=head1 DESCRIPTION
The EVP cipher routines are a high level interface to certain
symmetric ciphers.
+EVP_CIPHER_fetch() fetches the cipher implementation for the given
+B<algorithm> from any provider offering it, within the criteria given
+by the B<properties>.
+See L<provider(7)/Fetching algorithms> for further information.
+
+The returned value must eventually be freed with
+L<EVP_CIPHER_meth_free(3)>.
+
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() creates a cipher context.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() clears all information from a cipher context
memory.
EVP_EncryptInit_ex() sets up cipher context B<ctx> for encryption
-with cipher B<type> from ENGINE B<impl>. B<ctx> must be created
-before calling this function. B<type> is normally supplied
-by a function such as EVP_aes_256_cbc(). If B<impl> is NULL then the
-default implementation is used. B<key> is the symmetric key to use
+with cipher B<type>. B<type> is typically supplied by a function such
+as EVP_aes_256_cbc(), or a value explicitly fetched with
+EVP_CIPHER_fetch(). If B<impl> is non-NULL, its implementation of the
+cipher B<type> is used if there is one, and if not, 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.
+For EVP_CIPH_GCM_MODE the IV will be generated internally if it is not
+specified.
EVP_EncryptUpdate() encrypts B<inl> bytes from the buffer B<in> and
writes the encrypted version to B<out>. This function can be called
identifier or does not have ASN1 support this function will return
B<NID_undef>.
+EVP_CIPHER_name() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_name() return the name of the passed
+cipher or context.
+
+EVP_CIPHER_provider() returns an B<OSSL_PROVIDER> pointer to the provider
+that implements the given B<EVP_CIPHER>.
+
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, EVP_CIPH_OFB_MODE,
EVP_CIPH_CTR_MODE, EVP_CIPH_GCM_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CCM_MODE, EVP_CIPH_XTS_MODE,
-EVP_CIPH_WRAP_MODE or EVP_CIPH_OCB_MODE. If the cipher is a stream cipher then
-EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER is returned.
+EVP_CIPH_WRAP_MODE, EVP_CIPH_OCB_MODE or EVP_CIPH_SIV_MODE. If the cipher is a
+stream cipher then EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER is returned.
+
+EVP_CIPHER_flags() returns any flags associated with the cipher. See
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_flags() for a list of currently defined flags.
EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1() sets the AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter" based
on the passed cipher. This will typically include any parameters and an
generation routine to support keys of a specific form. B<Key> must point to a
buffer at least as big as the value returned by EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length().
+EVP_CIPHER_do_all_ex() traverses all ciphers implemented by all activated
+providers in the given library context I<libctx>, and for each of the
+implementations, calls the given function I<fn> with the implementation method
+and the given I<arg> as argument.
+
=head1 RETURN VALUES
+EVP_CIPHER_fetch() returns a pointer to a B<EVP_CIPHER> for success
+and B<NULL> for failure.
+
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() returns a pointer to a newly created
B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> for success and B<NULL> for failure.
This call is made to set the expected B<CCM> tag value when decrypting or
the length of the tag (with the C<tag> parameter set to NULL) when encrypting.
The tag length is often referred to as B<M>. If not set a default value is
-used (12 for AES).
+used (12 for AES). When decrypting, the tag needs to be set before passing
+in data to be decrypted, but as in GCM and OCB mode, it can be set after
+passing additional authenticated data (see L<AEAD Interface>).
=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_CCM_SET_L, ivlen, NULL)
Sets the nonce length. This call can only be made before specifying the nonce.
If not called a default nonce length of 12 (i.e. 96 bits) is used. The maximum
-nonce length is 16 (B<CHACHA_CTR_SIZE>, i.e. 128-bits).
+nonce length is 12 bytes (i.e. 96-bits). If a nonce of less than 12 bytes is set
+then the nonce is automatically padded with leading 0 bytes to make it 12 bytes
+in length.

-Support for OCB mode was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0
+Support for OCB mode was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> was made opaque in OpenSSL 1.1.0. As a result,
