12 #include <openssl/evp.h>
13

18=head1 DESCRIPTION
19
20The RC4 stream cipher for EVP.
21
22=over 4
23
24=item EVP_rc4()
25
26RC4 stream cipher. This is a variable key length cipher with a default key
27length of 128 bits.
28
29=item EVP_rc4_40()
30
31RC4 stream cipher with 40 bit key length.
32
33WARNING: this function is obsolete. Its usage should be replaced with the
34EVP_rc4() and the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() functions.
35
36=item EVP_rc4_hmac_md5()
37
38Authenticated encryption with the RC4 stream cipher with MD5 as HMAC.
39
40WARNING: this is not intended for usage outside of TLS and requires calling of
41some undocumented ctrl functions. These ciphers do not conform to the EVP AEAD
42interface.

45
46=head1 RETURN VALUES
47
48These functions return an B<EVP_CIPHER> structure that contains the
49implementation of the symmetric cipher. See L<EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3)> for
50details of the B<EVP_CIPHER> structure.
