Earlier today, it took me five manuals! to find what on earth the "Performance"/"EVP_MD_fetch(3)" crosslinks actually mean: EVP_sha1(3) crypto(7) EVP_MD_fetch(3) (but not there! don't read that!) OSSL_PROVIDER-default(7) EVP_MD-SHA1(7) If, instead, EVP_sha1(3) referenced EVP_MD-SHA1(7) at /all/, which it should do, since it's supposed to be what you're replacing it with, but it doesn't actually say that, maybe people would use it. I know I didn't because it's basically just deadass buried As found by git grep -l 'and should consider using' Reviewed-by: Tomas Mraz <tomas@openssl.org> Reviewed-by: Matt Caswell <matt@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/22420)

=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
EVP_rc4,
|
|
EVP_rc4_40,
|
|
EVP_rc4_hmac_md5
|
|
- EVP RC4 stream cipher
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
|
|
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc4(void);
|
|
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc4_40(void);
|
|
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc4_hmac_md5(void);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The RC4 stream cipher for EVP.
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item EVP_rc4()
|
|
|
|
RC4 stream cipher. This is a variable key length cipher with a default key
|
|
length of 128 bits.
|
|
|
|
=item EVP_rc4_40()
|
|
|
|
RC4 stream cipher with 40 bit key length.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: this function is obsolete. Its usage should be replaced with the
|
|
EVP_rc4() and the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() functions.
|
|
|
|
=item EVP_rc4_hmac_md5()
|
|
|
|
Authenticated encryption with the RC4 stream cipher with MD5 as HMAC.
|
|
|
|
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.

=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-RC4(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.
