Shanil, I am new to the inner workings of the OpenSSL library. I am copying this message to the OpenSSL-Users group.
Yes it is possible to encrypt binary images and any content of 8-bit byte streams with the library. With custom padding, it is also possible to encrypt and decrypt arbitrary strings of bits, not necessarily divisible by 8. The CTR encryption mode can be used to convert a block cipher into a stream cipher. The OpenSSL library does have cryptography algorithms that can do the encryption and decryption. Hopefully some other user can get you the URL links you desire. You might also check out the Wikipedia "Block_cipher" page and the "Block_cipher_modes_of_operation" page. Sincerely, Steven J.
