B<ctx> must be initialized +before calling this function. B<type> is normally supplied +by a function such as EVP_des_cbc(). If B<impl> is NULL then the +default implementation is used. B<key> is the symmetric key to use +and B<iv> is the IV to use (if necessary), the actual number of bytes +used for the key and IV depends on the cipher. It is possible to set +all parameters to NULL except B<type> in an initial call and supply +the remaining parameters in subsequent calls, all of which have B<type> +set to NULL. This is done when the default cipher parameters are not +appropriate. + +EVP_EncryptUpdate() encrypts B<inl> bytes from the buffer B<in> and +writes the encrypted version to B<out>. This function can be called +multiple times to encrypt successive blocks of data. The amount +of data written depends on the block alignment of the encrypted data: +as a result the amount of data written may be anything from zero bytes +to (inl + cipher_block_size - 1) so B<outl> should contain sufficient +room. The actual number of bytes written is placed in B<outl>. + +If padding is enabled (the default) then EVP_EncryptFinal_ex() encrypts +the "final" data, that is any data that remains in a partial block. +It uses L<standard block padding|/NOTES> (aka PKCS padding). The encrypted +final data is written to B<out> which should have sufficient space for +one cipher block. The number of bytes written is placed in B<outl>. After +this function is called the encryption operation is finished and no further +calls to EVP_EncryptUpdate() should be made. + +If padding is disabled then EVP_EncryptFinal_ex() will not encrypt any more +data and it will return an error if any data remains in a partial block: +that is if the total data length is not a multiple of the block size. + +EVP_DecryptInit_ex(), EVP_DecryptUpdate() and EVP_DecryptFinal_ex() are the +corresponding decryption operations. EVP_DecryptFinal() will return an +error code if padding is enabled and the final block is not correctly +formatted. The parameters and restrictions are identical to the encryption +operations except that if padding is enabled the decrypted data buffer B<out> +passed to EVP_DecryptUpdate() should have sufficient room for +(B<inl> + cipher_block_size) bytes unless the cipher block size is 1 in +which case B<inl> bytes is sufficient. + +EVP_CipherInit_ex(), EVP_CipherUpdate() and EVP_CipherFinal_ex() are +functions that can be used for decryption or encryption. The operation +performed depends on the value of the B<enc> parameter. It should be set +to 1 for encryption, 0 for decryption and -1 to leave the value unchanged +(the actual value of 'enc' being supplied in a previous call). + +EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() clears all information from a cipher context +and free up any allocated memory associate with it. It should be called +after all operations using a cipher are complete so sensitive information +does not remain in memory. + +EVP_EncryptInit(), EVP_DecryptInit() and EVP_CipherInit() behave in a +similar way to EVP_EncryptInit_ex(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex and +EVP_CipherInit_ex() except the B<ctx> paramter does not need to be +initialized and they always use the default cipher implementation. + +EVP_EncryptFinal(), EVP_DecryptFinal() and EVP_CipherFinal() behave in a +similar way to EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(), EVP_DecryptFinal_ex() and +EVP_CipherFinal_ex() except B<ctx> is automatically cleaned up +after the call. + +EVP_get_cipherbyname(), EVP_get_cipherbynid() and EVP_get_cipherbyobj() +return an EVP_CIPHER structure when passed a cipher name, a NID or an +ASN1_OBJECT structure. + +EVP_CIPHER_nid() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_nid() return the NID of a cipher when +passed an B<EVP_CIPHER> or B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> structure. The actual NID +value is an internal value which may not have a corresponding OBJECT +IDENTIFIER. + +EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() enables or disables padding. By default +encryption operations are padded using standard block padding and the +padding is checked and removed when decrypting. If the B<pad> parameter +is zero then no padding is performed, the total amount of data encrypted +or decrypted must then be a multiple of the block size or an error will +occur. + +EVP_CIPHER_key_length() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length() return the key +length of a cipher when passed an B<EVP_CIPHER> or B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> +structure. The constant B<EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH> is the maximum key length +for all ciphers. Note: although EVP_CIPHER_key_length() is fixed for a +given cipher, the value of EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length() may be different +for variable key length ciphers. + +EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() sets the key length of the cipher ctx. +If the cipher is a fixed length cipher then attempting to set the key +length to any value other than the fixed value is an error. + +EVP_CIPHER_iv_length() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length() return the IV +length of a cipher when passed an B<EVP_CIPHER> or B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX>. +It will return zero if the cipher does not use an IV. The constant +B<EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH> is the maximum IV length for all ciphers. + +EVP_CIPHER_block_size() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_block_size() return the block +size of a cipher when passed an B<EVP_CIPHER> or B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> +structure. The constant B<EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH> is also the maximum block +length for all ciphers. + +EVP_CIPHER_type() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_type() return the type of the passed +cipher or context. This "type" is the actual NID of the cipher OBJECT +IDENTIFIER as such it ignores the cipher parameters and 40 bit RC2 and +128 bit RC2 have the same NID. If the cipher does not have an object +identifier or does not have ASN1 support this function will return +B<NID_undef>. + +EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cipher() returns the B<EVP_CIPHER> structure when passed +an B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> structure. + +EVP_CIPHER_mode() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_mode() return the block cipher mode: +EVP_CIPH_ECB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CBC_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CFB_MODE or +EVP_CIPH_OFB_MODE. If the cipher is a stream cipher then +EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER is returned. + +EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1() sets the AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter" based +on the passed cipher. This will typically include any parameters and an +IV. The cipher IV (if any) must be set when this call is made. This call +should be made before the cipher is actually "used" (before any +EVP_EncryptUpdate(), EVP_DecryptUpdate() calls for example). This function +may fail if the cipher does not have any ASN1 support. + +EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() sets the cipher parameters based on an ASN1 +AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter". The precise effect depends on the cipher +In the case of RC2, for example, it will set the IV and effective key length. +This function should be called after the base cipher type is set but before +the key is set. For example EVP_CipherInit() will be called with the IV and +key set to NULL, EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() will be called and finally +EVP_CipherInit() again with all parameters except the key set to NULL. It is +possible for this function to fail if the cipher does not have any ASN1 support +or the parameters cannot be set (for example the RC2 effective key length +is not supported. + +EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl() allows various cipher specific parameters to be determined +and set. Currently only the RC2 effective key length and the number of rounds of +RC5 can be set. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +EVP_EncryptInit_ex(), EVP_EncryptUpdate() and EVP_EncryptFinal_ex() +return 1 for success and 0 for failure. + +EVP_DecryptInit_ex() and EVP_DecryptUpdate() return 1 for success and 0 for failure. +EVP_DecryptFinal_ex() returns 0 if the decrypt failed or 1 for success. + +EVP_CipherInit_ex() and EVP_CipherUpdate() return 1 for success and 0 for failure. +EVP_CipherFinal_ex() returns 0 for a decryption failure or 1 for success. + +EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure. + +EVP_get_cipherbyname(), EVP_get_cipherbynid() and EVP_get_cipherbyobj() +return an B<EVP_CIPHER> structure or NULL on error. + +EVP_CIPHER_nid() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_nid() return a NID. + +EVP_CIPHER_block_size() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_block_size() return the block +size. + +EVP_CIPHER_key_length() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length() return the key +length. + +EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() always returns 1. + +EVP_CIPHER_iv_length() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length() return the IV +length or zero if the cipher does not use an IV. + +EVP_CIPHER_type() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_type() return the NID of the cipher's +OBJECT IDENTIFIER or NID_undef if it has no defined OBJECT IDENTIFIER. + +EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cipher() returns an B<EVP_CIPHER> structure. + +EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1() and EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() return 1 for +success or zero for failure. + +=head1 CIPHER LISTING + +All algorithms have a fixed key length unless otherwise stated. + +=over 4 + +=item EVP_enc_null() + +Null cipher: does nothing. + +=item EVP_des_cbc(void), EVP_des_ecb(void), EVP_des_cfb(void), EVP_des_ofb(void) + +DES in CBC, ECB, CFB and OFB modes respectively. + +=item EVP_des_ede_cbc(void), EVP_des_ede(), EVP_des_ede_ofb(void), EVP_des_ede_cfb(void) + +Two key triple DES in CBC, ECB, CFB and OFB modes respectively. + +=item EVP_des_ede3_cbc(void), EVP_des_ede3(), EVP_des_ede3_ofb(void), EVP_des_ede3_cfb(void) + +Three key triple DES in CBC, ECB, CFB and OFB modes respectively. + +=item EVP_desx_cbc(void) + +DESX algorithm in CBC mode. + +=item EVP_rc4(void) + +RC4 stream cipher.

This is a variable key length +cipher with an additional "number of rounds" parameter. By default the key length is set to 128 +bits and 12 rounds. + +=back + +=head1 NOTES + +Where possible the B<EVP> interface to symmetric ciphers should be used in +preference to the low level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes +transparent to the cipher used and much more flexible. + +PKCS padding works by adding B<n> padding bytes of value B<n> to make the total +length of the encrypted data a multiple of the block size. Padding is always +added so if the data is already a multiple of the block size B<n> will equal +the block size. For example if the block size is 8 and 11 bytes are to be +encrypted then 5 padding bytes of value 5 will be added. + +When decrypting the final block is checked to see if it has the correct form. + +Although the decryption operation can produce an error if padding is enabled, +it is not a strong test that the input data or key is correct. A random block +has better than 1 in 256 chance of being of the correct format and problems with +the input data earlier on will not produce a final decrypt error. + +If padding is disabled then the decryption operation will always succeed if +the total amount of data decrypted is a multiple of the block size. + +The functions EVP_EncryptInit(), EVP_EncryptFinal(), EVP_DecryptInit(), +EVP_CipherInit() and EVP_CipherFinal() are obsolete but are retained for +compatibility with existing code. New code should use EVP_EncryptInit_ex(), +EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex(), EVP_DecryptFinal_ex(), +EVP_CipherInit_ex() and EVP_CipherFinal_ex() because they can reuse an +existing context without allocating and freeing it up on each call. + +=head1 BUGS + +For RC5 the number of rounds can currently only be set to 8, 12 or 16. This is +a limitation of the current RC5 code rather than the EVP interface. + +EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH and EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH only refer to the internal ciphers with +default key lengths.
