The BI<...> functions provide message digests. - -The BI<...> functions provide a high level interface to -asymmetric algorithms. - -Algorithms are loaded with OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(3). - -All the symmetric algorithms (ciphers), digests and asymmetric algorithms -(public key algorithms) can be replaced by ENGINE modules providing alternative -implementations. If ENGINE implementations of ciphers or digests are registered -as defaults, then the various EVP functions will automatically use those -implementations automatically in preference to built in software -implementations. For more information, consult the engine(3) man page. - -Although low level algorithm specific functions exist for many algorithms -their use is discouraged. They cannot be used with an ENGINE and ENGINE -versions of new algorithms cannot be accessed using the low level functions. -Also makes code harder to adapt to new algorithms and some options are not -cleanly supported at the low level and some operations are more efficient -using the high level interface. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L, -L, -L, -L, -L, -L, -L, -L - -=cut -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g6feb
