See L<provider(7)> 58for further information. 59 60The CIPHER operation enables providers to implement cipher algorithms and make 61them available to applications via the API functions L<EVP_EncryptInit_ex(3)>, 62L<EVP_EncryptUpdate(3)> and L<EVP_EncryptFinal(3)> (as well as the decrypt 63equivalents and other related functions). 64 65All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between 66F<libcrypto> and the provider in L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> arrays via 67L<OSSL_ALGORITHM(3)> arrays that are returned by the provider's 68provider_query_operation() function 69(see L<provider-base(7)/Provider Functions>). 70 71All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition 72named B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn>, and a helper function to retrieve the 73function pointer from an L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> element named 74B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}>. 75For example, the "function" OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx() has these: 76 77 typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx_fn)(void *provctx); 78 static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx_fn 79 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf); 80 81L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as 82macros in L<openssl-core_dispatch.h(7)>, as follows: 83 84 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_NEWCTX 85 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_freectx OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_FREECTX 86 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_dupctx OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_DUPCTX 87 88 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_ENCRYPT_INIT 89 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_DECRYPT_INIT 90

cipher algorithm implementation may not implement all of these functions. 103In order to be a consistent set of functions there must at least be a complete 104set of "encrypt" functions, or a complete set of "decrypt" functions, or a 105single "cipher" function. 106In all cases both the OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx and OSSL_FUNC_cipher_freectx functions must be 107present. 108All other functions are optional. 109 110=head2 Context Management Functions 111 112OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx() should create and return a pointer to a provider side 113structure for holding context information during a cipher operation. 114A pointer to this context will be passed back in a number of the other cipher 115operation function calls. 116The parameter I<provctx> is the provider context generated during provider 117initialisation (see L<provider(7)>). 118 119OSSL_FUNC_cipher_freectx() is passed a pointer to the provider side cipher context in 120the I<cctx> parameter. 121This function should free any resources associated with that context. 122 123OSSL_FUNC_cipher_dupctx() should duplicate the provider side cipher context in the 124I<cctx> parameter and return the duplicate copy. 125 126=head2 Encryption/Decryption Functions 127 128OSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init() initialises a cipher operation for encryption given a 129newly created provider side cipher context in the I<cctx> parameter. 130The key to be used is given in I<key> which is I<keylen> bytes long. 131The IV to be used is given in I<iv> which is I<ivlen> bytes long. 132The I<params>, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to 133using OSSL_FUNC_cipher_set_ctx_params(). 134 135OSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init() is the same as OSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init() except that it 136initialises the context for a decryption operation. 137 138OSSL_FUNC_cipher_update() is called to supply data to be encrypted/decrypted as part of 139a previously initialised cipher operation. 140The I<cctx> parameter contains a pointer to a previously initialised provider 141side context. 142OSSL_FUNC_cipher_update() should encrypt/decrypt I<inl> bytes of data at the location 143pointed to by I<in>. 144The encrypted data should be stored in I<out> and the amount of data written to 145I<*outl> which should not exceed I<outsize> bytes. 146OSSL_FUNC_cipher_update() may be called multiple times for a single cipher operation. 147It is the responsibility of the cipher implementation to handle input lengths 148that are not multiples of the block length. 149In such cases a cipher implementation will typically cache partial blocks of 150input data until a complete block is obtained. 151I<out> may be the same location as I<in> but it should not partially overlap. 152The same expectations apply to I<outsize> as documented for 153L<EVP_EncryptUpdate(3)> and L<EVP_DecryptUpdate(3)>. 154 155OSSL_FUNC_cipher_final() completes an encryption or decryption started through previous 156OSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init() or OSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init(), and OSSL_FUNC_cipher_update() 157calls. 158The I<cctx> parameter contains a pointer to the provider side context. 159Any final encryption/decryption output should be written to I<out> and the 160amount of data written to I<*outl> which should not exceed I<outsize> bytes. 161The same expectations apply to I<outsize> as documented for 162L<EVP_EncryptFinal(3)> and L<EVP_DecryptFinal(3)>. 163 164OSSL_FUNC_cipher_cipher() performs encryption/decryption using the provider side cipher 165context in the I<cctx> parameter that should have been previously initialised via 166a call to OSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init() or OSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init(). 167This should call the raw underlying cipher function without any padding. 168This will be invoked in the provider as a result of the application calling 169L<EVP_Cipher(3)>. 170The application is responsible for ensuring that the input is a multiple of the 171block length. 172The data to be encrypted/decrypted will be in I<in>, and it will be I<inl> bytes 173in length. 174The output from the encryption/decryption should be stored in I<out> and the 175amount of data stored should be put in I<*outl> which should be no more than 176I<outsize> bytes. 177 178=head2 Cipher Parameters 179 180See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for further details on the parameters structure used by 181these functions. 182 183OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_params() gets details of the algorithm implementation 184and stores them in I<params>. 185 186OSSL_FUNC_cipher_set_ctx_params() sets cipher operation parameters for the 187provider side cipher context I<cctx> to I<params>. 188Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set. 189Passing NULL for I<params> should return true. 190 191OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_ctx_params() gets cipher operation details details from 192the given provider side cipher context I<cctx> and stores them in I<params>. 193Passing NULL for I<params> should return true. 194 195OSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_params(), OSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_ctx_params(), 196and OSSL_FUNC_cipher_settable_ctx_params() all return constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> 197arrays as descriptors of the parameters that OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_params(), 198OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_ctx_params(), and OSSL_FUNC_cipher_set_ctx_params() 199can handle, respectively. OSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_ctx_params() and 200OSSL_FUNC_cipher_settable_ctx_params() will return the parameters associated 201with the provider side context I<cctx> in its current state if it is 202not NULL. Otherwise, they return the parameters associated with the 203provider side algorithm I<provctx>. 204 205Parameters currently recognised by built-in ciphers are listed in 206L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)/PARAMETERS>. 207Not all parameters are relevant to, or are understood by all ciphers. 208 209=head1 RETURN VALUES 210 211OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx() and OSSL_FUNC_cipher_dupctx() should return the newly created 212provider side cipher context, or NULL on failure. 213 214OSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init(), OSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init(), OSSL_FUNC_cipher_update(), 215OSSL_FUNC_cipher_final(), OSSL_FUNC_cipher_cipher(), OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_params(), 216OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_cipher_set_ctx_params() should return 1 for 217success or 0 on error. 218 219OSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_params(), OSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_ctx_params() and 220OSSL_FUNC_cipher_settable_ctx_params() should return a constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> 221array, or NULL if none is offered. 222 223=head1 SEE ALSO 224 225L<provider(7)>, L<OSSL_PROVIDER-FIPS(7)>, L<OSSL_PROVIDER-default(7)>, 226L<OSSL_PROVIDER-legacy(7)>, 227L<EVP_CIPHER-AES(7)>, L<EVP_CIPHER-ARIA(7)>, L<EVP_CIPHER-BLOWFISH(7)>, 228L<EVP_CIPHER-CAMELLIA(7)>, L<EVP_CIPHER-CAST(7)>, L<EVP_CIPHER-CHACHA(7)>, 229L<EVP_CIPHER-DES(7)>, L<EVP_CIPHER-IDEA(7)>, L<EVP_CIPHER-RC2(7)>, 230L<EVP_CIPHER-RC4(7)>, L<EVP_CIPHER-RC5(7)>, L<EVP_CIPHER-SEED(7)>, 231L<EVP_CIPHER-SM4(7)>, L<EVP_CIPHER-NULL(7)>, 232L<life_cycle-cipher(7)>, L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)> 233 234=head1 HISTORY 235 236The provider CIPHER interface was introduced in OpenSSL 3.0. 237 238=head1 COPYRIGHT 239 240Copyright 2019-2023 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
