While stereotyped repetitions are frowned upon in literature, they serve a useful purpose in manual pages, because it is easier for the user to find certain information if it is always presented in the same way. For that reason, this commit harmonizes the varying formulations in the HISTORY section about which functions, flags, etc. were added in which OpenSSL version. It also attempts to make the pod files more grep friendly by avoiding to insert line breaks between the symbol names and the corresponding version number in which they were introduced (wherever possible). Some punctuation and typographical errors were fixed on the way. Reviewed-by: Tim Hudson <tjh@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/7854)

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The EVP_PKEY_keygen_init() function initializes a public key algorithm
|
|
context using key B<pkey> for a key generation operation.
|
|
|
|
The EVP_PKEY_keygen() function performs a key generation operation, the
|
|
generated key is written to B<ppkey>.
|
|
|
|
The functions EVP_PKEY_paramgen_init() and EVP_PKEY_paramgen() are similar
|
|
except parameters are generated.
|
|
|
|
The function EVP_PKEY_set_cb() sets the key or parameter generation callback
|
|
to B<cb>. The function EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_cb() returns the key or parameter
|
|
generation callback.
|
|
|
|
The function EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_keygen_info() returns parameters associated
|
|
with the generation operation. If B<idx> is -1 the total number of
|
|
parameters available is returned. Any non negative value returns the value of
|
|
that parameter. EVP_PKEY_CTX_gen_keygen_info() with a non-negative value for
|
|
B<idx> should only be called within the generation callback.
|
|
|
|
If the callback returns 0 then the key generation operation is aborted and an
|
|
error occurs. This might occur during a time consuming operation where
|
|
a user clicks on a "cancel" button.
|
|
|
|
The functions EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_app_data() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_app_data() set
|
|
and retrieve an opaque pointer. This can be used to set some application
|
|
defined value which can be retrieved in the callback: for example a handle
|
|
which is used to update a "progress dialog".
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_check() validates the key-pair given by B<ctx>. This function first tries
|
|
to use customized key check method in B<EVP_PKEY_METHOD> if it's present; otherwise
|
|
it calls a default one defined in B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_public_check() validates the public component of the key-pair given by B<ctx>.
|
|
This function first tries to use customized key check method in B<EVP_PKEY_METHOD>
|
|
if it's present; otherwise it calls a default one defined in B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_param_check() validates the algorithm parameters of the key-pair given by B<ctx>.
|
|
This function first tries to use customized key check method in B<EVP_PKEY_METHOD>
|
|
if it's present; otherwise it calls a default one defined in B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
After the call to EVP_PKEY_keygen_init() or EVP_PKEY_paramgen_init() algorithm
|
|
specific control operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters
|
|
for the operation.
|
|
|
|
The functions EVP_PKEY_keygen() and EVP_PKEY_paramgen() can be called more than
|
|
once on the same context if several operations are performed using the same
|
|
parameters.
|
|
|
|
The meaning of the parameters passed to the callback will depend on the
|
|
algorithm and the specific implementation of the algorithm. Some might not
|
|
give any useful information at all during key or parameter generation. Others
|
|
might not even call the callback.
|
|
|
|
The operation performed by key or parameter generation depends on the algorithm
|
|
used. In some cases (e.g. EC with a supplied named curve) the "generation"
|
|
option merely sets the appropriate fields in an EVP_PKEY structure.
|
|
|
|
In OpenSSL an EVP_PKEY structure containing a private key also contains the
|
|
public key components and parameters (if any). An OpenSSL private key is
|
|
equivalent to what some libraries call a "key pair". A private key can be used
|
|
in functions which require the use of a public key or parameters.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(), EVP_PKEY_paramgen_init(), EVP_PKEY_keygen() and
|
|
EVP_PKEY_paramgen() 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 public key algorithm.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_check(), EVP_PKEY_public_check() and EVP_PKEY_param_check() return 1
|
|
for success or others for failure. They return -2 if the operation is not supported
|
|
for the specific algorithm.
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
Generate a 2048 bit RSA key:
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx;
|
|
EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
|
|
|
|
ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_RSA, NULL);
|
|
if (!ctx)
|
|
/* Error occurred */
|
|
if (EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(ctx) <= 0)
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_bits(ctx, 2048) <= 0)
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
|
|
/* Generate key */
|
|
if (EVP_PKEY_keygen(ctx, &pkey) <= 0)
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
|
|
Generate a key from a set of parameters:
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx;
|
|
ENGINE *eng;
|
|
EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL, *param;
|
|
|
|
/* Assumed param, eng are set up already */
|
|
ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(param, eng);
|
|
if (!ctx)
|
|
/* Error occurred */
|
|
if (EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(ctx) <= 0)
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
|
|
/* Generate key */
|
|
if (EVP_PKEY_keygen(ctx, &pkey) <= 0)
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
|
|
Example of generation callback for OpenSSL public key implementations:
|
|
|
|
/* Application data is a BIO to output status to */
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_app_data(ctx, status_bio);
|
|
|
|
static int genpkey_cb(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx)
|
|
{
|
|
char c = '*';
|
|
BIO *b = EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_app_data(ctx);
|
|
int p = EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_keygen_info(ctx, 0);
|
|
|
|
if (p == 0)
|
|
c = '.';
|
|
if (p == 1)
|
|
c = '+';
|
|
if (p == 2)
|
|
c = '*';
|
|
if (p == 3)
|
|
c = '\n';
|
|
BIO_write(b, &c, 1);
|
|
(void)BIO_flush(b);
|
|
return 1;
|
|
}
