| 146 | \&\fISSL_CIPHER_get_name()\fR returns a pointer to the name of \fBcipher\fR. If the |
| 147 | argument is the \s-1NULL\s0 pointer, a pointer to the constant value \*(L"\s-1NONE\s0\*(R" is |
| 148 | returned. |
| 149 | .PP |
| 150 | \&\fISSL_CIPHER_get_bits()\fR returns the number of secret bits used for \fBcipher\fR. If |
| 151 | \&\fBalg_bits\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0, it contains the number of bits processed by the |
| 152 | chosen algorithm. If \fBcipher\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, 0 is returned. |
| 153 | .PP |
| 154 | \&\fISSL_CIPHER_get_version()\fR returns the protocol version for \fBcipher\fR, currently |
| 155 | \&\*(L"SSLv2\*(R", \*(L"SSLv3\*(R", or \*(L"TLSv1\*(R". If \fBcipher\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, \*(L"(\s-1NONE\s0)\*(R" is returned. |
| 156 | .PP |
| 157 | \&\fISSL_CIPHER_description()\fR returns a textual description of the cipher used |
| 158 | into the buffer \fBbuf\fR of length \fBlen\fR provided. \fBlen\fR must be at least |
| 159 | 128 bytes, otherwise a pointer to the string \*(L"Buffer too small\*(R" is |
| 160 | returned. If \fBbuf\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, a buffer of 128 bytes is allocated using |
| 161 | \&\fIOPENSSL_malloc()\fR. If the allocation fails, a pointer to the string |
| 162 | \&\*(L"OPENSSL_malloc Error\*(R" is returned. |
| 163 | .SH "NOTES" |
| 164 | .IX Header "NOTES" |
| 165 | The number of bits processed can be different from the secret bits. An |
| 166 | export cipher like e.g. \s-1EXP\-RC4\-MD5\s0 has only 40 secret bits. The algorithm |
| 167 | does use the full 128 bits (which would be returned for \fBalg_bits\fR), of |
| 168 | which however 88bits are fixed. The search space is hence only 40 bits. |
