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'.

Title "EVP_SEALINIT 3ossl" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
EVP_SealInit, EVP_SealUpdate, EVP_SealFinal - EVP envelope encryption Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/evp.h> \& int EVP_SealInit(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, const EVP_CIPHER *type, unsigned char **ek, int *ekl, unsigned char *iv, EVP_PKEY **pubk, int npubk); int EVP_SealUpdate(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out, int *outl, unsigned char *in, int inl); int EVP_SealFinal(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out, int *outl); .Ve Header "DESCRIPTION" The \s-1EVP\s0 envelope routines are a high-level interface to envelope encryption. They generate a random key and \s-1IV\s0 (if required) then \*(L"envelope\*(R" it by using public key encryption. Data can then be encrypted using this key.

\fBEVP_SealInit() initializes a cipher context ctx for encryption with cipher type using a random secret key and \s-1IV.\s0 type is normally supplied by a function such as EVP_aes_256_cbc(). The secret key is encrypted using one or more public keys, this allows the same encrypted data to be decrypted using any of the corresponding private keys. ek is an array of buffers where the public key encrypted secret key will be written, each buffer must contain enough room for the corresponding encrypted key: that is \fBek[i] must have room for EVP_PKEY_get_size(pubk[i]) bytes. The actual size of each encrypted secret key is written to the array ekl. pubk is an array of npubk public keys.

The iv parameter is a buffer where the generated \s-1IV\s0 is written to. It must contain enough room for the corresponding cipher's \s-1IV,\s0 as determined by (for example) EVP_CIPHER_get_iv_length(type).

If the cipher does not require an \s-1IV\s0 then the iv parameter is ignored and can be \s-1NULL\s0.

\fBEVP_SealUpdate() and EVP_SealFinal() have exactly the same properties as the EVP_EncryptUpdate() and EVP_EncryptFinal() routines, as documented on the EVP_EncryptInit\|(3) manual page.

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBEVP_SealInit() returns 0 on error or npubk if successful.

\fBEVP_SealUpdate() and EVP_SealFinal() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.

Header "NOTES" Because a random secret key is generated the random number generator must be seeded when EVP_SealInit() is called. If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL \s-1CSPRNG\s0 fails due to external circumstances (see \s-1RAND\s0\|(7)), the operation will fail.

The public key must be \s-1RSA\s0 because it is the only OpenSSL public key algorithm that supports key transport.

Envelope encryption is the usual method of using public key encryption on large amounts of data, this is because public key encryption is slow but symmetric encryption is fast. So symmetric encryption is used for bulk encryption and the small random symmetric key used is transferred using public key encryption.

It is possible to call EVP_SealInit() twice in the same way as \fBEVP_EncryptInit(). The first call should have npubk set to 0 and (after setting any cipher parameters) it should be called again with type set to \s-1NULL.\s0
