Where possible the B<EVP> interface to symmetric ciphers should be used in

preference to the low level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes

transparent to the cipher used and much more flexible.

B<EVP> interface will ensure the use of platform specific cryptographic

acceleration such as AES-NI (the low level interfaces do not provide the

PKCS padding works by adding B<n> padding bytes of value B<n> to make the total 
350 353
length of the encrypted data a multiple of the block size. Padding is always
