+=head1 NAME
+
+EVP_CIPHER-NULL - The NULL EVP_CIPHER implementation
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Support for a NULL symmetric encryption using the B<EVP_CIPHER> API.
+This is used when the TLS cipher suite is TLS_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL.
+This does no encryption (just copies the data) and has a mac size of zero.
+
+=head2 Algorithm Name
+
+The following algorithm is available in the default provider:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item "NULL"
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Parameters
+
+This implementation supports the following parameters:
+
+=head3 Gettable EVP_CIPHER parameters
+
+See L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)/Gettable EVP_CIPHER parameters>
+
+=head3 Gettable EVP_CIPHER_CTX parameters
+

+
+=item "tls-mac" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS_MAC>) <octet ptr>
+

+
+See L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)/PARAMETERS> for further information.

+=head1 NAME
+
+EVP_MD-NULL - The NULL EVP_MD implementation

+
+Support for a NULL digest through the B<EVP_MD> API.
+This algorithm does nothing and returns 1 for its init,
+update and final methods.
