EVP_CIPHER-RC2(7ossl)

📦 version 3.5.0, in opensuse-leap 16.0

🌸 NAME 🌸

EVP_CIPHER-RC2 — the RC2 EVP_CIPHER implementations. This is the OpenSSL 7ossl manual page, bestie, and it's here to explain the RC2 encryption options without making your brain hurt 💖

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

It's giving support for RC2 symmetric encryption using the EVP_CIPHER API. That's the whole vibe: RC2, symmetric encryption, EVP_CIPHER, slay ✨

🎀 Algorithm Names 🎀

The following algorithms are available in the legacy provider — here's the full lineup, no cap:

  • "RC2-CBC", "RC2" or "RC2-128"
  • "RC2-40-CBC" or "RC2-40"
  • "RC2-64-CBC" or "RC2-64"
  • "RC2-ECB"
  • "RC2-CFB"
  • "RC2-OFB"

🔧 Parameters 🔧

This implementation supports the parameters described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_EncryptInit(3). That's where the parameter deets live, so go peek if you need them 🫶
