DESCRIPTION

       This library contains a fast implementation of the DES encryption algorithm.

       There are two phases to the use of DES encryption.  The first is the generation of a
       DES_key_schedule from a key, the second is the actual encryption.  A DES key is of type
       DES_cblock. This type is consists of 8 bytes with odd parity.  The least significant bit
       in each byte is the parity bit.  The key schedule is an expanded form of the key; it is
       used to speed the encryption process.

       DES_random_key() generates a random key.  The PRNG must be seeded prior to using this
       function (see rand(3)).  If the PRNG could not generate a secure key, 0 is returned.

       Before a DES key can be used, it must be converted into the architecture dependent
       DES_key_schedule via the DES_set_key_checked() or DES_set_key_unchecked() function.

       DES_set_key_checked() will check that the key passed is of odd parity and is not a week or
       semi-weak key.  If the parity is wrong, then -1 is returned.  If the key is a weak key,
       then -2 is returned.  If an error is returned, the key schedule is not generated.

       DES_set_key() works like DES_set_key_checked() if the DES_check_key flag is non-zero,
       otherwise like DES_set_key_unchecked().  These functions are available for compatibility;
       it is recommended to use a function that does not depend on a global variable.

       DES_set_odd_parity() sets the parity of the passed key to odd.

       DES_is_weak_key() returns 1 is the passed key is a weak key, 0 if it is ok.  The
       probability that a randomly generated key is weak is 1/2^52, so it is not really worth
       checking for them.

       The following routines mostly operate on an input and output stream of DES_cblocks.

       DES_ecb_encrypt() is the basic DES encryption routine that encrypts or decrypts a single
       8-byte DES_cblock in electronic code book (ECB) mode.  It always transforms the input
       data, pointed to by input, into the output data, pointed to by the output argument.  If
       the encrypt argument is non-zero (DES_ENCRYPT), the input (cleartext) is encrypted in to
       the output (ciphertext) using the key_schedule specified by the schedule argument,
       previously set via DES_set_key. If encrypt is zero (DES_DECRYPT), the input (now
       ciphertext) is decrypted into the output (now cleartext).  Input and output may overlap.
       DES_ecb_encrypt() does not return a value.

       DES_ecb3_encrypt() encrypts/decrypts the input block by using three-key Triple-DES
       encryption in ECB mode.  This involves encrypting the input with ks1, decrypting with the
       key schedule ks2, and then encrypting with ks3.  This routine greatly reduces the chances
       of brute force breaking of DES and has the advantage of if ks1, ks2 and ks3 are the same,
       it is equivalent to just encryption using ECB mode and ks1 as the key.

       The macro DES_ecb2_encrypt() is provided to perform two-key Triple-DES encryption by using
       ks1 for the final encryption.

       DES_ncbc_encrypt() encrypts/decrypts using the cipher-block-chaining (CBC) mode of DES.
       If the encrypt argument is non-zero, the routine cipher-block-chain encrypts the cleartext
       data pointed to by the input argument into the ciphertext pointed to by the output
       argument, using the key schedule provided by the schedule argument, and initialization
       vector provided by the ivec argument.  If the length argument is not an integral multiple
       of eight bytes, the last block is copied to a temporary area and zero filled.  The output
       is always an integral multiple of eight bytes.

       DES_xcbc_encrypt() is RSA's DESX mode of DES.  It uses inw and outw to 'whiten' the
       encryption.  inw and outw are secret (unlike the iv) and are as such, part of the key.  So
       the key is sort of 24 bytes.  This is much better than CBC DES.

       DES_ede3_cbc_encrypt() implements outer triple CBC DES encryption with three keys. This
       means that each DES operation inside the CBC mode is really an "C=E(ks3,D(ks2,E(ks1,M)))".
       This mode is used by SSL.

       The DES_ede2_cbc_encrypt() macro implements two-key Triple-DES by reusing ks1 for the
       final encryption.  "C=E(ks1,D(ks2,E(ks1,M)))".  This form of Triple-DES is used by the
       RSAREF library.

       DES_pcbc_encrypt() encrypt/decrypts using the propagating cipher block chaining mode used
       by Kerberos v4. Its parameters are the same as DES_ncbc_encrypt().

       DES_cfb_encrypt() encrypt/decrypts using cipher feedback mode.  This method takes an array
       of characters as input and outputs and array of characters.  It does not require any
       padding to 8 character groups.  Note: the ivec variable is changed and the new changed
       value needs to be passed to the next call to this function.  Since this function runs a
       complete DES ECB encryption per numbits, this function is only suggested for use when
       sending small numbers of characters.

       DES_cfb64_encrypt() implements CFB mode of DES with 64bit feedback.  Why is this useful
       you ask?  Because this routine will allow you to encrypt an arbitrary number of bytes, no
       8 byte padding.  Each call to this routine will encrypt the input bytes to output and then
       update ivec and num.  num contains 'how far' we are though ivec.  If this does not make
       much sense, read more about cfb mode of DES :-).

       DES_ede3_cfb64_encrypt() and DES_ede2_cfb64_encrypt() is the same as DES_cfb64_encrypt()
       except that Triple-DES is used.

       DES_ofb_encrypt() encrypts using output feedback mode.  This method takes an array of
       characters as input and outputs and array of characters.  It does not require any padding
       to 8 character groups.  Note: the ivec variable is changed and the new changed value needs
       to be passed to the next call to this function.  Since this function runs a complete DES
       ECB encryption per numbits, this function is only suggested for use when sending small
       numbers of characters.

       DES_ofb64_encrypt() is the same as DES_cfb64_encrypt() using Output Feed Back mode.

       DES_ede3_ofb64_encrypt() and DES_ede2_ofb64_encrypt() is the same as DES_ofb64_encrypt(),
       using Triple-DES.

       The following functions are included in the DES library for compatibility with the MIT
       Kerberos library.

       DES_cbc_cksum() produces an 8 byte checksum based on the input stream (via CBC
       encryption).  The last 4 bytes of the checksum are returned and the complete 8 bytes are
       placed in output. This function is used by Kerberos v4.  Other applications should use
       EVP_DigestInit(3) etc. instead.

       DES_quad_cksum() is a Kerberos v4 function.  It returns a 4 byte checksum from the input
       bytes.  The algorithm can be iterated over the input, depending on out_count, 1, 2, 3 or 4
       times.  If output is non-NULL, the 8 bytes generated by each pass are written into output.

       The following are DES-based transformations:

       DES_fcrypt() is a fast version of the Unix crypt(3) function.  This version takes only a
       small amount of space relative to other fast crypt() implementations.  This is different
       to the normal crypt in that the third parameter is the buffer that the return value is
       written into.  It needs to be at least 14 bytes long.  This function is thread safe,
       unlike the normal crypt.

       DES_crypt() is a faster replacement for the normal system crypt().  This function calls
       DES_fcrypt() with a static array passed as the third parameter.  This emulates the normal
       non-thread safe semantics of crypt(3).

       DES_enc_write() writes len bytes to file descriptor fd from buffer buf. The data is
       encrypted via pcbc_encrypt (default) using sched for the key and iv as a starting vector.
       The actual data send down fd consists of 4 bytes (in network byte order) containing the
       length of the following encrypted data.  The encrypted data then follows, padded with
       random data out to a multiple of 8 bytes.

       DES_enc_read() is used to read len bytes from file descriptor fd into buffer buf. The data
       being read from fd is assumed to have come from DES_enc_write() and is decrypted using
       sched for the key schedule and iv for the initial vector.

       Warning: The data format used by DES_enc_write() and DES_enc_read() has a cryptographic
       weakness: When asked to write more than MAXWRITE bytes, DES_enc_write() will split the
       data into several chunks that are all encrypted using the same IV.  So don't use these
       functions unless you are sure you know what you do (in which case you might not want to
       use them anyway).  They cannot handle non-blocking sockets.  DES_enc_read() uses an
       internal state and thus cannot be used on multiple files.

       DES_rw_mode is used to specify the encryption mode to use with DES_enc_read() and
       DES_end_write().  If set to DES_PCBC_MODE (the default), DES_pcbc_encrypt is used.  If set
       to DES_CBC_MODE DES_cbc_encrypt is used.

NOTES

       Single-key DES is insecure due to its short key size.  ECB mode is not suitable for most
       applications; see des_modes(7).

       The evp(3) library provides higher-level encryption functions.

BUGS

       DES_3cbc_encrypt() is flawed and must not be used in applications.

       DES_cbc_encrypt() does not modify ivec; use DES_ncbc_encrypt() instead.

       DES_cfb_encrypt() and DES_ofb_encrypt() operates on input of 8 bits.  What this means is
       that if you set numbits to 12, and length to 2, the first 12 bits will come from the 1st
       input byte and the low half of the second input byte.  The second 12 bits will have the
       low 8 bits taken from the 3rd input byte and the top 4 bits taken from the 4th input byte.
       The same holds for output.  This function has been implemented this way because most
       people will be using a multiple of 8 and because once you get into pulling bytes input
       bytes apart things get ugly!

       DES_string_to_key() is available for backward compatibility with the MIT library.  New
       applications should use a cryptographic hash function.  The same applies for
       DES_string_to_2key().

CONFORMING TO

       ANSI X3.106

HISTORY

       In OpenSSL 0.9.7, all des_ functions were renamed to DES_ to avoid clashes with older
       versions of libdes.  Compatibility des_ functions are provided for a short while, as well
       as crypt().  Declarations for these are in <openssl/des_old.h>. There is no DES_ variant
       for des_random_seed().  This will happen to other functions as well if they are deemed
       redundant (des_random_seed() just calls RAND_seed() and is present for backward
       compatibility only), buggy or already scheduled for removal.

       des_cbc_cksum(), des_cbc_encrypt(), des_ecb_encrypt(), des_is_weak_key(), des_key_sched(),
       des_pcbc_encrypt(), des_quad_cksum(), des_random_key() and des_string_to_key() are
       available in the MIT Kerberos library; des_check_key_parity(), des_fixup_key_parity() and
       des_is_weak_key() are available in newer versions of that library.

       des_set_key_checked() and des_set_key_unchecked() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.5.

       des_generate_random_block(), des_init_random_number_generator(), des_new_random_key(),
       des_set_random_generator_seed() and des_set_sequence_number() and des_rand_data() are used
       in newer versions of Kerberos but are not implemented here.

       des_random_key() generated cryptographically weak random data in SSLeay and in OpenSSL
       prior version 0.9.5, as well as in the original MIT library.
