.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The EVP envelope routines are a high level interface to envelope
decryption. They decrypt a public key encrypted symmetric key and
then decrypt data using it.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_OpenInit()\fR initializes a cipher context \fBctx\fR for decryption
with cipher \fBtype\fR. It decrypts the encrypted symmetric key of length
\&\fBekl\fR bytes passed in the \fBek\fR parameter using the private key \fBpriv\fR.
The IV is supplied in the \fBiv\fR parameter.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_OpenUpdate()\fR and \fBEVP_OpenFinal()\fR have exactly the same properties
as the \fBEVP_DecryptUpdate()\fR and \fBEVP_DecryptFinal()\fR routines, as 
documented on the \fBEVP_EncryptInit\fR\|(3) manual
page.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
It is possible to call \fBEVP_OpenInit()\fR twice in the same way as
\&\fBEVP_DecryptInit()\fR. The first call should have \fBpriv\fR set to NULL
and (after setting any cipher parameters) it should be called again
with \fBtype\fR set to NULL.
.PP
If the cipher passed in the \fBtype\fR parameter is a variable length
cipher then the key length will be set to the value of the recovered
key length. If the cipher is a fixed length cipher then the recovered
key length must match the fixed cipher length.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBEVP_OpenInit()\fR returns 0 on error or a non zero integer (actually the
recovered secret key size) if successful.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_OpenUpdate()\fR returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_OpenFinal()\fR returns 0 if the decrypt failed or 1 for success.
