| 3 | =head1 NAME | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | EVP_SealInit, EVP_SealUpdate, EVP_SealFinal - EVP envelope encryption | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | =head1 SYNOPSIS | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | #include <openssl/evp.h> | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | int EVP_SealInit(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, EVP_CIPHER *type, unsigned char **ek, | ||
| 12 | int *ekl, unsigned char *iv,EVP_PKEY **pubk, int npubk); | ||
| 13 | void EVP_SealUpdate(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out, | ||
| 14 | int *outl, unsigned char *in, int inl); | ||
| 15 | void EVP_SealFinal(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out, | ||
| 16 | int *outl); | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | The EVP envelope routines are a high level interface to envelope | ||
| 21 | encryption. They generate a random key and then "envelope" it by | ||
| 22 | using public key encryption. Data can then be encrypted using this | ||
| 23 | key. | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | EVP_SealInit() initialises a cipher context B<ctx> for encryption | ||
| 26 | with cipher B<type> using a random secret key and IV supplied in | ||
| 27 | the B<iv> parameter. B<type> is normally supplied by a function such | ||
| 28 | as EVP_des_cbc(). The secret key is encrypted using one or more public | ||
| 29 | keys, this allows the same encrypted data to be decrypted using any | ||
| 30 | of the corresponding private keys. B<ek> is an array of buffers where | ||
| 31 | the public key encrypted secret key will be written, each buffer must | ||
| 32 | contain enough room for the corresponding encrypted key: that is | ||
| 33 | B<ek[i]> must have room for B<EVP_PKEY_size(pubk[i])> bytes. The actual | ||
| 34 | size of each encrypted secret key is written to the array B<ekl>. B<pubk> is | ||
| 35 | an array of B<npubk> public keys. | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | EVP_SealUpdate() and EVP_SealFinal() have exactly the same properties | ||
| 38 | as the EVP_EncryptUpdate() and EVP_EncryptFinal() routines, as | ||
| 39 | documented on the L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)|EVP_EncryptInit(3)> manual | ||
| 40 | page. | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | =head1 RETURN VALUES | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | EVP_SealInit() returns -1 on error or B<npubk> if successful. | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | EVP_SealUpdate() and EVP_SealFinal() do not return values. | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | =head1 NOTES | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | Because a random secret key is generated the random number generator | ||
| 51 | must be seeded before calling EVP_SealInit(). | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | The public key must be RSA because it is the only OpenSSL public key | ||
| 54 | algorithm that supports key transport. | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | Envelope encryption is the usual method of using public key encryption | ||
| 57 | on large amounts of data, this is because public key encryption is slow | ||
| 58 | but symmetric encryption is fast. So symmetric encryption is used for | ||
| 59 | bulk encryption and the small random symmetric key used is transferred | ||
| 60 | using public key encryption. | ||
