aes_encrypt(9)

💅 aes_encrypt(9) — live from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to aes_encrypt(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the little function that encrypts one single AES block, and honestly it's giving “small but iconic.” 🎀

💖 NAME

aes_encrypt — Encrypt a single AES block 💫

✨ SYNOPSIS

void aes_encrypt (aes_encrypt_arg key , u8 out[static AES_BLOCK_SIZE] ,
const u8 in[static AES_BLOCK_SIZE] );

🌸 ARGUMENTS

• key — The AES key, as a pointer to either an encryption-only key (struct aes_enckey) or a full, bidirectional key (struct aes_key). 🗝️
• out — Buffer to store the ciphertext block. Put the encrypted glow-up in here, bestie. 💅
• in — Buffer containing the plaintext block. This is the original vibe before the crypto magic. 🦋

🫶 CONTEXT

Any context. Literally any context — no cap. 🌈
