.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
type is a structure holding function pointers for
a symmetric cipher implementation.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_new
allocates a new
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
structure.
The cipher's NID (see
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_nid 3 )
is set to
.Fa cipher_type ,
the block size and key length are set to
.Fa block_size
and
.Fa key_len ,
respectively.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_dup
creates a copy of
.Fa cipher .
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_free
frees an
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
structure.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_iv_length
sets the length of the initialization vector.
This is only needed when the implemented cipher mode requires it.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_flags
overwrites the flags to describe optional behaviours in
.Fa cipher
with
.Fa flags .
At most one of the following cipher modes can be set:
.Dv EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER ,
.Dv EVP_CIPH_ECB_MODE ,
.Dv EVP_CIPH_CBC_MODE ,
.Dv EVP_CIPH_CFB_MODE ,
.Dv EVP_CIPH_OFB_MODE ,
.Dv EVP_CIPH_CTR_MODE ,
.Dv EVP_CIPH_GCM_MODE ,
.Dv EVP_CIPH_CCM_MODE ,
.Dv EVP_CIPH_XTS_MODE ,
and
.Dv EVP_CIPH_WRAP_MODE .
.Pp
Zero or more of the following flags can be OR'ed into the
.Fa flags
argument:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Dv EVP_CIPH_VARIABLE_LENGTH
This cipher has a variable key length, and the function
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length 3
can be used with it.
.It Dv EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV
Instruct
.Xr EVP_CipherInit_ex 3
and similar initialization functions to leave storing and initialising
the IV entirely to the implementation.
If this flag is set,
the implementation is typically expected to do that in its
.Fa init
function.
.It Dv EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
Instruct
.Xr EVP_CipherInit_ex 3
and similar initialization functions to call the implementation's
.Fa init
function even if the
.Fa key
argument is
.Dv NULL .
.It Dv EVP_CIPH_CTRL_INIT
Instruct
.Xr EVP_CipherInit_ex 3
and similar initialization functions to call the implementation's
.Fa ctrl
function with a command
.Fa type
of
.Dv EVP_CTRL_INIT
early during the setup.
.It Dv EVP_CIPH_NO_PADDING
Instruct
.Xr EVP_CipherFinal_ex 3
and similar finalization functions to not use standard block padding
but instead report an error if the total amount of data
to be encrypted or decrypted is not a multiple of the block size.
.It Dv EVP_CIPH_RAND_KEY
Instruct
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key 3
to not generate a random key using
.Xr arc4random_buf 3
but instead leave that to the implementation by calling the
.Fa ctrl
function with a command
.Fa type
of
.Dv EVP_CTRL_RAND_KEY
and the pointer to the key memory storage in
.Fa ptr .
.It Dv EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_COPY
Instruct
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy 3
to call the implementation's
.Fa ctrl
function with a command
.Fa type
of
.Dv EVP_CTRL_COPY
and the destination
.Fa "EVP_CIPHER_CTX *out"
in the
.Fa ptr
argument immediately before returning successfully.
The intended use is for further things to deal with after the
implementation specific data block has been copied.
The implementation-specific data block is reached with
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data 3 .
.It Dv EVP_CIPH_FLAG_DEFAULT_ASN1
Instruct
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1 3
to use
.Xr ASN1_TYPE_set_octetstring 3
if no
.Fa set_asn1_parameters
function is installed, and instruct
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param 3
to use
.Xr ASN1_TYPE_get_octetstring 3
if no
.Fa get_asn1_parameters
function is installed.
.It Dv EVP_CIPH_FLAG_LENGTH_BITS
Signals that the length of the input buffer for encryption / decryption
is to be understood as the number of bits instead of bytes for this
implementation.
This is only useful for CFB1 ciphers.
.It Dv EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER
Instruct
.Xr EVP_CipherUpdate 3 ,
.Xr EVP_CipherFinal_ex 3 ,
and similar encryption, decryption, and finalization functions
that the implementation's
.Fa do_cipher
function takes care of everything,
including padding, buffering and finalization.
.It Dv EVP_CIPH_FLAG_AEAD_CIPHER
This indicates that this is an AEAD cipher implementation.
.El
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_impl_ctx_size
sets the size of the EVP_CIPHER's implementation context so that it can
be automatically allocated.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_init
sets the
.Fa init
function for
.Fa cipher .
The cipher init function is called by
.Xr EVP_CipherInit 3 ,
.Xr EVP_CipherInit_ex 3 ,
.Xr EVP_EncryptInit 3 ,
.Xr EVP_EncryptInit_ex 3 ,
.Xr EVP_DecryptInit 3 ,
and
.Xr EVP_DecryptInit_ex 3 .
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_do_cipher
sets the cipher function for
.Fa cipher .
The cipher function is called by
.Xr EVP_CipherUpdate 3 ,
.Xr EVP_EncryptUpdate 3 ,
.Xr EVP_DecryptUpdate 3 ,
.Xr EVP_CipherFinal 3 ,
.Xr EVP_EncryptFinal 3 ,
.Xr EVP_EncryptFinal_ex 3 ,
.Xr EVP_DecryptFinal 3
and
.Xr EVP_DecryptFinal_ex 3 .
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_cleanup
sets the function for
.Fa cipher
to do extra cleanup before the method's private data structure is
cleaned out and freed.
Note that the cleanup function is passed a
.Sy EVP_CIPHER_CTX * ,
the private data structure is then available with
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data 3 .
This cleanup function is called by
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset 3
and
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free 3 .
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_set_asn1_params
sets the function for
.Fa cipher
to set the AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter" based on the passed cipher.
This function is called by
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1 3 .
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_get_asn1_params
sets the function for
.Fa cipher
that sets the cipher parameters based on an ASN.1 AlgorithmIdentifier
"parameter".
Both these functions are needed when there is a need for custom data
(more or other than the cipher IV). They are called by
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1 3
and
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param 3
respectively if defined.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_ctrl
sets the control function for
.Fa cipher .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_new
and
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_dup
return a pointer to a newly created
.Vt EVP_CIPHER ,
or NULL on failure.
.Pp
All
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_*
functions return 1.
