It is the starting state for any life-cycle transitions. .IP "newed" 4 .IX Item "newed" This state represents the \s-1CIPHER\s0 after it has been allocated. .IP "initialised" 4 .IX Item "initialised" These states represent the \s-1CIPHER\s0 when it is set up and capable of processing input. There are three possible initialised states: .RS 4 .IP "initialised using EVP_CipherInit" 4 .IX Item "initialised using EVP_CipherInit" .PD 0 .IP "initialised for decryption using EVP_DecryptInit" 4 .IX Item "initialised for decryption using EVP_DecryptInit" .IP "initialised for encryption using EVP_EncryptInit" 4 .IX Item "initialised for encryption using EVP_EncryptInit" .RE .RS 4 .RE .IP "updated" 4 .IX Item "updated" .PD These states represent the \s-1CIPHER\s0 when it is set up and capable of processing additional input or generating output. The three possible states directly correspond to those for initialised above. The three different streams should not be mixed. .IP "finaled" 4 .IX Item "finaled" This state represents the \s-1CIPHER\s0 when it has generated output. .IP "freed" 4 .IX Item "freed" This state is entered when the \s-1CIPHER\s0 is freed. It is the terminal state for all life-cycle transitions. .SS "State Transition Diagram" .IX Subsection "State Transition Diagram" The usual life-cycle of a \s-1CIPHER\s0 is illustrated: +---------------------------+ | | | start | | | +---------------------------+ + - - - - - - - - - - - - - + | ' any of the initialised ' | EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new ' updated or finaled states ' v ' ' +---------------------------+ + - - - - - - - - - - - - - + | | | | newed | | EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset | | <----+ +---------------------------+ | | | +---------+ | +---------+ EVP_DecryptInit | | EVP_CipherInit | EVP_EncryptInit v v v +---------------------------+ +---------------------------+ +---------------------------+ | | | | | | | initialised | | initialised | | initialised | | for decryption | | | | for encryption | +---------------------------+ +---------------------------+ +---------------------------+ | | | | EVP_DecryptUpdate | EVP_CipherUpdate EVP_EncryptUpdate | | v | | +---------------------------+ | | | |--------------------+ | | | updated | EVP_CipherUpdate | | | | | <------------------+ | v +---------------------------+ v +---------------------------+ | +---------------------------+ | |---------------------+ | | | | updated | EVP_DecryptUpdate | | | updated |------+ | for decryption | <-------------------+ | | for encryption | | +---------------------------+ | +---------------------------+ | | EVP_CipherFinal | | ^ | +-------+ | +--------+ | | EVP_DecryptFinal | | | EVP_EncryptFinal +-------------------+ v v v EVP_EncryptUpdate +---------------------------+ | |-----------------------------+ | finaled | | | | <---------------------------+ +---------------------------+ EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_params | (AEAD encryption) | EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free v +---------------------------+ | | | freed | | | +---------------------------+ .SS "Formal State Transitions" .IX Subsection "Formal State Transitions" This section defines all of the legal state transitions.
