  66. \&\- EVP_PKEY X25519 and X448 support
  67. .SH DESCRIPTION
  68. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  69. The \fBX25519\fR and \fBX448\fR EVP_PKEY implementation supports key generation and
  70. key derivation using \fBX25519\fR and \fBX448\fR. It has associated private and public
  71. key formats compatible with RFC 8410.
  72. .PP
  73. No additional parameters can be set during key generation.
  74. .PP
  75. The peer public key must be set using \fBEVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer()\fR when
  76. performing key derivation.
  77. .SH NOTES
  78. .IX Header "NOTES"
  79. A context for the \fBX25519\fR algorithm can be obtained by calling:
  80. .PP
  81. .Vb 1
  82. \& EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_X25519, NULL);
  83. .Ve
  84. .PP
  85. For the \fBX448\fR algorithm a context can be obtained by calling:
  86. .PP
  87. .Vb 1
  88. \& EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_X448, NULL);
  89. .Ve
  90. .PP
  91. X25519 or X448 private keys can be set directly using
  92. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key\fR\|(3) or loaded from a PKCS#8 private key file
  93. using \fBPEM_read_bio_PrivateKey\fR\|(3) (or similar function). Completely new keys
  94. can also be generated (see the example below). Setting a private key also sets
  95. the associated public key.
  96. .PP
  97. X25519 or X448 public keys can be set directly using
  98. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_public_key\fR\|(3) or loaded from a SubjectPublicKeyInfo
  99. structure in a PEM file using \fBPEM_read_bio_PUBKEY\fR\|(3) (or similar function).
  100. .SH EXAMPLES
  101. .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
  102. This example generates an \fBX25519\fR private key and writes it to standard
  103. output in PEM format:
  104. .PP
  105. .Vb 9
  106. \& #include <openssl/evp.h>
  107. \& #include <openssl/pem.h>
  108. \& ...
  109. \& EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
  110. \& EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_X25519, NULL);
  111. \& EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(pctx);
  112. \& EVP_PKEY_keygen(pctx, &pkey);
  113. \& EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx);
  114. \& PEM_write_PrivateKey(stdout, pkey, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);
  115. .Ve
  116. .PP
  117. The key derivation example in \fBEVP_PKEY_derive\fR\|(3) can be used with
  118. \&\fBX25519\fR and \fBX448\fR.
