EVP_PKEY_is_a() is the provider side key checking function corresponding to checking EVP_PKEY_id() or an EVP_PKEY against macros like EVP_PKEY_EC. It also works with legacy internal keys. We also add a warning indoc/man3/EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA.pod regarding the reliability of certain functions that only understand legacy keys. Finally, we take the opportunity to clean up doc/man3/EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA.pod to better conform with man-page layout norms, see man-pages(7) on Linux.

=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_is_a, EVP_PKEY_can_sign
|
|
- key type and capabilities functions
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
|
|
int EVP_PKEY_is_a(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *name);
|
|
int EVP_PKEY_can_sign(const EVP_PKEY *pkey);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_is_a() checks if the key type of I<pkey> is I<name>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_can_sign() checks if the functionality for the key type of
|
|
I<pkey> supports signing. No other check is done, such as whether
|
|
I<pkey> contains a private key.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_is_a() returns 1 if I<pkey> has the key type I<name>,
|
|
otherwise 0.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_can_sign() returns 1 if the I<pkey> key type functionality
|
|
supports signing, otherwise 0.
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
=head2 EVP_PKEY_is_a()
|
|
|
|
The loaded providers and what key types they support will ultimately
|
|
determine what I<name> is possible to use with EVP_PKEY_is_a(). We do know
|
|
that the default provider supports RSA, DH, DSA and EC keys, so we can use
|
|
this as an crude example:
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
/* |pkey| is an EVP_PKEY* */
|
|
if (EVP_PKEY_is_a(pkey, "RSA")) {
|
|
BIGNUM *modulus = NULL;
|
|
if (EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param(pkey, "n", &modulus))
|
|
/* do whatever with the modulus */
|
|
BN_free(modulus);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
=head2 EVP_PKEY_can_sign()
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
/* |pkey| is an EVP_PKEY* */
|
|
if (!EVP_PKEY_can_sign(pkey)) {
|
|
fprintf(stderr, "Not a signing key!");
|
|
exit(1);
|
|
}
|
|
/* Sign something... */
