EVP_CIPHER-NULL(7)                  OpenSSL                 EVP_CIPHER-NULL(7)




NAME

       EVP_CIPHER-NULL - The NULL EVP_CIPHER implementation


DESCRIPTION

       Support for a NULL symmetric encryption using the EVP_CIPHER API.  This
       is used when the TLS cipher suite is TLS_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL.  This
       does no encryption (just copies the data) and has a mac size of zero.

   Algorithm Name
       The following algorithm is available in the default provider:

       "NULL"

   Parameters
       This implementation supports the following parameters:

       Gettable EVP_CIPHER parameters

       See "Gettable EVP_CIPHER parameters" in EVP_EncryptInit(3)

       Gettable EVP_CIPHER_CTX parameters

       "keylen" (OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_KEYLEN) <unsigned integer>
       "ivlen" (OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_IVLEN and <OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_AEAD_IVLEN)
       <unsigned integer>
       "tls-mac" (OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS_MAC) <octet ptr>

       See "PARAMETERS" in EVP_EncryptInit(3) for further information.

       Settable EVP_CIPHER_CTX parameters

       "tls-mac-size" (OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS_MAC_SIZE) <unsigned integer>

       See "PARAMETERS" in EVP_EncryptInit(3) for further information.
