70=head1 DESCRIPTION
71
72All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
73Applications should instead use the OSSL_PROVIDER APIs.
74
75The B<EVP_CIPHER> type is a structure for symmetric cipher method
76implementation.
77
78EVP_CIPHER_meth_new() creates a new B<EVP_CIPHER> structure.
79
80EVP_CIPHER_meth_dup() creates a copy of B<cipher>.
81
82EVP_CIPHER_meth_free() destroys a B<EVP_CIPHER> structure.
83
84EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_iv_length() sets the length of the IV.
85This is only needed when the implemented cipher mode requires it.
86
87EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_flags() sets the flags to describe optional
88behaviours in the particular B<cipher>.
89With the exception of cipher modes, of which only one may be present,
90several flags can be or'd together.
91The available flags are:
92
93=over 4
94
95=item EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER, EVP_CIPH_ECB_MODE EVP_CIPH_CBC_MODE,
96EVP_CIPH_CFB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_OFB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CTR_MODE, EVP_CIPH_GCM_MODE,
97EVP_CIPH_CCM_MODE, EVP_CIPH_XTS_MODE, EVP_CIPH_WRAP_MODE,
98EVP_CIPH_OCB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_SIV_MODE
99
100The cipher mode.
101
102=item EVP_CIPH_VARIABLE_LENGTH
103
104This cipher is of variable length.
105
106=item EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV
107
108Storing and initialising the IV is left entirely to the
109implementation.
110
111=item EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
112
113Set this if the implementation's init() function should be called even
114if B<key> is B<NULL>.
115
116=item EVP_CIPH_CTRL_INIT
117
118Set this to have the implementation's ctrl() function called with
119command code B<EVP_CTRL_INIT> early in its setup.
120
121=item EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_KEY_LENGTH
122
123Checking and setting the key length after creating the B<EVP_CIPHER>
124is left to the implementation.
125Whenever someone uses EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() on a
126B<EVP_CIPHER> with this flag set, the implementation's ctrl() function
127will be called with the control code B<EVP_CTRL_SET_KEY_LENGTH> and
128the key length in B<arg>.
129
130=item EVP_CIPH_NO_PADDING
131
132Don't use standard block padding.
133
134=item EVP_CIPH_RAND_KEY
135
136Making a key with random content is left to the implementation.
137This is done by calling the implementation's ctrl() function with the
138control code B<EVP_CTRL_RAND_KEY> and the pointer to the key memory
139storage in B<ptr>.
140
141=item EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_COPY
142
143Set this to have the implementation's ctrl() function called with
144command code B<EVP_CTRL_COPY> at the end of EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy().
145The intended use is for further things to deal with after the
146implementation specific data block has been copied.
147The destination B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> is passed to the control with the
148B<ptr> parameter.
149The implementation specific data block is reached with
150EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data().
151
152=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_DEFAULT_ASN1
153
154Use the default EVP routines to pass IV to and from ASN.1.
155
156=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_LENGTH_BITS
157
158Signals that the length of the input buffer for encryption /
159decryption is to be understood as the number of bits instead of
160bytes for this implementation.
161This is only useful for CFB1 ciphers.
162
163=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CTS
164
165Indicates that the cipher uses ciphertext stealing. This is currently
166used to indicate that the cipher is a one shot that only allows a single call to
167EVP_CipherUpdate().
168
169=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER
170
171This indicates that the implementation takes care of everything,
172including padding, buffering and finalization.
173The EVP routines will simply give them control and do nothing more.
174
175=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_AEAD_CIPHER
176
177This indicates that this is an AEAD cipher implementation.
178
179=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_TLS1_1_MULTIBLOCK
180
181Allow interleaving of crypto blocks, a particular optimization only applicable
182to certain TLS ciphers.
183
184=back
185
186EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_impl_ctx_size() sets the size of the EVP_CIPHER's
187implementation context so that it can be automatically allocated.
188
189EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_init() sets the cipher init function for
190B<cipher>.
191The cipher init function is called by EVP_CipherInit(),
192EVP_CipherInit_ex(), EVP_EncryptInit(), EVP_EncryptInit_ex(),
193EVP_DecryptInit(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex().
194
195EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_do_cipher() sets the cipher function for
196B<cipher>.
197The cipher function is called by EVP_CipherUpdate(),
198EVP_EncryptUpdate(), EVP_DecryptUpdate(), EVP_CipherFinal(),
199EVP_EncryptFinal(), EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(), EVP_DecryptFinal() and
200EVP_DecryptFinal_ex().
201
202EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_cleanup() sets the function for B<cipher> to do
203extra cleanup before the method's private data structure is cleaned
204out and freed.
205Note that the cleanup function is passed a B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX *>, the
206private data structure is then available with
207EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data().
208This cleanup function is called by EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset() and
209EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free().
210
211EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_set_asn1_params() sets the function for B<cipher>
212to set the AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter" based on the passed cipher.
213This function is called by EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1().
214EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_get_asn1_params() sets the function for B<cipher>
215that sets the cipher parameters based on an ASN.1 AlgorithmIdentifier
216"parameter".
217Both these functions are needed when there is a need for custom data
218(more or other than the cipher IV).
219They are called by EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1() and
220EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() respectively if defined.
221
222EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_ctrl() sets the control function for B<cipher>.
223
224EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_init(), EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_do_cipher(),
225EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_set_asn1_params(),
226EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_get_asn1_params() and EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_ctrl()
227are all used to retrieve the method data given with the
228EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_*() functions above.
229
230=head1 RETURN VALUES
231
232EVP_CIPHER_meth_new() and EVP_CIPHER_meth_dup() return a pointer to a
233newly created B<EVP_CIPHER>, or NULL on failure.
234All EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_*() functions return 1.
235All EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_*() functions return pointers to their
236respective B<cipher> function.

242=head1 HISTORY
243
244All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
245
246The functions described here were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
247The B<EVP_CIPHER> structure created with these functions became reference
248counted in OpenSSL 3.0.
