# FBB::CryptBuf(3bobcat)

## Base class for DecryptBuf and EncryptBuf
(libbobcat-dev_6.06.02)

## 2005-2024

## NAME

FBB::CryptBuf - std::streambuf derived base class for DecryptBuf and EncryptBuf

## SYNOPSIS

#include <bobcat/cryptbuf>
Linking option: -lbobcat -lcrypto

## DESCRIPTION

This class is deprecated and will be removed from Bobcat in a future release. It inherits from FBB::EoiBuf. Classes using CryptBuf may use EoiBuf instead. CryptBuf's member EVP_CIPHER const *md() can be implemented as follows:

        #include <openssl/evp.h>

        EVP_CIPHER const *md(char const *cipherName)
        {
            return EVP_CIPHER_fetch(0, cipherName, 0);
        }

## NAMESPACE

FBB
All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.

## INHERITS FROM

EoiBuf (and thus from: std::streambuf)

## PROTECTED CONSTRUCTOR

Analogously to std::streambuf only a protected constructor is available.

- CryptBuf(char const *type, size_t bufSize):
  The type is a null-terminated byte string specifying the de/encryption method. E.g., aes-128-cbc. For an overview see the encryptbuf(3bobcat) man-page. The bufSize parameter defines the initial size of the internally used buffer (defined by EoiBuf).

Copy and move constructors (and assignment operators) are not available.

## PROTECTED MEMBER FUNCTION

All members of std:streambuf and EoiBuf are available, as FBB::CryptBuf inherits from these classes.

- EVP_CIPHER const *md() const:
  A pointer to the cipher information is returned.

## FILES

## BUGS

This class is deprecated and will be removed from Bobcat in a future release.
