.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is turned on, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
EVP_OpenInit, EVP_OpenUpdate, EVP_OpenFinal - EVP envelope decryption
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/evp.h> \& int EVP_OpenInit(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx,EVP_CIPHER *type,unsigned char *ek, int ekl,unsigned char *iv,EVP_PKEY *priv); int EVP_OpenUpdate(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out, int *outl, unsigned char *in, int inl); int EVP_OpenFinal(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out, int *outl); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" The \s-1EVP\s0 envelope routines are a high level interface to envelope decryption. They decrypt a public key encrypted symmetric key and then decrypt data using it.

\fIEVP_OpenInit() initializes a cipher context ctx for decryption with cipher type. It decrypts the encrypted symmetric key of length \fBekl bytes passed in the ek parameter using the private key priv. The \s-1IV\s0 is supplied in the iv parameter.

\fIEVP_OpenUpdate() and EVP_OpenFinal() have exactly the same properties as the EVP_DecryptUpdate() and EVP_DecryptFinal() routines, as documented on the EVP_EncryptInit\|(3) manual page.

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" It is possible to call EVP_OpenInit() twice in the same way as \fIEVP_DecryptInit(). The first call should have priv set to \s-1NULL\s0 and (after setting any cipher parameters) it should be called again with type set to \s-1NULL.\s0

If the cipher passed in the type parameter is a variable length cipher then the key length will be set to the value of the recovered key length. If the cipher is a fixed length cipher then the recovered key length must match the fixed cipher length.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fIEVP_OpenInit() returns 0 on error or a non zero integer (actually the recovered secret key size) if successful.

\fIEVP_OpenUpdate() returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.

\fIEVP_OpenFinal() returns 0 if the decrypt failed or 1 for success.
