💅 EVP_CIPHER-DES 💅

ok so bestie, welcome to the EVP_CIPHER-DES page — it lives in the 7ossl manual section (that's the OpenSSL one, iykyk) 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

EVP_CIPHER-DES — literally the DES EVP_CIPHER implementations. that's the whole vibe 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this page is all about DES symmetric encryption support, and it works through the EVP_CIPHER API. no cap, that's it. 🫶

🧚 Algorithm Names 🧚

okay so the algorithms are split up by which provider you're running, and you gotta know which is which. here we go:

the following algorithms are available in the FIPS provider as well as the default provider:

  • "DES-EDE3-ECB" or "DES-EDE3"
  • "DES-EDE3-CBC" or "DES3"

the following algorithms are available in the default provider, but not the FIPS provider:

  • "DES-EDE3-CFB8" and "DES-EDE3-CFB1"
  • "DES-EDE-ECB" or "DES-EDE"
  • "DES-EDE-CBC"
  • "DES-EDE-OFB"
  • "DES-EDE-CFB"
  • "DES3-WRAP"

the following algorithms are available in the legacy provider:

  • "DES-ECB"
  • "DES-CBC"
  • "DES-OFB"
  • "DES-CFB", "DES-CFB1" and "DES-CFB8"
  • "DESX-CBC"
ngl, if your algorithm isn't showing up, check which provider you've got loaded first before you spiral — the legacy ones are in the legacy provider, periodt 💀

💜 Parameters 💜

this implementation supports the parameters described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_EncryptInit(3) — and that includes "encrypt-check" and "fips-indicator". 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

(and yes there's a lil trailing comma at the end of that list in the original, we keep it as-is because we're thorough like that 💅)

⭐ and that's the whole page, bestie!! this version is 3.5.6, dated 2026-04-07, and it's the EVP_CIPHER-DES(7ossl) page — go forth and encrypt responsibly, mwah 🍓💖
