🌸 NAME 🌸

page_evp β€” EVP, aka the generic crypto interface 🫢

  • EVP_CipherInit_ex() and EVP_Cipher() β€” ngl these two are pretty easy to understand forward? like, you can just read them and go "okay periodt, got it" ✨

fr fr, if the first two had you feeling like the main character, the last two will humble you. go read the example, bestie πŸ™ˆ

and that's the whole vibe πŸ’– this was the Heimdal crypto library page_evp(3), Version 7.8.0, dated Tue Nov 15 2022 🌈 mwah, slay, bye πŸ‘‘πŸ’…
