Does anyone have a Delphi / Pascal example for calling the below OpenSSL functions...

http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/packages/openssl/src/openssl.pas?revision=17634&view=markup

I am specifically interested in:

procedure EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init(a: PEVP_CIPHER_CTX);

function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup(a: PEVP_CIPHER_CTX): cint;

function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length(x: PEVP_CIPHER_CTX; keylen: cint): cint;

function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx: PEVP_CIPHER_CTX; type_, arg: cint; ptr: Pointer): cint;
//
function EVP_EncryptInit(ctx: PEVP_CIPHER_CTX; const chipher_: PEVP_CIPHER;const key, iv: PByte): cint;

function EVP_EncryptUpdate(ctx: PEVP_CIPHER_CTX; out_: pcuchar;outlen: pcint; const in_: pcuchar; inlen: cint): cint;

function EVP_EncryptFinal(ctx: PEVP_CIPHER_CTX; out_data: PByte; outlen: pcint): cint;

function EVP_DecryptInit(ctx: PEVP_CIPHER_CTX; chiphir_type: PEVP_CIPHER;const key, iv: PByte): cint;

function EVP_DecryptUpdate(ctx: PEVP_CIPHER_CTX; out_data: PByte;outl: pcint; const in_: PByte; inl: cint): cint;

function EVP_DecryptFinal(ctx: PEVP_CIPHER_CTX; outm: PByte; outlen: pcint): cint;

Thank you!

p.s. I have seen http://www.disi.unige.it/person/FerranteM/delphiopenssl/

Unfortunately that library does not include those functions.

Here are a couple of routines taken straight out of some code I once worked on. They use most of the encryption methods you mention. As mentioned in the comments you really need to get intimate with the OpenSSL docs. I created the stuff below by reading them and going through the C source for the openssl.exe program. (Downloaded from openssl.org).

It's not perfect and makes a couple of assumptions but it does show the basics of using the routines in Delphi.

The original inspiration, as I have mentioned several times before on SO(!), was taken from the stuff at http://www.disi.unige.it/person/FerranteM/delphiopenssl/ that you've already linked to above.

EDIT: Added an import unit at the bottom to supplement what was in the Indy headers when I created these methods. I haven't looked recently so some of this may already be available in Indy.

function EVP_Encrypt_AES256(Value: TBytes; APassword: TBytes): TBytes;
var
  cipher: PEVP_CIPHER;
  ctx: EVP_CIPHER_CTX;
  salt, key, iv, buf: TBytes;
  block_size: integer;
  buf_start, out_len: integer;
begin
  cipher := EVP_aes_256_cbc;
  salt := EVP_GetSalt;
  EVP_GetKeyIV(APassword, cipher, salt, key, iv);

  EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init(@ctx);
  try
    EVP_EncryptInit(@ctx, cipher, @key[0], @iv[0]);
    block_size := EVP_CIPHER_CTX_block_size(@ctx);
    SetLength(buf, Length(Value) + block_size + SALT_MAGIC_LEN + PKCS5_SALT_LEN);
    buf_start := 0;
    Move(PAnsiChar(SALT_MAGIC)^, buf[buf_start], SALT_MAGIC_LEN);
    Inc(buf_start, SALT_MAGIC_LEN);
    Move(salt[0], buf[buf_start], PKCS5_SALT_LEN);
    Inc(buf_start, PKCS5_SALT_LEN);
    EVP_EncryptUpdate(@ctx, @buf[buf_start], @out_len, @Value[0], Length(Value));
    Inc(buf_start, out_len);
    EVP_EncryptFinal(@ctx, @buf[buf_start], @out_len);
    Inc(buf_start, out_len);
    SetLength(buf, buf_start);
    result := buf;
  finally
    EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup(@ctx);
  end;
end;

function EVP_GetSalt: TBytes;
begin
  SetLength(result, PKCS5_SALT_LEN);
  RAND_pseudo_bytes(@result[0], PKCS5_SALT_LEN);
end;

procedure EVP_GetKeyIV(APassword: TBytes; ACipher: PEVP_CIPHER; const ASalt: TBytes; out Key, IV: TBytes);
var
  ctx: EVP_MD_CTX;
  hash: PEVP_MD;
  mdbuff: TBytes;
  mds: cardinal;
  nkey, niv: integer;
begin
  hash := EVP_sha256;
  mds := 0;
  SetLength(mdbuff, EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE);

  nkey := ACipher.key_len;
  niv := ACipher.iv_len;
  SetLength(Key, nkey);
  SetLength(IV, nkey);  // Max size to start then reduce it at the end

  Assert(hash.md_size >= nkey);
  Assert(hash.md_size >= niv);

  // This is pretty much the same way that EVP_BytesToKey works. But that
  // allows multiple passes through the hashing loop and also allows to
  // choose different hashing methods. We have no need for this. The
  // OpenSSL docs say it is out of date and internet sources suggest using
  // something like PKCS5_v2_PBE_keyivgen and/or PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1
  // but this method is easy to port to the DEC and DCP routines and easy to
  // use in other environments. Ultimately the Key and IV rely on the password
  // and the salt and can be easily reformed.

  // This method relies on the fact that the hashing method produces a key of
  // the correct size. EVP_BytesToKey goes through muptiple hashing passes if
  // necessary to make the key big enough when using smaller hashes.

  EVP_MD_CTX_init(@ctx);
  try
    // Key first
    EVP_DigestInit_ex(@ctx, hash, nil);
    EVP_DigestUpdate(@ctx, @APassword[0], Length(APassword));
    if (ASalt <> nil) then
      EVP_DigestUpdate(@ctx, @ASalt[0], Length(ASalt));
    EVP_DigestFinal_ex(@ctx, @Key[0], mds);

    // Derive IV next
    EVP_DigestInit_ex(@ctx, hash, nil);
    EVP_DigestUpdate(@ctx, @Key[0], mds);
    EVP_DigestUpdate(@ctx, @APassword[0], Length(APassword));
    if (ASalt <> nil) then
      EVP_DigestUpdate(@ctx, @ASalt[0], Length(ASalt));
    EVP_DigestFinal_ex(@ctx, @IV[0], mds);

    SetLength(IV, niv);
  finally
    EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(@ctx);
  end;
end;

Decryption:

function EVP_Decrypt_AES256(const Value: TBytes; APassword: TBytes): TBytes;
var
  cipher: PEVP_CIPHER;
  ctx: EVP_CIPHER_CTX;
  salt, key, iv, buf: TBytes;
  src_start, buf_start, out_len: integer;
begin
  cipher := EVP_aes_256_cbc;
  SetLength(salt, SALT_SIZE);
  // First read the magic text and the salt - if any
  if (AnsiString(TEncoding.ASCII.GetString(Value, 0, SALT_MAGIC_LEN)) = SALT_MAGIC) then
  begin
    Move(Value[SALT_MAGIC_LEN], salt[0], SALT_SIZE);
    EVP_GetKeyIV(APassword, cipher, salt, key, iv);
    src_start := SALT_MAGIC_LEN + SALT_SIZE;
  end
  else
  begin
    EVP_GetKeyIV(APassword, cipher, nil, key, iv);
    src_start := 0;
  end;

  EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init(@ctx);
  try
    EVP_DecryptInit(@ctx, cipher, @key[0], @iv[0]);
    SetLength(buf, Length(Value));
    buf_start := 0;
    EVP_DecryptUpdate(@ctx, @buf[buf_start], @out_len, @Value[src_start], Length(Value) - src_start);
    Inc(buf_start, out_len);
    EVP_DecryptFinal(@ctx, @buf[buf_start], @out_len);
    Inc(buf_start, out_len);
    SetLength(buf, buf_start);
    result := buf;
  finally
    EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup(@ctx);
  end;
end;

My extra import unit:

unit libeay32;

{
  Import unit for the OpenSSL libeay32.dll library.
  Originally based on the work by Marco Ferrante.
    http://www.csita.unige.it/
    http://www.disi.unige.it/
  then on the Indy libraries
  and, of course, the C source code from http://www.openssl.org

  Only the parts that we need to use have been translated/imported. There are
  a whole load of functions in the library that aren't included here

  2010-03-11 Why re-invent the wheel. Indy has done a large chunk of this
  already so use it - IdSSLOpenSSLHeaders
  Now we generally just include stuff that isn't available in the Indy code.
  Primarily encryption stuff rather than SSL stuff.
