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. +transparent to the cipher used and much more flexible. Additionally, the +B<EVP> interface will ensure the use of platform specific cryptographic +acceleration such as AES-NI (the low level interfaces do not provide the +guarantee). 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 |
