1968651Skris
2068651SkrisBIO_f_cipher() returns the cipher BIO method. This is a filter
2168651SkrisBIO that encrypts any data written through it, and decrypts any data
2268651Skrisread from it. It is a BIO wrapper for the cipher routines
2368651SkrisEVP_CipherInit(), EVP_CipherUpdate() and EVP_CipherFinal().
2468651Skris
2568651SkrisCipher BIOs do not support BIO_gets() or BIO_puts(). 
2668651Skris
2768651SkrisBIO_flush() on an encryption BIO that is being written through is
2868651Skrisused to signal that no more data is to be encrypted: this is used
2968651Skristo flush and possibly pad the final block through the BIO.
3068651Skris
31120631SnectarBIO_set_cipher() sets the cipher of BIO B<b> to B<cipher> using key B<key>
3268651Skrisand IV B<iv>. B<enc> should be set to 1 for encryption and zero for
3368651Skrisdecryption.
3468651Skris
3568651SkrisWhen reading from an encryption BIO the final block is automatically
3668651Skrisdecrypted and checked when EOF is detected. BIO_get_cipher_status()
3768651Skrisis a BIO_ctrl() macro which can be called to determine whether the
3868651Skrisdecryption operation was successful.
3968651Skris
4068651SkrisBIO_get_cipher_ctx() is a BIO_ctrl() macro which retrieves the internal
4168651SkrisBIO cipher context. The retrieved context can be used in conjunction
4268651Skriswith the standard cipher routines to set it up. This is useful when
4368651SkrisBIO_set_cipher() is not flexible enough for the applications needs.
4468651Skris
4568651Skris=head1 NOTES
4668651Skris
4768651SkrisWhen encrypting BIO_flush() B<must> be called to flush the final block
4868651Skristhrough the BIO. If it is not then the final block will fail a subsequent
4968651Skrisdecrypt.
5068651Skris
5168651SkrisWhen decrypting an error on the final block is signalled by a zero
5268651Skrisreturn value from the read operation. A successful decrypt followed
5368651Skrisby EOF will also return zero for the final read. BIO_get_cipher_status()
5468651Skrisshould be called to determine if the decrypt was successful.
5568651Skris
5668651SkrisAs always, if BIO_gets() or BIO_puts() support is needed then it can
5768651Skrisbe achieved by preceding the cipher BIO with a buffering BIO.

5968651Skris=head1 RETURN VALUES
6068651Skris
6168651SkrisBIO_f_cipher() returns the cipher BIO method.
6268651Skris
6368651SkrisBIO_set_cipher() does not return a value.
6468651Skris
6568651SkrisBIO_get_cipher_status() returns 1 for a successful decrypt and 0
6668651Skrisfor failure.
6768651Skris
6868651SkrisBIO_get_cipher_ctx() currently always returns 1.
