26=head1 DESCRIPTION
27
28The RC2 encryption algorithm for EVP.
29
30=over 4
31
32=item EVP_rc2_cbc(),
33EVP_rc2_cfb(),
34EVP_rc2_cfb64(),
35EVP_rc2_ecb(),
36EVP_rc2_ofb()
37
38RC2 encryption algorithm in CBC, CFB, ECB and OFB modes respectively. This is a
39variable key length cipher with an additional parameter called "effective key
40bits" or "effective key length". By default both are set to 128 bits.
41
42=item EVP_rc2_40_cbc(),
43EVP_rc2_64_cbc()
44
45RC2 algorithm in CBC mode with a default key length and effective key length of
4640 and 64 bits.
47
48WARNING: these functions are obsolete. Their usage should be replaced with the
49EVP_rc2_cbc(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl()
50functions to set the key length and effective key length.

54=head1 NOTES
55
56Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
57calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
58L<EVP_CIPHER_fetch(3)> instead.
59See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information.
60
61=head1 RETURN VALUES
62
63These functions return an B<EVP_CIPHER> structure that contains the
64implementation of the symmetric cipher. See L<EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3)> for
65details of the B<EVP_CIPHER> structure.
