MGF

Generates a pseudorandom mask of the specified length using a selected hash algorithm.

Syntax

IppStatus ippsMGF(const Ipp8u *pSeed, int seedLen, Ipp8u* pMask, int maskLen, IppHashAlgId hashAlg);

Parameters

pSeed

Pointer to the input octet string.

seedLen

Length of the input string.

pMask

Pointer to the output pseodorandom mask.

maskLen

Desired length of the output.

hashAlg

Identifier of the hash algorithm.

Description

The function generates a pseudorandom mask of the specified length using the hash algorithm defined by algID. The hashAlg parameter can take one of the values listed in table Supported Hash Algorithms.

Return Values

ippStsNoErr

Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or warning.

ippStsNullPtrErr

Indicates an error condition if pMask pointer is NULL.

ippStsLengthErr

Indicates an error condition if any of the specified lengths is negative or zero.

ippStsNotSupportedModeErr

Indicates an error condition if the hashAlg parameter does not match any value of IppHashAlg listed in table Supported Hash Algorithms.
