You can download OpenCDK because the interface there is more
general...(http://www.winpt.org/opencdk.html)

"sdata" should be the session key, right?

This depends on the format of sdata. FMT_USG is used for general
MPI values that are *not* prefixed with the length in the buffer
like (OpenPGP/SSH).

This also depends on your data field. Usually the data should
be the session key and the result is the encrypted session key!

To text? I guess you mean to binary data...but yes it is.
