Missing Implementation of `botan_cipher_is_authenticated()` in ffi.h.
aahajj opened this issue · comments
Hello everyone,
I've encountered an issue regarding the int botan_cipher_is_authenticated(botan_cipher_t cipher) function within Botan's Symmetric Ciphers documentation for ffi.h (C Bindings). Despite referencing the documentation, I cannot find an implementation of this function.
Just for the record, I'm using the latest stable release:
./botan version
3.2.0Could someone please clarify whether this function is indeed missing or if there's an alternative method to achieve the same functionality? Thank you.
Yes, I can confirm that. Must be an oversight. Will look into that, thanks for reporting.
As a workaround for the time being, please use botan_cipher_get_tag_length(). If that's greater than 0, your cipher is an AEAD and, thus, authenticated. The missing predicate function would just be a convenience wrapper for the same check, anyway.
Alright, thank you! :)
