.Sh DESCRIPTION
The EVP cipher routines are a high level interface to certain symmetric
ciphers.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init
initializes the cipher context
.Fa ctx .
.Pp
.Fn EVP_EncryptInit_ex
sets up the cipher context
.Fa ctx
for encryption with cipher
.Fa type
from
.Vt ENGINE
.Fa impl .
.Fa ctx
must be initialized before calling this function.
.Fa type
is normally supplied by a function such as
.Fn EVP_aes_256_cbc .
If
.Fa impl
is
.Dv NULL ,
then the default implementation is used.
.Fa key
is the symmetric key to use and
.Fa 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
.Dv NULL
except
.Fa type
in an initial call and supply the remaining parameters in subsequent
calls, all of which have
.Fa type
set to
.Dv NULL .
This is done when the default cipher parameters are not appropriate.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_EncryptUpdate
encrypts
.Fa inl
bytes from the buffer
.Fa in
and writes the encrypted version to
.Fa 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
.Fa outl
should contain sufficient room.
The actual number of bytes written is placed in
.Fa outl .
.Pp
If padding is enabled (the default) then
.Fn EVP_EncryptFinal_ex
encrypts the "final" data, that is any data that remains in a partial
block.
It uses NOTES (aka PKCS padding).
The encrypted final data is written to
.Fa out
which should have sufficient space for one cipher block.
The number of bytes written is placed in
.Fa outl .
After this function is called the encryption operation is finished and
no further calls to
.Fn EVP_EncryptUpdate
should be made.
.Pp
If padding is disabled then
.Fn 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.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_DecryptInit_ex ,
.Fn EVP_DecryptUpdate ,
and
.Fn EVP_DecryptFinal_ex
are the corresponding decryption operations.
.Fn 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
.Fa out
passed to
.Fn EVP_DecryptUpdate
should have sufficient room for (inl + cipher_block_size) bytes
unless the cipher block size is 1 in which case
.Fa inl
bytes is sufficient.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CipherInit_ex ,
.Fn EVP_CipherUpdate ,
and
.Fn EVP_CipherFinal_ex
are functions that can be used for decryption or encryption.
The operation performed depends on the value of the
.Fa enc
parameter.
It should be set to 1 for encryption, 0 for decryption and -1 to leave
the value unchanged (the actual value of
.Fa enc
being supplied in a previous call).
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup
clears all information from a cipher context and free up any allocated
memory associated with it.
It should be called after all operations using a cipher are complete so
sensitive information does not remain in memory.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_EncryptInit ,
.Fn EVP_DecryptInit ,
and
.Fn EVP_CipherInit
behave in a similar way to
.Fn EVP_EncryptInit_ex ,
.Fn EVP_DecryptInit_ex ,
and
.Fn EVP_CipherInit_ex
except the
.Fa ctx
parameter does not need to be initialized and they always use the
default cipher implementation.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_EncryptFinal ,
.Fn EVP_DecryptFinal ,
and
.Fn EVP_CipherFinal
are identical to
.Fn EVP_EncryptFinal_ex ,
.Fn EVP_DecryptFinal_ex ,
and
.Fn EVP_CipherFinal_ex .
In previous releases of OpenSSL, they also used to clean up the
.Fa ctx ,
but this is no longer done and
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup
must be called to free any context resources.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_get_cipherbyname ,
.Fn EVP_get_cipherbynid ,
and
.Fn EVP_get_cipherbyobj
return an
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
structure when passed a cipher name, a NID or an
.Vt ASN1_OBJECT
structure.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_nid
and
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_nid
return the NID of a cipher when passed an
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
or
.Vt EVP_CIPHER_CTX
structure.
The actual NID value is an internal value which may not have a
corresponding OBJECT IDENTIFIER.
.Pp
.Fn 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
.Sy padding
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.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_key_length
and
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length
return the key length of a cipher when passed an
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
or
.Vt EVP_CIPHER_CTX
structure.
The constant
.Dv EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH
is the maximum key length for all ciphers.
Note: although
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_key_length
is fixed for a given cipher, the value of
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length
may be different for variable key length ciphers.
.Pp
.Fn 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.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_iv_length
and
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length
return the IV length of a cipher when passed an
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
or
.Vt EVP_CIPHER_CTX .
It will return zero if the cipher does not use an IV.
The constant
.Dv EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH
is the maximum IV length for all ciphers.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_block_size
and
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_block_size
return the block size of a cipher when passed an
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
or
.Vt EVP_CIPHER_CTX
structure.
The constant
.Dv EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH
is also the maximum block length for all ciphers.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_type
and
.Fn 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 ASN.1 support this function will return
.Dv NID_undef .
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cipher
returns the
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
structure when passed an
.Vt EVP_CIPHER_CTX
structure.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_mode
and
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_mode
return the block cipher mode:
.Dv EVP_CIPH_ECB_MODE ,
.Dv EVP_CIPH_CBC_MODE ,
.Dv EVP_CIPH_CFB_MODE ,
or
.Dv EVP_CIPH_OFB_MODE .
If the cipher is a stream cipher then
.Dv EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER
is returned.
.Pp
.Fn 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
.Fn EVP_EncryptUpdate
or
.Fn EVP_DecryptUpdate
calls, for example).
This function may fail if the cipher does not have any ASN.1 support.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param
sets the cipher parameters based on an ASN.1 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
.Fn EVP_CipherInit
will be called with the IV and key set to
.Dv NULL ,
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param
will be called and finally
.Fn EVP_CipherInit
again with all parameters except the key set to
.Dv NULL .
It is possible for this function to fail if the cipher does not
have any ASN.1 support or the parameters cannot be set (for example
the RC2 effective key length is not supported).
.Pp
.Fn 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.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn EVP_EncryptInit_ex ,
.Fn EVP_EncryptUpdate ,
and
.Fn EVP_EncryptFinal_ex
return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_DecryptInit_ex
and
.Fn EVP_DecryptUpdate
return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
.Fn EVP_DecryptFinal_ex
returns 0 if the decrypt failed or 1 for success.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CipherInit_ex
and
.Fn EVP_CipherUpdate
return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
.Fn EVP_CipherFinal_ex
returns 0 for a decryption failure or 1 for success.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup
returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_get_cipherbyname ,
.Fn EVP_get_cipherbynid ,
and
.Fn EVP_get_cipherbyobj
return an
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
structure or
.Dv NULL
on error.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_nid
and
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_nid
return a NID.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_block_size
and
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_block_size
return the block size.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_key_length
and
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length
return the key length.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding
always returns 1.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_iv_length
and
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length
return the IV length or zero if the cipher does not use an IV.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_type
and
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_type
return the NID of the cipher's OBJECT IDENTIFIER or
.Dv NID_undef
if it has no defined OBJECT IDENTIFIER.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cipher
returns an
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
structure.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1
and
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param
return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
.Pp
Where possible the 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.
.Pp
PKCS padding works by adding n padding bytes of value 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 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.
.Pp
When decrypting the final block is checked to see if it has the correct
form.
.Pp
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.
.Pp
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.
.Pp
The functions
.Fn EVP_EncryptInit ,
.Fn EVP_EncryptFinal ,
.Fn EVP_DecryptInit ,
.Fn EVP_CipherInit ,
and
.Fn EVP_CipherFinal
are obsolete but are retained for compatibility with existing code.
New code should use
.Fn EVP_EncryptInit_ex ,
.Fn EVP_EncryptFinal_ex ,
.Fn EVP_DecryptInit_ex ,
.Fn EVP_DecryptFinal_ex ,
.Fn EVP_CipherInit_ex ,
and
.Fn EVP_CipherFinal_ex
because they can reuse an existing context without allocating and
freeing it up on each call.

.Sh 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.
.Pp
.Dv EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH
and
.Dv 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
.Dv EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH
bytes.
.Pp
The ASN.1 code is incomplete (and sometimes inaccurate).
It has only been tested for certain common S/MIME ciphers
(RC2, DES, triple DES) in CBC mode.
