# aciInitEncryption

Call the `aciInitEncryption` function to initialize the encryption keys to use for subsequent ACI connections.

## Syntax

    aciError aciInitEncryption (
        BOOL bOEMLicensed,
        char* szEncType,
        char* szTEAKeys)

## Arguments

Arguments | Type/Description
--- | ---
`bOEMLicensed` | `BOOL` One of the following values: `TRUE` `FALSE`
`szEncType` | `char*` The encryption type. Set this to `TEA` to use OEM encryption.
`szTEAKeys` | `char*` The TEA keys to use for OEM encryption.

## Discussion

You must call this function at the beginning of an application when you want to use OEM encryption. If the application is OEM licensed, the API attempts to encrypt all requests.

For more information about using OEM encryption, see OEM Encryption.
