Public Functions Documentation

function ~Encryption

inline virtual ~Encryption()

Virtual destructor to prevent memory leakage.

function EncryptData

virtual std::vector< std::uint8_t > EncryptData(
    std::vector< std::uint8_t > data,
    std::vector< std::uint8_t > key_data
) =0

Interface function to Encrypt data.

Parameters:

• data The data do be encrypted
• key_data The possible key to be used to encrypt

Return: Encrypted data vector

Reimplemented by: AESEncryption::EncryptData, ECDHEncryption::EncryptData

function DecryptData

virtual std::vector< std::uint8_t > DecryptData(
    std::vector< std::uint8_t > data,
    std::vector< std::uint8_t > key_data
) =0

Interface function to Decrypt data.

Parameters:

• data The data to be decrypted
• key_data The possible key to be used to decrypt

Return: Decrypted data vector

Reimplemented by: AESEncryption::DecryptData, ECDHEncryption::DecryptData

function CheckEqual

virtual bool CheckEqual(
    const Encryption & lhs,
    const Encryption & rhs
) const =0

Interface function to check if two Encryption instances are equal.

Parameters:

• lhs First instance of Encryption
• rhs Second instance of Encryption

Return: true if equal, false otherwise

Reimplemented by: AESEncryption::CheckEqual, ECDHEncryption::CheckEqual

function operator==

inline bool operator==(
    const Encryption & other
) const

Overloads equality operator to CheckEqual.

Parameters:

• other The instance to be compared

Return: true if equal, false otherwise
