If the \&\fBcipher\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 it returns \*(L"(\s-1NONE\s0)\*(R". .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_standard_name()\fR returns a pointer to the standard \s-1RFC\s0 name of \&\fBcipher\fR. If the \fBcipher\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 it returns \*(L"(\s-1NONE\s0)\*(R". If the \fBcipher\fR has no standard name, it returns \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR. If \fBcipher\fR was defined in both SSLv3 and \s-1TLS,\s0 it returns the \s-1TLS\s0 name. .PP \&\fBOPENSSL_cipher_name()\fR returns a pointer to the OpenSSL name of \fBstdname\fR. If the \fBstdname\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 or \fBstdname\fR has no corresponding OpenSSL name, it returns \*(L"(\s-1NONE\s0)\*(R". Where both exist, \fBstdname\fR should be the \s-1TLS\s0 name rather than the SSLv3 name. .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_bits()\fR returns the number of secret bits used for \fBcipher\fR. If \fBcipher\fR is \s-1NULL, 0\s0 is returned. .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_version()\fR returns string which indicates the \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 protocol version that first defined the cipher. It returns \*(L"(\s-1NONE\s0)\*(R" if \fBcipher\fR is \s-1NULL.\s0 .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_cipher_nid()\fR returns the cipher \s-1NID\s0 corresponding to \fBc\fR. If there is no cipher (e.g. for cipher suites with no encryption) then \&\fBNID_undef\fR is returned. .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_digest_nid()\fR returns the digest \s-1NID\s0 corresponding to the \s-1MAC\s0 used by \fBc\fR during record encryption/decryption. If there is no digest (e.g. for \s-1AEAD\s0 cipher suites) then \fBNID_undef\fR is returned. .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_handshake_digest()\fR returns an \s-1EVP_MD\s0 for the digest used during the \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 handshake when using the \s-1SSL_CIPHER\s0 \fBc\fR. Note that this may be different to the digest used to calculate the \s-1MAC\s0 for encrypted records. .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_kx_nid()\fR returns the key exchange \s-1NID\s0 corresponding to the method used by \fBc\fR. If there is no key exchange, then \fBNID_undef\fR is returned. If any appropriate key exchange algorithm can be used (as in the case of \s-1TLS 1.3\s0 cipher suites) \fBNID_kx_any\fR is returned. Examples (not comprehensive): .PP .Vb 4 \& NID_kx_rsa \& NID_kx_ecdhe \& NID_kx_dhe \& NID_kx_psk .Ve .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_auth_nid()\fR returns the authentication \s-1NID\s0 corresponding to the method used by \fBc\fR. If there is no authentication, then \fBNID_undef\fR is returned. If any appropriate authentication algorithm can be used (as in the case of \&\s-1TLS 1.3\s0 cipher suites) \fBNID_auth_any\fR is returned. Examples (not comprehensive): .PP .Vb 3 \& NID_auth_rsa \& NID_auth_ecdsa \& NID_auth_psk .Ve .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_is_aead()\fR returns 1 if the cipher \fBc\fR is \s-1AEAD\s0 (e.g. \s-1GCM\s0 or ChaCha20/Poly1305), and 0 if it is not \s-1AEAD.\s0 .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_find()\fR returns a \fB\s-1SSL_CIPHER\s0\fR structure which has the cipher \s-1ID\s0 stored in \fBptr\fR. The \fBptr\fR parameter is a two element array of \fBchar\fR, which stores the two-byte \s-1TLS\s0 cipher \s-1ID\s0 (as allocated by \s-1IANA\s0) in network byte order. This parameter is usually retrieved from a \s-1TLS\s0 packet by using functions like \&\fBSSL_client_hello_get0_ciphers\fR\|(3). \fBSSL_CIPHER_find()\fR returns \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurs or the indicated cipher is not found. .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_id()\fR returns the OpenSSL-specific \s-1ID\s0 of the given cipher \fBc\fR. That \s-1ID\s0 is not the same as the IANA-specific \s-1ID.\s0 .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_protocol_id()\fR returns the two-byte \s-1ID\s0 used in the \s-1TLS\s0 protocol of the given cipher \fBc\fR. .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_description()\fR returns a textual description of the cipher used into the buffer \fBbuf\fR of length \fBlen\fR provided. If \fBbuf\fR is provided, it must be at least 128 bytes, otherwise a buffer will be allocated using \&\fBOPENSSL_malloc()\fR. If the provided buffer is too small, or the allocation fails, \&\fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR is returned. .PP The string returned by \fBSSL_CIPHER_description()\fR consists of several fields separated by whitespace: .IP "<ciphername>" 4 .IX Item "<ciphername>" Textual representation of the cipher name. .IP "<protocol version>" 4 .IX Item "<protocol version>" The minimum protocol version that the ciphersuite supports, such as \fBTLSv1.2\fR. Note that this is not always the same as the protocol version in which the ciphersuite was first defined because some ciphersuites are backwards compatible with earlier protocol versions. .IP "Kx=<key exchange>" 4 .IX Item "Kx=<key exchange>" Key exchange method such as \fB\s-1RSA\s0\fR, \fB\s-1ECDHE\s0\fR, etc. .IP "Au=<authentication>" 4 .IX Item "Au=<authentication>" Authentication method such as \fB\s-1RSA\s0\fR, \fBNone\fR, etc.. None is the representation of anonymous ciphers. .IP "Enc=<symmetric encryption method>" 4 .IX Item "Enc=<symmetric encryption method>" Encryption method, with number of secret bits, such as \fB\s-1AESGCM\s0(128)\fR. .IP "Mac=<message authentication code>" 4 .IX Item "Mac=<message authentication code>" Message digest, such as \fB\s-1SHA256\s0\fR. .PP Some examples for the output of \fBSSL_CIPHER_description()\fR: .PP .Vb 2 \& ECDHE\-RSA\-AES256\-GCM\-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH Au=RSA Enc=AESGCM(256) Mac=AEAD \& RSA\-PSK\-AES256\-CBC\-SHA384 TLSv1.0 Kx=RSAPSK Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA384 .Ve .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_name()\fR, \fBSSL_CIPHER_standard_name()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_cipher_name()\fR, \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_version()\fR and \fBSSL_CIPHER_description()\fR return the corresponding value in a null-terminated string for a specific cipher or \*(L"(\s-1NONE\s0)\*(R" if the cipher is not found. .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_bits()\fR returns a positive integer representing the number of secret bits or 0 if an error occurred. .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_cipher_nid()\fR, \fBSSL_CIPHER_get_digest_nid()\fR, \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_kx_nid()\fR and \fBSSL_CIPHER_get_auth_nid()\fR return the \s-1NID\s0 value or \&\fBNID_undef\fR if an error occurred. .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_handshake_digest()\fR returns a valid \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred. .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_is_aead()\fR returns 1 if the cipher is \s-1AEAD\s0 or 0 otherwise. .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_find()\fR returns a valid \fB\s-1SSL_CIPHER\s0\fR structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred. .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_id()\fR returns a 4\-byte integer representing the OpenSSL-specific \s-1ID.\s0 .PP \&\fBSSL_CIPHER_get_protocol_id()\fR returns a 2\-byte integer representing the \s-1TLS\s0 protocol-specific \s-1ID.\s0 .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBssl\fR\|(7), \fBSSL_get_current_cipher\fR\|(3), \&\fBSSL_get_ciphers\fR\|(3), \fBciphers\fR\|(1) .SH "HISTORY" .IX Header "HISTORY" The \fBSSL_CIPHER_get_version()\fR function was updated to always return the correct protocol string in OpenSSL 1.1.0. .PP The \fBSSL_CIPHER_description()\fR function was changed to return \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR on error, rather than a fixed string, in OpenSSL 1.1.0. .PP The \fBSSL_CIPHER_get_handshake_digest()\fR function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.1. .PP The \fBSSL_CIPHER_standard_name()\fR function was globally available in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
