give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use the \s-1OSSL_PROVIDER\s0 APIs.

The \s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0 type is a structure for symmetric cipher method implementation.

\fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_new() creates a new \s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0 structure.

\fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_dup() creates a copy of cipher.

\fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_free() destroys a \s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0 structure.

\fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_set_iv_length() sets the length of the \s-1IV.\s0 This is only needed when the implemented cipher mode requires it.

\fBEVP_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:

"\s-1EVP_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\s0" 4
Item "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.
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_VARIABLE_LENGTH\s0" 4
Item "EVP_CIPH_VARIABLE_LENGTH" This cipher is of variable length.
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV\s0" 4
Item "EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV" Storing and initialising the \s-1IV\s0 is left entirely to the implementation.
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT\s0" 4
Item "EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT" Set this if the implementation's init() function should be called even if key is \s-1NULL\s0.
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_CTRL_INIT\s0" 4
Item "EVP_CIPH_CTRL_INIT" Set this to have the implementation's ctrl() function called with command code \s-1EVP_CTRL_INIT\s0 early in its setup.
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_KEY_LENGTH\s0" 4
Item "EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_KEY_LENGTH" Checking and setting the key length after creating the \s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0 is left to the implementation. Whenever someone uses EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() on a \fB\s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0 with this flag set, the implementation's ctrl() function will be called with the control code \s-1EVP_CTRL_SET_KEY_LENGTH\s0 and the key length in arg.
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_NO_PADDING\s0" 4
Item "EVP_CIPH_NO_PADDING" Don't use standard block padding.
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_RAND_KEY\s0" 4
Item "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 \s-1EVP_CTRL_RAND_KEY\s0 and the pointer to the key memory storage in ptr.
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_COPY\s0" 4
Item "EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_COPY" Set this to have the implementation's ctrl() function called with command code \s-1EVP_CTRL_COPY\s0 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 \s-1EVP_CIPHER_CTX\s0 is passed to the control with the \fBptr parameter. The implementation specific data block is reached with \fBEVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data().
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_FLAG_DEFAULT_ASN1\s0" 4
Item "EVP_CIPH_FLAG_DEFAULT_ASN1" Use the default \s-1EVP\s0 routines to pass \s-1IV\s0 to and from \s-1ASN.1.\s0
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_FLAG_LENGTH_BITS\s0" 4
Item "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 \s-1CFB1\s0 ciphers.
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CTS\s0" 4
Item "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 \fBEVP_CipherUpdate().
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER\s0" 4
Item "EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER" This indicates that the implementation takes care of everything, including padding, buffering and finalization. The \s-1EVP\s0 routines will simply give them control and do nothing more.
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_FLAG_AEAD_CIPHER\s0" 4
Item "EVP_CIPH_FLAG_AEAD_CIPHER" This indicates that this is an \s-1AEAD\s0 cipher implementation.
"\s-1EVP_CIPH_FLAG_TLS1_1_MULTIBLOCK\s0" 4
Item "EVP_CIPH_FLAG_TLS1_1_MULTIBLOCK" Allow interleaving of crypto blocks, a particular optimization only applicable to certain \s-1TLS\s0 ciphers.

\fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_set_impl_ctx_size() sets the size of the \s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0's implementation context so that it can be automatically allocated.

\fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_set_init() sets the cipher init function for \fBcipher. The cipher init function is called by EVP_CipherInit(), \fBEVP_CipherInit_ex(), EVP_EncryptInit(), EVP_EncryptInit_ex(), \fBEVP_DecryptInit(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex().

\fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_set_do_cipher() sets the cipher function for \fBcipher. The cipher function is called by EVP_CipherUpdate(), \fBEVP_EncryptUpdate(), EVP_DecryptUpdate(), EVP_CipherFinal(), \fBEVP_EncryptFinal(), EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(), EVP_DecryptFinal() and \fBEVP_DecryptFinal_ex().

\fBEVP_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 \s-1EVP_CIPHER_CTX\s0 *, the private data structure is then available with \fBEVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data(). This cleanup function is called by EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset() and \fBEVP_CIPHER_CTX_free().

\fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_set_set_asn1_params() sets the function for cipher to set the AlgorithmIdentifier \*(L"parameter\*(R" based on the passed cipher. This function is called by EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1(). \fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_set_get_asn1_params() sets the function for cipher that sets the cipher parameters based on an \s-1ASN.1\s0 AlgorithmIdentifier \*(L"parameter\*(R". Both these functions are needed when there is a need for custom data (more or other than the cipher \s-1IV\s0). They are called by EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1() and \fBEVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() respectively if defined.

\fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_set_ctrl() sets the control function for cipher.

\fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_get_init(), EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_do_cipher(), \fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_get_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_set_asn1_params(), \fBEVP_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"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_new() and EVP_CIPHER_meth_dup() return a pointer to a newly created \s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0, or \s-1NULL\s0 on failure. All EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_*() functions return 1. All EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_*() functions return pointers to their respective cipher function.
