook mode,
"CBC" for Cipher Block Chaining mode,
"CFB" for 64-bit Cipher Feedback mode,
"OFB" for Output Feedback mode, or
"CTR" for Counter mode.
abInitV
[in] Byte containing the initialization vector (IV), or zero (0) for ECB mode.

C/C++ Syntax

long _stdcall DES_BytesMode(unsigned char *output, const unsigned char *input, long nbytes, const unsigned char *key, int bEncrypt, const char *lpszMode, const unsigned char *iv);

Returns (VB6/C)

Long: If successful, the return value is 0; otherwise it returns a non-zero error code.

.NET Equivalent

Des.Encrypt Method (Byte[], Byte[], Mode, Byte[])
Des.Decrypt Method (Byte[], Byte[], Mode, Byte[])

Remarks

The input data abData must be an exact multiple of 8 bytes long. If not, an error code will be returned. The key abKey must be exactly 8 bytes long. The output array abOutput must be at least nDataLen bytes long. abOutput and abData may be the same.

VB6/VBA users: Note the '(0)' after the byte array variables.

Example

    Dim nRet As Long
    Dim strOutput As String
    Dim strInput As String
    Dim strKey As String
    Dim strHexIV As String
    Dim sCorrect As String
    Dim nDataLen As Long
    Dim abKey() As Byte
    Dim abOutput() As Byte
    Dim abData() As Byte
    Dim abInitV() As Byte
    
    strKey = "0123456789abcdef"
    strHexIV = "1234567890abcdef"
    strInput = "Now is the time for all "
    sCorrect = "e5c7cdde872bf27c43e934008c389c0f683788499a7c05f6"
    
    ' Convert to byte arrays and compute lengths
    abKey = cnvBytesFromHexStr(strKey)
    abInitV = cnvBytesFromHexStr(strHexIV)
    abData = StrConv(strInput, vbFromUnicode)
    nDataLen = Len(strInput)
    
    ' Dimension array for output
    ReDim abOutput(nDataLen - 1)
    
    Debug.Print "KY="; cnvHexStrFromBytes(abKey)
    Debug.Print "IV="; cnvHexStrFromBytes(abInitV)
    Debug.Print "PT="; cnvHexStrFromBytes(abData)
    
    ' Encrypt in one-off process
    nRet = DES_BytesMode(abOutput(0), abData(0), nDataLen, _
        abKey(0), True, "CBC", abInitV(0))
    Debug.Print "CT="; cnvHexStrFromBytes(abOutput), nRet
    Debug.Print "OK="; sCorrect
    Debug.Assert (sCorrect = cnvHexStrFromBytes(abOutput))
    
    ' Now decrypt back
    nRet = DES_BytesMode(abData(0), abOutput(0), nDataLen, _
        abKey(0), DECRYPT, "CBC", abInitV(0))
    strOutput = StrConv(abData(), vbUnicode)
    Debug.Print "P'="; "["; strOutput; "]"
    Debug.Assert (strOutput = strInput)

This should result in output as follows:

KY=0123456789ABCDEF
IV=1234567890ABCDEF
PT=4E6F77206973207468652074696D6520666F7220616C6C20
CT=E5C7CDDE872BF27C43E934008C389C0F683788499A7C05F6      0 
OK=e5c7cdde872bf27c43e934008c389c0f683788499a7c05f6
P'=[Now is the time for all ]
