silc_cipher_set_key

SYNOPSIS

    SilcBool silc_cipher_set_key(SilcCipher cipher, const unsigned char *key,
                                 SilcUInt32 bit_keylen, SilcBool encryption);

DESCRIPTION

Sets the key for the cipher. The `keylen' is the key length in bits. If the `encryption' is TRUE the key is for encryption, if FALSE the key is for decryption.
