EVP_CIPHER Documentation updates

EVP_EncryptInit.pod now follows the pattern used in EVP_DigestInit.pod.
i.e.
'=item' is used for methods
PARAMETERS and CONTROLS sections have been added.

The PARAMETERS list has been moved from provider-cipher.pod (this file just
has a link now).
Missing fields were updated.

The CONTROLS shows the mappings to OSSL_PARAM keys.

=item EVP_EncryptUpdate()
Encrypts I<inl> bytes from the buffer I<in> and writes the encrypted version to

of data. The amount of data written depends on the block alignment of the
encrypted data.
For most ciphers and modes, the amount of data written can be anything
from zero bytes to (inl + cipher_block_size - 1) bytes.
For wrap cipher modes, the amount of data written can be anything
from zero bytes to (inl + cipher_block_size) bytes.
For stream ciphers, the amount of data written can be anything from zero
bytes to inl bytes.

Sets the MAC key used by composite AEAD ciphers such as AES-CBC-HMAC-SHA256.
=item "speed" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_SPEED>) <unsigned integer>

by AES SIV ciphers which disallow multiple operations by default.
Setting "speed" to 1 allows another encrypt or decrypt operation to be
performed. This is used for performance testing.
=item "tls-version" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS_VERSION>) <integer>
Sets the tls-version.
=item "tls-mac-size" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS_MAC_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>

=item "tlsaad" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_AEAD_TLS1_AAD>) <octet string>
Sets TLSv1.2 AAD information for the associated cipher ctx I<ctx>.
TLSv1.2 AAD information is always 13 bytes in length and is as defined for the
"additional_data" field described in section 6.2.3.3 of RFC5246.
=item "tlsivfixed" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_AEAD_TLS1_IV_FIXED>) <octet string>
Sets the fixed portion of an IV for an AEAD cipher used in a TLS record
encryption/ decryption for the associated cipher ctx.
TLS record encryption/decryption always occurs "in place" so that the input and
output buffers are always the same memory location.
AEAD IVs in TLSv1.2 consist of an implicit "fixed" part and an explicit part
that varies with every record.
Setting a TLS fixed IV changes a cipher to encrypt/decrypt TLS records.
TLS records are encrypted/decrypted using a single OSSL_FUNC_cipher_cipher call per
record.
For a record decryption the first bytes of the input buffer will be the explicit
part of the IV and the final bytes of the input buffer will be the AEAD tag.
The length of the explicit part of the IV and the tag length will depend on the
cipher in use and will be defined in the RFC for the relevant ciphersuite.
In order to allow for "in place" decryption the plaintext output should be
written to the same location in the output buffer that the ciphertext payload
was read from, i.e. immediately after the explicit IV.
When encrypting a record the first bytes of the input buffer will be empty to
allow space for the explicit IV, as will the final bytes where the tag will
be written.
The length of the input buffer will include the length of the explicit IV, the
payload, and the tag bytes.
The cipher implementation should generate the explicit IV and write it to the
beginning of the output buffer, do "in place" encryption of the payload and
write that to the output buffer, and finally add the tag onto the end of the
output buffer.
Whether encrypting or decrypting the value written to I<*outl> in the
OSSL_FUNC_cipher_cipher call should be the length of the payload excluding the explicit
IV length and the tag length.
=item "tlsivinv" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_AEAD_TLS1_SET_IV_INV>) <octet string>
Sets the invocation field used for decryption.
Can only be called after "tlsivfixed" is set.
This is only used for GCM mode.
=item "tls1multi_enc" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS1_MULTIBLOCK_ENC>) <octet string>
Triggers a multiblock tls1 encrypt operation for a tls1 aware cipher that supports
sending 4 or 8 records in one go.
The cipher performs both the MAC and encrypt stages and constructs the record
headers itself.
"tls1multi_enc" supplies the output buffer for the encrypt operation,
"tls1multi_encin" & "tls1multi_interleave" must also be set in order to supply
values to the encrypt operation.
=item "tls1multi_encin" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS1_MULTIBLOCK_ENC_IN>) <octet string>
Supplies the data to encrypt for a tls1 multiblock cipher operation.
=item "tls1multi_maxsndfrag" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS1_MULTIBLOCK_MAX_SEND_FRAGMENT>) <unsigned integer>
Sets the maximum send fragment size for a tls1 multiblock cipher operation.
It must be set before using "tls1multi_maxbufsz".
The length of the "tls1multi_maxsndfrag" parameter should not exceed that of a B<size_t>.
=item "tls1multi_aad" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS1_MULTIBLOCK_AAD>) <octet string>
Sets the authenticated additional data used by a tls1 multiblock cipher operation.
The supplied data consists of 13 bytes of record data containing:
Bytes 0-7: The sequence number of the first record
Byte 8: The record type
Byte 9-10: The protocol version
Byte 11-12: Input length (Always 0)
"tls1multi_interleave" must also be set for this operation.

by AES SIV ciphers which disallow multiple operations by default.
Setting "speed" to 1 allows another encrypt or decrypt operation to be
performed. This is used for performance testing.
=item "tlsivgen" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_AEAD_TLS1_GET_IV_GEN>) <octet string>
Gets the invocation field generated for encryption.
Can only be called after "tlsivfixed" is set.
This is only used for GCM mode.
=item "tlsivinv" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_AEAD_TLS1_SET_IV_INV>) <octet string>
Sets the invocation field used for decryption.
Can only be called after "tlsivfixed" is set.
This is only used for GCM mode.
=item "tls1multi_enc" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS1_MULTIBLOCK_ENC>) <octet string>
Triggers a multiblock tls1 encrypt operation for a tls1 aware cipher that supports
sending 4 or 8 records in one go.
The cipher performs both the MAC and encrypt stages and constructs the record
headers itself.
"tls1multi_enc" supplies the output buffer for the encrypt operation,
"tls1multi_encin" & "tls1multi_interleave" must also be set in order to supply
values to the encrypt operation.
=item "tls1multi_enclen" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS1_MULTIBLOCK_ENC_LEN>) <unsigned integer>
Get the total length of the record returned from the "tls1multi_enc" operation.
=item "tls1multi_interleave" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS1_MULTIBLOCK_INTERLEAVE>) <unsigned integer>
Sets or gets the number of records being sent in one go for a tls1 multiblock
cipher operation (either 4 or 8 records).
=item "tls1multi_encin" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS1_MULTIBLOCK_ENC_IN>) <octet string>
Supplies the data to encrypt for a tls1 multiblock cipher operation.
=item "tls1multi_maxsndfrag" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS1_MULTIBLOCK_MAX_SEND_FRAGMENT>) <unsigned integer>
Sets the maximum send fragment size for a tls1 multiblock cipher operation.
It must be set before using "tls1multi_maxbufsz".
The length of the "tls1multi_maxsndfrag" parameter should not exceed that of a B<size_t>.
=item "tls1multi_maxbufsz" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS1_MULTIBLOCK_MAX_BUFSIZE>) <unsigned integer>
Gets the maximum record length for a tls1 multiblock cipher operation.
The length of the "tls1multi_maxbufsz" parameter should not exceed that of a B<size_t>.
=item "tls1multi_aad" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS1_MULTIBLOCK_AAD>) <octet string>
Sets the authenticated additional data used by a tls1 multiblock cipher operation.
The supplied data consists of 13 bytes of record data containing:
Bytes 0-7: The sequence number of the first record
Byte 8: The record type
Byte 9-10: The protocol version
Byte 11-12: Input length (Always 0)
"tls1multi_interleave" must also be set for this operation.
=item "tls1multi_aadpacklen" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS1_MULTIBLOCK_AAD_PACKLEN>) <unsigned integer>
Gets the result of running the "tls1multi_aad" operation.
=item "cts_mode" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_CTS_MODE>) <UTF8 string>
Sets the cipher text stealing mode. For all modes the output size is the same as
the input size.
Valid values for the mode are:
=over 4
=item "CS1"
The NIST variant of cipher text stealing.
For message lengths that are multiples of the block size it is equivalent to
using a "AES-CBC" cipher otherwise the second last cipher text block is a
partial block.
=item "CS2"
For message lengths that are multiples of the block size it is equivalent to
using a "AES-CBC" cipher, otherwise it is the same as "CS3".
=item "CS3"
The Kerberos5 variant of cipher text stealing which always swaps the last
cipher text block with the previous block (which may be a partial or full block
depending on the input length).
=back
The default is "CS1".
This is only supported for "AES-128-CBC-CTS", "AES-192-CBC-CTS" and "AES-256-CBC-CTS".
