65=head1 DESCRIPTION
66
67The B<EVP_CIPHER> type is a structure for symmetric cipher method
68implementation.
69
70EVP_CIPHER_meth_new() creates a new B<EVP_CIPHER> structure.
71
72EVP_CIPHER_meth_dup() creates a copy of B<cipher>.
73
74EVP_CIPHER_meth_free() destroys a B<EVP_CIPHER> structure.
75
76EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_iv_length() sets the length of the IV.
77This is only needed when the implemented cipher mode requires it.
78
79EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_flags() sets the flags to describe optional
80behaviours in the particular B<cipher>.
81With the exception of cipher modes, of which only one may be present,
82several flags can be or'd together.
83The available flags are:
84
85=over 4
86
87=item EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER, EVP_CIPH_ECB_MODE EVP_CIPH_CBC_MODE,
88EVP_CIPH_CFB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_OFB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CTR_MODE, EVP_CIPH_GCM_MODE,
89EVP_CIPH_CCM_MODE, EVP_CIPH_XTS_MODE, EVP_CIPH_WRAP_MODE,
90EVP_CIPH_OCB_MODE
91
92The cipher mode.
93
94=item EVP_CIPH_VARIABLE_LENGTH
95
96This cipher is of variable length.
97
98=item EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV
99
100Storing and initialising the IV is left entirely to the
101implementation.
102
103=item EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
104
105Set this if the implementation's init() function should be called even
106if B<key> is B<NULL>.
107
108=item EVP_CIPH_CTRL_INIT
109
110Set this to have the implementation's ctrl() function called with
111command code B<EVP_CTRL_INIT> early in its setup.
112
113=item EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_KEY_LENGTH
114
115Checking and setting the key length after creating the B<EVP_CIPHER>
116is left to the implementation.
117Whenever someone uses EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() on a
118B<EVP_CIPHER> with this flag set, the implementation's ctrl() function
119will be called with the control code B<EVP_CTRL_SET_KEY_LENGTH> and
120the key length in B<arg>.
121
122=item EVP_CIPH_NO_PADDING
123
124Don't use standard block padding.
125
126=item EVP_CIPH_RAND_KEY
127
128Making a key with random content is left to the implementation.
129This is done by calling the implementation's ctrl() function with the
130control code B<EVP_CTRL_RAND_KEY> and the pointer to the key memory
131storage in B<ptr>.
132
133=item EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_COPY
134
135Set this to have the implementation's ctrl() function called with
136command code B<EVP_CTRL_COPY> at the end of EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy().
137The intended use is for further things to deal with after the
138implementation specific data block has been copied.
139The destination B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> is passed to the control with the
140B<ptr> parameter.
141The implementation specific data block is reached with
142EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data().
143
144=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_DEFAULT_ASN1
145
146Use the default EVP routines to pass IV to and from ASN.1.
147
148=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_LENGTH_BITS
149
150Signals that the length of the input buffer for encryption /
151decryption is to be understood as the number of bits instead of
152bytes for this implementation.
153This is only useful for CFB1 ciphers.
154
155=begin comment
156The FIPS flags seem to be unused, so I'm hiding them until I get an
157explanation or they get removed.  /RL
158
159=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_FIPS
160
161=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_NON_FIPS_ALLOW
162
163=end comment
164
165=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER
166
167This indicates that the implementation takes care of everything,
168including padding, buffering and finalization.
169The EVP routines will simply give them control and do nothing more.
170
171=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_AEAD_CIPHER
172
173This indicates that this is an AEAD cipher implementation.
174
175=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_TLS1_1_MULTIBLOCK
176
177Allow interleaving of crypto blocks, a particular optimization only applicable
178to certain TLS ciphers.
179
180=back
181
182EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_impl_ctx_size() sets the size of the EVP_CIPHER's
183implementation context so that it can be automatically allocated.
184
185EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_init() sets the cipher init function for
186B<cipher>.
187The cipher init function is called by EVP_CipherInit(),
188EVP_CipherInit_ex(), EVP_EncryptInit(), EVP_EncryptInit_ex(),
189EVP_DecryptInit(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex().
190
191EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_do_cipher() sets the cipher function for
192B<cipher>.
193The cipher function is called by EVP_CipherUpdate(),
194EVP_EncryptUpdate(), EVP_DecryptUpdate(), EVP_CipherFinal(),
195EVP_EncryptFinal(), EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(), EVP_DecryptFinal() and
196EVP_DecryptFinal_ex().
197
198EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_cleanup() sets the function for B<cipher> to do
199extra cleanup before the method's private data structure is cleaned
200out and freed.
201Note that the cleanup function is passed a B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX *>, the
202private data structure is then available with
203EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data().
204This cleanup function is called by EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset() and
205EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free().
206
207EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_set_asn1_params() sets the function for B<cipher>
208to set the AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter" based on the passed cipher.
209This function is called by EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1().
210EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_get_asn1_params() sets the function for B<cipher>
211that sets the cipher parameters based on an ASN.1 AlgorithmIdentifier
212"parameter".
213Both these functions are needed when there is a need for custom data
214(more or other than the cipher IV).
215They are called by EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1() and
216EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() respectively if defined.
217
218EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_ctrl() sets the control function for B<cipher>.
219
220EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_init(), EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_do_cipher(),
221EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_set_asn1_params(),
222EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_get_asn1_params() and EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_ctrl()
223are all used to retrieve the method data given with the
224EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_*() functions above.
225
226=head1 RETURN VALUES
227
228EVP_CIPHER_meth_new() and EVP_CIPHER_meth_dup() return a pointer to a
229newly created B<EVP_CIPHER>, or NULL on failure.
230All EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_*() functions return 1.
231All EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_*() functions return pointers to their
232respective B<cipher> function.
