Without any of the error checking code in place, this is what I'm testing:
/* START CODE BLOCK */
const EVP_CIPHER *cipher = EVP_aes_256_ctr();
const EVP_MD *digest = EVP_sha256();
BIO *enc = BIO_new(BIO_f_cipher());
BIO *in = BIO_new(BIO_s_file());
EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx = NULL;
char *path = "/path/to/file.wav", *key = "fake secret key", *iv = "fake iv";
BIO_get_cipher_ctx(enc, &context->ctx);
if (BIO_read_filename(in, path) <= 0 ) {
assert(0);
}
BIO_push(enc, in);
BIO_set_cipher(enc, cipher, key, iv, 0);
BIO_seek(enc, 2056);
BIO_read(enc, buffer, 128);
/* END CODE BLOCK */
What I'm finding is that using fread() of the unencrypted file and
comparing that to the BIO_seek() then BIO_read(), the data is not
properly decrypted. Comparing fread() of the unencrypted file, to just
doing BIO_read()'s does decrypt the file correctly.
