DESCRIPTION
EVP_PKEY_METHOD is a structure which holds a set of methods for a spe-
cific public key cryptographic algorithm. Those methods are usually
used to perform different jobs, such as generating a key, signing or
verifying, encrypting or decrypting, etc.
There are two places where the EVP_PKEY_METHOD objects are stored: one
is a built-in static array representing the standard methods for dif-
ferent algorithms, and the other one is a stack of user-defined appli-
cation-specific methods, which can be manipulated by using
EVP_PKEY_meth_add0(3).
The EVP_PKEY_METHOD objects are usually referenced by EVP_PKEY_CTX
objects.
Methods
The methods are the underlying implementations of a particular public
key algorithm present by the EVP_PKEY_CTX object.
int (*init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int (*copy) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *dst, EVP_PKEY_CTX *src);
void (*cleanup) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
The init() method is called to initialize algorithm-specific data when
a new EVP_PKEY_CTX is created. As opposed to init(), the cleanup()
method is called when an EVP_PKEY_CTX is freed. The copy() method is
called when an EVP_PKEY_CTX is being duplicated. Refer to
EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(3), EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(3), EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(3) and
EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup(3).
int (*paramgen_init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int (*paramgen) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY *pkey);
The paramgen_init() and paramgen() methods deal with key parameter gen-
eration. They are called by EVP_PKEY_paramgen_init(3) and
EVP_PKEY_paramgen(3) to handle the parameter generation process.
int (*keygen_init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int (*keygen) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY *pkey);
The keygen_init() and keygen() methods are used to generate the actual
key for the specified algorithm. They are called by EVP_PKEY_key-
gen_init(3) and EVP_PKEY_keygen(3).
int (*sign_init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int (*sign) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *sig, size_t *siglen,
const unsigned char *tbs, size_t tbslen);
The sign_init() and sign() methods are used to generate the signature
of a piece of data using a private key. They are called by
EVP_PKEY_sign_init(3) and EVP_PKEY_sign(3).
int (*verify_init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int (*verify) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx,
const unsigned char *sig, size_t siglen,
const unsigned char *tbs, size_t tbslen);
The verify_init() and verify() methods are used to verify whether a
signature is valid. They are called by EVP_PKEY_verify_init(3) and
EVP_PKEY_verify(3).
int (*verify_recover_init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int (*verify_recover) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx,
unsigned char *rout, size_t *routlen,
const unsigned char *sig, size_t siglen);
The verify_recover_init() and verify_recover() methods are used to ver-
ify a signature and then recover the digest from the signature (for
instance, a signature that was generated by RSA signing algorithm).
They are called by EVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init(3) and EVP_PKEY_ver-
ify_recover(3).
int (*signctx_init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_MD_CTX *mctx);
int (*signctx) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *sig, size_t *siglen,
EVP_MD_CTX *mctx);
The signctx_init() and signctx() methods are used to sign a digest
present by a EVP_MD_CTX object. They are called by the EVP_DigestSign
functions. See EVP_DigestSignInit(3) for detail.
int (*verifyctx_init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_MD_CTX *mctx);
int (*verifyctx) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const unsigned char *sig, int siglen,
EVP_MD_CTX *mctx);
The verifyctx_init() and verifyctx() methods are used to verify a sig-
nature against the data in a EVP_MD_CTX object. They are called by the
various EVP_DigestVerify functions. See EVP_DigestVerifyInit(3) for
detail.
int (*encrypt_init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int (*encrypt) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out, size_t *outlen,
const unsigned char *in, size_t inlen);
The encrypt_init() and encrypt() methods are used to encrypt a piece of
data. They are called by EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init(3) and
EVP_PKEY_encrypt(3).
int (*decrypt_init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int (*decrypt) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out, size_t *outlen,
const unsigned char *in, size_t inlen);
The decrypt_init() and decrypt() methods are used to decrypt a piece of
data. They are called by EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init(3) and
EVP_PKEY_decrypt(3).
int (*derive_init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int (*derive) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *key, size_t *keylen);
The derive_init() and derive() methods are used to derive the shared
secret from a public key algorithm (for instance, the DH algorithm).
They are called by EVP_PKEY_derive_init(3) and EVP_PKEY_derive(3).
int (*ctrl) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, int type, int p1, void *p2);
int (*ctrl_str) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const char *type, const char *value);
The ctrl() and ctrl_str() methods are used to adjust algorithm-specific
settings. See EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl(3) and related functions for detail.
int (*digestsign) (EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *sig, size_t *siglen,
const unsigned char *tbs, size_t tbslen);
int (*digestverify) (EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const unsigned char *sig,
size_t siglen, const unsigned char *tbs,
size_t tbslen);
The digestsign() and digestverify() methods are used to generate or
verify a signature in a one-shot mode. They could be called by
EVP_DigetSign(3) and EVP_DigestVerify(3).
Functions
EVP_PKEY_meth_new() creates and returns a new EVP_PKEY_METHOD object,
and associates the given id and flags. The following flags are sup-
ported:
EVP_PKEY_FLAG_AUTOARGLEN
EVP_PKEY_FLAG_SIGCTX_CUSTOM
If an EVP_PKEY_METHOD is set with the EVP_PKEY_FLAG_AUTOARGLEN flag,
the maximum size of the output buffer will be automatically calculated
or checked in corresponding EVP methods by the EVP framework. Thus the
implementations of these methods don't need to care about handling the
case of returning output buffer size by themselves. For details on the
output buffer size, refer to EVP_PKEY_sign(3).
The EVP_PKEY_FLAG_SIGCTX_CUSTOM is used to indicate the signctx()
method of an EVP_PKEY_METHOD is always called by the EVP framework
while doing a digest signing operation by calling EVP_DigestSignFi-
nal(3).
EVP_PKEY_meth_free() frees an existing EVP_PKEY_METHOD pointed by
pmeth.
EVP_PKEY_meth_copy() copies an EVP_PKEY_METHOD object from src to dst.
EVP_PKEY_meth_find() finds an EVP_PKEY_METHOD object with the id. This
function first searches through the user-defined method objects and
then the built-in objects.
EVP_PKEY_meth_add0() adds pmeth to the user defined stack of methods.
The EVP_PKEY_meth_set functions set the corresponding fields of
EVP_PKEY_METHOD structure with the arguments passed.
The EVP_PKEY_meth_get functions get the corresponding fields of
EVP_PKEY_METHOD structure to the arguments provided.
RETURN VALUES
EVP_PKEY_meth_new() returns a pointer to a new EVP_PKEY_METHOD object
or returns NULL on error.
EVP_PKEY_meth_free() and EVP_PKEY_meth_copy() do not return values.
EVP_PKEY_meth_find() returns a pointer to the found EVP_PKEY_METHOD
object or returns NULL if not found.
EVP_PKEY_meth_add0() returns 1 if method is added successfully or 0 if
an error occurred.
All EVP_PKEY_meth_set and EVP_PKEY_meth_get functions have no return
values. For the 'get' functions, function pointers are returned by
arguments.
