DESCRIPTION
All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
Applications should instead use the OSSL_PROVIDER APIs.
The EVP_CIPHER type is a structure for symmetric cipher method
implementation.
EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) creates a new EVP_CIPHER structure.
EVP_CIPHER_meth_dup() creates a copy of cipher.
EVP_CIPHER_meth_free() destroys a EVP_CIPHER structure. If the
argument is NULL, nothing is done.
EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_iv_length() sets the length of the IV. This is
only needed when the implemented cipher mode requires it.
EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_flags() sets the flags to describe optional
behaviours in the particular cipher. With the exception of cipher
modes, of which only one may be present, several flags can be or'd
together. The available flags are:
EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER, 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, EVP_CIPH_OCB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_SIV_MODE
The cipher mode.
EVP_CIPH_VARIABLE_LENGTH
This cipher is of variable length.
EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV
Storing and initialising the IV is left entirely to the
implementation.
EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
Set this if the implementation's init() function should be called
even if key is NULL.
EVP_CIPH_CTRL_INIT
Set this to have the implementation's ctrl() function called with
command code EVP_CTRL_INIT early in its setup.
EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_KEY_LENGTH
Checking and setting the key length after creating the EVP_CIPHER
is left to the implementation. Whenever someone uses
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() on a EVP_CIPHER with this flag set,
the implementation's ctrl() function will be called with the
control code EVP_CTRL_SET_KEY_LENGTH and the key length in arg.
EVP_CIPH_NO_PADDING
Don't use standard block padding.
EVP_CIPH_RAND_KEY
Making a key with random content is left to the implementation.
This is done by calling the implementation's ctrl() function with
the control code EVP_CTRL_RAND_KEY and the pointer to the key
memory storage in ptr.
EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_COPY
Set this to have the implementation's ctrl() function called with
command code EVP_CTRL_COPY at the end of EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy().
The intended use is for further things to deal with after the
implementation specific data block has been copied. The
destination EVP_CIPHER_CTX is passed to the control with the ptr
parameter. The implementation specific data block is reached with
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data().
EVP_CIPH_FLAG_DEFAULT_ASN1
Use the default EVP routines to pass IV to and from ASN.1.
EVP_CIPH_FLAG_LENGTH_BITS
Signals that the length of the input buffer for encryption /
decryption is to be understood as the number of bits instead of
bytes for this implementation. This is only useful for CFB1
ciphers.
EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CTS
Indicates that the cipher uses ciphertext stealing. This is
currently used to indicate that the cipher is a one shot that only
allows a single call to EVP_CipherUpdate().
EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER
This indicates that the implementation takes care of everything,
including padding, buffering and finalization. The EVP routines
will simply give them control and do nothing more.
EVP_CIPH_FLAG_AEAD_CIPHER
This indicates that this is an AEAD cipher implementation.
EVP_CIPH_FLAG_TLS1_1_MULTIBLOCK
Allow interleaving of crypto blocks, a particular optimization only
applicable to certain TLS ciphers.
EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_impl_ctx_size() sets the size of the EVP_CIPHER's
implementation context so that it can be automatically allocated.
EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_init() sets the cipher init function for cipher.
The cipher init function is called by EVP_CipherInit(),
EVP_CipherInit_ex(), EVP_EncryptInit(), EVP_EncryptInit_ex(),
EVP_DecryptInit(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex().
EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_do_cipher() sets the cipher function for cipher.
The cipher function is called by EVP_CipherUpdate(),
EVP_EncryptUpdate(), EVP_DecryptUpdate(), EVP_CipherFinal(),
EVP_EncryptFinal(), EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(), EVP_DecryptFinal() and
EVP_DecryptFinal_ex().
EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_cleanup() sets the function for cipher to do extra
cleanup before the method's private data structure is cleaned out and
freed. Note that the cleanup function is passed a EVP_CIPHER_CTX *,
the private data structure is then available with
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data(). This cleanup function is called by
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free().
EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_set_asn1_params() sets the function for cipher to
set the AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter" based on the passed cipher.
This function is called by EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1().
EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_get_asn1_params() sets the function for cipher that
sets the cipher parameters based on an ASN.1 AlgorithmIdentifier
"parameter". Both these functions are needed when there is a need for
custom data (more or other than the cipher IV). They are called by
EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1() and EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() respectively
if defined.
EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_ctrl() sets the control function for cipher.
EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_init(), EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_do_cipher(),
EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_set_asn1_params(),
EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_get_asn1_params() and EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_ctrl()
are all used to retrieve the method data given with the
EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_*() functions above.
RETURN VALUES
EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) and EVP_CIPHER_meth_dup() return a pointer to a
newly created EVP_CIPHER, or NULL on failure. All
EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_*() functions return 1. All
EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_*() functions return pointers to their respective
cipher function.

HISTORY
All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
The functions described here were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0. The
EVP_CIPHER structure created with these functions became reference
counted in OpenSSL 3.0.
