MONGOC_CLIENT_ENCRYPTION_ENCRYPT(3) libmongoc MONGOC_CLIENT_ENCRYPTION_ENCRYPT(3)

NAME

mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt - mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt()

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() to free.

To insert or query with an "Indexed" 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(). Note that the "Indexed" payload type is part of the experimental Queryable Encryption API and may be subject to breaking changes in future releases.

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 for the resulting ciphertext (a BSON binary with subtype 6).
  • error: A bson_error_t set on failure.

RETURNS

Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error otherwise.
