There was recently an instance where a user was confused by the deprecation warnings in the docs. They believed the warning applied to the immediately preceding function declarations, when it fact it applied to the following function declarations. https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-users/2021-December/014665.html We clarify the wording to make it clear that the warning applies to the following functions.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get_base_id() returns the type of I<pkey>. For example
|
|
an RSA key will return B<EVP_PKEY_RSA>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get_id() returns the actual OID associated with I<pkey>.
|
|
Historically keys using the same algorithm could use different OIDs.
|
|
For example an RSA key could use the OIDs corresponding to
|
|
the NIDs B<NID_rsaEncryption> (equivalent to B<EVP_PKEY_RSA>) or
|
|
B<NID_rsa> (equivalent to B<EVP_PKEY_RSA2>). The use of
|
|
alternative non-standard OIDs is now rare so B<EVP_PKEY_RSA2> et al are not
|
|
often seen in practice.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_type() returns the underlying type of the NID I<type>. For example
|
|
EVP_PKEY_type(EVP_PKEY_RSA2) will return B<EVP_PKEY_RSA>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_set1_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_set1_DH() and
|
|
EVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY() set the key referenced by I<pkey> to I<key>. These
|
|
functions are deprecated. Applications should instead use
|
|
L<EVP_PKEY_fromdata(3)>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_assign_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_assign_DH(),
|
|
EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY(), EVP_PKEY_assign_POLY1305() and
|
|
EVP_PKEY_assign_SIPHASH() set the referenced key to I<key> however these use
|
|
the supplied I<key> internally and so I<key> will be freed when the parent
|
|
I<pkey> is freed. These macros are deprecated. Applications should instead read
|
|
an EVP_PKEY directly using the OSSL_DECODER APIs (see
|
|
L<OSSL_DECODER_CTX_new_for_pkey(3)>), or construct an EVP_PKEY from data using
|
|
L<EVP_PKEY_fromdata(3)>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get1_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get1_DH() and
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY() return the referenced key in I<pkey> or NULL if the
|
|
key is not of the correct type. The returned key must be freed after use.
|
|
These functions are deprecated. Applications should instead use the EVP_PKEY
|
|
directly where possible. If access to the low level key parameters is required
|
|
then applications should use L<EVP_PKEY_get_params(3)> and other similar
|
|
functions. To write an EVP_PKEY out use the OSSL_ENCODER APIs (see
|
|
L<OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_new_for_pkey(3)>).
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac(), EVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305(), EVP_PKEY_get0_siphash(),
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DH() and
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY() return the referenced key in I<pkey> or NULL if the
|
|
key is not of the correct type. The reference count of the returned key is
|
|
B<not> incremented and so the key must not be freed after use. These functions
|
|
are deprecated. Applications should instead use the EVP_PKEY directly where
|
|
possible. If access to the low level key parameters is required then
|
|
applications should use L<EVP_PKEY_get_params(3)> and other similar functions.
|
|
To write an EVP_PKEY out use the OSSL_ENCODER APIs (see
|
|
L<OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_new_for_pkey(3)>). EVP_PKEY_get0() returns a pointer to the
|
|
legacy key or NULL if the key is not legacy.
|
|
|
|
Note that if an EVP_PKEY was not constructed using one of the deprecated
|
|
functions such as EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_set1_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_set1_DH()
|
|
or EVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY(), or via the similarly named B<EVP_PKEY_assign> macros
|
|
described above then the internal key will be managed by a provider (see
|
|
L<provider(7)>). In that case the key returned by EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA(),
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get1_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get1_DH(), EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY(),
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac(), EVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305(), EVP_PKEY_get0_siphash(),
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DH() or
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY() will be a cached copy of the provider's key. Subsequent
|
|
updates to the provider's key will not be reflected back in the cached copy, and
|
|
updates made by an application to the returned key will not be reflected back in
|
|
the provider's key. Subsequent calls to EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA(),
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get1_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get1_DH() and EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY() will always
|
|
return the cached copy returned by the first call.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get0_engine() returns a reference to the ENGINE handling I<pkey>. This
|
|
function is deprecated. Applications should use providers instead of engines
|
|
(see L<provider(7)> for details).
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_set1_engine() sets the ENGINE handling I<pkey> to I<engine>. It
|
|
must be called after the key algorithm and components are set up.
|
|
If I<engine> does not include an B<EVP_PKEY_METHOD> for I<pkey> an
|
|
error occurs. This function is deprecated. Applications should use providers
|
|
instead of engines (see L<provider(7)> for details).
|
|
|
|
=head1 WARNINGS
|
|
|
|
The following functions are only reliable with B<EVP_PKEY>s that have
|
|
been assigned an internal key with EVP_PKEY_assign_*():
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get_id(), EVP_PKEY_get_base_id(), EVP_PKEY_type()
|
|
|
|
For EVP_PKEY key type checking purposes, L<EVP_PKEY_is_a(3)> is more generic.
|
|
|
|
The keys returned from the functions EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(),
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get0_DH() and EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY() were changed to have a "const"
|
|
return type in OpenSSL 3.0. As described above the keys returned may be cached
|
|
copies of the key held in a provider. Due to this, and unlike in earlier
|
|
versions of OpenSSL, they should be considered read-only copies of the key.
|
|
Updates to these keys will not be reflected back in the provider side key. The
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get1_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get1_DH() and
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY() functions were not changed to have a "const" return type
|
|
in order that applications can "free" the return value. However applications
|
|
should still consider them as read-only copies.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
In accordance with the OpenSSL naming convention the key obtained
|
|
from or assigned to the I<pkey> using the B<1> functions must be
|
|
freed as well as I<pkey>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_assign_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_assign_DH(),
|
|
EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY(), EVP_PKEY_assign_POLY1305()
|
|
and EVP_PKEY_assign_SIPHASH() are implemented as macros.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY() looks at the curve name id to determine if
|
|
the passed B<EC_KEY> is an L<SM2(7)> key, and will set the B<EVP_PKEY>
|
|
type to B<EVP_PKEY_SM2> in that case, instead of B<EVP_PKEY_EC>.
|
|
|
|
Most applications wishing to know a key type will simply call
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get_base_id() and will not care about the actual type:
|
|
which will be identical in almost all cases.
|
|
|
|
Previous versions of this document suggested using EVP_PKEY_type(pkey->type)
|
|
to determine the type of a key. Since B<EVP_PKEY> is now opaque this
|
|
is no longer possible: the equivalent is EVP_PKEY_get_base_id(pkey).
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_set1_engine() is typically used by an ENGINE returning an HSM
|
|
key as part of its routine to load a private key.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_set1_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_set1_DH() and
|
|
EVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY() return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get1_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get1_DH() and
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY() return the referenced key or NULL if
|
|
an error occurred.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_assign_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_assign_DH(),
|
|
EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY(), EVP_PKEY_assign_POLY1305()
|
|
and EVP_PKEY_assign_SIPHASH() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get_base_id(), EVP_PKEY_get_id() and EVP_PKEY_type() return a key
|
|
type or B<NID_undef> (equivalently B<EVP_PKEY_NONE>) on error.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_set1_engine() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.

=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
The EVP_PKEY_id() and EVP_PKEY_base_id() functions were renamed to
|
|
include C<get> in their names in OpenSSL 3.0, respectively. The old names
|
|
are kept as non-deprecated alias macros.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA, EVP_PKEY_set1_DSA, EVP_PKEY_set1_DH, EVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY,
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA, EVP_PKEY_get1_DSA, EVP_PKEY_get1_DH, EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY,
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA, EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA, EVP_PKEY_get0_DH, EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY,
|
|
EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA, EVP_PKEY_assign_DSA, EVP_PKEY_assign_DH,
|
|
EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY, EVP_PKEY_assign_POLY1305, EVP_PKEY_assign_SIPHASH,
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac, EVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305, EVP_PKEY_get0_siphash,
|
|
EVP_PKEY_set1_engine and EVP_PKEY_get0_engine were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
|
|
|
|
The return value from EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA, EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA, EVP_PKEY_get0_DH,
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY were made const in OpenSSL 3.0.
|
|
|
|
The function EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type() was previously documented on this page.
|
|
It was removed in OpenSSL 3.0.
