DESCRIPTION
The EVP cipher routines are a high level interface to certain symmetric ciphers.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new()
    creates a new, empty cipher context.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset()
    clears all information from ctx and frees all
    allocated memory associated with it, except the ctx
    object itself, such that it can be reused for another series of calls to
    EVP_CipherInit(),
    EVP_CipherUpdate(), and
    EVP_CipherFinal().
    EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup()
    is a deprecated alias for
  EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset().
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init()
    is a deprecated function to clear a cipher context on the stack before use.
    Do not use it on a cipher context returned from
    EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() or one that was already
  used.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free()
    clears all information from ctx and frees all
    allocated memory associated with it, including ctx
    itself. This function should be called after all operations using a cipher
    are complete, so sensitive information does not remain in memory. If
    ctx is a NULL pointer, no
    action occurs.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy()
    calls EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset() on
    out and copies all the data from
    in to out, except that the
    EVP_CIPHER and ENGINE objects
    used by in and any application specific data set with
    EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_app_data(3) are not copied and
    out will point to the same three objects. The
    algorithm- and implementation-specific cipher data described in
    EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data(3) is copied with
    malloc(3) and
    memcpy(3), i.e. assuming that it does not contain pointers to any
    sub-objects. If the bit EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_COPY has
    been set with
    EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_flags(3),
    EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(3) is called at the end with arguments
    in, EVP_CTRL_COPY,
    0, and out such that the
    cipher implementation can perform further algorithm- and
    implementation-specific initializations after the algorithm- and
    implementation-specific cipher data has been copied. Among the cipher
    algorithms built into the library,
    EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_COPY and
    EVP_CTRL_COPY are used by some of the ciphers
    documented in the
    EVP_aes_256_gcm(3) manual page.
EVP_EncryptInit_ex()
    sets up the cipher context ctx for encryption with
    cipher type from ENGINE
    impl. type is normally supplied
    by a function such as
    EVP_aes_256_cbc(3). If impl is
    NULL, then the default implementation is used.
    key is the symmetric key to use and
    iv is the IV to use (if necessary). The actual number
    of bytes used for the key and IV depends on the cipher. It is possible to
    set all parameters to NULL except
    type in an initial call and supply the remaining
    parameters in subsequent calls, all of which have type
    set to NULL. This is done when the default cipher
    parameters are not appropriate.
EVP_EncryptUpdate()
    encrypts inl bytes from the buffer
    in and writes the encrypted version to
    out. This function can be called multiple times to
    encrypt successive blocks of data. The amount of data written depends on the
    block alignment of the encrypted data: as a result the amount of data
    written may be anything from zero bytes to (inl + cipher_block_size - 1) so
    out should contain sufficient room. The actual number
    of bytes written is placed in outl.
If padding is enabled (the default) then
    EVP_EncryptFinal_ex()
    encrypts the "final" data, that is any data that remains in a
    partial block. It uses NOTES (aka PKCS padding). The encrypted final data is
    written to out which should have sufficient space for
    one cipher block. The number of bytes written is placed in
    outl. After this function is called, the encryption
    operation is finished and no further calls to
    EVP_EncryptUpdate() should be made.
If padding is disabled then
    EVP_EncryptFinal_ex()
    will not encrypt any more data and it will return an error if any data
    remains in a partial block: that is if the total data length is not a
    multiple of the block size.
EVP_DecryptInit_ex(),
    EVP_DecryptUpdate(),
    and
    EVP_DecryptFinal_ex()
    are the corresponding decryption operations.
    EVP_DecryptFinal() will return an error code if
    padding is enabled and the final block is not correctly formatted. The
    parameters and restrictions are identical to the encryption operations
    except that if padding is enabled the decrypted data buffer
    out passed to
    EVP_DecryptUpdate() should have sufficient room for
    (inl + cipher_block_size) bytes unless the cipher block size is 1 in which
    case inl bytes is sufficient.
EVP_CipherInit_ex(),
    EVP_CipherUpdate(), and
    EVP_CipherFinal_ex()
    are functions that can be used for decryption or encryption. The operation
    performed depends on the value of the enc parameter.
    It should be set to 1 for encryption, 0 for decryption and -1 to leave the
    value unchanged (the actual value of enc being
    supplied in a previous call).
EVP_EncryptInit(),
    EVP_DecryptInit(),
    and EVP_CipherInit() are deprecated functions
    behaving like EVP_EncryptInit_ex(),
    EVP_DecryptInit_ex(), and
    EVP_CipherInit_ex() except that they always use the
    default cipher implementation and that they require
    EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset() before they can be used on a
    context that was already used.
EVP_EncryptFinal(),
    EVP_DecryptFinal(), and
    EVP_CipherFinal() are identical to
    EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(),
    EVP_DecryptFinal_ex(), and
    EVP_CipherFinal_ex(). In previous releases of
    OpenSSL, they also used to clean up the ctx, but this
    is no longer done and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset() or
    EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() must be called to free any
    context resources.
EVP_Cipher()
    encrypts or decrypts aligned blocks of data whose lengths match the cipher
    block size. It requires that the previous encryption or decryption operation
    using the same ctx, if there was any, ended exactly on
    a block boundary and that inl is an integer multiple
    of the cipher block size. If either of these conditions is violated,
    EVP_Cipher() silently produces incorrect results.
    For that reason, using the function
    EVP_CipherUpdate() instead is strongly recommended.
    The latter can safely handle partial blocks, and even if
    inl actually is a multiple of the cipher block size
    for all calls, the overhead incurred by using
    EVP_CipherUpdate() is minimal.
EVP_get_cipherbyname(),
    EVP_get_cipherbynid(), and
    EVP_get_cipherbyobj() return an
    EVP_CIPHER structure when passed a cipher name, a NID
    or an ASN1_OBJECT structure.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cipher()
    returns the EVP_CIPHER structure when passed an
    EVP_CIPHER_CTX structure.
Where possible the EVP interface to symmetric ciphers should be used in preference to the low level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes transparent to the cipher used and much more flexible.
PKCS padding works by adding n padding bytes of value n to make the total length of the encrypted data a multiple of the block size. Padding is always added so if the data is already a multiple of the block size n will equal the block size. For example if the block size is 8 and 11 bytes are to be encrypted then 5 padding bytes of value 5 will be added.
When decrypting, the final block is checked to see if it has the correct form.
Although the decryption operation can produce an error if padding is enabled, it is not a strong test that the input data or key is correct. A random block has better than 1 in 256 chance of being of the correct format and problems with the input data earlier on will not produce a final decrypt error.
If padding is disabled then the decryption operation will always succeed if the total amount of data decrypted is a multiple of the block size.
The functions
    EVP_EncryptInit(),
    EVP_EncryptFinal(),
    EVP_DecryptInit(),
    EVP_CipherInit(), and
    EVP_CipherFinal() are obsolete but are retained for
    compatibility with existing code. New code should use
    EVP_EncryptInit_ex(),
    EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(),
    EVP_DecryptInit_ex(),
    EVP_DecryptFinal_ex(),
    EVP_CipherInit_ex(), and
    EVP_CipherFinal_ex() because they can reuse an
    existing context without allocating and freeing it up on each call.
EVP_get_cipherbynid()
    and
    EVP_get_cipherbyobj()
    are implemented as macros.
RETURN VALUES
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() returns a pointer to
    a newly created EVP_CIPHER_CTX for success or
    NULL for failure.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset(),
    EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup(),
    EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(),
    EVP_EncryptInit_ex(),
    EVP_EncryptUpdate(),
    EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(),
    EVP_DecryptInit_ex(),
    EVP_DecryptUpdate(),
    EVP_DecryptFinal_ex(),
    EVP_CipherInit_ex(),
    EVP_CipherUpdate(),
    EVP_CipherFinal_ex(),
    EVP_EncryptInit(),
    EVP_EncryptFinal(),
    EVP_DecryptInit(),
    EVP_DecryptFinal(),
    EVP_CipherInit(),
    EVP_CipherFinal(), and
    EVP_Cipher() return 1 for success or 0 for
  failure.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_encrypting() returns 1 if
    ctx is initialized for encryption or 0 otherwise, in
    which case it may be uninitialized or initialized for decryption.
EVP_get_cipherbyname(),
    EVP_get_cipherbynid(), and
    EVP_get_cipherbyobj() return an
    EVP_CIPHER structure or NULL
    on error.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cipher() returns an
    EVP_CIPHER structure.
CIPHER LISTING
All algorithms have a fixed key length unless otherwise stated.
- EVP_enc_null()
- Null cipher: does nothing.
- EVP_idea_cbc(),- EVP_idea_ecb(),- EVP_idea_cfb64(),- EVP_idea_ofb()
- IDEA encryption algorithm in CBC, ECB, CFB and OFB modes respectively.
      EVP_idea_cfb() is an alias forEVP_idea_cfb64(), implemented as a macro.
- EVP_rc2_cbc(),- EVP_rc2_ecb(),- EVP_rc2_cfb64(),- EVP_rc2_ofb()
- RC2 encryption algorithm in CBC, ECB, CFB and OFB modes respectively. This
      is a variable key length cipher with an additional parameter called
      "effective key bits" or "effective key length". By
      default both are set to 128 bits.
      EVP_rc2_cfb() is an alias forEVP_rc2_cfb64(), implemented as a macro.
- EVP_rc2_40_cbc(),- EVP_rc2_64_cbc()
- RC2 algorithm in CBC mode with a default key length and effective key
      length of 40 and 64 bits. These are obsolete and new code should use
      EVP_rc2_cbc(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length(3), and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(3) to set the key length and effective key length.
- EVP_bf_cbc(),- EVP_bf_ecb(),- EVP_bf_cfb64(),- EVP_bf_ofb()
- Blowfish encryption algorithm in CBC, ECB, CFB and OFB modes respectively.
      This is a variable key length cipher.

      This is a variable key length cipher.
      EVP_cast5_cfb() is an alias forEVP_cast5_cfb64(), implemented as a macro.
See also EVP_aes_128_cbc(3), EVP_camellia_128_cbc(3), EVP_des_cbc(3), EVP_rc4(3), and EVP_sm4_cbc(3).
GCM mode
For GCM mode ciphers, the behaviour of the EVP interface is subtly altered and several additional ctrl operations are supported.
To specify any additional authenticated data
    (AAD), a call to
    EVP_CipherUpdate(),
    EVP_EncryptUpdate(), or
    EVP_DecryptUpdate() should be made with the output
    parameter out set to NULL.
When decrypting, the return value of
    EVP_DecryptFinal()
    or
    EVP_CipherFinal()
    indicates if the operation was successful. If it does not indicate success,
    the authentication operation has failed and any output data MUST NOT be used
    as it is corrupted.
The following ctrls are supported in GCM mode:
- EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_GCM_SET_IVLEN, ivlen, NULL)
- Sets the IV length: this call can only be made before specifying an IV. If not called, a default IV length is used. For GCM AES the default is 12, i.e. 96 bits.
- EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_GCM_GET_TAG, taglen, tag)
- Writes taglen bytes of the tag value to the buffer
      indicated by tag. This call can only be made when
      encrypting data and after all data has been processed, e.g. after an
      EVP_EncryptFinal() call.
- EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_GCM_SET_TAG, taglen, tag)
- Sets the expected tag to taglen bytes from tag. This call is only legal when decrypting data and must be made before any data is processed, e.g. before any EVP_DecryptUpdate call.
CCM mode
The behaviour of CCM mode ciphers is similar to GCM mode, but with a few additional requirements and different ctrl values.
Like GCM mode any additional authenticated
    data (AAD) is passed by calling
    EVP_CipherUpdate(),
    EVP_EncryptUpdate(), or
    EVP_DecryptUpdate() with the output parameter out
    set to NULL. Additionally, the total plaintext or
    ciphertext length MUST be passed to
    EVP_CipherUpdate(),
    EVP_EncryptUpdate(), or
    EVP_DecryptUpdate() with the output and input
    parameters (in and
    out) set to NULL and the
    length passed in the inl parameter.
The following ctrls are supported in CCM mode:
- EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_CCM_SET_TAG, taglen, tag)
- This call is made to set the expected CCM tag value when decrypting or the
      length of the tag (with the tag parameter set to
      NULL) when encrypting. The tag length is often referred to as M. If not set, a default value is used (12 for AES).
- EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_CCM_SET_L, ivlen, NULL)
- Sets the CCM L value. If not set, a default is used (8 for AES).
- EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_CCM_SET_IVLEN, ivlen, NULL)
- Sets the CCM nonce (IV) length: this call can only be made before specifying a nonce value. The nonce length is given by 15 - L so it is 7 by default for AES.
EXAMPLES
Encrypt a string using blowfish:
int
do_crypt(char *outfile)
{
	unsigned char outbuf[1024];
	int outlen, tmplen;
	/*
	 * Bogus key and IV: we'd normally set these from
	 * another source.
	 */
	unsigned char key[] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15};
	unsigned char iv[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8};
	const char intext[] = "Some Crypto Text";
	EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx;
	FILE *out;
	ctx = EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new();
	EVP_EncryptInit_ex(ctx, EVP_bf_cbc(), NULL, key, iv);
	if (!EVP_EncryptUpdate(ctx, outbuf, &outlen, intext,
	    strlen(intext))) {
		/* Error */
		EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free(ctx);
		return 0;
	}
	/*
	 * Buffer passed to EVP_EncryptFinal() must be after data just
	 * encrypted to avoid overwriting it.
	 */
	if (!EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(ctx, outbuf + outlen, &tmplen)) {
		/* Error */
		EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free(ctx);
		return 0;
	}
	outlen += tmplen;
	EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free(ctx);
	/*
	 * Need binary mode for fopen because encrypted data is
	 * binary data. Also cannot use strlen() on it because
	 * it won't be NUL terminated and may contain embedded
	 * NULs.
	 */
	out = fopen(outfile, "wb");
	if (out == NULL) {
		/* Error */
		return 0;
	}
	fwrite(outbuf, 1, outlen, out);
	fclose(out);
	return 1;
}
The ciphertext from the above example can be decrypted using the openssl(1) utility with the command line:
openssl bf -in cipher.bin -K 000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F \
           -iv 0102030405060708 -d
General encryption, decryption function example using FILE I/O and AES128 with a 128-bit key:
int
do_crypt(FILE *in, FILE *out, int do_encrypt)
{
	/* Allow enough space in output buffer for additional block */
	unsigned char inbuf[1024], outbuf[1024 + EVP_MAX_BLOCK_LENGTH];
	int inlen, outlen;
	EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx;
	/*
	 * Bogus key and IV: we'd normally set these from
	 * another source.
	 */
	unsigned char key[] = "0123456789abcdeF";
	unsigned char iv[] = "1234567887654321";
	ctx = EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new();
	EVP_CipherInit_ex(ctx, EVP_aes_128_cbc(), NULL, NULL, NULL,
	    do_encrypt);
	EVP_CipherInit_ex(ctx, NULL, NULL, key, iv, do_encrypt);
	for (;;) {
		inlen = fread(inbuf, 1, 1024, in);
		if (inlen <= 0)
			break;
		if (!EVP_CipherUpdate(ctx, outbuf, &outlen, inbuf,
		    inlen)) {
			/* Error */
			EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free(ctx);
			return 0;
		}
		fwrite(outbuf, 1, outlen, out);
	}
	if (!EVP_CipherFinal_ex(ctx, outbuf, &outlen)) {
		/* Error */
		EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free(ctx);
		return 0;
	}
	fwrite(outbuf, 1, outlen, out);
	EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free(ctx);
	return 1;
