=head1 NAME

EVP_CIPHER-NULL - The NULL EVP_CIPHER implementation

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Support for a NULL symmetric encryption using the B<EVP_CIPHER> API.
This is used when the TLS cipher suite is TLS_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL.
This does no encryption (just copies the data) and has a mac size of zero.

=head2 Algorithm Name

The following algorithm is available in the default provider:

=over 4

=item "NULL"

=back

=head2 Parameters

This implementation supports the following parameters:

=head3 Gettable EVP_CIPHER parameters

See L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)/Gettable EVP_CIPHER parameters>

=head3 Gettable EVP_CIPHER_CTX parameters

=over 4

=item "keylen" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_KEYLEN>) <unsigned integer>

=item "ivlen" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_IVLEN> and <B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_AEAD_IVLEN>) <unsigned integer>

=item "tls-mac" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS_MAC>) <octet ptr>

=back

See L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)/PARAMETERS> for further information.

=head3 Settable EVP_CIPHER_CTX parameters

=over 4

=item "tls-mac-size" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS_MAC_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>

=back

See L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)/PARAMETERS> for further information.

=head1 CONFORMING TO

RFC 5246 section-6.2.3.1
