DESCRIPTION
The EVP cipher routines are a high level interface to certain symmetric ciphers.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init() initializes cipher contex ctx.
EVP_EncryptInit_ex() sets up cipher context ctx for encryption with cipher type from
ENGINE impl. ctx must be initialized before calling this function. type is normally
supplied by a function such as EVP_des_cbc(). 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 standard block padding (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_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() clears all information from a cipher context and free up any
allocated memory associate with it. It should be called after all operations using a
cipher are complete so sensitive information does not remain in memory.
EVP_EncryptInit(), EVP_DecryptInit() and EVP_CipherInit() behave in a similar way to
EVP_EncryptInit_ex(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex and EVP_CipherInit_ex() except the ctx parameter
does not need to be initialized and they always use the default cipher implementation.
EVP_EncryptFinal(), EVP_DecryptFinal() and EVP_CipherFinal() behave in a similar way to
EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(), EVP_DecryptFinal_ex() and EVP_CipherFinal_ex() except ctx is
automatically cleaned up after the call.
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_nid() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_nid() return the NID of a cipher when passed an
EVP_CIPHER or EVP_CIPHER_CTX structure. The actual NID value is an internal value which
may not have a corresponding OBJECT IDENTIFIER.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() enables or disables padding. By default encryption operations
are padded using standard block padding and the padding is checked and removed when
decrypting. If the pad parameter is zero then no padding is performed, the total amount of
data encrypted or decrypted must then be a multiple of the block size or an error will
occur.
EVP_CIPHER_key_length() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length() return the key length of a cipher
when passed an EVP_CIPHER or EVP_CIPHER_CTX structure. The constant EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH is
the maximum key length for all ciphers. Note: although EVP_CIPHER_key_length() is fixed
for a given cipher, the value of EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length() may be different for variable
key length ciphers.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() sets the key length of the cipher ctx. If the cipher is a
fixed length cipher then attempting to set the key length to any value other than the
fixed value is an error.
EVP_CIPHER_iv_length() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length() return the IV length of a cipher
when passed an EVP_CIPHER or EVP_CIPHER_CTX. It will return zero if the cipher does not
use an IV. The constant EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH is the maximum IV length for all ciphers.
EVP_CIPHER_block_size() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_block_size() return the block size of a cipher
when passed an EVP_CIPHER or EVP_CIPHER_CTX structure. The constant EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH is
also the maximum block length for all ciphers.
EVP_CIPHER_type() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_type() return the type of the passed cipher or
context. This "type" is the actual NID of the cipher OBJECT IDENTIFIER as such it ignores
the cipher parameters and 40 bit RC2 and 128 bit RC2 have the same NID. If the cipher does
not have an object identifier or does not have ASN1 support this function will return
NID_undef.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cipher() returns the EVP_CIPHER structure when passed an EVP_CIPHER_CTX
structure.
EVP_CIPHER_mode() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_mode() return the block cipher mode:
EVP_CIPH_ECB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CBC_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CFB_MODE or EVP_CIPH_OFB_MODE. If the
cipher is a stream cipher then EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER is returned.
EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1() sets the AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter" based on the passed
cipher. This will typically include any parameters and an IV. The cipher IV (if any) must
be set when this call is made. This call should be made before the cipher is actually
"used" (before any EVP_EncryptUpdate(), EVP_DecryptUpdate() calls for example). This
function may fail if the cipher does not have any ASN1 support.
EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() sets the cipher parameters based on an ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier
"parameter". The precise effect depends on the cipher In the case of RC2, for example, it
will set the IV and effective key length. This function should be called after the base
cipher type is set but before the key is set. For example EVP_CipherInit() will be called
with the IV and key set to NULL, EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() will be called and finally
EVP_CipherInit() again with all parameters except the key set to NULL. It is possible for
this function to fail if the cipher does not have any ASN1 support or the parameters
cannot be set (for example the RC2 effective key length is not supported.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl() allows various cipher specific parameters to be determined and set.
Currently only the RC2 effective key length and the number of rounds of RC5 can be set.

the key length is set to 128 bits and 12 rounds.
NOTES
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. Additionally, the EVP interface will ensure the use of platform
specific cryptographic acceleration such as AES-NI (the low level interfaces do not
provide the guarantee).
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.
BUGS
For RC5 the number of rounds can currently only be set to 8, 12 or 16. This is a
limitation of the current RC5 code rather than the EVP interface.
EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH and EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH only refer to the internal ciphers with default
key lengths. If custom ciphers exceed these values the results are unpredictable. This is
because it has become standard practice to define a generic key as a fixed unsigned char
array containing EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH bytes.
The ASN1 code is incomplete (and sometimes inaccurate) it has only been tested for certain
common S/MIME ciphers (RC2, DES, triple DES) in CBC mode.
EXAMPLES
Encrypt a string using IDEA:
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};
char intext[] = "Some Crypto Text";
EVP_CIPHER_CTX ctx;
FILE *out;
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init(&ctx);
EVP_EncryptInit_ex(&ctx, EVP_idea_cbc(), NULL, key, iv);
if(!EVP_EncryptUpdate(&ctx, outbuf, &outlen, intext, strlen(intext)))
{
/* Error */
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 */
return 0;
}
outlen += tmplen;
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup(&ctx);
/* Need binary mode for fopen because encrypted data is
* binary data. Also cannot use strlen() on it because
* it wont be null terminated and may contain embedded
* nulls.
*/
out = fopen(outfile, "wb");
fwrite(outbuf, 1, outlen, out);
fclose(out);
return 1;
}
The ciphertext from the above example can be decrypted using the openssl utility with the
command line (shown on two lines for clarity):
openssl idea -d <filename
-K 000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F -iv 0102030405060708
General encryption and 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";
/* Don't set key or IV right away; we want to check lengths */
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init(&ctx);
EVP_CipherInit_ex(&ctx, EVP_aes_128_cbc(), NULL, NULL, NULL,
do_encrypt);
OPENSSL_assert(EVP_CIPHER_CTX_key_length(&ctx) == 16);
OPENSSL_assert(EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length(&ctx) == 16);
/* Now we can set key and IV */
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_cleanup(&ctx);
return 0;
}
fwrite(outbuf, 1, outlen, out);
}
if(!EVP_CipherFinal_ex(&ctx, outbuf, &outlen))
{
/* Error */
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup(&ctx);
