     The EVP library provides a high-level interface to
     cryptographic functions.

     EEEEVVVVPPPP_SSSSeeeeaaaallll... and EEEEVVVVPPPP_OOOOppppeeeennnn... provide public key encryption
     and decryption to implement digital "envelopes".

     The EEEEVVVVPPPP_SSSSiiiiggggnnnn... and EEEEVVVVPPPP_VVVVeeeerrrriiiiffffyyyy... functions implement
     digital signatures.

     Symmetric encryption is available with the EEEEVVVVPPPP_EEEEnnnnccccrrrryyyypppptttt...
     functions.  The EEEEVVVVPPPP_DDDDiiiiggggeeeesssstttt... 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.
