💖 EVP_CIPHER-RC2 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to EVP_CIPHER-RC2(7SSL) — the OpenSSL glow-up page for RC2, and honestly? she's giving vintage. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

EVP_CIPHER-RC2 — the whole RC2 EVP_CIPHER implementation situation, no cap.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: this is support for RC2 symmetric encryption using the EVP_CIPHER API. That's it, that's the vibe. 💅

🦋 Algorithm Names 🦋

the following algorithms are available in the legacy provider, and yes, "legacy" is the key word here — iykyk. here's the full roster, literally all of them:

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

like… six lines, ten names, they've been through things. 🙈

🌈 Parameters 🌈

This implementation supports the parameters described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_EncryptInit(3). if you need the details, that's your girl, go read her fr fr. 💜
