- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_base_id()\fR returns the type of \fIpkey\fR. For example
- an RSA key will return \fBEVP_PKEY_RSA\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_id()\fR returns the actual NID associated with \fIpkey\fR
- only if the \fIpkey\fR type isn't implemented just in a \fBprovider\fR\|(7).
- Historically keys using the same algorithm could use different NIDs.
- For example an RSA key could use the NIDs corresponding to
- the NIDs \fBNID_rsaEncryption\fR (equivalent to \fBEVP_PKEY_RSA\fR) or
- \&\fBNID_rsa\fR (equivalent to \fBEVP_PKEY_RSA2\fR). The use of
- alternative non-standard NIDs is now rare so \fBEVP_PKEY_RSA2\fR et al are not
- often seen in practice.
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_id()\fR returns \-1 (\fBEVP_PKEY_KEYMGMT\fR) if the \fIpkey\fR is
- only implemented in a \fBprovider\fR\|(7).
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_type()\fR returns the underlying type of the NID \fItype\fR. For example
- EVP_PKEY_type(EVP_PKEY_RSA2) will return \fBEVP_PKEY_RSA\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_set1_RSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_set1_DSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_set1_DH()\fR and
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY()\fR set the key referenced by \fIpkey\fR to \fIkey\fR. These
- functions are deprecated. Applications should instead use
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_fromdata\fR\|(3).
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_assign_RSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_assign_DSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_assign_DH()\fR,
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_assign_POLY1305()\fR and
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_assign_SIPHASH()\fR set the referenced key to \fIkey\fR however these use
- the supplied \fIkey\fR internally and so \fIkey\fR will be freed when the parent
- \&\fIpkey\fR is freed. These macros are deprecated. Applications should instead read
- an EVP_PKEY directly using the OSSL_DECODER APIs (see
- \&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_new_for_pkey\fR\|(3)), or construct an EVP_PKEY from data using
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_fromdata\fR\|(3).
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get1_RSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_DSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_DH()\fR and
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY()\fR return the referenced key in \fIpkey\fR or NULL if the
- key is not of the correct type. The returned key must be freed after use.
- These functions are deprecated. Applications should instead use the EVP_PKEY
- directly where possible. If access to the low level key parameters is required
- then applications should use \fBEVP_PKEY_get_params\fR\|(3) and other similar
- functions. To write an EVP_PKEY out use the OSSL_ENCODER APIs (see
- \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_new_for_pkey\fR\|(3)).
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get0_hmac()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get0_siphash()\fR,
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get0_RSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get0_DSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get0_DH()\fR and
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY()\fR return the referenced key in \fIpkey\fR or NULL if the
- key is not of the correct type. The reference count of the returned key is
- \&\fBnot\fR incremented and so the key must not be freed after use. These functions
- are deprecated. Applications should instead use the EVP_PKEY directly where
- possible. If access to the low level key parameters is required then
- applications should use \fBEVP_PKEY_get_params\fR\|(3) and other similar functions.
- To write an EVP_PKEY out use the OSSL_ENCODER APIs (see
- \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_new_for_pkey\fR\|(3)). \fBEVP_PKEY_get0()\fR returns a pointer to the
- legacy key or NULL if the key is not legacy.
- .PP
- Note that if an EVP_PKEY was not constructed using one of the deprecated
- functions such as \fBEVP_PKEY_set1_RSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_set1_DSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_set1_DH()\fR
- or \fBEVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY()\fR, or via the similarly named \fBEVP_PKEY_assign\fR macros
- described above then the internal key will be managed by a provider (see
- \&\fBprovider\fR\|(7)). In that case the key returned by \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_RSA()\fR,
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get1_DSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_DH()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY()\fR,
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get0_hmac()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get0_siphash()\fR,
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get0_RSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get0_DSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get0_DH()\fR or
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY()\fR will be a cached copy of the provider's key. Subsequent
- updates to the provider's key will not be reflected back in the cached copy, and
- updates made by an application to the returned key will not be reflected back in
- the provider's key. Subsequent calls to \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_RSA()\fR,
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get1_DSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_DH()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY()\fR will always
- return the cached copy returned by the first call.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get0_engine()\fR returns a reference to the ENGINE handling \fIpkey\fR. This
- function is deprecated. Applications should use providers instead of engines
- (see \fBprovider\fR\|(7) for details).
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_set1_engine()\fR sets the ENGINE handling \fIpkey\fR to \fIengine\fR. It
- must be called after the key algorithm and components are set up.
- If \fIengine\fR does not include an \fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR for \fIpkey\fR an
- error occurs. This function is deprecated. Applications should use providers
- instead of engines (see \fBprovider\fR\|(7) for details).
- .SH WARNINGS
- .IX Header "WARNINGS"
- The following functions are only reliable with \fBEVP_PKEY\fRs that have
- been assigned an internal key with EVP_PKEY_assign_*():
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_id()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get_base_id()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_type()\fR
- .PP
- For EVP_PKEY key type checking purposes, \fBEVP_PKEY_is_a\fR\|(3) is more generic.
- .PP
- For purposes of retrieving the name of the \fBEVP_PKEY\fR the function
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get0_type_name\fR\|(3) is more generally useful.
- .PP
- The keys returned from the functions \fBEVP_PKEY_get0_RSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get0_DSA()\fR,
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get0_DH()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY()\fR were changed to have a "const"
- return type in OpenSSL 3.0. As described above the keys returned may be cached
- copies of the key held in a provider. Due to this, and unlike in earlier
- versions of OpenSSL, they should be considered read-only copies of the key.
- Updates to these keys will not be reflected back in the provider side key. The
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get1_RSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_DSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_DH()\fR and
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY()\fR functions were not changed to have a "const" return type
- in order that applications can "free" the return value. However applications
- should still consider them as read-only copies.
- .SH NOTES
- .IX Header "NOTES"
- In accordance with the OpenSSL naming convention the key obtained
- from or assigned to the \fIpkey\fR using the \fB1\fR functions must be
- freed as well as \fIpkey\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_assign_RSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_assign_DSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_assign_DH()\fR,
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_assign_POLY1305()\fR
- and \fBEVP_PKEY_assign_SIPHASH()\fR are implemented as macros.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY()\fR looks at the curve name id to determine if
- the passed \fBEC_KEY\fR is an \fBSM2\fR\|(7) key, and will set the \fBEVP_PKEY\fR
- type to \fBEVP_PKEY_SM2\fR in that case, instead of \fBEVP_PKEY_EC\fR.
- .PP
- Most applications wishing to know a key type will simply call
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_base_id()\fR and will not care about the actual type:
- which will be identical in almost all cases.
- .PP
- Previous versions of this document suggested using EVP_PKEY_type(pkey\->type)
- to determine the type of a key. Since \fBEVP_PKEY\fR is now opaque this
- is no longer possible: the equivalent is EVP_PKEY_get_base_id(pkey).
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_set1_engine()\fR is typically used by an ENGINE returning an HSM
- key as part of its routine to load a private key.
- .SH "RETURN VALUES"
- .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_set1_RSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_set1_DSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_set1_DH()\fR and
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY()\fR return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get1_RSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_DSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_DH()\fR and
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY()\fR return the referenced key or NULL if
- an error occurred.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_assign_RSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_assign_DSA()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_assign_DH()\fR,
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_assign_POLY1305()\fR
- and \fBEVP_PKEY_assign_SIPHASH()\fR return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_base_id()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get_id()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_type()\fR return a key
- type or \fBNID_undef\fR (equivalently \fBEVP_PKEY_NONE\fR) on error.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_set1_engine()\fR returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.

- .IX Header "HISTORY"
- The \fBEVP_PKEY_id()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_base_id()\fR functions were renamed to

- EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY were made const in OpenSSL 3.0.
