| 34 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
| 35 | .Fn BIO_f_cipher | ||
| 36 | returns the cipher BIO method. | ||
| 37 | This is a filter BIO that encrypts any data written through it, | ||
| 38 | and decrypts any data read from it. | ||
| 39 | It is a BIO wrapper for the cipher routines | ||
| 40 | .Xr EVP_CipherInit 3 , | ||
| 41 | .Xr EVP_CipherUpdate 3 , | ||
| 42 | and | ||
| 43 | .Xr EVP_CipherFinal 3 . | ||
| 44 | .Pp | ||
| 45 | Cipher BIOs do not support | ||
| 46 | .Xr BIO_gets 3 | ||
| 47 | or | ||
| 48 | .Xr BIO_puts 3 . | ||
| 49 | .Pp | ||
| 50 | .Xr BIO_flush 3 | ||
| 51 | on an encryption BIO that is being written through | ||
| 52 | is used to signal that no more data is to be encrypted: | ||
| 53 | this is used to flush and possibly pad the final block through the BIO. | ||
| 54 | .Pp | ||
| 55 | .Fn BIO_set_cipher | ||
| 56 | sets the cipher of BIO | ||
| 57 | .Fa b | ||
| 58 | to | ||
| 59 | .Fa cipher | ||
| 60 | using key | ||
| 61 | .Fa key | ||
| 62 | and IV | ||
| 63 | .Fa iv . | ||
| 64 | .Fa enc | ||
| 65 | should be set to 1 for encryption and zero for decryption. | ||
| 66 | .Pp | ||
| 67 | When reading from an encryption BIO, the final block is automatically | ||
| 68 | decrypted and checked when EOF is detected. | ||
| 69 | .Fn BIO_get_cipher_status | ||
| 70 | is a | ||
| 71 | .Xr BIO_ctrl 3 | ||
| 72 | macro which can be called to determine | ||
| 73 | whether the decryption operation was successful. | ||
| 74 | .Pp | ||
| 75 | .Fn BIO_get_cipher_ctx | ||
| 76 | is a | ||
| 77 | .Xr BIO_ctrl 3 | ||
| 78 | macro which retrieves the internal BIO cipher context. | ||
| 79 | The retrieved context can be used in conjunction | ||
| 80 | with the standard cipher routines to set it up. | ||
| 81 | This is useful when | ||
| 82 | .Fn BIO_set_cipher | ||
| 83 | is not flexible enough for the applications needs. | ||
| 84 | .Sh NOTES | ||
| 85 | When encrypting, | ||
| 86 | .Xr BIO_flush 3 | ||
| 87 | must be called to flush the final block through the BIO. | ||
| 88 | If it is not, then the final block will fail a subsequent decrypt. | ||
| 89 | .Pp | ||
| 90 | When decrypting, an error on the final block is signalled | ||
| 91 | by a zero return value from the read operation. | ||
| 92 | A successful decrypt followed by EOF | ||
| 93 | will also return zero for the final read. | ||
| 94 | .Fn BIO_get_cipher_status | ||
| 95 | should be called to determine if the decrypt was successful. | ||
| 96 | .Pp | ||
| 97 | As always, if | ||
| 98 | .Xr BIO_gets 3 | ||
| 99 | or | ||
| 100 | .Xr BIO_puts 3 | ||
| 101 | support is needed, then it can be achieved | ||
| 102 | by preceding the cipher BIO with a buffering BIO. | ||
| 103 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | ||
| 104 | .Fn BIO_f_cipher | ||
| 105 | returns the cipher BIO method. | ||
| 106 | .Pp | ||
| 107 | .Fn BIO_set_cipher | ||
| 108 | does not return a value. | ||
| 109 | .Pp | ||
| 110 | .Fn BIO_get_cipher_status | ||
| 111 | returns 1 for a successful decrypt and 0 for failure. | ||
| 112 | .Pp | ||
| 113 | .Fn BIO_get_cipher_ctx | ||
| 114 | currently always returns 1. | ||
