NAME
EVP_CIPHER-NULL - The NULL EVP_CIPHER implementation
DESCRIPTION
Support for a NULL symmetric encryption using the EVP_CIPHER API. This is used when the TLS cipher suite is TLS_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL. This does no encryption (just copies the data) and has a mac size of zero.
Algorithm Name
The following algorithm is available in the default provider:
- "NULL"
Parameters
This implementation supports the following parameters:
Gettable EVP_CIPHER parameters
See "Gettable EVP_CIPHER parameters" in EVP_EncryptInit(3)
Gettable EVP_CIPHER_CTX parameters
- "keylen" (OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_KEYLEN) <unsigned integer>
- "ivlen" (OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_IVLEN and <OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_AEAD_IVLEN) <unsigned integer>
- "tls-mac" (OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS_MAC) <octet ptr>
See "PARAMETERS" in EVP_EncryptInit(3) for further information.
Settable EVP_CIPHER_CTX parameters
- "tls-mac-size" (OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS_MAC_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
See "PARAMETERS" in EVP_EncryptInit(3) for further information.
