NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       evp - high-level cryptographic functions

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

        #include <openssl/evp.h>

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The EVP library provides a high-level interface to cryptographic
 functions.

       EVP_Seal... and EVP_Open... provide public key encryption
       and decryption to implement digital "envelopes".

       The EVP_Sign... and EVP_Verify... functions implement digital
 signatures.

       Symmetric encryption is available with the EVP_Encrypt...
       functions.  The EVP_Digest... functions provide message
       digests.

       Algorithms are loaded with OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(3).
