BIO_f_cipher() returns the cipher BIO method. This is a filter
21
BIO that encrypts any data written through it, and decrypts any data
22
read from it. It is a BIO wrapper for the cipher routines
23
EVP_CipherInit(), EVP_CipherUpdate() and EVP_CipherFinal().
25
Cipher BIOs do not support BIO_gets() or BIO_puts().
27
BIO_flush() on an encryption BIO that is being written through is
28
used to signal that no more data is to be encrypted: this is used
29
to flush and possibly pad the final block through the BIO.
31
BIO_set_cipher() sets the cipher of BIO B<b> to B<cipher> using key B<key>
32
and IV B<iv>. B<enc> should be set to 1 for encryption and zero for
35
When reading from an encryption BIO the final block is automatically
36
decrypted and checked when EOF is detected. BIO_get_cipher_status()
37
is a BIO_ctrl() macro which can be called to determine whether the
38
decryption operation was successful.
40
BIO_get_cipher_ctx() is a BIO_ctrl() macro which retrieves the internal
41
BIO cipher context. The retrieved context can be used in conjunction
42
with the standard cipher routines to set it up. This is useful when
43
BIO_set_cipher() is not flexible enough for the applications needs.
47
When encrypting BIO_flush() B<must> be called to flush the final block
48
through the BIO. If it is not then the final block will fail a subsequent
51
When decrypting an error on the final block is signalled by a zero
52
return value from the read operation. A successful decrypt followed
53
by EOF will also return zero for the final read. BIO_get_cipher_status()
54
should be called to determine if the decrypt was successful.
56
As always, if BIO_gets() or BIO_puts() support is needed then it can
57
be achieved by preceding the cipher BIO with a buffering BIO.
61
BIO_f_cipher() returns the cipher BIO method.
63
BIO_set_cipher() does not return a value.
65
BIO_get_cipher_status() returns 1 for a successful decrypt and 0
68
BIO_get_cipher_ctx() currently always returns 1.
