What's this?

cipher(p1) public

This returns an OpenSSL::Cipher by name, if it is available in this engine.

A EngineError will be raised if the cipher is unavailable.

e = OpenSSL::Engine.by_id("openssl")
 => #<OpenSSL::Engine id="openssl" name="Software engine support">
e.cipher("RC4")
 => #<OpenSSL::Cipher:0x007fc5cacc3048>
