84<p>It is recommended that applications call this function before calling any other function in this module.</p>
85<p>Applications are permitted to call this function more than once. Once a call succeeds, subsequent calls are guaranteed to succeed.</p>
86<p>If the application calls any function that returns a <a class="reference internal" href="status.html#c.psa_status_t" title="psa_status_t"><code class="xref any c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">psa_status_t</span></code></a> result code before calling <a class="reference internal" href="#c.psa_crypto_init" title="psa_crypto_init"><code class="xref any c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">psa_crypto_init()</span></code></a>, the following will occur:</p>
87<ul class="simple">
88<li>If initialization of the library is essential for secure operation of the function, the implementation must return <a class="reference internal" href="status.html#c.PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE" title="PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE"><code class="xref any c c-macro docutils literal"><span class="pre">PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE</span></code></a> or other appropriate error.</li>
89<li>If failure to initialize the library does not compromise the security of the function, the implementation must either provide the expected result for the function, or return <a class="reference internal" href="status.html#c.PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE" title="PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE"><code class="xref any c c-macro docutils literal"><span class="pre">PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE</span></code></a> or other appropriate error.</li>
90</ul>
91<div class="admonition note">
92<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
93<p>The following scenarios are examples where an implementation can require that the library has been initialized by calling <a class="reference internal" href="#c.psa_crypto_init" title="psa_crypto_init"><code class="xref any c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">psa_crypto_init()</span></code></a>:</p>
94<ul class="last simple">
95<li>A client-server implementation, in which <a class="reference internal" href="#c.psa_crypto_init" title="psa_crypto_init"><code class="xref any c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">psa_crypto_init()</span></code></a> establishes the communication with the server. No key management or cryptographic operation can be performed until this is done.</li>
96<li>An implementation in which <a class="reference internal" href="#c.psa_crypto_init" title="psa_crypto_init"><code class="xref any c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">psa_crypto_init()</span></code></a> initializes the random bit generator, and no operations that require the RNG can be performed until this is done. For example, random data, key, IV, or nonce generation; randomized signature or encryption; and algorithms that are implemented with blinding.</li>
