.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR 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.
.PP
There are two places where the \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR 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 \fBEVP_PKEY_meth_add0\fR\|(3).
.PP
The \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR objects are usually referenced by \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0\fR
objects.
.SS "Methods"
.IX Subsection "Methods"
The methods are the underlying implementations of a particular public key
algorithm present by the \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0\fR object.

The \fBinit()\fR method is called to initialize algorithm-specific data when a new
\&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0\fR is created. As opposed to \fBinit()\fR, the \fBcleanup()\fR method is called
when an \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0\fR is freed. The \fBcopy()\fR method is called when an \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0\fR
is being duplicated. Refer to \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_new\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id\fR\|(3),

The \fBdigestsign()\fR and \fBdigestverify()\fR methods are used to generate or verify
a signature in a one-shot mode. They could be called by \fBEVP_DigestSign\fR\|(3)
and \fBEVP_DigestVerify\fR\|(3).

\& int (*check) (EVP_PKEY *pkey);
\& int (*public_check) (EVP_PKEY *pkey);

.Ve
.PP
The \fBcheck()\fR, \fBpublic_check()\fR and \fBparam_check()\fR methods are used to validate a
key-pair, the public component and parameters respectively for a given \fBpkey\fR.
They could be called by \fBEVP_PKEY_check\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_public_check\fR\|(3) and
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_param_check\fR\|(3) respectively.
.PP
.Vb 1
\& int (*digest_custom) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_MD_CTX *mctx);
.Ve
.PP
The \fBdigest_custom()\fR method is used to generate customized digest content before
the real message is passed to functions like \fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate\fR\|(3) or
\&\fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit\fR\|(3). This is usually required by some public key
signature algorithms like \s-1SM2\s0 which requires a hashed prefix to the message to
be signed. The \fBdigest_custom()\fR function will be called by \fBEVP_DigestSignInit\fR\|(3)
and \fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit\fR\|(3).

\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_new()\fR creates and returns a new \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR object,
and associates the given \fBid\fR and \fBflags\fR. The following flags are
supported:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& EVP_PKEY_FLAG_AUTOARGLEN
\& EVP_PKEY_FLAG_SIGCTX_CUSTOM
.Ve
.PP
If an \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR is set with the \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_FLAG_AUTOARGLEN\s0\fR flag, the
maximum size of the output buffer will be automatically calculated or checked
in corresponding \s-1EVP\s0 methods by the \s-1EVP\s0 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
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_sign\fR\|(3).
.PP
The \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_FLAG_SIGCTX_CUSTOM\s0\fR is used to indicate the \fBsignctx()\fR method
of an \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR is always called by the \s-1EVP\s0 framework while doing a
digest signing operation by calling \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_free()\fR frees an existing \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR pointed by
\&\fBpmeth\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_copy()\fR copies an \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR object from \fBsrc\fR
to \fBdst\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_find()\fR finds an \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR object with the \fBid\fR.
This function first searches through the user-defined method objects and
then the built-in objects.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_add0()\fR adds \fBpmeth\fR to the user defined stack of methods.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_remove()\fR removes an \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR object added by
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_add0()\fR.
.PP
The EVP_PKEY_meth_set functions set the corresponding fields of
\&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR structure with the arguments passed.
.PP
The EVP_PKEY_meth_get functions get the corresponding fields of
\&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR structure to the arguments provided.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_new()\fR returns a pointer to a new \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR
object or returns \s-1NULL\s0 on error.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_free()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_meth_copy()\fR do not return values.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_find()\fR returns a pointer to the found \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR
object or returns \s-1NULL\s0 if not found.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_add0()\fR returns 1 if method is added successfully or 0
if an error occurred.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_remove()\fR returns 1 if method is removed successfully or
0 if an error occurred.
.PP
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.
