  185. .SH "NOTES"
  186. .IX Header "NOTES"
  187. Key validation used by the OpenSSL \s-1FIPS\s0 provider complies with the rules
  188. within \s-1SP800\-56A\s0 and \s-1SP800\-56B.\s0 For backwards compatibility reasons the OpenSSL
  189. default provider may use checks that are not as restrictive for certain key types.
  190. For further information see \*(L"\s-1DSA\s0 key validation\*(R" in \s-1\fBEVP_PKEY\-DSA\s0\fR\|(7),
  191. \&\*(L"\s-1DH\s0 key validation\*(R" in \s-1\fBEVP_PKEY\-DH\s0\fR\|(7), \*(L"\s-1EC\s0 key validation\*(R" in \s-1\fBEVP_PKEY\-EC\s0\fR\|(7) and

  193. .PP
  194. Refer to \s-1SP800\-56A\s0 and \s-1SP800\-56B\s0 for rules relating to when these functions
  195. should be called during key establishment.
  196. It is not necessary to call these functions after locally calling an approved key
  197. generation method, but may be required for assurance purposes when receiving
  198. keys from a third party.
  199. .PP
  200. The \fBEVP_PKEY_pairwise_check()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_private_check()\fR might not be bounded
  201. by any key size limits as private keys are not expected to be supplied by
  202. attackers. For that reason they might take an unbounded time if run on
  203. arbitrarily large keys.
