Method Nettle.BlockCipher16()->State()->wrap_key()

Method wrap_key

string(8bit) wrap_key(string(8bit) key, bool|void method)

Description

The AES Key Wrapping algorithms from RFC 3394 and RFC 5649.

Parameter key

Key to wrap.

Parameter method

Method to use to wrap the key. One of:

0	RFC 3394 This algorithm is intended to be used to encode encryption keys which are a multiple of 8 bytes and at least 16 bytes long. This is the default method.
1	RFC 5649 This algorithm is similar to the above, but supports keys of any length and has an intentionally not compatible result.

Returns

Returns the wrapped key.

Note

Assumes that the State object has been initialized to encryption mode (ie that set_encrypt_key() has been called).

Note

RFC 6931 section 2.6.3 indicates that the RFC 3394 algorithm is also appropriate for Camellia.
