Hello, I want to use AES encryption in my C application, but I am missing

someone points me to any how-to or source code? Thanks for you help.
consider using the EVP_Cipher* etc. functions (see EVP_CipherInit_ex
manpage)

Thanks Nils. This manpage shows a great example of an encryption/decryption
function using this high-level API. However, I have a last question: is there
any limit on the input buffer size for EVP_CipherUpdate()? I see in the
example
that you're using 1024 bytes buffers inside a for loop. In my
application, most
of the buffers I'm encrypting using AES-192 are <1024 bytes, but there
might be
cases where a buffer has a greater size (not so much though). I'm wondering if
calling EVP_CipherUpdate() only once would be generic enough to handle these
situations, or if I should use a for loop as you did. Thanks for any help.
