+=head1 NAME
+
+evp - high-level cryptographic functions
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/evp.h>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The EVP library provided a high-level interface to cryptographic
+functions.
+
+B<EVP_Seal>I<...> and B<EVP_Open>I<...> provide public key encryption
+and decryption to implement digital "envelopes".
+
+The B<EVP_Sign>I<...> and B<EVP_Verify>I<...> functions implement
+digital signatures.
+
+Symmetric encryption is available with the B<EVP_Encrypt>I<...>
+functions.  The B<EVP_Digest>I<...> functions provide message digests.
+
+Algorithms are loaded with OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(3).
