NAME¶

EVP_rc5_32_12_16_cbc, EVP_rc5_32_12_16_cfb, EVP_rc5_32_12_16_cfb64, EVP_rc5_32_12_16_ecb, EVP_rc5_32_12_16_ofb - EVP RC5 cipher

SYNOPSIS¶

 #include <openssl/evp.h>
 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc5_32_12_16_cbc(void);
 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc5_32_12_16_cfb(void);
 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc5_32_12_16_cfb64(void);
 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc5_32_12_16_ecb(void);
 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc5_32_12_16_ofb(void);

DESCRIPTION¶

The RC5 encryption algorithm for EVP.

EVP_rc5_32_12_16_cbc(), EVP_rc5_32_12_16_cfb(), EVP_rc5_32_12_16_cfb64(), EVP_rc5_32_12_16_ecb(), EVP_rc5_32_12_16_ofb()

RC5 encryption algorithm in CBC, CFB, ECB and OFB modes respectively. This is a variable key length cipher with an additional "number of rounds" parameter. By default the key length is set to 128 bits and 12 rounds. Alternative key lengths can be set using EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length(3). The maximum key length is 2040 bits.

The following rc5 specific ctrls are supported (see EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(3)).

NOTES¶

Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of calling these functions multiple times and should consider using EVP_CIPHER_fetch(3) with EVP_CIPHER-RC5(7) instead. See "Performance" in crypto(7) for further information.

RETURN VALUES¶

These functions return an EVP_CIPHER structure that contains the implementation of the symmetric cipher. See EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for details of the EVP_CIPHER structure.
