EVP_PBE_find, EVP_PBE_find_ex - Password based encryption routines

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 int EVP_PBE_CipherInit(ASN1_OBJECT *pbe_obj, const char *pass, int passlen,
                        ASN1_TYPE *param, EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, int en_de);
 int EVP_PBE_CipherInit_ex(ASN1_OBJECT *pbe_obj, const char *pass, int passlen,
                           ASN1_TYPE *param, EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, int en_de,
                           OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);

 int EVP_PBE_find(int type, int pbe_nid, int *pcnid, int *pmnid,
                  EVP_PBE_KEYGEN **pkeygen);
 int EVP_PBE_find_ex(int type, int pbe_nid, int *pcnid, int *pmnid,
                     EVP_PBE_KEYGEN **pkeygen, EVP_PBE_KEYGEN_EX **keygen_ex);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=head2 PBE operations

EVP_PBE_CipherInit() and EVP_PBE_CipherInit_ex() initialise an B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX>
I<ctx> for encryption (I<en_de>=1) or decryption (I<en_de>=0) using the password
I<pass> of length I<passlen>. The PBE algorithm type and parameters are extracted
from an OID I<pbe_obj> and parameters I<param>.

EVP_PBE_CipherInit_ex() also allows the application to specify a library context
I<libctx> and property query I<propq> to select appropriate algorithm
implementations.

=head2 PBE algorithm search

EVP_PBE_find() and EVP_PBE_find_ex() search for a matching algorithm using two parameters:

1. An algorithm type I<type> which can be:

=over 4

=item *

EVP_PBE_TYPE_OUTER - A PBE algorithm

=item *

EVP_PBE_TYPE_PRF - A pseudo-random function

=item *

EVP_PBE_TYPE_KDF - A key derivation function

=back

2. A I<pbe_nid> which can represent the algorithm identifier with parameters e.g.
B<NID_pbeWithSHA1AndRC2_CBC> or an algorithm class e.g. B<NID_pbes2>.

They return the algorithm's cipher ID I<pcnid>, digest ID I<pmnid> and a key
generation function for the algorithm I<pkeygen>. EVP_PBE_CipherInit_ex() also
returns an extended key generation function I<keygen_ex> which takes a library
context and property query.

If a NULL is supplied for any of I<pcnid>, I<pmnid>, I<pkeygen> or I<pkeygen_ex>
then this parameter is not returned.

=head1 NOTES

The arguments I<pbe_obj> and I<param> to EVP_PBE_CipherInit() and EVP_PBE_CipherInit_ex()
together form an B<X509_ALGOR> and can often be extracted directly from this structure.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

Return value is 1 for success and 0 if an error occurred.
