## Name

crypto_blkcipher_encrypt_iv — encrypt plaintext with dedicated IV

## Synopsis

`int crypto_blkcipher_encrypt_iv (` | struct blkcipher_desc * desc,
| struct scatterlist * dst,
| struct scatterlist * src,
| unsigned int nbytes`)`;

## Arguments

`desc`

  reference to the block cipher handle with meta data

`dst`

  scatter/gather list that is filled by the cipher operation with the ciphertext

`src`

  scatter/gather list that holds the plaintext

`nbytes`

  number of bytes of the plaintext to encrypt.

## Description

Encrypt plaintext data with the use of an IV that is solely used for this cipher operation. Any previously set IV is not used.

The blkcipher_desc data structure must be filled by the caller and can reside on the stack. The caller must fill desc as follows: desc.tfm is filled with the block cipher handle; desc.info is filled with the IV to be used for the current operation; desc.flags is filled with either CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP or 0.

## Return

0 if the cipher operation was successful; < 0 if an error occurred
