pub struct Cipher(_);
Expand description

Represents a particular cipher algorithm.

See OpenSSL doc at EVP_EncryptInit for more information on each algorithms.

Implementations

Looks up the cipher for a certain nid.

This corresponds to EVP_get_cipherbynid

Returns the cipher’s Nid.

This corresponds to EVP_CIPHER_nid

Requires OpenSSL 1.1.0 or newer.

Requires OpenSSL 1.1.0 or newer.

Requires OpenSSL 1.1.0 or newer.

Requires OpenSSL 1.1.0 or newer.

Requires OpenSSL 1.1.0 or newer.

Creates a Cipher from a raw pointer to its OpenSSL type.

Safety

The caller must ensure the pointer is valid for the 'static lifetime.

Returns the length of keys used with this cipher.

Returns the length of the IV used with this cipher, or None if the cipher does not use an IV.

Returns the block size of the cipher.

Note

Stream ciphers such as RC4 have a block size of 1.
