The BI<...> functions provide message digests. + +Algorithms are loaded with OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(3). + +All the symmetric algorithms (ciphers) and digests can be replaced by ENGINE +modules providing alternative implementations. If ENGINE implementations of +ciphers or digests are registered as defaults, then the various EVP functions +will automatically use those implementations automatically in preference to +built in software implementations. For more information, consult the engine(3) +man page. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L + +=cut -- cgit v1.2.3
