Assuming you mean you're 'overriding' by writing and registering a custom ENGINE with OpenSSL, it's the NID_des_ede3_*, etc. object ids which you're looking for: the ones you wish to provide for should be registered as ciphers in your engine (ENGINE_set_ciphers() IIRC).
Basically, 3des can be found in the des_...3_* methods. Inspect GOST engine source code to get a few ideas about how to approach this, if you haven't done so already. The strings are just for the added human touch. Computer likes numbers better. ;-) Ger On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 4:51 AM, Nanavati, Sitanshu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > > > I am trying to override the DES/3DES in OpenSSL.
