【OpenSSL】base64 with EVP codecs

Introduction

• Here are some deoms code of Base64 encoding/decoding with EVP_Encode/EVP_Decode.

Encode

bool Base64Encode(const std::vector<unsigned char > & vchInput, std::string & b64str)
{
    EVP_ENCODE_CTX  ctx;
    EVP_EncodeInit(&ctx);

    int destbuflen = vchInput.size() * 2 + 1; // enough

    char * destbuf = (char *)malloc(destbuflen);

    int outl = 0;
    EVP_EncodeUpdate(&ctx, (unsigned char *)destbuf, &outl, (unsigned char *)&vchInput[0], vchInput.size());

    int tmplen = 0;
    EVP_EncodeFinal(&ctx, (unsigned char *)&destbuf[outl], &tmplen);
    outl += tmplen;

    b64str.append(destbuf, outl);

    free(destbuf); destbuf = NULL;

    return !b64str.empty();
}

Decode

bool Base64Decode(const std::string & b64str, std::vector<unsigned char > & vecResult)
{
    EVP_ENCODE_CTX  ctx;
    int srclen = (((b64str.length()+2)/4)*3)+1;
    int destlen = 0;

    vecResult.resize(srclen);
    unsigned char * destbuf = &vecResult[0];
    EVP_DecodeInit(&ctx);

    EVP_DecodeUpdate(&ctx, (unsigned char *)destbuf, &destlen, (unsigned char *)b64str.c_str(), b64str.length());

    int tmplen = 0;

    EVP_DecodeFinal(&ctx, (unsigned char *)&vecResult[destlen], &tmplen);
    destlen += tmplen;

    vecResult.resize(destlen);

    return !vecResult.empty();
}
