EVP_CIPHER_CTX_GET_ORIGINAL_IV(3ossl) OpenSSL
NAME
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv, EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_updated_iv,
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv, EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv,
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst - Routines to inspect EVP_CIPHER_CTX IV data
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
int EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, void *buf, size_t len);
int EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_updated_iv(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, void *buf, size_t len);
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can
be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable
version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):
const unsigned char *EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv(const EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx);
const unsigned char *EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv(const EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx);
unsigned char *EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx);
DESCRIPTION
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_updated_iv()
copy initialization vector (IV) information from the EVP_CIPHER_CTX
into the caller-supplied buffer. EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv_length(3) can be
used to determine an appropriate buffer size, and if the supplied
buffer is too small, an error will be returned (and no data copied).
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv() accesses the ("original") IV that was
supplied when the EVP_CIPHER_CTX was initialized, and
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_updated_iv() accesses the current "IV state" of the
cipher, which is updated during cipher operation for certain cipher
modes (e.g., CBC and OFB).
The functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv(), and
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst() are deprecated functions that provide
similar (at a conceptual level) functionality. EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv()
returns a pointer to the beginning of the "IV state" as maintained
internally in the EVP_CIPHER_CTX; EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv() returns
a pointer to the beginning of the ("original") IV, as maintained by the
EVP_CIPHER_CTX, that was provided when the EVP_CIPHER_CTX was
initialized; and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv_noconst() is the same as
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv() but has a different return type for the pointer.
RETURN VALUES
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_updated_iv()
return 1 on success and 0 on failure.
The functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv(), and
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst() return a pointer to an IV as an array of
bytes on success, and NULL on failure.
HISTORY
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_updated_iv()
were added in OpenSSL 3.0.0.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv(), and
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst() were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0, and were
deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.0.
