💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the EVP_CIPHER-RC5(7ossl) page — this is all about the RC5 EVP_CIPHER implementations, and it’s giving very specific OpenSSL manual energy ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So this page is all about support for RC5 symmetric encryption using the EVP_CIPHER API. That’s the whole vibe, no cap.

Disabled by default, bestie. 🚨 Use the enable-rc5 configuration option to enable it.

🧚 Algorithm Names 🧚

The following algorithms are available in the legacy provider:

  • "RC5-CBC" or "RC5"
  • "RC5-ECB"
  • "RC5-OFB"
  • "RC5-CFB"

🎀 Parameters 🎀

This implementation supports the parameters described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_EncryptInit(3). That’s where the parameter deets live, so go peek there 💅
