EVP_EncryptInit(), EVP_DecryptInit() and EVP_CipherInit() behave in a
-similar way to EVP_EncryptInit_ex(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex and
+similar way to EVP_EncryptInit_ex(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex() and
EVP_CipherInit_ex() except the B<ctx> parameter does not need to be
initialized and they always use the default cipher implementation.
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.

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