# NAME

EVP_cast5_cbc, EVP_cast5_cfb, EVP_cast5_cfb64, EVP_cast5_ecb, EVP_cast5_ofb - EVP CAST cipher

# LIBRARY

libcrypto, -lcrypto

# SYNOPSIS

     #include <openssl/evp.h>

     const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_cast5_cbc(void);
     const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_cast5_cfb(void);
     const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_cast5_cfb64(void);
     const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_cast5_ecb(void);
     const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_cast5_ofb(void);

# DESCRIPTION

The CAST encryption algorithm for EVP.

This is a variable key length cipher.

EVP_cast5_cbc(), EVP_cast5_ecb(), EVP_cast5_cfb(), EVP_cast5_cfb64(), EVP_cast5_ofb()
  CAST encryption algorithm in CBC, ECB, CFB and OFB modes respectively.

# NOTES

Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of calling these functions multiple times and should consider using EVP_CIPHER_fetch(3) with EVP_CIPHER-CAST(7) instead. See "Performance" in crypto(7) for further information.

# RETURN VALUES

These functions return an EVP_CIPHER structure that contains the implementation of the symmetric cipher. See EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for details of the EVP_CIPHER structure.
