|
|
|
<p>The EVP_PKEY_CTX_new() function allocates public key algorithm context using the <i>pkey</i> key type and ENGINE <i>e</i>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id() function allocates public key algorithm context using the key type specified by <i>id</i> and ENGINE <i>e</i>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name() function allocates a public key algorithm context using the library context <i>libctx</i> (see <a href="../man3/OSSL_LIB_CTX.html">OSSL_LIB_CTX(3)</a>), the key type specified by <i>name</i> and the property query <i>propquery</i>. None of the arguments are duplicated, so they must remain unchanged for the lifetime of the returned <b>EVP_PKEY_CTX</b> or of any of its duplicates. Read further about the possible names in <a href="#NOTES">"NOTES"</a> below.</p>

<p>The EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey() function allocates a public key algorithm context using the library context <i>libctx</i> (see <a href="../man3/OSSL_LIB_CTX.html">OSSL_LIB_CTX(3)</a>) and the algorithm specified by <i>pkey</i> and the property query <i>propquery</i>. None of the arguments are duplicated, so they must remain unchanged for the lifetime of the returned <b>EVP_PKEY_CTX</b> or any of its duplicates.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name() are normally used when no <b>EVP_PKEY</b> structure is associated with the operations, for example during parameter generation or key generation for some algorithms.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup() duplicates the context <i>ctx</i>. It is not supported for a keygen operation.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>EVP_PKEY_CTX_free() frees up the context <i>ctx</i>. If <i>ctx</i> is NULL, nothing is done.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>EVP_PKEY_is_a() checks if the key type associated with <i>ctx</i> is <i>keytype</i>.</p>

<h2 id="On-EVP_PKEY_CTX">On <b>EVP_PKEY_CTX</b></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <b>EVP_PKEY_CTX</b> structure is an opaque public key algorithm context used by the OpenSSL high-level public key API. Contexts <b>MUST NOT</b> be shared between threads: that is it is not permissible to use the same context simultaneously in two threads.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="On-Key-Types">On Key Types</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>We mention "key type" in this manual, which is the same as "algorithm" in most cases, allowing either term to be used interchangeably. There are algorithms where the <i>key type</i> and the <i>algorithm</i> of the operations that use the keys are not the same, such as EC keys being used for ECDSA and ECDH operations.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Key types are given in two different manners:</p>
|

<dt id="Legacy-NID-or-EVP_PKEY-type">Legacy NID or EVP_PKEY type</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is the <i>id</i> used with EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id().</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These are <b>EVP_PKEY_RSA</b>, <b>EVP_PKEY_RSA_PSS</b>, <b>EVP_PKEY_DSA</b>, <b>EVP_PKEY_DH</b>, <b>EVP_PKEY_EC</b>, <b>EVP_PKEY_SM2</b>, <b>EVP_PKEY_X25519</b>, <b>EVP_PKEY_X448</b>, and are used by legacy methods.</p>

<dt id="Name-strings">Name strings</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is the <i>name</i> used with EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name().</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These are names like "RSA", "DSA", and what's available depends on what providers are currently accessible.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The OpenSSL providers offer a set of key types available this way, please see <a href="../man7/OSSL_PROVIDER-FIPS.html">OSSL_PROVIDER-FIPS(7)</a> and <a href="../man7/OSSL_PROVIDER-default.html">OSSL_PROVIDER-default(7)</a> and related documentation for more information.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(), EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup() return either the newly allocated <b>EVP_PKEY_CTX</b> structure or <b>NULL</b> if an error occurred.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>EVP_PKEY_CTX_free() does not return a value.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>EVP_PKEY_CTX_is_a() returns 1 for true and 0 for false.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>The EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(), EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(), EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_free() functions were added in OpenSSL 1.0.0.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey() functions were added in OpenSSL 3.0.</p>
