DESCRIPTION

       The EVP_CIPHER type is a structure for symmetric cipher method implementation.

       EVP_CIPHER_meth_new() creates a new EVP_CIPHER structure.

       EVP_CIPHER_meth_dup() creates a copy of cipher.

       EVP_CIPHER_meth_free() destroys a EVP_CIPHER structure.

       EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_iv_length() sets the length of the IV.  This is only needed when the
       implemented cipher mode requires it.

       EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_flags() sets the flags to describe optional behaviours in the
       particular cipher.  With the exception of cipher modes, of which only one may be present,
       several flags can be or'd together.  The available flags are:

       EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER, EVP_CIPH_ECB_MODE EVP_CIPH_CBC_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CFB_MODE,
       EVP_CIPH_OFB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CTR_MODE, EVP_CIPH_GCM_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CCM_MODE,
       EVP_CIPH_XTS_MODE, EVP_CIPH_WRAP_MODE, EVP_CIPH_OCB_MODE
           The cipher mode.

       EVP_CIPH_VARIABLE_LENGTH
           This cipher is of variable length.

       EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV
           Storing and initialising the IV is left entirely to the implementation.

       EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
           Set this if the implementation's init() function should be called even if key is NULL.

       EVP_CIPH_CTRL_INIT
           Set this to have the implementation's ctrl() function called with command code
           EVP_CTRL_INIT early in its setup.

       EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_KEY_LENGTH
           Checking and setting the key length after creating the EVP_CIPHER is left to the
           implementation.  Whenever someone uses EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() on a EVP_CIPHER
           with this flag set, the implementation's ctrl() function will be called with the
           control code EVP_CTRL_SET_KEY_LENGTH and the key length in arg.

       EVP_CIPH_NO_PADDING
           Don't use standard block padding.

       EVP_CIPH_RAND_KEY
           Making a key with random content is left to the implementation.  This is done by
           calling the implementation's ctrl() function with the control code EVP_CTRL_RAND_KEY
           and the pointer to the key memory storage in ptr.

       EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_COPY
           Set this to have the implementation's ctrl() function called with command code
           EVP_CTRL_COPY at the end of EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy().  The intended use is for further
           things to deal with after the implementation specific data block has been copied.  The
           destination EVP_CIPHER_CTX is passed to the control with the ptr parameter.  The
           implementation specific data block is reached with EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data().

       EVP_CIPH_FLAG_DEFAULT_ASN1
           Use the default EVP routines to pass IV to and from ASN.1.

       EVP_CIPH_FLAG_LENGTH_BITS
           Signals that the length of the input buffer for encryption / decryption is to be
           understood as the number of bits instead of bytes for this implementation.  This is
           only useful for CFB1 ciphers.

       EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER
           This indicates that the implementation takes care of everything, including padding,
           buffering and finalization.  The EVP routines will simply give them control and do
           nothing more.

       EVP_CIPH_FLAG_AEAD_CIPHER
           This indicates that this is an AEAD cipher implementation.

       EVP_CIPH_FLAG_TLS1_1_MULTIBLOCK
           Allow interleaving of crypto blocks, a particular optimization only applicable to
           certain TLS ciphers.

       EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_impl_ctx_size() sets the size of the EVP_CIPHER's implementation
       context so that it can be automatically allocated.

       EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_init() sets the cipher init function for cipher.  The cipher init
       function is called by EVP_CipherInit(), EVP_CipherInit_ex(), EVP_EncryptInit(),
       EVP_EncryptInit_ex(), EVP_DecryptInit(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex().

       EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_do_cipher() sets the cipher function for cipher.  The cipher function
       is called by EVP_CipherUpdate(), EVP_EncryptUpdate(), EVP_DecryptUpdate(),
       EVP_CipherFinal(), EVP_EncryptFinal(), EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(), EVP_DecryptFinal() and
       EVP_DecryptFinal_ex().

       EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_cleanup() sets the function for cipher to do extra cleanup before the
       method's private data structure is cleaned out and freed.  Note that the cleanup function
       is passed a EVP_CIPHER_CTX *, the private data structure is then available with
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data().  This cleanup function is called by
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free().

       EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_set_asn1_params() sets the function for cipher to set the
       AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter" based on the passed cipher.  This function is called by
       EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1().  EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_get_asn1_params() sets the function for
       cipher that sets the cipher parameters based on an ASN.1 AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter".
       Both these functions are needed when there is a need for custom data (more or other than
       the cipher IV).  They are called by EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1() and
       EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() respectively if defined.

       EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_ctrl() sets the control function for cipher.

       EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_init(), EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_do_cipher(),
       EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_set_asn1_params(),
       EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_get_asn1_params() and EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_ctrl() are all used to
       retrieve the method data given with the EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_*() functions above.

RETURN VALUES

       EVP_CIPHER_meth_new() and EVP_CIPHER_meth_dup() return a pointer to a newly created
       EVP_CIPHER, or NULL on failure.  All EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_*() functions return 1.  All
       EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_*() functions return pointers to their respective cipher function.
