2025 $ +.Dt EVP 3 +.Os +.Sh NAME +.Nm evp +.Nd high-level cryptographic functions +.Sh SYNOPSIS +.Lb libcrypto +.In openssl/evp.h +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The EVP library provides a high-level interface to cryptographic +functions. +The abbreviation +.Dq EVP +is intended to mean +.Dq EnVeloPe +in the sense of +.Dq wrapper library . +It is not related to the technical meaning of the term +.Dq envelope +in contexts like +.Xr CMS_encrypt 3 , +.Xr EVP_SealInit 3 , +.Xr PKCS7_encrypt 3 , +or +.Xr SMIME_write_PKCS7 3 . +.Pp +.Xr EVP_SealInit 3 +and +.Xr EVP_OpenInit 3 +provide public key encryption and decryption to implement digital +"envelopes". +.Pp +The +.Xr EVP_DigestSignInit 3 +and +.Xr EVP_DigestVerifyInit 3 +functions implement digital signatures and Message Authentication Codes +(MACs). +Also see the older +.Xr EVP_SignInit 3 +and +.Xr EVP_VerifyInit 3 +functions. +.Pp +Symmetric encryption is available with the +.Xr EVP_EncryptInit 3 +functions. +The +.Xr EVP_DigestInit 3 +functions provide message digests. +.Pp +Authenticated encryption with additional data (AEAD) is available with +the +.Xr EVP_AEAD_CTX_init 3 +functions. +.Pp +The +.Fn EVP_PKEY_* +functions provide a high-level interface to asymmetric algorithms. +To create a new +.Vt EVP_PKEY , +see +.Xr EVP_PKEY_new 3 . +.Vt EVP_PKEY Ns s +can be associated with a private key of a particular algorithm +by using the functions described in the +.Xr EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA 3 +page, or new keys can be generated using +.Xr EVP_PKEY_keygen 3 . +.Vt EVP_PKEY Ns s +can be compared using +.Xr EVP_PKEY_cmp 3 +or printed using +.Xr EVP_PKEY_print_private 3 . +.Pp +The +.Fn EVP_PKEY_* +functions support the full range of asymmetric algorithm operations: +.Bl -bullet +.It +For key agreement, see +.Xr EVP_PKEY_derive 3 . +.It +For signing and verifying, see +.Xr EVP_PKEY_sign 3 , +.Xr EVP_PKEY_verify 3 , +and +.Xr EVP_PKEY_verify_recover 3 . +However, note that these functions do not perform a digest of the +data to be signed. +Therefore, normally you would use the +.Xr EVP_DigestSignInit 3 +functions for this purpose. +.It +For encryption and decryption see +.Xr EVP_PKEY_encrypt 3 +and +.Xr EVP_PKEY_decrypt 3 , +respectively. +However, note that these functions perform encryption and decryption only. +As public key encryption is an expensive operation, normally you +would wrap an encrypted message in a digital envelope using the +.Xr EVP_SealInit 3 +and +.Xr EVP_OpenInit 3 +functions. +.El +.Pp +The +.Xr EVP_BytesToKey 3 +function provides some limited support for password based encryption. +Careful selection of the parameters will provide a PKCS#5 PBKDF1 +compatible implementation. +However, new applications should typically not use this (preferring, for +example, PBKDF2 from PCKS#5). +.Pp +The +.Xr EVP_EncodeInit 3 +family of functions provides base64 encoding and decoding. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr ASN1_item_digest 3 , +.Xr ASN1_item_sign 3 , +.Xr BIO_f_cipher 3 , +.Xr BIO_f_md 3 , +.Xr CMAC_Init
