Dear all: I want to realize aes, so I trace enc_main in enc.c. But I find there are a lot call back functions such that I spend more time on tracing these call back functions than understanding aes algorithm.
I have studied the aes flow chart on the wiki, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard But I cannot find out where the connection between the password I input with the aes. suppose I type: openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -in test.txt -out test.enc enter aes-256-cbc encryption password: 123456 Verifying - enter aes-256-cbc encryption password:123456 How do we deal with "123456" before calling AES_cbc_encrypt? Is "123456" a part of key? appreciate your help in advance, miloody ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
