<p>The cryptographic transforms (digests, signatures and encryption)
implementation is the main goal of "xmlsec-<crypto>" library.
Most of the cryptographic <a class="link" href="xmlsec-notes-transforms.html" title="Transforms and transforms chain.">transforms</a>
use default <em class="structfield"><code>pushBin</code></em> and <em class="structfield"><code>popBin</code></em>
methods and provide custom <a class="link" href="xmlsec-transforms.html#xmlSecTransformExecuteMethod" title="xmlSecTransformExecuteMethod ()">execute</a> method.
The binary transform <a class="link" href="xmlsec-transforms.html#xmlSecTransformExecuteMethod" title="xmlSecTransformExecuteMethod ()">execute</a> method
processes data from the input buffer
<em class="structfield"><code>inBuf</code></em> and pushes results to
<em class="structfield"><code>outBuf</code></em>. The transform should try to
consume and remove data from <em class="structfield"><code>inBuf</code></em> buffer
as soon as the data became available. However, it might happen
that current data size in the input buffer is not enough (for example,
RSA-PKCS1 algorithm requires that all the data are available in
one buffer). In this case, transform might keep the data in the
input buffer till the next call to
<a class="link" href="xmlsec-transforms.html#xmlSecTransformExecuteMethod" title="xmlSecTransformExecuteMethod ()">execute</a>
method. The "last" parameter of the
<a class="link" href="xmlsec-transforms.html#xmlSecTransformExecuteMethod" title="xmlSecTransformExecuteMethod ()">execute</a>
indicates that transform MUST process all the data in the input buffer
and return as much as possible in the output buffer. The
<a class="link" href="xmlsec-transforms.html#xmlSecTransformExecuteMethod" title="xmlSecTransformExecuteMethod ()">execute</a> method
might be called multiple times with non-zero "last" parameter until
the transforms returns nothing
in the output buffer. In addition, the transform implementation is
responsible for managing the transform <em class="structfield"><code>status</code></em>
variable.

<p>In adition to <a class="link" href="xmlsec-transforms.html#xmlSecTransformExecuteMethod" title="xmlSecTransformExecuteMethod ()">execute</a>

after transform execution is finished. The
<a class="link" href="xmlsec-transforms.html#xmlSecTransformVerifyMethod" title="xmlSecTransformVerifyMethod ()">verify</a> method implementation
