EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv(3)   OpenSSL  EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv(3)



NAME
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv, EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_updated_iv,
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv, EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv,
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst - Routines to inspect EVP_CIPHER_CTX IV data

LIBRARY
       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/evp.h>

        int EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, void *buf, size_t len);
        int EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_updated_iv(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, void *buf, size_t len);

       The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can
       be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable
       version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):

        const unsigned char *EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv(const EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx);
        const unsigned char *EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv(const EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx);
        unsigned char *EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx);

DESCRIPTION
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_updated_iv()
       copy initialization vector (IV) information from the EVP_CIPHER_CTX
       into the caller-supplied buffer. EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv_length(3) can be
       used to determine an appropriate buffer size, and if the supplied
       buffer is too small, an error will be returned (and no data copied).
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv() accesses the ("original") IV that was
       supplied when the EVP_CIPHER_CTX was initialized, and
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_updated_iv() accesses the current "IV state" of the
       cipher, which is updated during cipher operation for certain cipher
       modes (e.g., CBC and OFB).

       The functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv(), and
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst() are deprecated functions that provide
       similar (at a conceptual level) functionality.  EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv()
       returns a pointer to the beginning of the "IV state" as maintained
       internally in the EVP_CIPHER_CTX; EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv() returns
       a pointer to the beginning of the ("original") IV, as maintained by the
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX, that was provided when the EVP_CIPHER_CTX was
       initialized; and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv_noconst() is the same as
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv() but has a different return type for the pointer.

RETURN VALUES
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_updated_iv()
       return 1 on success and 0 on failure.

       The functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv(), and
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst() return a pointer to an IV as an array of
       bytes on success, and NULL on failure.

HISTORY
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_original_iv() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_updated_iv()
       were added in OpenSSL 3.0.0.

       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv(), and
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst() were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0, and were
       deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.0.
