For instance, any of the void DES_*_encrypt().? This cursory observation is also supported by a vendor application code such as:
?static void des_encrypt(char key1[8], char key2[8], char key3[8], char ivec[8],
???????????????? char *input, char *output, int len,
???????????????? int encrypt)
?{
?? [snip]
??? DES_set_key(&des_key1, &schedule1);
??? DES_set_key(&des_key2, &schedule2);
??? DES_set_key(&des_key3, &schedule3);
??? DES_ede3_cbc_encrypt((unsigned char *)input, (unsigned char *)output, len,
???????????????????????? &schedule1, &schedule2, &schedule3, &des_ivec,
???????????????????????? encrypt);
?}
This is basically why I'm wondering about how errors propagate in the OpenSSL library.
