Improved key and iv storage to use zero padded buffer to ensure no buffer overrun in OpenSSL API if string pointer is used. Added cipher default option for encrypt and decrypt. Pass data as last arg without -data option. check-in: 191f8b29bc user: bohagan tags: crypto

<h4>Cryptographic Options</h4>

<dl>
    <dt><a name="-cipher"><strong>-cipher</strong> <em>name</em></a></dt>
    <dd>Name of cryptographic cipher to use. Used by the CMAC and GMAC hash
    algorithms. For CMAC it must be one of AES-128-CBC, AES-192-CBC, AES-256-CBC
    or DES-EDE3-CBC. For GMAC it should be a GCM mode cipher e.g. AES-128-GCM.
    See <a href="#tls::ciphers"><b>tls::ciphers</b></a> for the valid values.</dd>

</dl>

<dl>
    <dt><a name="-digest"><strong>-digest</strong> <em>name</em></a></dt>
    <dd>Name of hash function (aka message digest) to use.
    See <a href="#tls::digests"><b>tls::digests</b></a> for the valid values.</dd>
</dl>

<dl>
    <dt><a name="-iterations"><strong>-iterations</strong> <em>count</em></a></dt>
    <dd>Number (integer) of iterations on the password to use in deriving the
    encryption key. Default is 10000. Some KDF implementations require an
    iteration count.</dd>
</dl>

<dl>
    <dt><a name="-iv"><strong>-iv</strong> <em>string</em></a></dt>


    <dd>Initialization vector (IV). Required for GMAC. Cipher modes CBC, CFB, OFB and CTR all need an initialization vector (IV) while ECB mode does not. A new, random IV should be created for each use. Think of the IV as a nonce (number used once), it's public but random and unpredictable.</dd>



</dl>

<dl>
    <dt><a name="-key"><strong>-key</strong> <em>string</em></a></dt>
    <dd>Encryption key to use for cryptography function. Can be a binary or
    text string. Longer keys provide
    better protection. Used by HMAC, some CMAC, and some KDF implementations.

    Some functions require key length must conform to <b>key_length</b> size.</dd>
</dl>

<dl>
    <dt><a name="-mac"><strong>-mac</strong> <em>name</em></a></dt>
    <dd>Name of Message Authentication Code (MAC) to use.
