<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

EVP_PKEY_METHOD is a structure which holds a set of methods for a specific 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 different algorithms, and the other one is a stack of user-defined application-specific methods, which can be manipulated by using <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_meth_add0.html">EVP_PKEY_meth_add0(3)</a>.

The EVP_PKEY_METHOD objects are usually referenced by EVP_PKEY_CTX objects.

<h2 id="Methods">Methods</h2>

The methods are the underlying implementations of a particular public key algorithm present by the EVP_PKEY_CTX object.

<pre><code> int (*init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 int (*copy) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *dst, EVP_PKEY_CTX *src);
 void (*cleanup) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);</code></pre>

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 <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_CTX_new.html">EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id.html">EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_CTX_free.html">EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(3)</a> and <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup.html">EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup(3)</a>.

<pre><code> int (*paramgen_init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 int (*paramgen) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY *pkey);</code></pre>

The paramgen_init() and paramgen() methods deal with key parameter generation. They are called by <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_paramgen_init.html">EVP_PKEY_paramgen_init(3)</a> and <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_paramgen.html">EVP_PKEY_paramgen(3)</a> to handle the parameter generation process.

<pre><code> int (*keygen_init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 int (*keygen) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY *pkey);</code></pre>

The keygen_init() and keygen() methods are used to generate the actual key for the specified algorithm. They are called by <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_keygen_init.html">EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(3)</a> and <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_keygen.html">EVP_PKEY_keygen(3)</a>.

<h2 id="Functions">Functions</h2>

EVP_PKEY_meth_new() creates and returns a new EVP_PKEY_METHOD object, and associates the given id and flags. The following flags are supported:

<pre><code> EVP_PKEY_FLAG_AUTOARGLEN
 EVP_PKEY_FLAG_SIGCTX_CUSTOM</code></pre>

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&#39;t need to care about handling the case of returning output buffer size by themselves. For details on the output buffer size, refer to <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_sign.html">EVP_PKEY_sign(3)</a>.

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 <a href="../man3/EVP_DigestSignFinal.html">EVP_DigestSignFinal(3)</a>.

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.

EVP_PKEY_meth_remove() removes an EVP_PKEY_METHOD object added by EVP_PKEY_meth_add0().

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.

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

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.

EVP_PKEY_meth_remove() returns 1 if method is removed successfully or 0 if an error occurred.

All EVP_PKEY_meth_set and EVP_PKEY_meth_get functions have no return values. For the &#39;get&#39; functions, function pointers are returned by arguments.
