DESCRIPTION
       This library contains a fast implementation of the DES encryption
       algorithm.

       There are two phases to the use of DES encryption.  The first is	the
       generation of a DES_key_schedule	from a key, the	second is the actual
       encryption.  A DES key is of type DES_cblock. This type consists	of 8
       bytes with odd parity.  The least significant bit in each byte is the
       parity bit.  The	key schedule is	an expanded form of the	key; it	is
       used to speed the encryption process.

       DES_random_key()	generates a random key.	 The random generator must be
       seeded when calling this	function.  If the automatic seeding or
       reseeding of the	OpenSSL	CSPRNG fails due to external circumstances
       (see RAND(7)), the operation will fail.	If the function	fails, 0 is
       returned.

       Before a	DES key	can be used, it	must be	converted into the
       architecture dependent DES_key_schedule via the DES_set_key_checked()
       or DES_set_key_unchecked() function.

       DES_set_key_checked() will check	that the key passed is of odd parity
       and is not a weak or semi-weak key.  If the parity is wrong, then -1 is
       returned.  If the key is	a weak key, then -2 is returned.  If an	error
       is returned, the	key schedule is	not generated.

       DES_set_key() works like	DES_set_key_checked() if the DES_check_key
       flag is nonzero,	otherwise like DES_set_key_unchecked().	 These
       functions are available for compatibility; it is	recommended to use a
       function	that does not depend on	a global variable.

       DES_set_odd_parity() sets the parity of the passed key to odd.

       DES_is_weak_key() returns 1 if the passed key is	a weak key, 0 if it is
       ok.

       The following routines mostly operate on	an input and output stream of
       DES_cblocks.

       DES_ecb_encrypt() is the	basic DES encryption routine that encrypts or
       decrypts	a single 8-byte	DES_cblock in electronic code book (ECB) mode.
       It always transforms the	input data, pointed to by input, into the
       output data, pointed to by the output argument.	If the encrypt
       argument	is nonzero (DES_ENCRYPT), the input (cleartext)	is encrypted
       in to the output	(ciphertext) using the key_schedule specified by the
       schedule	argument, previously set via DES_set_key. If encrypt is	zero
       (DES_DECRYPT), the input	(now ciphertext) is decrypted into the output
       (now cleartext).	 Input and output may overlap.	DES_ecb_encrypt() does
       not return a value.

       DES_ecb3_encrypt() encrypts/decrypts the	input block by using three-key
       Triple-DES encryption in	ECB mode.  This	involves encrypting the	input
       with ks1, decrypting with the key schedule ks2, and then	encrypting
       with ks3.  This routine greatly reduces the chances of brute force
       breaking	of DES and has the advantage of	if ks1,	ks2 and	ks3 are	the
       same, it	is equivalent to just encryption using ECB mode	and ks1	as the
       key.

       The macro DES_ecb2_encrypt() is provided	to perform two-key Triple-DES
       encryption by using ks1 for the final encryption.

       DES_ncbc_encrypt() encrypts/decrypts using the cipher-block-chaining
       (CBC) mode of DES.  If the encrypt argument is nonzero, the routine
       cipher-block-chain encrypts the cleartext data pointed to by the	input
       argument	into the ciphertext pointed to by the output argument, using
       the key schedule	provided by the	schedule argument, and initialization
       vector provided by the ivec argument.  If the length argument is	not an
       integral	multiple of eight bytes, the last block	is copied to a
       temporary area and zero filled.	The output is always an	integral
       multiple	of eight bytes.

       DES_xcbc_encrypt() is RSA's DESX	mode of	DES.  It uses inw and outw to
       'whiten'	the encryption.	 inw and outw are secret (unlike the iv) and
       are as such, part of the	key.  So the key is sort of 24 bytes.  This is
       much better than	CBC DES.

       DES_ede3_cbc_encrypt() implements outer triple CBC DES encryption with
       three keys. This	means that each	DES operation inside the CBC mode is
       "C=E(ks3,D(ks2,E(ks1,M)))".  This mode is used by SSL.

       The DES_ede2_cbc_encrypt() macro	implements two-key Triple-DES by
       reusing ks1 for the final encryption.  "C=E(ks1,D(ks2,E(ks1,M)))".
       This form of Triple-DES is used by the RSAREF library.

       DES_pcbc_encrypt() encrypts/decrypts using the propagating cipher block
       chaining	mode used by Kerberos v4. Its parameters are the same as
       DES_ncbc_encrypt().

       DES_cfb_encrypt() encrypts/decrypts using cipher	feedback mode.	This
       method takes an array of	characters as input and	outputs	an array of
       characters.  It does not	require	any padding to 8 character groups.
       Note: the ivec variable is changed and the new changed value needs to
       be passed to the	next call to this function.  Since this	function runs
       a complete DES ECB encryption per numbits, this function	is only
       suggested for use when sending a	small number of	characters.

       DES_cfb64_encrypt() implements CFB mode of DES with 64-bit feedback.
       Why is this useful you ask?  Because this routine will allow you	to
       encrypt an arbitrary number of bytes, without 8 byte padding.  Each
       call to this routine will encrypt the input bytes to output and then
       update ivec and num.  num contains 'how far' we are though ivec.	 If
       this does not make much sense, read more	about CFB mode of DES.

       DES_ede3_cfb64_encrypt()	and DES_ede2_cfb64_encrypt() is	the same as
       DES_cfb64_encrypt() except that Triple-DES is used.

       DES_ofb_encrypt() encrypts using	output feedback	mode.  This method
       takes an	array of characters as input and outputs an array of
       characters.  It does not	require	any padding to 8 character groups.
       Note: the ivec variable is changed and the new changed value needs to
       be passed to the	next call to this function.  Since this	function runs
       a complete DES ECB encryption per numbits, this function	is only
       suggested for use when sending a	small number of	characters.

       DES_ofb64_encrypt() is the same as DES_cfb64_encrypt() using Output
       Feed Back mode.

       DES_ede3_ofb64_encrypt()	and DES_ede2_ofb64_encrypt() is	the same as
       DES_ofb64_encrypt(), using Triple-DES.

       The following functions are included in the DES library for
       compatibility with the MIT Kerberos library.

       DES_cbc_cksum() produces	an 8 byte checksum based on the	input stream
       (via CBC	encryption).  The last 4 bytes of the checksum are returned
       and the complete	8 bytes	are placed in output. This function is used by
       Kerberos	v4.  Other applications	should use EVP_DigestInit(3) etc.
       instead.

       DES_quad_cksum()	is a Kerberos v4 function.  It returns a 4 byte
       checksum	from the input bytes.  The algorithm can be iterated over the
       input, depending	on out_count, 1, 2, 3 or 4 times.  If output is	non-
       NULL, the 8 bytes generated by each pass	are written into output.

       The following are DES-based transformations:

       DES_fcrypt() is a fast version of the Unix crypt(3) function.  This
       version takes only a small amount of space relative to other fast
       crypt() implementations.	 This is different to the normal crypt() in
       that the	third parameter	is the buffer that the return value is written
       into.  It needs to be at	least 14 bytes long.  This function is thread
       safe, unlike the	normal crypt().

       DES_crypt() is a	faster replacement for the normal system crypt().
       This function calls DES_fcrypt()	with a static array passed as the
       third parameter.	 This mostly emulates the normal non-thread-safe
       semantics of crypt(3).  The salt	must be	two ASCII characters.

       The values returned by DES_fcrypt() and DES_crypt() are terminated by
       NUL character.

       DES_enc_write() writes len bytes	to file	descriptor fd from buffer buf.
       The data	is encrypted via pcbc_encrypt (default)	using sched for	the
       key and iv as a starting	vector.	 The actual data send down fd consists
       of 4 bytes (in network byte order) containing the length	of the
       following encrypted data.  The encrypted	data then follows, padded with
       random data out to a multiple of	8 bytes.

BUGS
       DES_cbc_encrypt() does not modify ivec; use DES_ncbc_encrypt() instead.

       DES_cfb_encrypt() and DES_ofb_encrypt() operates	on input of 8 bits.
       What this means is that if you set numbits to 12, and length to 2, the
       first 12	bits will come from the	1st input byte and the low half	of the
       second input byte.  The second 12 bits will have	the low	8 bits taken
       from the	3rd input byte and the top 4 bits taken	from the 4th input
       byte.  The same holds for output.  This function	has been implemented
       this way	because	most people will be using a multiple of	8 and because
       once you	get into pulling bytes input bytes apart things	get ugly!

       DES_string_to_key() is available	for backward compatibility with	the
       MIT library.  New applications should use a cryptographic hash
       function.  The same applies for DES_string_to_2key().

NOTES
       The des library was written to be source	code compatible	with the MIT
       Kerberos	library.

       Applications should use the higher level	functions EVP_EncryptInit(3)
       etc. instead of calling these functions directly.

       Single-key DES is insecure due to its short key size.  ECB mode is not
       suitable	for most applications; see des_modes(7).

RETURN VALUES
       DES_set_key(), DES_key_sched(), DES_set_key_checked() and
       DES_is_weak_key() return	0 on success or	negative values	on error.

       DES_cbc_cksum() and DES_quad_cksum() return 4-byte integer representing
       the last	4 bytes	of the checksum	of the input.

       DES_fcrypt() returns a pointer to the caller-provided buffer and
       DES_crypt() - to	a static buffer	on success; otherwise they return
       NULL.

HISTORY
       The requirement that the	salt parameter to DES_crypt() and DES_fcrypt()
       be two ASCII characters was first enforced in OpenSSL 1.1.0.  Previous
       versions	tried to use the letter	uppercase A if both character were not
       present,	and could crash	when given non-ASCII on	some platforms.
