This explanation from doc/ssleat.txt should give you enough of an
answer:
EVP The Digital EnVeloPe library is quite large. At it's core are
function to perform encryption and decryption by parts while using
an initial parameter to specify which of the 17 different ciphers
or 4 different message digests to use. On top of these are implmented
the digital signature functions, sign, verify, seal and open.
Base64 encoding of binary data is also done in this library.
Cheers,
Richard
