First question:
How should AAD data be supplied to ciphers like EVP_aes_256_cbc_hmac_sha256() and EVP_rc4_hmac_md5()?
If I understand correctly, these are AEAD ciphers (the EVP_CIPH_FLAG_AEAD_CIPHER flag is set), so it should be possible to provide AAD data?
The following seems to work for AEAD ciphers generally but crashes with the ciphers I just mentioned:
EVP_EncryptUpdate(ctx, NULL, &len, aad, aad_len))
I call this after key and IV setting and before ciphertext input, in fact exactly like described here for GCM AEAD ciphers: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/EVP_Authenticated_Encryption_and_Decryption#Authenticated_Encryption_using_GCM_mode
Am I doing something wrong?
Second question:
The comments around AES_decrypt() and AES_encrypt() in crypto/aes/aes_core.c state: "in and out can overlap".
Does this only apply to the pure C version of AES, or to any or all assembly implementations as well?
Thanks
Guido
