=head1 DESCRIPTION

This documentation is primarily aimed at provider authors. See L<provider(7)>
for further information.

The CIPHER operation enables providers to implement cipher algorithms and make
them available to applications via the API functions L<EVP_EncryptInit_ex(3)>,
L<EVP_EncryptUpdate(3)> and L<EVP_EncryptFinal(3)> (as well as the decrypt
equivalents and other related functions).

All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
F<libcrypto> and the provider in B<OSSL_DISPATCH> arrays via
B<OSSL_ALGORITHM> arrays that are returned by the provider's
provider_query_operation() function
(see L<provider-base(7)/Provider Functions>).

All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition
named B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn>, and a helper function to retrieve the
function pointer from an B<OSSL_DISPATCH> element named
B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}>.
For example, the "function" OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx() has these:

 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);

B<OSSL_DISPATCH> arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as
macros in L<openssl-core_dispatch.h(7)>, as follows:

 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx               OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_NEWCTX
 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_freectx              OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_FREECTX
 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_dupctx               OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_DUPCTX

 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init         OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_ENCRYPT_INIT
 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init         OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_DECRYPT_INIT
 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_update               OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_UPDATE
 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_final                OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_FINAL
 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_cipher               OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_CIPHER

 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_params           OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_GET_PARAMS
 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_ctx_params       OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_GET_CTX_PARAMS
 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_set_ctx_params       OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_SET_CTX_PARAMS

 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_params      OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_GETTABLE_PARAMS
 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_ctx_params  OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_GETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS
 OSSL_FUNC_cipher_settable_ctx_params  OSSL_FUNC_CIPHER_SETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS

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.

=head2 Context Management Functions

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx() 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 I<provctx> is the provider context generated during provider
initialisation (see L<provider(7)>).

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_freectx() is passed a pointer to the provider side cipher context in
the I<cctx> parameter.
This function should free any resources associated with that context.

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_dupctx() should duplicate the provider side cipher context in the
I<cctx> parameter and return the duplicate copy.

=head2 Encryption/Decryption Functions

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init() initialises a cipher operation for encryption given a
newly created provider side cipher context in the I<cctx> parameter.
The key to be used is given in I<key> which is I<keylen> bytes long.
The IV to be used is given in I<iv> which is I<ivlen> bytes long.
The I<params>, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to
using OSSL_FUNC_cipher_set_ctx_params().

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init() is the same as OSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init() except that it
initialises the context for a decryption operation.

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_update() is called to supply data to be encrypted/decrypted as part of
a previously initialised cipher operation.
The I<cctx> parameter contains a pointer to a previously initialised provider
side context.
OSSL_FUNC_cipher_update() should encrypt/decrypt I<inl> bytes of data at the location
pointed to by I<in>.
The encrypted data should be stored in I<out> and the amount of data written to
I<*outl> which should not exceed I<outsize> bytes.
OSSL_FUNC_cipher_update() 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.
I<out> may be the same location as I<in> but it should not partially overlap.
The same expectations apply to I<outsize> as documented for
L<EVP_EncryptUpdate(3)> and L<EVP_DecryptUpdate(3)>.

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_final() completes an encryption or decryption started through previous
OSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init() or OSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init(), and OSSL_FUNC_cipher_update()
calls.
The I<cctx> parameter contains a pointer to the provider side context.
Any final encryption/decryption output should be written to I<out> and the
amount of data written to I<*outl> which should not exceed I<outsize> bytes.
The same expectations apply to I<outsize> as documented for
L<EVP_EncryptFinal(3)> and L<EVP_DecryptFinal(3)>.

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_cipher() performs encryption/decryption using the provider side cipher
context in the I<cctx> parameter that should have been previously initialised via
a call to OSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init() or OSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init().
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
L<EVP_Cipher(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 I<in>, and it will be I<inl> bytes
in length.
The output from the encryption/decryption should be stored in I<out> and the
amount of data stored should be put in I<*outl> which should be no more than
I<outsize> bytes.

=head2 Cipher Parameters

See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for further details on the parameters structure used by
these functions.

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_params() gets details of the algorithm implementation
and stores them in I<params>.

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_set_ctx_params() sets cipher operation parameters for the
provider side cipher context I<cctx> to I<params>.
Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set.
Passing NULL for I<params> should return true.

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_ctx_params() gets cipher operation details details from
the given provider side cipher context I<cctx> and stores them in I<params>.
Passing NULL for I<params> should return true.

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_params(), OSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_ctx_params(),
and OSSL_FUNC_cipher_settable_ctx_params() all return constant B<OSSL_PARAM>
arrays as descriptors of the parameters that OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_params(),
OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_ctx_params(), and OSSL_FUNC_cipher_set_ctx_params()
can handle, respectively.  OSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_ctx_params() and
OSSL_FUNC_cipher_settable_ctx_params() will return the parameters associated
with the provider side context I<cctx> in its current state if it is
not NULL.  Otherwise, they return the parameters associated with the
provider side algorithm I<provctx>.

Parameters currently recognised by built-in ciphers are listed in
L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)/PARAMETERS>.
Not all parameters are relevant to, or are understood by all ciphers.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_newctx() and OSSL_FUNC_cipher_dupctx() should return the newly created
provider side cipher context, or NULL on failure.

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_encrypt_init(), OSSL_FUNC_cipher_decrypt_init(), OSSL_FUNC_cipher_update(),
OSSL_FUNC_cipher_final(), OSSL_FUNC_cipher_cipher(), OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_params(),
OSSL_FUNC_cipher_get_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_cipher_set_ctx_params() should return 1 for
success or 0 on error.

OSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_params(), OSSL_FUNC_cipher_gettable_ctx_params() and
OSSL_FUNC_cipher_settable_ctx_params() should return a constant B<OSSL_PARAM>
array, or NULL if none is offered.
