SHA256Pack, SHA256Unpack

Packs/unpacks the IppsSHA256State context into/from a user-defined buffer.

Syntax

IppStatus ippsSHA256Pack (const IppsSHA256State* pCtx, Ipp8u* pBuffer);

IppStatus ippsSHA256Unpack (const Ipp8u* pBuffer, IppsSHA256State* pCtx);

Include Files

ippcp.h

Parameters

pCtx

Pointer to the IppsSHA256State context.

pBuffer

Pointer to the user-defined buffer.

Description

The SHA256Pack function transforms the *pCtx context to a position-independent form and stores it in the *pBuffer buffer. The SHA256Unpack function performs the inverse operation, that is, transforms the contents of the *pBuffer buffer into a normal IppsSHA256State context. The SHA256Pack and SHA256Unpack functions enable replacing the position-dependent IppsSHA256State context in the memory.

Call the SHA256GetSize function prior to SHA256Pack/SHA256Unpack to determine the size of the buffer.

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.
