NAME EVP_PBE_CipherInit, EVP_PBE_CipherInit_ex, EVP_PBE_find, EVP_PBE_find_ex, EVP_PBE_alg_add_type, EVP_PBE_alg_add - Password based encryption routines
SYNOPSIS #include <openssl/evp.h>
int EVP_PBE_CipherInit(ASN1_OBJECT *pbe_obj, const char *pass, int passlen, ASN1_TYPE *param, EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, int en_de); int EVP_PBE_CipherInit_ex(ASN1_OBJECT *pbe_obj, const char *pass, int passlen, ASN1_TYPE *param, EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, int en_de, OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);
int EVP_PBE_find(int type, int pbe_nid, int *pcnid, int *pmnid, EVP_PBE_KEYGEN **pkeygen); int EVP_PBE_find_ex(int type, int pbe_nid, int *pcnid, int *pmnid, EVP_PBE_KEYGEN **pkeygen, EVP_PBE_KEYGEN_EX **keygen_ex);
int EVP_PBE_alg_add_type(int pbe_type, int pbe_nid, int cipher_nid, int md_nid, EVP_PBE_KEYGEN *keygen); int EVP_PBE_alg_add(int nid, const EVP_CIPHER *cipher, const EVP_MD *md, EVP_PBE_KEYGEN *keygen);
DESCRIPTION PBE operations EVP_PBE_CipherInit() and EVP_PBE_CipherInit_ex() initialise an EVP_CIPHER_CTX ctx for encryption (en_de=1) or decryption (en_de=0) using the password pass of length passlen. The PBE algorithm type and parameters are extracted from an OID pbe_obj and parameters param.
EVP_PBE_CipherInit_ex() also allows the application to specify a library context libctx and property query propq to select appropriate algorithm implementations.
PBE algorithm search EVP_PBE_find() and EVP_PBE_find_ex() search for a matching algorithm using two parameters:
1. An algorithm type type which can be:
o EVP_PBE_TYPE_OUTER - A PBE algorithm
o EVP_PBE_TYPE_PRF - A pseudo-random function
o EVP_PBE_TYPE_KDF - A key derivation function
2. A pbe_nid which can represent the algorithm identifier with parameters e.g. NID_pbeWithSHA1AndRC2_CBC or an algorithm class e.g. NID_pbes2.
They return the algorithm's cipher ID pcnid, digest ID pmnid and a key generation function for the algorithm pkeygen. EVP_PBE_CipherInit_ex() also returns an extended key generation function keygen_ex which takes a library context and property query.

NOTES The arguments pbe_obj and param to EVP_PBE_CipherInit() and EVP_PBE_CipherInit_ex() together form an X509_ALGOR and can often be extracted directly from this structure.
RETURN VALUES Return value is 1 for success and 0 if an error occurred.
