Shane Lontis 80f4fd18f7 Add KEM (Key encapsulation mechanism) support to providers
SP800-56Br2 requires support for the RSA primitives for RSASVE generate and recover.
As these are simple KEM operations another operation type has been added that can support future extensions.

Added public functions EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init(), EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(), EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init() and EVP_PKEY_decapsulate()
Added EVP_KEM_* functions.
Added OSSL_FUNC_kem_* dispatch functions

Added EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_kem_op() so that different types of KEM can be added in the future. This value must currently be set to
"RSASVE" after EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init() & EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init() as there is no default value.
This allows the existing RSA key types, keymanagers, and encoders to be used with the encapsulation operations.

The design of the public API's resulted from contributions from @romen & @levitte.

=head1 NAME
EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init, EVP_PKEY_decapsulate
- Key decapsulation using a private key algorithm
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
int EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int EVP_PKEY_decapsulate(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx,
unsigned char *secret, size_t *secretlen,
const unsigned char *wrapped, size_t wrappedlen);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init() function initializes a private key algorithm
context I<ctx> for a decapsulation operation.
The EVP_PKEY_decapsulate() function performs a private key decapsulation
operation using I<ctx>. The data to be decapsulated is specified using the
I<wrapped> and I<wrappedlen> parameters.
If I<secret> is I<NULL> then the maximum size of the output secret buffer
is written to the I<*secretlen> parameter. If I<secret> is not B<NULL> and the
call is successful then the decapsulated secret data is written to I<secret> and
the amount of data written to I<secretlen>.
=head1 NOTES
After the call to EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init() algorithm specific parameters
for the operation may be set using L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3)>. There are no
settable parameters currently.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init() and EVP_PKEY_decapsulate() return 1 for
success and 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2
indicates the operation is not supported by the private key algorithm.
=head1 EXAMPLES
Decapsulate data using RSA:
#include <openssl/evp.h>
/*
* NB: assumes rsa_priv_key is an RSA private key,
* and that in, inlen are already set up to contain encapsulated data.
*/
EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx = NULL;
size_t secretlen = 0;
unsigned char *secret = NULL;;
ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(libctx, rsa_priv_key, NULL);
if (ctx = NULL)
/* Error */
if (EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init(ctx) <= 0)
/* Error */
/* Set the mode - only 'RSASVE' is currently supported */
if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_kem_op(ctx, "RSASVE") <= 0)
/* Error */
/* Determine buffer length */
if (EVP_PKEY_decapsulate(ctx, NULL, &secretlen, in, inlen) <= 0)
/* Error */
secret = OPENSSL_malloc(secretlen);
if (secret == NULL)
/* malloc failure */
/* Decapsulated secret data is secretlen bytes long */
if (EVP_PKEY_decapsulaterctx, secret, &secretlen, in, inlen) <= 0)
/* Error */
