.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \s-1EVP\s0 cipher routines are a high level interface to certain
symmetric ciphers.
.PP
The \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0\fR type is a structure for cipher method implementation.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_fetch()\fR fetches the cipher implementation for the given
\&\fBalgorithm\fR from any provider offering it, within the criteria given
by the \fBproperties\fR.
See \*(L"Fetching algorithms\*(R" in \fIprovider\fR\|(7) for further information.
.PP
The returned value must eventually be freed with \fIEVP_CIPHER_free()\fR.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_up_ref()\fR increments the reference count for an \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0\fR
structure.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_free()\fR decrements the reference count for the \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0\fR
structure.
If the reference count drops to 0 then the structure is freed.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_new()\fR creates a cipher context.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_free()\fR clears all information from a cipher context
and free up any allocated memory associate with it, including \fBctx\fR
itself. This function should be called after all operations using a
cipher are complete so sensitive information does not remain in
memory.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_EncryptInit_ex()\fR sets up cipher context \fBctx\fR for encryption
with cipher \fBtype\fR. \fBtype\fR is typically supplied by a function such
as \fIEVP_aes_256_cbc()\fR, or a value explicitly fetched with
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_fetch()\fR. If \fBimpl\fR is non-NULL, its implementation of the
cipher \fBtype\fR is used if there is one, and if not, the default
implementation is used. \fBkey\fR is the symmetric key to use
and \fBiv\fR is the \s-1IV\s0 to use (if necessary), the actual number of bytes
used for the key and \s-1IV\s0 depends on the cipher. It is possible to set
all parameters to \s-1NULL\s0 except \fBtype\fR in an initial call and supply
the remaining parameters in subsequent calls, all of which have \fBtype\fR
set to \s-1NULL\s0. This is done when the default cipher parameters are not
appropriate.
For \s-1EVP_CIPH_GCM_MODE\s0 the \s-1IV\s0 will be generated internally if it is not
specified.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_EncryptUpdate()\fR encrypts \fBinl\fR bytes from the buffer \fBin\fR and
writes the encrypted version to \fBout\fR. 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 \fBout\fR should contain sufficient
room. The actual number of bytes written is placed in \fBoutl\fR. It also
checks if \fBin\fR and \fBout\fR are partially overlapping, and if they are
0 is returned to indicate failure.
.PP
If padding is enabled (the default) then \fIEVP_EncryptFinal_ex()\fR encrypts
the \*(L"final\*(R" data, that is any data that remains in a partial block.
It uses standard block padding (aka \s-1PKCS\s0 padding) as described in
the \s-1NOTES\s0 section, below. The encrypted
final data is written to \fBout\fR which should have sufficient space for
one cipher block. The number of bytes written is placed in \fBoutl\fR. After
this function is called the encryption operation is finished and no further
calls to \fIEVP_EncryptUpdate()\fR should be made.
.PP
If padding is disabled then \fIEVP_EncryptFinal_ex()\fR 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
\&\fIEVP_DecryptInit_ex()\fR, \fIEVP_DecryptUpdate()\fR and \fIEVP_DecryptFinal_ex()\fR are the
corresponding decryption operations. \fIEVP_DecryptFinal()\fR 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 \fBout\fR
passed to \fIEVP_DecryptUpdate()\fR should have sufficient room for
(\fBinl\fR + cipher_block_size) bytes unless the cipher block size is 1 in
which case \fBinl\fR bytes is sufficient.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CipherInit_ex()\fR, \fIEVP_CipherUpdate()\fR and \fIEVP_CipherFinal_ex()\fR are
functions that can be used for decryption or encryption. The operation
performed depends on the value of the \fBenc\fR 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).
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset()\fR clears all information from a cipher context
and free up any allocated memory associate with it, except the \fBctx\fR
itself. This function should be called anytime \fBctx\fR is to be reused
for another \fIEVP_CipherInit()\fR / \fIEVP_CipherUpdate()\fR / \fIEVP_CipherFinal()\fR
series of calls.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_EncryptInit()\fR, \fIEVP_DecryptInit()\fR and \fIEVP_CipherInit()\fR behave in a
similar way to \fIEVP_EncryptInit_ex()\fR, \fIEVP_DecryptInit_ex()\fR and
\&\fIEVP_CipherInit_ex()\fR except they always use the default cipher implementation.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_EncryptFinal()\fR, \fIEVP_DecryptFinal()\fR and \fIEVP_CipherFinal()\fR are
identical to \fIEVP_EncryptFinal_ex()\fR, \fIEVP_DecryptFinal_ex()\fR and
\&\fIEVP_CipherFinal_ex()\fR. In previous releases they also cleaned up
the \fBctx\fR, but this is no longer done and \fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_clean()\fR
must be called to free any context resources.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_Cipher()\fR encrypts or decrypts a maximum \fIinl\fR amount of bytes from
\&\fIin\fR and leaves the result in \fIout\fR.
If the cipher doesn't have the flag \fB\s-1EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER\s0\fR set,
then \fIinl\fR must be a multiple of \fIEVP_CIPHER_block_size()\fR. If it isn't,
the result is undefined. If the cipher has that flag set, then \fIinl\fR
can be any size.
This function is historic and shouldn't be used in an application, please
consider using \fIEVP_CipherUpdate()\fR and EVP_CipherFinal_ex instead.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_get_cipherbyname()\fR, \fIEVP_get_cipherbynid()\fR and \fIEVP_get_cipherbyobj()\fR
return an \s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0 structure when passed a cipher name, a \s-1NID\s0 or an
\&\s-1ASN1_OBJECT\s0 structure.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_nid()\fR and \fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_nid()\fR return the \s-1NID\s0 of a cipher when
passed an \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0\fR or \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER_CTX\s0\fR structure. The actual \s-1NID\s0
value is an internal value which may not have a corresponding \s-1OBJECT\s0
\&\s-1IDENTIFIER\s0.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding()\fR enables or disables padding. This
function should be called after the context is set up for encryption
or decryption with \fIEVP_EncryptInit_ex()\fR, \fIEVP_DecryptInit_ex()\fR or
\&\fIEVP_CipherInit_ex()\fR. By default encryption operations are padded using
standard block padding and the padding is checked and removed when
decrypting. If the \fBpad\fR 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
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_get_params()\fR retrieves the requested list of algorithm
\&\fBparams\fR from a \fBcipher\fR.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_params()\fR Sets the list of operation \fBparams\fR into a \s-1CIPHER\s0
context \fBctx\fR.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_params()\fR retrieves the requested list of operation
\&\fBparams\fR from \s-1CIPHER\s0 context \fBctx\fR.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_gettable_params()\fR, \fIEVP_CIPHER_gettable_ctx_params()\fR, and
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_settable_ctx_params()\fR get a constant \fB\s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\fR array
that describes the retrievable and settable parameters, i.e. parameters
that can be used with \fIEVP_CIPHER_get_params()\fR, \fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_params()\fR
and \fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_params()\fR, respectively.
See \s-1\fIOSSL_PARAM\s0\fR\|(3) for the use of \fB\s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\fR as parameter descriptor.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_key_length()\fR and \fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length()\fR return the key
length of a cipher when passed an \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0\fR or \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER_CTX\s0\fR
structure. The constant \fB\s-1EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH\s0\fR is the maximum key length
for all ciphers. Note: although \fIEVP_CIPHER_key_length()\fR is fixed for a
given cipher, the value of \fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length()\fR may be different
for variable key length ciphers.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length()\fR 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
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_iv_length()\fR and \fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length()\fR return the \s-1IV\s0
length of a cipher when passed an \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0\fR or \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER_CTX\s0\fR.
It will return zero if the cipher does not use an \s-1IV\s0. The constant
\&\fB\s-1EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH\s0\fR is the maximum \s-1IV\s0 length for all ciphers.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_tag_length()\fR returns the tag length of a \s-1AEAD\s0 cipher when passed
a \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER_CTX\s0\fR. It will return zero if the cipher does not support a tag.
It returns a default value if the tag length has not been set.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_block_size()\fR and \fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_block_size()\fR return the block
size of a cipher when passed an \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0\fR or \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER_CTX\s0\fR
structure. The constant \fB\s-1EVP_MAX_BLOCK_LENGTH\s0\fR is also the maximum block
length for all ciphers.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_type()\fR and \fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_type()\fR return the type of the passed
cipher or context. This \*(L"type\*(R" is the actual \s-1NID\s0 of the cipher \s-1OBJECT\s0
\&\s-1IDENTIFIER\s0 as such it ignores the cipher parameters and 40 bit \s-1RC2\s0 and
128 bit \s-1RC2\s0 have the same \s-1NID\s0. If the cipher does not have an object
identifier or does not have \s-1ASN1\s0 support this function will return
\&\fBNID_undef\fR.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_is_a()\fR returns 1 if \fIcipher\fR is an implementation of an
algorithm that's identifiable with \fIname\fR, otherwise 0.
If \fIcipher\fR is a legacy cipher (it's the return value from the likes
of \fIEVP_aes128()\fR rather than the result of an \fIEVP_CIPHER_fetch()\fR), only
cipher names registered with the default library context (see
\&\s-1\fIOPENSSL_CTX\s0\fR\|(3)) will be considered.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_number()\fR returns the internal dynamic number assigned to
the \fIcipher\fR. This is only useful with fetched \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0\fRs.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_name()\fR and \fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_name()\fR return the name of the passed
cipher or context. For fetched ciphers with multiple names, only one
of them is returned; it's recommended to use \fIEVP_CIPHER_names_do_all()\fR

depending on the mode specified.
.PP
To specify additional authenticated data (\s-1AAD\s0), a call to \fIEVP_CipherUpdate()\fR,
\&\fIEVP_EncryptUpdate()\fR or \fIEVP_DecryptUpdate()\fR should be made with the output
parameter \fBout\fR set to \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR.

Sets the \s-1IV\s0 length. This call can only be made before specifying an \s-1IV\s0. If
not called a default \s-1IV\s0 length is used.
.Sp
For \s-1GCM\s0 \s-1AES\s0 and \s-1OCB\s0 \s-1AES\s0 the default is 12 (i.e. 96 bits). For \s-1OCB\s0 mode the

The tag length can only be set before specifying an \s-1IV\s0.
\&\f(CW\*(C`taglen\*(C'\fR must be between 1 and 16 inclusive.
.Sp
For \s-1GCM\s0, this call is only valid when decrypting data.
.Sp
For \s-1OCB\s0, this call is valid when decrypting data to set the expected tag,
and before encryption to set the desired tag length.
.Sp
In \s-1OCB\s0 mode, calling this before encryption with \f(CW\*(C`tag\*(C'\fR set to \f(CW\*(C`NULL\*(C'\fR sets the
tag length. If this is not called prior to encryption, a default tag length is
used.
.Sp
For \s-1OCB\s0 \s-1AES\s0, the default tag length is 16 (i.e. 128 bits). It is also the
maximum tag length for \s-1OCB\s0.

The tag length is often referred to as \fBM\fR. If not set a default value is

.IX Subsection "SIV Mode"
For \s-1SIV\s0 mode ciphers the behaviour of the \s-1EVP\s0 interface is subtly

.PP
To specify any additional authenticated data (\s-1AAD\s0) and/or a Nonce, a call to
\&\fIEVP_CipherUpdate()\fR, \fIEVP_EncryptUpdate()\fR or \fIEVP_DecryptUpdate()\fR should be made
with the output parameter \fBout\fR set to \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR.
.PP

other \s-1AAD\s0.
.PP
When decrypting the return value of \fIEVP_DecryptFinal()\fR or \fIEVP_CipherFinal()\fR
indicates if the operation was successful. If it does not indicate success
the authentication operation has failed and any output data \fB\s-1MUST\s0 \s-1NOT\s0\fR
be used as it is corrupted.

.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
Where possible the \fB\s-1EVP\s0\fR 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. Additionally, the
\&\fB\s-1EVP\s0\fR interface will ensure the use of platform specific cryptographic
acceleration such as AES-NI (the low level interfaces do not provide the
guarantee).
.PP
\&\s-1PKCS\s0 padding works by adding \fBn\fR padding bytes of value \fBn\fR 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 \fBn\fR 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 \fIEVP_EncryptInit()\fR, \fIEVP_EncryptFinal()\fR, \fIEVP_DecryptInit()\fR,
\&\fIEVP_CipherInit()\fR and \fIEVP_CipherFinal()\fR are obsolete but are retained for
compatibility with existing code. New code should use \fIEVP_EncryptInit_ex()\fR,
\&\fIEVP_EncryptFinal_ex()\fR, \fIEVP_DecryptInit_ex()\fR, \fIEVP_DecryptFinal_ex()\fR,
\&\fIEVP_CipherInit_ex()\fR and \fIEVP_CipherFinal_ex()\fR because they can reuse an
existing context without allocating and freeing it up on each call.
.PP
There are some differences between functions \fIEVP_CipherInit()\fR and
\&\fIEVP_CipherInit_ex()\fR, significant in some circumstances. \fIEVP_CipherInit()\fR fills
the passed context object with zeros. As a consequence, \fIEVP_CipherInit()\fR does
not allow step-by-step initialization of the ctx when the \fIkey\fR and \fIiv\fR are
passed in separate calls. It also means that the flags set for the \s-1CTX\s0 are
removed, and it is especially important for the
\&\fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER_CTX_FLAG_WRAP_ALLOW\s0\fR flag treated specially in
\&\fIEVP_CipherInit_ex()\fR.

Support for \s-1OCB\s0 mode was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
.PP
\&\fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER_CTX\s0\fR was made opaque in OpenSSL 1.1.0. As a result,
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset()\fR appeared and \fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup()\fR
disappeared. \fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_init()\fR remains as an alias for
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset()\fR.
.PP
The \fIEVP_CIPHER_fetch()\fR, \fIEVP_CIPHER_free()\fR, \fIEVP_CIPHER_up_ref()\fR,
\&\fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_params()\fR and \fIEVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_params()\fR functions
were added in 3.0.
