EVP_CIPHER-SM4

NAME

EVP_CIPHER-SM4 - The SM4 EVP_CIPHER implementations

DESCRIPTION

Support for SM4 symmetric encryption using the EVP_CIPHER API.

Algorithm Names

The following algorithms are available in the default provider:

  • "SM4-CBC:SM4"
  • "SM4-ECB"
  • "SM4-CTR"
  • "SM4-OFB" or "SM4-OFB128"
  • "SM4-CFB" or "SM4-CFB128"
  • "SM4-GCM"
  • "SM4-CCM"
  • "SM4-XTS"

Parameters

This implementation supports the parameters described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_EncryptInit(3).

NOTES

The SM4-XTS implementation allows streaming to be performed, but each EVP_EncryptUpdate(3) or EVP_DecryptUpdate(3) call requires each input to be a multiple of the blocksize. Only the final EVP_EncryptUpdate() or EVP_DecryptUpdate() call can optionally have an input that is not a multiple of the blocksize but is larger than one block. In that case ciphertext stealing (CTS) is used to fill the block.
