- .SH NAME
- X25519,
- X448
- \&\- EVP_PKEY X25519 and X448 support
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
- The \fBX25519\fR and \fBX448\fR EVP_PKEY implementation supports key generation and
- key derivation using \fBX25519\fR and \fBX448\fR. It has associated private and public
- key formats compatible with RFC 8410.
- .PP
- No additional parameters can be set during key generation.
- .PP
- The peer public key must be set using \fBEVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer()\fR when
- performing key derivation.
- .SH NOTES
- .IX Header "NOTES"
- A context for the \fBX25519\fR algorithm can be obtained by calling:
- .PP
- .Vb 1
- \& EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_X25519, NULL);
- .Ve
- .PP
- For the \fBX448\fR algorithm a context can be obtained by calling:
- .PP
- .Vb 1
- \& EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_X448, NULL);
- .Ve
- .PP
- X25519 or X448 private keys can be set directly using
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key\fR\|(3) or loaded from a PKCS#8 private key file
- using \fBPEM_read_bio_PrivateKey\fR\|(3) (or similar function). Completely new keys
- can also be generated (see the example below). Setting a private key also sets
- the associated public key.
- .PP
- X25519 or X448 public keys can be set directly using
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_public_key\fR\|(3) or loaded from a SubjectPublicKeyInfo
- structure in a PEM file using \fBPEM_read_bio_PUBKEY\fR\|(3) (or similar function).
- .SH EXAMPLES
- .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
- This example generates an \fBX25519\fR private key and writes it to standard
- output in PEM format:
- .PP
- .Vb 9
- \& #include <openssl/evp.h>
- \& #include <openssl/pem.h>
- \& ...
- \& EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
- \& EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_X25519, NULL);
- \& EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(pctx);
- \& EVP_PKEY_keygen(pctx, &pkey);
- \& EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx);
- \& PEM_write_PrivateKey(stdout, pkey, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);
- .Ve
- .PP
- The key derivation example in \fBEVP_PKEY_derive\fR\|(3) can be used with
- \&\fBX25519\fR and \fBX448\fR.
