buffer_size()

size_t Botan::RC4::buffer_size ( ) const

overridevirtual

Return the optimium buffer size to use with this cipher

Most stream ciphers internally produce blocks of bytes. This function returns that block size. Aligning buffer sizes to a multiple of this size may improve performance by reducing internal buffering overhead.

Note the return value of this function may change for any particular algorithm due to changes in the implementation from release to release, or changes in the runtime environment (such as CPUID indicating availability of an optimized implementation). It is not intrinsic to the algorithm; it is just a suggestion for gaining best performance.

Implements Botan::StreamCipher.

Set the offset and the state used later to generate the keystream

Sets the state of the stream cipher and keystream according to the passed offset, exactly as if offset bytes had first been encrypted. The key and (if required) the IV have to be set before this can be called.

Note

Not all ciphers support seeking; such objects will throw Not_Implemented in this case.

Load IV into the stream cipher state. This should happen after the key is set (set_key()) and before any operation (encrypt(), decrypt() or seek()) is called.
