SYNOPSIS¶
bool mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt (
mongoc_client_encryption_t *client_encryption,
const bson_value_t *value,
mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_opts_t *opts,
bson_value_t *ciphertext,
bson_error_t *error);
Performs explicit encryption.
ciphertext is always initialized (even on failure). Caller must call bson_value_destroy() <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_value_destroy.html> to free.
To insert or query with an "Indexed" or "Range" encrypted payload, use a mongoc_client_t <> configured with mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_t <>. The mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_t <> may be configured to bypass query analysis with mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_set_bypass_query_analysis() <>. The mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_t <> must not be configured to bypass automatic encryption with mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_set_bypass_auto_encryption() <>.
To insert with a Range payload mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_range_opts_t <> must be set in opts.
To query with a Range payload, use mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_expression() <>
PARAMETERS¶
- client_encryption: A mongoc_client_encryption_t <>
- value: The value to encrypt.
- opts: A mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_opts_t <>.
- ciphertext: A bson_value_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_value_t.html> for the resulting ciphertext (a BSON binary with subtype 6).
- error: A bson_error_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_error_t.html> set on failure.
RETURNS¶
Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error otherwise.
