- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
- This documentation is primarily aimed at provider authors. See \fBprovider\fR\|(7)
- for further information.
- .PP
- The CIPHER operation enables providers to implement cipher algorithms and make
- them available to applications via the API functions \fBEVP_EncryptInit_ex\fR\|(3),
- \&\fBEVP_EncryptUpdate\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_EncryptFinal\fR\|(3) (as well as the decrypt
- equivalents and other related functions).
- .PP
- All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
- \&\fIlibcrypto\fR and the provider in \fBOSSL_DISPATCH\fR\|(3) arrays via
- \&\fBOSSL_ALGORITHM\fR\|(3) arrays that are returned by the provider's
- \&\fBprovider_query_operation()\fR function
- (see "Provider Functions" in \fBprovider\-base\fR\|(7)).
- .PP
- All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition
- named \fBOSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn\fR, and a helper function to retrieve the
- function pointer from an \fBOSSL_DISPATCH\fR\|(3) element named
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_{name}\fR.
- For example, the "function" \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx()\fR has these:
- .PP
- .Vb 3
- \& typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx_fn)(void *provctx);
- \& static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx_fn
- \& OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);
- .Ve
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_DISPATCH\fR\|(3) arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as
- macros in \fBopenssl\-core_dispatch.h\fR\|(7), as follows:
- .PP
- .Vb 3
- \& OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_NEWCTX

- .PP
- A cipher algorithm implementation may not implement all of these functions.
- In order to be a consistent set of functions there must at least be a complete
- set of "encrypt" functions, or a complete set of "decrypt" functions, or a
- single "cipher" function.
- In all cases both the OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx and OSSL_FUNC_cipher_freectx functions must be
- present.
- All other functions are optional.
- .SS "Context Management Functions"
- .IX Subsection "Context Management Functions"
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx()\fR should create and return a pointer to a provider side
- structure for holding context information during a cipher operation.
- A pointer to this context will be passed back in a number of the other cipher
- operation function calls.
- The parameter \fIprovctx\fR is the provider context generated during provider
- initialisation (see \fBprovider\fR\|(7)).
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_freectx()\fR is passed a pointer to the provider side cipher context in
- the \fIcctx\fR parameter.
- This function should free any resources associated with that context.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_dupctx()\fR should duplicate the provider side cipher context in the
- \&\fIcctx\fR parameter and return the duplicate copy.
- .SS "Encryption/Decryption Functions"
- .IX Subsection "Encryption/Decryption Functions"
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init()\fR initialises a cipher operation for encryption given a
- newly created provider side cipher context in the \fIcctx\fR parameter.
- The key to be used is given in \fIkey\fR which is \fIkeylen\fR bytes long.
- The IV to be used is given in \fIiv\fR which is \fIivlen\fR bytes long.
- The \fIparams\fR, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to
- using \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_set_ctx_params()\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init()\fR is the same as \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init()\fR except that it
- initialises the context for a decryption operation.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_update()\fR is called to supply data to be encrypted/decrypted as part of
- a previously initialised cipher operation.
- The \fIcctx\fR parameter contains a pointer to a previously initialised provider
- side context.
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_update()\fR should encrypt/decrypt \fIinl\fR bytes of data at the location
- pointed to by \fIin\fR.
- The encrypted data should be stored in \fIout\fR and the amount of data written to
- \&\fI*outl\fR which should not exceed \fIoutsize\fR bytes.
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_update()\fR may be called multiple times for a single cipher operation.
- It is the responsibility of the cipher implementation to handle input lengths
- that are not multiples of the block length.
- In such cases a cipher implementation will typically cache partial blocks of
- input data until a complete block is obtained.
- The pointers \fIout\fR and \fIin\fR may point to the same location, in which
- case the encryption must be done in-place. If \fIout\fR and \fIin\fR point to different
- locations, the requirements of \fBEVP_EncryptUpdate\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_DecryptUpdate\fR\|(3)
- guarantee that the two buffers are disjoint.
- Similarly, the requirements of \fBEVP_EncryptUpdate\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_DecryptUpdate\fR\|(3)
- ensure that the buffer pointed to by \fIout\fR contains sufficient room for the
- operation being performed.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_final()\fR completes an encryption or decryption started through previous
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init()\fR or \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init()\fR, and \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_update()\fR
- calls.
- The \fIcctx\fR parameter contains a pointer to the provider side context.
- Any final encryption/decryption output should be written to \fIout\fR and the
- amount of data written to \fI*outl\fR which should not exceed \fIoutsize\fR bytes.
- The same expectations apply to \fIoutsize\fR as documented for
- \&\fBEVP_EncryptFinal\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_DecryptFinal\fR\|(3).
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_cipher()\fR performs encryption/decryption using the provider side cipher
- context in the \fIcctx\fR parameter that should have been previously initialised via
- a call to \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init()\fR or \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init()\fR.
- This should call the raw underlying cipher function without any padding.
- This will be invoked in the provider as a result of the application calling
- \&\fBEVP_Cipher\fR\|(3).
- The application is responsible for ensuring that the input is a multiple of the
- block length.
- The data to be encrypted/decrypted will be in \fIin\fR, and it will be \fIinl\fR bytes
- in length.
- The output from the encryption/decryption should be stored in \fIout\fR and the
- amount of data stored should be put in \fI*outl\fR which should be no more than
- \&\fIoutsize\fR bytes.
- .SS "Cipher Parameters"
- .IX Subsection "Cipher Parameters"
- See \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) for further details on the parameters structure used by
- these functions.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_params()\fR gets details of the algorithm implementation
- and stores them in \fIparams\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_set_ctx_params()\fR sets cipher operation parameters for the
- provider side cipher context \fIcctx\fR to \fIparams\fR.
- Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set.
- Passing NULL for \fIparams\fR should return true.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_ctx_params()\fR gets cipher operation details details from
- the given provider side cipher context \fIcctx\fR and stores them in \fIparams\fR.
- Passing NULL for \fIparams\fR should return true.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_params()\fR, \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_ctx_params()\fR,
- and \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_settable_ctx_params()\fR all return constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3)
- arrays as descriptors of the parameters that \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_params()\fR,
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_ctx_params()\fR, and \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_set_ctx_params()\fR
- can handle, respectively. \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_ctx_params()\fR and
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_settable_ctx_params()\fR will return the parameters associated
- with the provider side context \fIcctx\fR in its current state if it is
- not NULL. Otherwise, they return the parameters associated with the
- provider side algorithm \fIprovctx\fR.
- .PP
- Parameters currently recognised by built-in ciphers are listed in
- "PARAMETERS" in \fBEVP_EncryptInit\fR\|(3).
- Not all parameters are relevant to, or are understood by all ciphers.
- .SH "RETURN VALUES"
- .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx()\fR and \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_dupctx()\fR should return the newly created
- provider side cipher context, or NULL on failure.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init()\fR, \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init()\fR, \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_update()\fR,
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_final()\fR, \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_cipher()\fR, \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_params()\fR,
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_ctx_params()\fR and \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_set_ctx_params()\fR should return 1 for
- success or 0 on error.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_params()\fR, \fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_ctx_params()\fR and
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_cipher_settable_ctx_params()\fR should return a constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3)
- array, or NULL if none is offered.
