gnutls_hpke_seal(3)               gnutls              gnutls_hpke_seal(3)

NAME         top

       gnutls_hpke_seal - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/hpke.h>

       int gnutls_hpke_seal(gnutls_hpke_context_t ctx, const
       gnutls_datum_t * aad, const gnutls_datum_t * plaintext,
       gnutls_datum_t * ciphertext);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_hpke_context_t ctx
                   The HPKE context to use for sealing.

       const gnutls_datum_t * aad
                   The associated data (AAD) to be authenticated but not
                   encrypted.

       const gnutls_datum_t * plaintext
                   The plaintext data to be encrypted and authenticated.

       gnutls_datum_t * ciphertext
                   A pointer to a gnutls_datum_t structure where the
                   resulting ciphertext will be stored.

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function performs the sealing operation of HPKE. It encrypts
       the plaintext and computes an authentication tag using the AEAD
       algorithm specified in the HPKE context. The resulting ciphertext
       includes both the encrypted plaintext and the authentication tag.

       This function can be used multiple times with the same HPKE
       context, but the encapsulation function (gnutls_hpke_encap()) must
       be called once before the first call to this function to set up
       the necessary keys and nonces in the context. Each call to this
       function will increment the sequence number in the context, which
       is used to derive unique nonces for each encryption operation.

       The function will allocate memory for the  ciphertext , and the
       caller is responsible for freeing this memory using gnutls_free()
       when it is no longer needed.

RETURNS         top

       0 on success, or a negative error code on failure
