While stereotyped repetitions are frowned upon in literature, they serve a useful purpose in manual pages, because it is easier for the user to find certain information if it is always presented in the same way. For that reason, this commit harmonizes the varying formulations in the HISTORY section about which functions, flags, etc. were added in which OpenSSL version. It also attempts to make the pod files more grep friendly by avoiding to insert line breaks between the symbol names and the corresponding version number in which they were introduced (wherever possible). Some punctuation and typographical errors were fixed on the way. Reviewed-by: Tim Hudson <tjh@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/7854)

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_name() returns a pointer to the name of B<cipher>. If the
|
|
B<cipher> is NULL, it returns "(NONE)".
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_standard_name() returns a pointer to the standard RFC name of
|
|
B<cipher>. If the B<cipher> is NULL, it returns "(NONE)". If the B<cipher>
|
|
has no standard name, it returns B<NULL>. If B<cipher> was defined in both
|
|
SSLv3 and TLS, it returns the TLS name.
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_cipher_name() returns a pointer to the OpenSSL name of B<stdname>.
|
|
If the B<stdname> is NULL, or B<stdname> has no corresponding OpenSSL name,
|
|
it returns "(NONE)". Where both exist, B<stdname> should be the TLS name rather
|
|
than the SSLv3 name.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_bits() returns the number of secret bits used for B<cipher>.
|
|
If B<cipher> is NULL, 0 is returned.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_version() returns string which indicates the SSL/TLS protocol
|
|
version that first defined the cipher. It returns "(NONE)" if B<cipher> is NULL.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_cipher_nid() returns the cipher NID corresponding to B<c>.
|
|
If there is no cipher (e.g. for cipher suites with no encryption) then
|
|
B<NID_undef> is returned.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_digest_nid() returns the digest NID corresponding to the MAC
|
|
used by B<c> during record encryption/decryption. If there is no digest (e.g.
|
|
for AEAD cipher suites) then B<NID_undef> is returned.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_handshake_digest() returns an EVP_MD for the digest used during
|
|
the SSL/TLS handshake when using the SSL_CIPHER B<c>. Note that this may be
|
|
different to the digest used to calculate the MAC for encrypted records.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_kx_nid() returns the key exchange NID corresponding to the method
|
|
used by B<c>. If there is no key exchange, then B<NID_undef> is returned.
|
|
If any appropriate key exchange algorithm can be used (as in the case of TLS 1.3
|
|
cipher suites) B<NID_kx_any> is returned. Examples (not comprehensive):
|
|
|
|
NID_kx_rsa
|
|
NID_kx_ecdhe
|
|
NID_kx_dhe
|
|
NID_kx_psk
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_auth_nid() returns the authentication NID corresponding to the method
|
|
used by B<c>. If there is no authentication, then B<NID_undef> is returned.
|
|
If any appropriate authentication algorithm can be used (as in the case of
|
|
TLS 1.3 cipher suites) B<NID_auth_any> is returned. Examples (not comprehensive):
|
|
|
|
NID_auth_rsa
|
|
NID_auth_ecdsa
|
|
NID_auth_psk
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_is_aead() returns 1 if the cipher B<c> is AEAD (e.g. GCM or
|
|
ChaCha20/Poly1305), and 0 if it is not AEAD.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_find() returns a B<SSL_CIPHER> structure which has the cipher ID stored
|
|
in B<ptr>. The B<ptr> parameter is a two element array of B<char>, which stores the
|
|
two-byte TLS cipher ID (as allocated by IANA) in network byte order. This parameter
|
|
is usually retrieved from a TLS packet by using functions like
|
|
L<SSL_client_hello_get0_ciphers(3)>. SSL_CIPHER_find() returns NULL if an
|
|
error occurs or the indicated cipher is not found.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_id() returns the OpenSSL-specific ID of the given cipher B<c>. That ID is
|
|
not the same as the IANA-specific ID.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_protocol_id() returns the two-byte ID used in the TLS protocol of the given
|
|
cipher B<c>.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_description() returns a textual description of the cipher used
|
|
into the buffer B<buf> of length B<len> provided. If B<buf> is provided, it
|
|
must be at least 128 bytes, otherwise a buffer will be allocated using
|
|
OPENSSL_malloc(). If the provided buffer is too small, or the allocation fails,
|
|
B<NULL> is returned.
|
|
|
|
The string returned by SSL_CIPHER_description() consists of several fields
|
|
separated by whitespace:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item <ciphername>
|
|
|
|
Textual representation of the cipher name.
|
|
|
|
=item <protocol version>
|
|
|
|
Protocol version, such as B<TLSv1.2>, when the cipher was first defined.
|
|
|
|
=item Kx=<key exchange>
|
|
|
|
Key exchange method such as B<RSA>, B<ECDHE>, etc.
|
|
|
|
=item Au=<authentication>
|
|
|
|
Authentication method such as B<RSA>, B<None>, etc.. None is the
|
|
representation of anonymous ciphers.
|
|
|
|
=item Enc=<symmetric encryption method>
|
|
|
|
Encryption method, with number of secret bits, such as B<AESGCM(128)>.
|
|
|
|
=item Mac=<message authentication code>
|
|
|
|
Message digest, such as B<SHA256>.

=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
The SSL_CIPHER_get_version() function was updated to always return the
|
|
correct protocol string in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
|
|
|
|
The SSL_CIPHER_description() function was changed to return B<NULL> on error,
|
|
rather than a fixed string, in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
|
|
|
|
The SSL_CIPHER_get_handshake_digest() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
|
|
|
|
The SSL_CIPHER_standard_name() function was globally available in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
|
|
Before OpenSSL 1.1.1, tracing (B<enable-ssl-trace> argument to Configure) was
|
|
required to enable this function.
|
|
|
|
The OPENSSL_cipher_name() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
