-Get the number of rounds used in RC5:
-
- int nrounds;
- EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_GET_RC5_ROUNDS, 0, &nrounds);
-
-Get the RC2 effective key length:
-
- int key_bits;
- EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_GET_RC2_KEY_BITS, 0, &key_bits);
-
-Set the number of rounds used in RC5:
-
- int nrounds;
- EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_SET_RC5_ROUNDS, nrounds, NULL);
-
-Set the effective key length used in RC2:
-
- int key_bits;
- EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_SET_RC2_KEY_BITS, key_bits, NULL);
