\&\fISSL_CIPHER_get_name()\fR returns a pointer to the name of \fBcipher\fR. If the
argument is the \s-1NULL\s0 pointer, a pointer to the constant value \*(L"\s-1NONE\s0\*(R" is
returned.
.PP
\&\fISSL_CIPHER_get_bits()\fR returns the number of secret bits used for \fBcipher\fR. If
\&\fBalg_bits\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0, it contains the number of bits processed by the
chosen algorithm. If \fBcipher\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, 0 is returned.
.PP
\&\fISSL_CIPHER_get_version()\fR returns string which indicates the \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 protocol
version that first defined the cipher.
This is currently \fBSSLv2\fR or \fBTLSv1/SSLv3\fR.
In some cases it should possibly return \*(L"TLSv1.2\*(R" but does not;
use \fISSL_CIPHER_description()\fR instead.
If \fBcipher\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, \*(L"(\s-1NONE\s0)\*(R" is returned.
.PP
\&\fISSL_CIPHER_description()\fR returns a textual description of the cipher used
into the buffer \fBbuf\fR of length \fBlen\fR provided. \fBlen\fR must be at least
128 bytes, otherwise a pointer to the string \*(L"Buffer too small\*(R" is
returned. If \fBbuf\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, a buffer of 128 bytes is allocated using
\&\fIOPENSSL_malloc()\fR. If the allocation fails, a pointer to the string
\&\*(L"OPENSSL_malloc Error\*(R" is returned.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The number of bits processed can be different from the secret bits. An
export cipher like e.g. \s-1EXP\-RC4\-MD5\s0 has only 40 secret bits. The algorithm
does use the full 128 bits (which would be returned for \fBalg_bits\fR), of
which however 88bits are fixed. The search space is hence only 40 bits.
.PP
The string returned by \fISSL_CIPHER_description()\fR in case of success consists
of cleartext information separated by one or more blanks in the following
sequence:
.IP "<ciphername>" 4
.IX Item "<ciphername>"
Textual representation of the cipher name.
.IP "<protocol version>" 4
.IX Item "<protocol version>"
Protocol version: \fBSSLv2\fR, \fBSSLv3\fR, \fBTLSv1.2\fR. The TLSv1.0 ciphers are
flagged with SSLv3. No new ciphers were added by TLSv1.1.
.IP "Kx=<key exchange>" 4
.IX Item "Kx=<key exchange>"
Key exchange method: \fB\s-1RSA\s0\fR (for export ciphers as \fB\s-1RSA\s0(512)\fR or
\&\fB\s-1RSA\s0(1024)\fR), \fB\s-1DH\s0\fR (for export ciphers as \fB\s-1DH\s0(512)\fR or \fB\s-1DH\s0(1024)\fR),
\&\fB\s-1DH/RSA\s0\fR, \fB\s-1DH/DSS\s0\fR, \fBFortezza\fR.
.IP "Au=<authentication>" 4
.IX Item "Au=<authentication>"
Authentication method: \fB\s-1RSA\s0\fR, \fB\s-1DSS\s0\fR, \fB\s-1DH\s0\fR, \fBNone\fR. None is the
representation of anonymous ciphers.
.IP "Enc=<symmetric encryption method>" 4
.IX Item "Enc=<symmetric encryption method>"
Encryption method with number of secret bits: \fB\s-1DES\s0(40)\fR, \fB\s-1DES\s0(56)\fR,
\&\fB3DES(168)\fR, \fB\s-1RC4\s0(40)\fR, \fB\s-1RC4\s0(56)\fR, \fB\s-1RC4\s0(64)\fR, \fB\s-1RC4\s0(128)\fR,

.IP "Mac=<message authentication code>" 4
.IX Item "Mac=<message authentication code>"
Message digest: \fB\s-1MD5\s0\fR, \fB\s-1SHA1\s0\fR.
.IP "<export flag>" 4
.IX Item "<export flag>"
If the cipher is flagged exportable with respect to old \s-1US\s0 crypto
regulations, the word "\fBexport\fR" is printed.

.SH "BUGS"

If \fISSL_CIPHER_description()\fR is called with \fBcipher\fR being \s-1NULL\s0, the
library crashes.
.PP
If \fISSL_CIPHER_description()\fR cannot handle a built-in cipher, the according
description of the cipher property is \fBunknown\fR. This case should not
occur.
