  182. .SH "DESCRIPTION"
  183. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  184. \&\fB\s-1EVP_KEYMGMT\s0\fR is a method object that represents key management
  185. implementations for different cryptographic algorithms.
  186. This method object provides functionality to have providers import key
  187. material from the outside, as well as export key material to the
  188. outside.
  189. Most of the functionality can only be used internally and has no
  190. public interface, this object is simply passed into other functions
  191. when needed.
  192. .PP
  193. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_fetch()\fR looks for an algorithm within the provider that
  194. has been loaded into the \fB\s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0\fR given by \fIctx\fR, having the
  195. name given by \fIalgorithm\fR and the properties given by \fIproperties\fR.
  196. .PP
  197. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_up_ref()\fR increments the reference count for the given
  198. \&\fB\s-1EVP_KEYMGMT\s0\fR \fIkeymgmt\fR.
  199. .PP
  200. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_free()\fR decrements the reference count for the given
  201. \&\fB\s-1EVP_KEYMGMT\s0\fR \fIkeymgmt\fR, and when the count reaches zero, frees it.
  202. If the argument is \s-1NULL,\s0 nothing is done.
  203. .PP
  204. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_provider()\fR returns the provider that has this particular
  205. implementation.
  206. .PP
  207. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_is_a()\fR checks if \fIkeymgmt\fR is an implementation of an
  208. algorithm that's identifiable with \fIname\fR.
  209. .PP
  210. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_name()\fR returns the algorithm name from the provided
  211. implementation for the given \fIkeymgmt\fR. Note that the \fIkeymgmt\fR may have
  212. multiple synonyms associated with it. In this case the first name from the
  213. algorithm definition is returned. Ownership of the returned string is
  214. retained by the \fIkeymgmt\fR object and should not be freed by the caller.
  215. .PP
  216. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_names_do_all()\fR traverses all names for the \fIkeymgmt\fR, and
  217. calls \fIfn\fR with each name and \fIdata\fR.
  218. .PP
  219. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_description()\fR returns a description of the \fIkeymgmt\fR, meant
  220. for display and human consumption. The description is at the discretion
  221. of the \fIkeymgmt\fR implementation.
  222. .PP
  223. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_do_all_provided()\fR traverses all key keymgmt implementations by
  224. all activated providers in the library context \fIlibctx\fR, and for each
  225. of the implementations, calls \fIfn\fR with the implementation method and
  226. \&\fIdata\fR as arguments.
  227. .PP
  228. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gettable_params()\fR and \fBEVP_KEYMGMT_settable_params()\fR return a
  229. constant \s-1\fBOSSL_PARAM\s0\fR\|(3) array that describes the names and types of key
  230. parameters that can be retrieved or set.
  231. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gettable_params()\fR is used by \fBEVP_PKEY_gettable_params\fR\|(3).
  232. .PP
  233. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gen_settable_params()\fR returns a constant \s-1\fBOSSL_PARAM\s0\fR\|(3) array that
  234. describes the names and types of key generation parameters that can be set via
  235. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params\fR\|(3).
  236. .SH "NOTES"
  237. .IX Header "NOTES"
  238. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_fetch()\fR may be called implicitly by other fetching
  239. functions, using the same library context and properties.
  240. Any other \s-1API\s0 that uses keys will typically do this.
  241. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  242. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  243. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_fetch()\fR returns a pointer to the key management
  244. implementation represented by an \s-1EVP_KEYMGMT\s0 object, or \s-1NULL\s0 on
  245. error.
  246. .PP
  247. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_up_ref()\fR returns 1 on success, or 0 on error.
  248. .PP
  249. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_names_do_all()\fR returns 1 if the callback was called for all
  250. names. A return value of 0 means that the callback was not called for any names.
  251. .PP
  252. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_free()\fR doesn't return any value.
  253. .PP
  254. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_provider()\fR returns a pointer to a provider object, or \s-1NULL\s0
  255. on error.
  256. .PP

  258. otherwise 0.
  259. .PP
  260. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_name()\fR returns the algorithm name, or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.
  261. .PP
  262. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_description()\fR returns a pointer to a description, or \s-1NULL\s0 if
  263. there isn't one.

  265. \&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gettable_params()\fR, \fBEVP_KEYMGMT_settable_params()\fR and
