<p>BIO_f_cipher, BIO_set_cipher, BIO_get_cipher_status, BIO_get_cipher_ctx - cipher BIO filter</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include <openssl/bio.h>
#include <openssl/evp.h>
const BIO_METHOD *BIO_f_cipher(void);
void BIO_set_cipher(BIO *b, const EVP_CIPHER *cipher,

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>BIO_f_cipher() returns the cipher BIO method. This is a filter BIO that encrypts any data written through it, and decrypts any data read from it. It is a BIO wrapper for the cipher routines EVP_CipherInit(), EVP_CipherUpdate() and EVP_CipherFinal().</p>
<p>Cipher BIOs do not support BIO_gets() or BIO_puts().</p>
<p>BIO_flush() on an encryption BIO 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 BIO.</p>
<p>BIO_set_cipher() sets the cipher of BIO <b>b</b> to <b>cipher</b> using key <b>key</b> and IV <b>iv</b>. <b>enc</b> should be set to 1 for encryption and zero for decryption.</p>
<p>When reading from an encryption BIO the final block is automatically decrypted and checked when EOF is detected. BIO_get_cipher_status() is a BIO_ctrl() macro which can be called to determine whether the decryption operation was successful.</p>
<p>BIO_get_cipher_ctx() is a BIO_ctrl() macro which retrieves the internal BIO cipher context. The retrieved context can be used in conjunction with the standard cipher routines to set it up. This is useful when BIO_set_cipher() is not flexible enough for the applications needs.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>When encrypting BIO_flush() <b>must</b> be called to flush the final block through the BIO. If it is not then the final block will fail a subsequent decrypt.</p>
<p>When decrypting an error on the final block is signaled by a zero return value from the read operation. A successful decrypt followed by EOF will also return zero for the final read. BIO_get_cipher_status() should be called to determine if the decrypt was successful.</p>
<p>As always, if BIO_gets() or BIO_puts() support is needed then it can be achieved by preceding the cipher BIO with a buffering BIO.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>BIO_f_cipher() returns the cipher BIO method.</p>
<p>BIO_set_cipher() does not return a value.</p>
<p>BIO_get_cipher_status() returns 1 for a successful decrypt and 0 for failure.</p>
<p>BIO_get_cipher_ctx() currently always returns 1.</p>
