What does OpenSSL's EVP mean? I know it is a higher level crypto interface library in OpenSSL, but what do the letters E-V-P stand for?

Thanks, Chenz

Interesting question. I don't know for sure, but the #ifndef at the top of evp.h is:

#ifndef HEADER_ENVELOPE_H

So, I'm guessing Envelope.

Better guess than I could come up with. – Crazy ChenzJun 16 '10 at 17:11

That's right - the EVP_* functions are "envelope encryption". – cafJun 21 '10 at 14:48
