The EVP cipher routines are a high level interface to certain
symmetric ciphers.
-EVP_EncryptInit() initialises a cipher context B<ctx> for encryption
-with cipher B<type>. B<type> is normally supplied by a function such
-as EVP_des_cbc() . B<key> is the symmetric key to use and B<iv> is the
-IV to use (if necessary), the actual number of bytes used for the
-key and IV depends on the cipher. It is possible to set all parameters
-to NULL except B<type> in an initial call and supply the remaining
-parameters in subsequent calls. This is normally done when the
-EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() function is called to set the cipher
-parameters from an ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier and the key from a
-different source.
+EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init() initializes cipher contex B<ctx>.
+
+EVP_EncryptInit_ex() sets up cipher context B<ctx> for encryption
+with cipher B<type> from ENGINE B<impl>. B<ctx> must be initialized
+before calling this function. B<type> is normally supplied
+by a function such as EVP_des_cbc(). If B<impl> is NULL then the
+default implementation is used. B<key> is the symmetric key to use
+and B<iv> is the IV to use (if necessary), the actual number of bytes
+used for the key and IV depends on the cipher. It is possible to set
+all parameters to NULL except B<type> in an initial call and supply
+the remaining parameters in subsequent calls, all of which have B<type>
+set to NULL. This is done when the default cipher parameters are not
+appropriate.
EVP_EncryptUpdate() encrypts B<inl> bytes from the buffer B<in> and
writes the encrypted version to B<out>. This function can be called
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 (inl + cipher_block_size - 1) so B<outl> should contain sufficient
-room. The actual number of bytes written is placed in B<outl>.
+room. The actual number of bytes written is placed in B<outl>.
-EVP_EncryptFinal() encrypts the "final" data, that is any data that
-remains in a partial block. It uses L<standard block padding|/NOTES> (aka PKCS
-padding). The encrypted final data is written to B<out> which should
-have sufficient space for one cipher block. The number of bytes written
-is placed in B<outl>. After this function is called the encryption operation
-is finished and no further calls to EVP_EncryptUpdate() should be made.
+If padding is enabled (the default) then EVP_EncryptFinal_ex() encrypts
+the "final" data, that is any data that remains in a partial block.
+It uses L<standard block padding|/NOTES> (aka PKCS padding). The encrypted
+final data is written to B<out> which should have sufficient space for
+one cipher block. The number of bytes written is placed in B<outl>. After
+this function is called the encryption operation is finished and no further
+calls to EVP_EncryptUpdate() should be made.
-EVP_DecryptInit(), EVP_DecryptUpdate() and EVP_DecryptFinal() are the
-corresponding decryption operations. EVP_DecryptFinal() will return an
-error code if the final block is not correctly formatted. The parameters
-and restrictions are identical to the encryption operations except that
-the decrypted data buffer B<out> passed to EVP_DecryptUpdate() should
-have sufficient room for (B<inl> + cipher_block_size) bytes unless the
-cipher block size is 1 in which case B<inl> bytes is sufficient.
-
-EVP_CipherInit(), EVP_CipherUpdate() and EVP_CipherFinal() are functions
-that can be used for decryption or encryption. The operation performed
-depends on the value of the B<enc> parameter. It should be set to 1 for
-encryption and 0 for decryption.
+If padding is disabled then EVP_EncryptFinal_ex() will not encrypt any more
+data and it will 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.
-EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() clears all information from a cipher context.
-It should be called after all operations using a cipher are complete
-so sensitive information does not remain in memory.
+EVP_DecryptInit_ex(), EVP_DecryptUpdate() and EVP_DecryptFinal_ex() are the
+corresponding decryption operations. EVP_DecryptFinal() will 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 B<out>
+passed to EVP_DecryptUpdate() should have sufficient room for
+(B<inl> + cipher_block_size) bytes unless the cipher block size is 1 in
+which case B<inl> bytes is sufficient.
+
+EVP_CipherInit_ex(), EVP_CipherUpdate() and EVP_CipherFinal_ex() are
+functions that can be used for decryption or encryption. The operation
+performed depends on the value of the B<enc> parameter. It should be set
+to 1 for encryption, 0 for decryption and -1 to leave the value unchanged
+(the actual value of 'enc' being supplied in a previous call).
+
+EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() clears all information from a cipher context
+and free up any allocated memory associate with it. It should be called
+after all operations using a cipher are complete so sensitive information
+does not remain in memory.
+
+EVP_EncryptInit(), EVP_DecryptInit() and EVP_CipherInit() behave in a
+similar way to EVP_EncryptInit_ex(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex and
+EVP_CipherInit_ex() except the B<ctx> paramter does not need to be
+initialized and they always use the default cipher implementation.
+
+EVP_EncryptFinal(), EVP_DecryptFinal() and EVP_CipherFinal() behave in a
+similar way to EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(), EVP_DecryptFinal_ex() and
+EVP_CipherFinal_ex() except B<ctx> is automatically cleaned up
+after the call.
EVP_get_cipherbyname(), EVP_get_cipherbynid() and EVP_get_cipherbyobj()
return an EVP_CIPHER structure when passed a cipher name, a NID or an
value is an internal value which may not have a corresponding OBJECT
IDENTIFIER.
+EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() enables or disables padding. By default
+encryption operations are padded using standard block padding and the
+padding is checked and removed when decrypting. If the B<pad> parameter
+is zero then no padding is performed, the total amount of data encrypted
+or decrypted must then be a multiple of the block size or an error will
+occur.
+
EVP_CIPHER_key_length() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length() return the key
length of a cipher when passed an B<EVP_CIPHER> or B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX>
structure. The constant B<EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH> is the maximum key length
-for all ciphers.
+for all ciphers. Note: although EVP_CIPHER_key_length() is fixed for a
+given cipher, the value of EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length() may be different
+for variable key length ciphers.
+
+EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() sets the key length of the cipher ctx.
+If the cipher is a fixed length cipher then attempting to set the key
+length to any value other than the fixed value is an error.
EVP_CIPHER_iv_length() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length() return the IV
length of a cipher when passed an B<EVP_CIPHER> or B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX>.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cipher() returns the B<EVP_CIPHER> structure when passed
an B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> structure.
+EVP_CIPHER_mode() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_mode() return the block cipher mode:
+EVP_CIPH_ECB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CBC_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CFB_MODE or
+EVP_CIPH_OFB_MODE. If the cipher is a stream cipher then
+EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER is returned.
+
EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1() sets the AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter" based
on the passed cipher. This will typically include any parameters and an
IV. The cipher IV (if any) must be set when this call is made. This call
EVP_CipherInit() again with all parameters except the key set to NULL. It is
possible for this function to fail if the cipher does not have any ASN1 support
or the parameters cannot be set (for example the RC2 effective key length
-does not have an B<EVP_CIPHER> structure).
+is not supported.
+
+EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl() allows various cipher specific parameters to be determined
+and set. Currently only the RC2 effective key length and the number of rounds of
+RC5 can be set.

=head1 NOTES
Where possible the B<EVP> interface to symmetric ciphers should be used in
When decrypting the final block is checked to see if it has the correct form.
-Although the decryption operation can produce an error, 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.
+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.
+
+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.
+
+The functions EVP_EncryptInit(), EVP_EncryptFinal(), EVP_DecryptInit(),
+EVP_CipherInit() and EVP_CipherFinal() are obsolete but are retained for
+compatibility with existing code. New code should use EVP_EncryptInit_ex(),
+EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex(), EVP_DecryptFinal_ex(),
+EVP_CipherInit_ex() and EVP_CipherFinal_ex() because they can reuse an
+existing context without allocating and freeing it up on each call.
=head1 BUGS
-The current B<EVP> cipher interface is not as flexible as it should be. Only
-certain "spot" encryption algorithms can be used for ciphers which have various
-parameters associated with them (RC2, RC5 for example) this is inadequate.
+For RC5 the number of rounds can currently only be set to 8, 12 or 16. This is
+a limitation of the current RC5 code rather than the EVP interface.
+
+EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH and EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH only refer to the internal ciphers with
+default key lengths. If custom ciphers exceed these values the results are
+unpredictable. This is because it has become standard practice to define a
+generic key as a fixed unsigned char array containing EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH bytes.
+
+The ASN1 code is incomplete (and sometimes inaccurate) it has only been tested
+for certain common S/MIME ciphers (RC2, DES, triple DES) in CBC mode.
