Functions

initializeCrypto

void initializeCrypto();

Initialize the Crypto library, as well as the underlying OpenSSL libraries, by calling OpenSSLInitializer::initialize().

Should be called before using any class from the Crypto library. The Crypto library will be initialized automatically, through OpenSSLInitializer instances held by various Crypto classes (Cipher, CipherKey, RSAKey, X509Certificate). However, it is recommended to call initializeCrypto() in any case at application startup.

Can be called multiple times; however, for every call to initializeCrypto(), a matching call to uninitializeCrypto() must be performed.

uninitializeCrypto

void uninitializeCrypto();

Uninitializes the Crypto library by calling OpenSSLInitializer::uninitialize().
