Hello, Maybe attached simple example will help.
Use: # gcc -o evp_enc evp_enc.c -lcrypto # cat /etc/group | ./evp_enc Best regards, -- Marek Marcola <marek.marc...@malkom.pl> owner-openssl-us...@openssl.org wrote on 03/28/2012 09:02:59 AM: > Prashanth kumar N <prashanth.kuma...@gmail.com> > Sent by: owner-openssl-us...@openssl.org > > 03/28/2012 09:06 AM > > Please respond to > openssl-users@openssl.org > > To > > openssl-users@openssl.org > > cc > > Subject > > Re: How to do encryption using AES in Openssl > > I tried to use EVP but let if of go due to bad documentation... > On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 2:49 AM, Jakob Bohm <jb-open...@wisemo.com> wrote: > On 3/27/2012 10:42 PM, Jeffrey Walton wrote: > On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 4:26 PM, Ken Goldman<kgold...@us.ibm.com> wrote: > On 3/27/2012 3:51 PM, Jakob Bohm wrote: > On 3/27/2012 9:37 PM, Dr. Stephen Henson wrote: > You should really be using EVP instead of the low level routines. > They are well documented with examples. > Where, precisely? > > I didn't find it either when I was looking a few years ago, so I > settled on the obvious low level APIs too. > In fact, neither the low level or the EVP APIs are documented.
