# crypto Cryptographic library ## Functions ### b64_encode Encodes an `unsigned char *` into base64. User is responsible for freeing the `char *` that is returned. ```c char *b64_encode(const unsigned char *s, size_t sz); ``` ### b64_decode Decodes a base64 encoded set of bytes into an `unsigned char *`. User is responsible for freeing the `unsigned char *` that is returned. `decode_sz` is an optional argument in case you need to know the size of the decoded data, otherwise you can just pass `NULL`. ```c unsigned char *b64_decode(const char *s, size_t sz, size_t *decode_sz); ``` ### hex_decode Decodes a string of characters representing hexadecimal bytes into an array of `unsigned char`. For example, converts `"DEADBEEF"` into `[0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF]`. ```c unsigned char *hex_decode(const char *orig, size_t *sz); // Example s = hex_decode("DEADBEEF", &s_sz); unsigned char h[4] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF }; for (size_t i = 0; i < 4; ++i) { assert(s[i] == h[i]); } free(s); ```
