=head1 NAME

EVP_OpenInit, EVP_OpenUpdate, EVP_OpenFinal - EVP envelope decryption

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 int EVP_OpenInit(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx,EVP_CIPHER *type,unsigned char *ek,
		int ekl,unsigned char *iv,EVP_PKEY *priv);
 void EVP_OpenUpdate(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out,
         int *outl, unsigned char *in, int inl);
 void EVP_OpenFinal(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out,
         int *outl);

=head1 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.

EVP_OpenInit() initialises a cipher context B<ctx> for decryption
with cipher B<type>. It decrypts the encrypted symmetric key of length
B<ekl> bytes passed in the B<ek> parameter using the private key B<priv>.
The IV is supplied in the B<iv> parameter.

EVP_OpenUpdate() and EVP_OpenFinal() have exactly the same properties
as the EVP_DecryptUpdate() and EVP_DecryptFinal() routines, as 
documented on the L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)|EVP_EncryptInit(3)> manual
page. 

=head1 RETURN VALUES

EVP_OpenInit() returns -1 on error or an non zero integer (actually the
recovered secret key size) if successful.

EVP_SealUpdate() does not return a value.

EVP_SealFinal() returns 0 if the decrypt failed or 1 for success.
