OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(3ssl)

OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms3ssl

Add algorithms to internal table

Usage

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 1.1.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):

 void OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(void);
 void OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers(void);
 void OpenSSL_add_all_digests(void);
 void EVP_cleanup(void);

Overview

OpenSSL keeps an internal table of digest algorithms and ciphers. It uses this table to lookup ciphers via functions such as EVP_get_cipher_byname().

OpenSSL_add_all_digests() adds all digest algorithms to the table.

OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() adds all algorithms to the table (digests and ciphers).

OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() adds all encryption algorithms to the table including password based encryption algorithms.

In versions prior to 1.1.0 EVP_cleanup() removed all ciphers and digests from the table. It no longer has any effect in OpenSSL 1.1.0.

Return values

None of the functions return a value.

History

The OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(), OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers(), OpenSSL_add_all_digests(), and EVP_cleanup(), functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0 by OPENSSL_init_crypto() and should not be used.
