.Sh DESCRIPTION
The EVP cipher routines are a high level interface to certain symmetric
ciphers.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new
creates a new, empty cipher context.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset
clears all information from
.Fa ctx
and frees all allocated memory associated with it, except the
.Fa ctx
object itself, such that it can be reused for another series of calls to
.Fn EVP_CipherInit ,
.Fn EVP_CipherUpdate ,
and
.Fn EVP_CipherFinal .
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free
clears all information from
.Fa ctx
and frees all allocated memory associated with it, including
.Fa ctx
itself.
This function should be called after all operations using a cipher
are complete, so sensitive information does not remain in memory.
If
.Fa ctx
is a
.Dv NULL
pointer, no action occurs.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy
calls
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset
on
.Fa out
and copies all the data from
.Fa in
to
.Fa out ,
except that the
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
object used by
.Fa in
and any application specific data set with
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_app_data 3
are not copied and
.Fa out
will point to the same two objects.
The algorithm- and implementation-specific cipher data described in
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data 3
is copied with
.Xr malloc 3
and
.Xr memcpy 3 ,
i.e. assuming that it does not contain pointers to any sub-objects.
If the bit
.Dv EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_COPY
has been set with
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_flags 3 ,
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl 3
is called at the end with arguments
.Fa in ,
.Dv EVP_CTRL_COPY ,
.No 0 ,
and
.Fa out
such that the cipher implementation can perform further algorithm-
and implementation-specific initializations after the algorithm-
and implementation-specific cipher data has been copied.
Among the cipher algorithms built into the library,
.Dv EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_COPY
and
.Dv EVP_CTRL_COPY
are used by some of the ciphers documented in the
.Xr EVP_aes_256_gcm 3
manual page.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_EncryptInit
and
.Fn EVP_EncryptInit_ex
set up the cipher context
.Fa ctx
for encryption with cipher
.Fa type .
.Fa type
is normally supplied by a function such as
.Xr EVP_aes_256_cbc 3 .
.Fa key
is the symmetric key to use and
.Fa iv
is the IV to use (if necessary).
The actual number of bytes used for the
key and IV depends on the cipher.
The
.Fa ENGINE *engine
argument is always ignored and passing
.Dv NULL
is recommended.
It is possible to set all parameters to
.Dv NULL
except
.Fa type
in an initial call and supply the remaining parameters in subsequent
calls, all of which have
.Fa type
set to
.Dv NULL .
This is done when the default cipher parameters are not appropriate.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_EncryptUpdate
encrypts
.Fa in_len
bytes from the buffer
.Fa in
and writes the encrypted version to
.Fa out .
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
.Pq Fa in_len No + cipher_block_size - 1
so
.Fa out
should contain sufficient room.
The actual number of bytes written is placed in
.Pf * Fa out_len .
.Pp
If padding is enabled (the default) then
.Fn EVP_EncryptFinal
and
.Fn EVP_EncryptFinal_ex ,
which behave identically,
encrypt the "final" data, that is any data that remains in a partial
block.
It uses NOTES (aka PKCS padding).
The encrypted final data is written to
.Fa out
which should have sufficient space for one cipher block.
The number of bytes written is placed in
.Pf * Fa out_len .
After this function is called, the encryption operation is finished and
no further calls to
.Fn EVP_EncryptUpdate
should be made.
.Pp
If padding is disabled then
.Fn EVP_EncryptFinal
and
.Fn EVP_EncryptFinal_ex
do not encrypt any more data and 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
.Fn EVP_DecryptInit ,
.Fn EVP_DecryptInit_ex ,
.Fn EVP_DecryptUpdate ,
.Fn EVP_DecryptFinal ,
and
.Fn EVP_DecryptFinal_ex
are the corresponding decryption operations.
.Fn EVP_DecryptFinal
and
.Fn EVP_DecryptFinal_ex
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
.Fa out
passed to
.Fn EVP_DecryptUpdate
should have sufficient room for
.Pq Fa in_len No + cipher_block_size
bytes unless the cipher block size is 1 in which case
.Fa in_len
bytes is sufficient.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CipherInit ,
.Fn EVP_CipherInit_ex ,
.Fn EVP_CipherUpdate ,
.Fn EVP_CipherFinal ,
and
.Fn EVP_CipherFinal_ex
are functions that can be used for decryption or encryption.
The operation performed depends on the value of the
.Fa enc
parameter.
It should be set to 1 for encryption, 0 for decryption and -1 to leave
the value unchanged (the actual value of
.Fa enc
being supplied in a previous call).
.Pp
.Fn EVP_get_cipherbyname ,
.Fn EVP_get_cipherbynid ,
and
.Fn EVP_get_cipherbyobj
return an
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
structure when passed a cipher name, a NID or an
.Vt ASN1_OBJECT
structure.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cipher
returns the
.Vt EVP_CIPHER
structure when passed an
.Vt EVP_CIPHER_CTX
structure.
.Pp
Where possible the EVP 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.
.Pp
PKCS padding works by adding n padding bytes of value n 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 n 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
.Fn EVP_get_cipherbynid
and
.Fn EVP_get_cipherbyobj
are implemented as macros.
