MGF1_rmf, MGF2_rmf

Generates a pseudorandom mask of the specified length using a selected hash lagorithm based on MGF1 or MGF2 specifications.

Syntax

IppStatus ippsMGF1_rmf(const Ipp8u* pSeed, int seedLen, Ipp8u* pMask, int maskLen, const IppsHashMethod* pMethod);

IppStatus ippsMGF2_rmf(const Ipp8u* pSeed, int seedLen, Ipp8u* pMask, int maskLen, const IppsHashMethod* pMethod);

Parameters

pSeed

Pointer to the input octet string.

seedLen

Length of the input string in bytes.

pMask

Pointer to the output pseodorandom mask.

maskLen

Desired length of the output.

pMethod

Pointer to the hash method.

Description

The function generates a pseudorandom mask of the specified length using the hash algorithm defined by pMethod, as defined in the MGF1 and MGF2 specifications. To get a value for the pMethod parameter, call one of the HashMethod functions.

Return Values

ippStsNoErr

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

ippStsNullPtrErr

Indicates an error condition if any of the specified pointers is NULL
