.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The EVP envelope routines are a high level interface to envelope
encryption. They generate a random key and then \*(L"envelope\*(R" it by
using public key encryption. Data can then be encrypted using this
key.
.PP
\fIEVP_SealInit()\fR initialises a cipher context \fBctx\fR for encryption
with cipher \fBtype\fR using a random secret key and IV supplied in
the \fBiv\fR parameter. \fBtype\fR is normally supplied by a function such
as \fIEVP_des_cbc()\fR. The secret key is encrypted using one or more public
keys, this allows the same encrypted data to be decrypted using any
of the corresponding private keys. \fBek\fR is an array of buffers where
the public key encrypted secret key will be written, each buffer must
contain enough room for the corresponding encrypted key: that is
\fBek[i]\fR must have room for \fBEVP_PKEY_size(pubk[i])\fR bytes. The actual
size of each encrypted secret key is written to the array \fBekl\fR. \fBpubk\fR is
an array of \fBnpubk\fR public keys.
.PP
\fIEVP_SealUpdate()\fR and \fIEVP_SealFinal()\fR have exactly the same properties
as the \fIEVP_EncryptUpdate()\fR and \fIEVP_EncryptFinal()\fR routines, as
documented on the the \fIEVP_EncryptInit(3)|EVP_EncryptInit(3)\fR manpage manual
page.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
\fIEVP_SealInit()\fR returns \-1 on error or \fBnpubk\fR if successful.
.PP
\fIEVP_SealUpdate()\fR and \fIEVP_SealFinal()\fR do not return values.
.SH "NOTES"
Because a random secret key is generated the random number generator
must be seeded before calling \fIEVP_SealInit()\fR.
.PP
The public key must be RSA because it is the only OpenSSL public key
algorithm that supports key transport.
.PP
Envelope encryption is the usual method of using public key encryption
on large amounts of data, this is because public key encryption is slow
but symmetric encryption is fast. So symmetric encryption is used for
bulk encryption and the small random symmetric key used is transferred
using public key encryption.
