+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The EVP cipher routines are a high level interface to certain
+symmetric ciphers.
+
+EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init() initializes cipher contex B<ctx>.
+
+EVP_EncryptInit_ex() sets up cipher context B<ctx> for encryption
+with cipher B<type> from ENGINE B<impl>. 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 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. If custom ciphers exceed these values the results are
+unpredictable. This is because it has become standard practice to define a
+generic key as a fixed unsigned char array containing EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH bytes.
+
+The ASN1 code is incomplete (and sometimes inaccurate) it has only been tested
+for certain common S/MIME ciphers (RC2, DES, triple DES) in CBC mode.
