The GCM-SIV mode ciphers were added in OpenSSL version 3.2.

EVP_CIPHER-AES - The AES EVP_CIPHER implementations

The AES-SIV and AES-WRAP mode implementations do not support streaming. That means to obtain correct results there can be only one EVP_EncryptUpdate(3) or EVP_DecryptUpdate(3) call after the initialization of the context. The AES-XTS implementations allow streaming to be performed, but each EVP_EncryptUpdate(3) or EVP_DecryptUpdate(3) call requires each input to be a multiple of the blocksize. Only the final EVP_EncryptUpdate() or EVP_DecryptUpdate() call can optionally have an input that is not a multiple of the blocksize but is larger than one block. In that case ciphertext stealing (CTS) is used to fill the block.
