The names of these ciphers have an "SSL_" prefix, but the RFC names use "TLS_": https://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-parameters/tls-parameters.xhtml#tls-parameters-4 This dates back to these ciphers being originally defined in SSLv3. As SSLv3 is on its way out anyway and this is a new set of APIs, consistently use the TLS names.

=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_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>.

|
|
|
|
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH Au=RSA Enc=AESGCM(256) Mac=AEAD
|

=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_version() was updated to always return the correct protocol
|
|
string in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_description() was changed to return B<NULL> on error,
|
|
rather than a fixed string, in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_handshake_digest() was added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_standard_name() 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.
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_cipher_name() was added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
