=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The EVP cipher routines are a high level interface to certain
|
|
symmetric ciphers.
|
|
|
|
EVP_EncryptInit() initializes a cipher context B<ctx> for encryption
|
|
with cipher B<type>. B<type> is normally supplied by a function such
|
|
as EVP_des_cbc() . B<key> is the symmetric key to use and B<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 B<type> in an initial call and supply the remaining
|
|
parameters in subsequent calls, all of which have B<type> set to NULL.
|
|
This is done when the default cipher parameters are not appropriate.
|
|
|
|
EVP_EncryptUpdate() encrypts B<inl> bytes from the buffer B<in> and
|
|
writes the encrypted version to B<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 B<outl> should contain sufficient
|
|
room. The actual number of bytes written is placed in B<outl>.
|
|
|
|
If padding is enabled (the default) then EVP_EncryptFinal() encrypts
|
|
the "final" data, that is any data that remains in a partial block.
|
|
It uses L<standard block padding|/NOTES> (aka PKCS padding). The encrypted
|
|
final data is written to B<out> which should have sufficient space for
|
|
one cipher block. The number of bytes written is placed in B<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() 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(), EVP_DecryptUpdate() and EVP_DecryptFinal() 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 B<out>
|
|
passed to EVP_DecryptUpdate() should have sufficient room for
|
|
(B<inl> + cipher_block_size) bytes unless the cipher block size is 1 in
|
|
which case B<inl> bytes is sufficient.
|
|
|
|
EVP_CipherInit(), EVP_CipherUpdate() and EVP_CipherFinal() are functions
|
|
that can be used for decryption or encryption. The operation performed
|
|
depends on the value of the B<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.
|
|
It should be called after all operations using a cipher are complete
|
|
so sensitive information does not remain in memory.
|
|
|
|
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 B<EVP_CIPHER> or B<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 B<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 B<EVP_CIPHER> or B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX>
|
|
structure. The constant B<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 B<EVP_CIPHER> or B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX>.
|
|
It will return zero if the cipher does not use an IV. The constant
|
|
B<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 B<EVP_CIPHER> or B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX>
|
|
structure. The constant B<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
|
|
B<NID_undef>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cipher() returns the B<EVP_CIPHER> structure when passed
|
|
an B<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.
|

=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
Where possible the B<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 B<n> padding bytes of value B<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 B<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_EncryptUpdate(), EVP_EncryptFinal(),
|
|
EVP_DecryptInit(), EVP_DecryptUpdate(), EVP_CipherInit() and EVP_CipherUpdate()
|
|
and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() did not return errors in OpenSSL version 0.9.5a or
|
|
earlier. Software only versions of encryption algorithms will never return
|
|
error codes for these functions, unless there is a programming error (for example
|
|
and attempt to set the key before the cipher is set in EVP_EncryptInit() ).
|
|
|
|
=head1 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.
|
|
|
