If if this not in that category, it is a very broad, open-ended question.
Better to read the OpenSSL source code, and ask specific questions when
you encounter specific issues.
- Why do you need a custom cipher?
- Are you adding symmetric algorithms to libcrypto, cipher-suites
to SSL/TLS or both?
- What's wrong with the existing ciphers or cipher-suites? Cryptography
is rarely the weakest link in OpenSSL applications.
- Do you intend to provide assembly language optimizations for various
platforms?
... This is a big topic, and probably the best answer is: study the code
to see how the existing ciphers are integrated into libcrypto and the
EVP abstraction layer and how cipher-suites are integrated into libssl.
