.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
All symmetric ciphers (CIPHERs) go through a number of stages in their
life-cycle:
.IP "start" 4
.IX Item "start"
This state represents the \s-1CIPHER\s0 before it has been allocated. It is the
starting state for any life-cycle transitions.
.IP "newed" 4
.IX Item "newed"
This state represents the \s-1CIPHER\s0 after it has been allocated.
.IP "initialised" 4
.IX Item "initialised"
These states represent the \s-1CIPHER\s0 when it is set up and capable of processing
input. There are three possible initialised states:
.RS 4
.IP "initialised using EVP_CipherInit" 4
.IX Item "initialised using EVP_CipherInit"
.PD 0
.IP "initialised for decryption using EVP_DecryptInit" 4
.IX Item "initialised for decryption using EVP_DecryptInit"
.IP "initialised for encryption using EVP_EncryptInit" 4
.IX Item "initialised for encryption using EVP_EncryptInit"
.RE
.RS 4
.RE
.IP "updated" 4
.IX Item "updated"
.PD
These states represent the \s-1CIPHER\s0 when it is set up and capable of processing
additional input or generating output. The three possible states directly
correspond to those for initialised above. The three different streams should
not be mixed.
.IP "finaled" 4
.IX Item "finaled"
This state represents the \s-1CIPHER\s0 when it has generated output.
.IP "freed" 4
.IX Item "freed"
This state is entered when the \s-1CIPHER\s0 is freed. It is the terminal state
for all life-cycle transitions.
