Hi, everyone.

 

(This got no response on the developers list, so I'll retry it here.)

 

Should EVP_Cipher() be used?  I've found an inconsistency in its return
values:  For the cipher EVP_aes_256_gcm, successful decryption returns
the length of the input.  (That's what aes_gcm_cipher() returns.)  For
other ciphers, like EVP_aes_256_cbc, EVP_Cipher() returns 1 for success.
Is this inconsistency indicative of a deprecated API that isn't being
maintained?  It's not documented on the website.

 

Thanks,

 

Paul
