=head1 NAME
|
||
|
|
||
|
evp - high-level cryptographic functions
|
||
|
|
||
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
||
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
||
|
|
||
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
||
|
The EVP library provides a high-level interface to cryptographic
|
||
|
functions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The L<B<EVP_Seal>I<XXX>|EVP_SealInit(3)> and L<B<EVP_Open>I<XXX>|EVP_OpenInit(3)>
|
||
|
functions provide public key encryption and decryption to implement digital "envelopes".
|
||
|
|
||
|
The L<B<EVP_DigestSign>I<XXX>|EVP_DigestSignInit(3)> and
|
||
|
L<B<EVP_DigestVerify>I<XXX>|EVP_DigestVerifyInit(3)> functions implement
|
||
|
digital signatures and Message Authentication Codes (MACs). Also see the older
|
||
|
L<B<EVP_Sign>I<XXX>|EVP_SignInit(3)> and L<B<EVP_Verify>I<XXX>|EVP_VerifyInit(3)>
|
||
|
functions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Symmetric encryption is available with the L<B<EVP_Encrypt>I<XXX>|EVP_EncryptInit(3)>
|
||
|
functions. The L<B<EVP_Digest>I<XXX>|EVP_DigestInit(3)> functions provide message digests.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The B<EVP_PKEY>I<XXX> functions provide a high-level interface to
|
||
|
asymmetric algorithms. To create a new EVP_PKEY see
|
||
|
L<EVP_PKEY_new(3)>. EVP_PKEYs can be associated
|
||
|
with a private key of a particular algorithm by using the functions
|
||
|
described on the L<EVP_PKEY_fromdata(3)> page, or
|
||
|
new keys can be generated using L<EVP_PKEY_keygen(3)>.
|
||
|
EVP_PKEYs can be compared using L<EVP_PKEY_eq(3)>, or printed using
|
||
|
L<EVP_PKEY_print_private(3)>. L<EVP_PKEY_todata(3)> can be used to convert a
|
||
|
key back into an L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> array.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The EVP_PKEY functions support the full range of asymmetric algorithm operations:
|
||
|
|
||
|
=over 4
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item For key agreement see L<EVP_PKEY_derive(3)>
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item For signing and verifying see L<EVP_PKEY_sign(3)>,
|
||
|
L<EVP_PKEY_verify(3)> and L<EVP_PKEY_verify_recover(3)>.
|
||
|
However, note that
|
||
|
these functions do not perform a digest of the data to be signed. Therefore,
|
||
|
normally you would use the L<EVP_DigestSignInit(3)>
|
||
|
functions for this purpose.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item For encryption and decryption see L<EVP_PKEY_encrypt(3)>
|
||
|
and L<EVP_PKEY_decrypt(3)> respectively. However, note that
|
||
|
these functions perform encryption and decryption only. As public key
|
||
|
encryption is an expensive operation, normally you would wrap
|
||
|
an encrypted message in a "digital envelope" using the L<EVP_SealInit(3)> and
|
||
|
L<EVP_OpenInit(3)> functions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=back
|
||
|
|
||
|
The L<EVP_BytesToKey(3)> function provides some limited support for password
|
||
|
based encryption. Careful selection of the parameters will provide a PKCS#5 PBKDF1 compatible
|
||
|
implementation. However, new applications should not typically use this (preferring, for example,
|
||
|
PBKDF2 from PCKS#5).
|
||
|
|
||
|
The L<B<EVP_Encode>I<XXX>|EVP_EncodeInit(3)> and
|
||
|
L<B<EVP_Decode>I<XXX>|EVP_EncodeInit(3)> functions implement base 64 encoding
|
||
|
and decoding.
|
||
|
|
||
|
All the symmetric algorithms (ciphers), digests and asymmetric algorithms
|
||
|
(public key algorithms) can be replaced by ENGINE modules providing alternative
|
||
|
implementations. If ENGINE implementations of ciphers or digests are registered
|
||
|
as defaults, then the various EVP functions will automatically use those
|
||
|
implementations automatically in preference to built in software
|
||
|
implementations. For more information, consult the engine(3) man page.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Although low-level algorithm specific functions exist for many algorithms
|
||
|
their use is discouraged. They cannot be used with an ENGINE and ENGINE
|
||
|
versions of new algorithms cannot be accessed using the low-level functions.
|
||
|
Also makes code harder to adapt to new algorithms and some options are not
|
||
|
cleanly supported at the low-level and some operations are more efficient
|
||
|
using the high-level interface.
