<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p>The symmetric cipher commands allow data to be encrypted or decrypted
using various block and stream ciphers using keys based on passwords
or explicitly provided. Base64 encoding or decoding can also be performed
either by itself or in addition to the encryption or decryption.</p>

<h1><a name="notes">NOTES</a></h1>
<p>The program can be called either as <code>openssl cipher</code> or
<code>openssl enc -cipher</code>. The first form doesn't work with
engine-provided ciphers, because this form is processed before the
configuration file is read and any ENGINEs loaded.
Use the <a href="#list">openssl-list(1)</a> command to get a list of supported ciphers.</p>
<p>Engines which provide entirely new encryption algorithms (such as the ccgost
engine which provides gost89 algorithm) should be configured in the
configuration file. Engines specified on the command line using <strong>-engine</strong>
option can only be used for hardware-assisted implementations of
ciphers which are supported by the OpenSSL core or another engine specified
in the configuration file.</p>
<p>When the enc command lists supported ciphers, ciphers provided by engines,
specified in the configuration files are listed too.</p>
<p>A password will be prompted for to derive the key and IV if necessary.</p>
<p>The <strong>-salt</strong> option should <strong>ALWAYS</strong> be used if the key is being derived
from a password unless you want compatibility with previous versions of
OpenSSL.</p>
<p>Without the <strong>-salt</strong> option it is possible to perform efficient dictionary
attacks on the password and to attack stream cipher encrypted data. The reason
for this is that without the salt the same password always generates the same
encryption key. When the salt is being used the first eight bytes of the
encrypted data are reserved for the salt: it is generated at random when
encrypting a file and read from the encrypted file when it is decrypted.</p>
<p>Some of the ciphers do not have large keys and others have security
implications if not used correctly. A beginner is advised to just use
a strong block cipher, such as AES, in CBC mode.</p>
<p>All the block ciphers normally use PKCS#5 padding, also known as standard
block padding. This allows a rudimentary integrity or password check to
be performed. However since the chance of random data passing the test
is better than 1 in 256 it isn't a very good test.</p>
<p>If padding is disabled then the input data must be a multiple of the cipher
block length.</p>
<p>All RC2 ciphers have the same key and effective key length.</p>
<p>Blowfish and RC5 algorithms use a 128 bit key.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="supported_ciphers">SUPPORTED CIPHERS</a></h1>
<p>Note that some of these ciphers can be disabled at compile time
and some are available only if an appropriate engine is configured
in the configuration file. The output when invoking this command
with the <strong>-ciphers</strong> option (that is <code>openssl enc -ciphers</code>) is
a list of ciphers, supported by your version of OpenSSL, including
ones provided by configured engines.</p>
<p>This command does not support authenticated encryption modes
like CCM and GCM, and will not support such modes in the future.
This is due to having to begin streaming output (e.g., to standard output
when <strong>-out</strong> is not used) before the authentication tag could be validated.
When this command is used in a pipeline, the receiving end will not be
able to roll back upon authentication failure. The AEAD modes currently in
common use also suffer from catastrophic failure of confidentiality and/or
integrity upon reuse of key/iv/nonce, and since <strong>openssl enc</strong> places the
entire burden of key/iv/nonce management upon the user, the risk of
exposing AEAD modes is too great to allow. These key/iv/nonce
management issues also affect other modes currently exposed in this command,
but the failure modes are less extreme in these cases, and the
functionality cannot be removed with a stable release branch.
For bulk encryption of data, whether using authenticated encryption
modes or other modes, <em>openssl-cms(1)</em> is recommended, as it provides a
standard data format and performs the needed key/iv/nonce management.</p>

<p>The <strong>openssl enc</strong> command only supports a fixed number of algorithms with
certain parameters. So if, for example, you want to use RC2 with a
76 bit key or RC4 with an 84 bit key you can't use this program.</p>
