AES for 128, 192 and 256 bit keys in the following modes: CBC, CFB with 128-bit
shift, CFB with 1-bit shift, CFB with 8-bit shift, CTR, ECB, and OFB.

=item EVP_aes_128_cbc_hmac_sha1(),
EVP_aes_256_cbc_hmac_sha1()

Authenticated encryption with AES in CBC mode using SHA-1 as HMAC, with keys of
128 and 256 bits length respectively. The authentication tag is 160 bits long.

WARNING: this is not intended for usage outside of TLS and requires calling of
some undocumented ctrl functions. These ciphers do not conform to the EVP AEAD
interface.

=item EVP_aes_128_cbc_hmac_sha256(),
EVP_aes_256_cbc_hmac_sha256()

Authenticated encryption with AES in CBC mode using SHA256 (SHA-2, 256-bits) as
HMAC, with keys of 128 and 256 bits length respectively. The authentication tag
is 256 bits long.

WARNING: this is not intended for usage outside of TLS and requires calling of
some undocumented ctrl functions. These ciphers do not conform to the EVP AEAD
interface.

EVP_aes_128_ocb(),

EVP_aes_256_ocb()

AES for 128, 192 and 256 bit keys in CBC-MAC Mode (CCM), Galois Counter Mode
(GCM) and OCB Mode respectively. These ciphers require additional control
operations to function correctly, see the L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)/AEAD Interface>
section for details.

EVP_aes_128_wrap_pad(),
EVP_aes_192_wrap_pad(),
EVP_aes_256_wrap_pad()

AES key wrap with 128, 192 and 256 bit keys, as according to RFC 3394 section
2.2.1 ("wrap") and RFC 5649 section 4.1 ("wrap with padding") respectively.

=item EVP_aes_128_xts(),
EVP_aes_256_xts()

AES XTS mode (XTS-AES) is standardized in IEEE Std. 1619-2007 and described in NIST
SP 800-38E. The XTS (XEX-based tweaked-codebook mode with ciphertext stealing)
mode was designed by Prof. Phillip Rogaway of University of California, Davis,
intended for encrypting data on a storage device.

XTS-AES provides confidentiality but not authentication of data. It also
requires a key of double-length for protection of a certain key size.
In particular, XTS-AES-128 (B<EVP_aes_128_xts>) takes input of a 256-bit key to
achieve AES 128-bit security, and XTS-AES-256 (B<EVP_aes_256_xts>) takes input
of a 512-bit key to achieve AES 256-bit security.

The XTS implementation in OpenSSL does not support streaming. That is there must
only be one L<EVP_EncryptUpdate(3)> call per L<EVP_EncryptInit_ex(3)> call (and
similarly with the "Decrypt" functions).

The I<iv> parameter to L<EVP_EncryptInit_ex(3)> or L<EVP_DecryptInit_ex(3)> is
the XTS "tweak" value.

=head1 NOTES

Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
L<EVP_CIPHER_fetch(3)> with L<EVP_CIPHER-AES(7)> instead.
See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

These functions return an B<EVP_CIPHER> structure that contains the
implementation of the symmetric cipher. See L<EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3)> for
details of the B<EVP_CIPHER> structure.
