Shane Lontis b808665265 Update core_names.h fields and document most fields.
Renamed some values in core_names i.e Some DH specific names were changed to use DH instead of FFC.
Added some strings values related to RSA keys.
Moved set_params related docs out of EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl.pod into its own file.
Updated Keyexchange and signature code and docs.
Moved some common DSA/DH docs into a shared EVP_PKEY-FFC.pod.
Moved Ed25519.pod into EVP_SIGNATURE-ED25519.pod and reworked it.

Added some usage examples. As a result of the usage examples the following change was also made:
ec allows OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_USE_COFACTOR_ECDH as a settable gen parameter.

=head1 NAME
EVP_KEYEXCH-DH
- DH Key Exchange algorithm support
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Key exchange support for the B<DH> key type.
=head2 DH key exchange parameters
=over 4
=item "pad" (B<OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_PAD>) <unsigned integer>
See L<provider-keyexch(7)/Common Key Exchange parameters>.

=head1 EXAMPLES
The examples assume a host and peer both generate keys using the same
named group (or domain parameters). See L<EVP_PKEY-DH(7)/Examples>.
Both the host and peer transfer their public key to each other.
To convert the peer's generated key pair to a public key in DER format in order
to transfer to the host:
EVP_PKEY *peer_key; /* It is assumed this contains the peers generated key */
unsigned char *peer_pub_der = NULL;
int peer_pub_der_len;
peer_pub_der_len = i2d_PUBKEY(peer_key, &peer_pub_der);
...
OPENSSL_free(peer_pub_der);
To convert the received peer's public key from DER format on the host:
const unsigned char *pd = peer_pub_der;
EVP_PKEY *peer_pub_key = d2i_PUBKEY(NULL, &pd, peer_pub_der_len);
...
EVP_PKEY_free(peer_pub_key);
To derive a shared secret on the host using the host's key and the peer's public
key:
/* It is assumed that the host_key and peer_pub_key are set up */
void derive_secret(EVP_KEY *host_key, EVP_PKEY *peer_pub_key)
{
unsigned int pad = 1;
OSSL_PARAM params[2];
unsigned char *secret = NULL;
size_t secret_len = 0;
EVP_PKEY_CTX *dctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(NULL, host_key, NULL);
EVP_PKEY_derive_init(dctx);
/* Optionally set the padding */
params[0] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint(OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_PAD, &pad);
params[1] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(dctx, params);
EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer(dctx, peer_pub_key);
/* Get the size by passing NULL as the buffer */
EVP_PKEY_derive(dctx, NULL, &secret_len);
secret = OPENSSL_zalloc(secret_len);
EVP_PKEY_derive(dctx, secret, &secret_len);
...
OPENSSL_clear_free(secret, secret_len);
EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(dctx);
}
Very similar code can be used by the peer to derive the same shared secret
using the host's public key and the peer's generated key pair.
