int
DbEnv::set_encrypt(const char *passwd, u_int32_t flags);

int
DbEnv::get_encrypt_flags(u_int32_t *flagsp);

Description: DbEnv::set_encrypt

Set the password used by the Berkeley DB library to perform encryption and decryption.

The DbEnv::set_encrypt method configures a database environment, not only operations performed using the specified DbEnv handle.

The DbEnv::set_encrypt method may not be called after the DbEnv::open method is called. If the database environment already exists when DbEnv::open is called, the information specified to DbEnv::set_encrypt must be consistent with the existing environment or an error will be returned.

The DbEnv::set_encrypt method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.

Parameters

flags

The flags parameter must be set to 0 or the following value:

DB_ENCRYPT_AES

Use the Rijndael/AES (also known as the Advanced Encryption Standard and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 197) algorithm for encryption or decryption.

passwd

The passwd parameter is the password used to perform encryption and decryption.

Errors

The DbEnv::set_encrypt method may fail and throw DbException, encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of the following non-zero errors:

EINVAL

If the method was called after DbEnv::open was called; or if an invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

EOPNOTSUPP

Cryptography is not available in this Berkeley DB release.

Description: DbEnv::get_encrypt_flags

The DbEnv::get_encrypt_flags method returns the encryption flags.

The DbEnv::get_encrypt_flags method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

The DbEnv::get_encrypt_flags method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.

Parameters

flagsp

The DbEnv::get_encrypt_flags method returns the encryption flags in flagsp.
