.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBBIO_f_cipher()\fR returns the cipher \s-1BIO\s0 method. This is a filter
\&\s-1BIO\s0 that encrypts any data written through it, and decrypts any data
read from it. It is a \s-1BIO\s0 wrapper for the cipher routines
\&\fBEVP_CipherInit()\fR, \fBEVP_CipherUpdate()\fR and \fBEVP_CipherFinal()\fR.
.PP
Cipher BIOs do not support \fBBIO_gets()\fR or \fBBIO_puts()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_flush()\fR on an encryption \s-1BIO\s0 that is being written through is
used to signal that no more data is to be encrypted: this is used
to flush and possibly pad the final block through the \s-1BIO.\s0
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_cipher()\fR sets the cipher of \s-1BIO\s0 \fBb\fR to \fBcipher\fR using key \fBkey\fR
and \s-1IV\s0 \fBiv\fR. \fBenc\fR should be set to 1 for encryption and zero for
decryption.
.PP
When reading from an encryption \s-1BIO\s0 the final block is automatically
decrypted and checked when \s-1EOF\s0 is detected. \fBBIO_get_cipher_status()\fR
is a \fBBIO_ctrl()\fR macro which can be called to determine whether the
decryption operation was successful.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_get_cipher_ctx()\fR is a \fBBIO_ctrl()\fR macro which retrieves the internal
\&\s-1BIO\s0 cipher context. The retrieved context can be used in conjunction
with the standard cipher routines to set it up. This is useful when
\&\fBBIO_set_cipher()\fR is not flexible enough for the applications needs.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
When encrypting \fBBIO_flush()\fR \fBmust\fR be called to flush the final block
through the \s-1BIO.\s0 If it is not then the final block will fail a subsequent
decrypt.
.PP
When decrypting an error on the final block is signaled by a zero
return value from the read operation. A successful decrypt followed
by \s-1EOF\s0 will also return zero for the final read. \fBBIO_get_cipher_status()\fR
should be called to determine if the decrypt was successful.
.PP
As always, if \fBBIO_gets()\fR or \fBBIO_puts()\fR support is needed then it can
be achieved by preceding the cipher \s-1BIO\s0 with a buffering \s-1BIO.\s0
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBBIO_f_cipher()\fR returns the cipher \s-1BIO\s0 method.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_cipher()\fR does not return a value.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_get_cipher_status()\fR returns 1 for a successful decrypt and 0
for failure.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_get_cipher_ctx()\fR currently always returns 1.
