- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
- The KEYMGMT operation doesn't have much public visibility in OpenSSL
- libraries, it's rather an internal operation that's designed to work
- in tandem with operations that use private/public key pairs.
- .PP
- Because the KEYMGMT operation shares knowledge with the operations it
- works with in tandem, they must belong to the same provider.
- The OpenSSL libraries will ensure that they do.
- .PP
- The primary responsibility of the KEYMGMT operation is to hold the
- provider side key data for the OpenSSL library EVP_PKEY structure.
- .PP
- All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
- \&\fIlibcrypto\fR and the provider in \fBOSSL_DISPATCH\fR\|(3) arrays via
- \&\fBOSSL_ALGORITHM\fR\|(3) arrays that are returned by the provider's
- \&\fBprovider_query_operation()\fR function
- (see "Provider Functions" in \fBprovider\-base\fR\|(7)).
- .PP
- All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition
- named \fBOSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn\fR, and a helper function to retrieve the
- function pointer from a \fBOSSL_DISPATCH\fR\|(3) element named
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_{name}\fR.
- For example, the "function" \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_new()\fR has these:
- .PP
- .Vb 3
- \& typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_new_fn)(void *provctx);
- \& static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_new_fn
- \& OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_new(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);
- .Ve
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_DISPATCH\fR\|(3) arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as
- macros in \fBopenssl\-core_dispatch.h\fR\|(7), as follows:

- .SS "Key Objects"
- .IX Subsection "Key Objects"
- A key object is a collection of data for an asymmetric key, and is
- represented as \fIkeydata\fR in this manual.
- .PP
- The exact contents of a key object are defined by the provider, and it
- is assumed that different operations in one and the same provider use
- the exact same structure to represent this collection of data, so that
- for example, a key object that has been created using the KEYMGMT
- interface that we document here can be passed as is to other provider
- operations, such as \fBOP_signature_sign_init()\fR (see
- \&\fBprovider\-signature\fR\|(7)).
- .PP
- With some of the KEYMGMT functions, it's possible to select a specific
- subset of data to handle, governed by the bits in a \fIselection\fR
- indicator. The bits are:
- .IP \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PRIVATE_KEY\fR 4
- .IX Item "OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PRIVATE_KEY"
- Indicating that the private key data in a key object should be
- considered.
- .IP \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PUBLIC_KEY\fR 4
- .IX Item "OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PUBLIC_KEY"
- Indicating that the public key data in a key object should be
- considered.
- .IP \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS\fR 4
- .IX Item "OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS"
- Indicating that the domain parameters in a key object should be
- considered.
- .IP \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_OTHER_PARAMETERS\fR 4
- .IX Item "OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_OTHER_PARAMETERS"
- Indicating that other parameters in a key object should be
- considered.
- .Sp
- Other parameters are key parameters that don't fit any other
- classification. In other words, this particular selector bit works as
- a last resort bit bucket selector.
- .PP
- Some selector bits have also been combined for easier use:
- .IP \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_ALL_PARAMETERS\fR 4
- .IX Item "OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_ALL_PARAMETERS"
- Indicating that all key object parameters should be considered,
- regardless of their more granular classification.
- .Sp
- This is a combination of \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS\fR and
- \&\fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_OTHER_PARAMETERS\fR.
- .IP \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_KEYPAIR\fR 4
- .IX Item "OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_KEYPAIR"
- Indicating that both the whole key pair in a key object should be
- considered, i.e. the combination of public and private key.
- .Sp
- This is a combination of \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PRIVATE_KEY\fR and
- \&\fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PUBLIC_KEY\fR.
- .IP \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_ALL\fR 4
- .IX Item "OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_ALL"
- Indicating that everything in a key object should be considered.
- .PP
- The exact interpretation of those bits or how they combine is left to
- each function where you can specify a selector.
- .PP
- It's left to the provider implementation to decide what is reasonable
- to do with regards to received selector bits and how to do it.
- Among others, an implementation of \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_match()\fR might opt
- to not compare the private half if it has compared the public half,
- since a match of one half implies a match of the other half.
- .SS "Constructing and Destructing Functions"
- .IX Subsection "Constructing and Destructing Functions"
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_new()\fR should create a provider side key object. The
- provider context \fIprovctx\fR is passed and may be incorporated in the
- key object, but that is not mandatory.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_free()\fR should free the passed \fIkeydata\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_init()\fR, \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_set_template()\fR,
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_get_params()\fR, \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_gettable_params()\fR,
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_set_params()\fR, \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_settable_params()\fR,
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen()\fR and \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_cleanup()\fR work together as a
- more elaborate context based key object constructor.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_init()\fR should create the key object generation context
- and initialize it with \fIselections\fR, which will determine what kind
- of contents the key object to be generated should get.
- The \fIparams\fR, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to
- using \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_set_params()\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_set_template()\fR should add \fItemplate\fR to the context
- \&\fIgenctx\fR. The \fItemplate\fR is assumed to be a key object constructed
- with the same KEYMGMT, and from which content that the implementation
- chooses can be used as a template for the key object to be generated.
- Typically, the generation of a DSA or DH key would get the domain
- parameters from this \fItemplate\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_get_params()\fR should retrieve parameters into
- \&\fIparams\fR in the key object generation context \fIgenctx\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_gettable_params()\fR should return a constant array of
- descriptor \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3), for parameters that
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_get_params()\fR can handle.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_set_params()\fR should set additional parameters from
- \&\fIparams\fR in the key object generation context \fIgenctx\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_settable_params()\fR should return a constant array of
- descriptor \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3), for parameters that \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_set_params()\fR
- can handle.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen()\fR should perform the key object generation itself, and
- return the result. The callback \fIcb\fR should be called at regular
- intervals with indications on how the key object generation
- progresses.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_cleanup()\fR should clean up and free the key object
- generation context \fIgenctx\fR
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_load()\fR creates a provider side key object based on a
- \&\fIreference\fR object with a size of \fIreference_sz\fR bytes, that only the
- provider knows how to interpret, but that may come from other operations.
- Outside the provider, this reference is simply an array of bytes.
- .PP
- At least one of \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_new()\fR, \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen()\fR and
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_load()\fR are mandatory, as well as \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_free()\fR and
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_has()\fR. Additionally, if \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen()\fR is present,
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_init()\fR and \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_cleanup()\fR must be
- present as well.
- .SS "Key Object Information Functions"
- .IX Subsection "Key Object Information Functions"
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_get_params()\fR should extract information data associated
- with the given \fIkeydata\fR, see "Common Information Parameters".
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gettable_params()\fR should return a constant array of
- descriptor \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3), for parameters that \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_get_params()\fR
- can handle.
- .PP
- If \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gettable_params()\fR is present, \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_get_params()\fR
- must also be present, and vice versa.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_set_params()\fR should update information data associated
- with the given \fIkeydata\fR, see "Common Information Parameters".
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_settable_params()\fR should return a constant array of
- descriptor \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3), for parameters that \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_set_params()\fR
- can handle.
- .PP
- If \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_settable_params()\fR is present, \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_set_params()\fR
- must also be present, and vice versa.
- .SS "Key Object Checking Functions"
- .IX Subsection "Key Object Checking Functions"
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_query_operation_name()\fR should return the name of the
- supported algorithm for the operation \fIoperation_id\fR. This is
- similar to \fBprovider_query_operation()\fR (see \fBprovider\-base\fR\|(7)),
- but only works as an advisory. If this function is not present, or
- returns NULL, the caller is free to assume that there's an algorithm
- from the same provider, of the same name as the one used to fetch the
- keymgmt and try to use that.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_has()\fR should check whether the given \fIkeydata\fR contains the subsets
- of data indicated by the \fIselector\fR. A combination of several
- selector bits must consider all those subsets, not just one. An
- implementation is, however, free to consider an empty subset of data
- to still be a valid subset. For algorithms where some selection is
- not meaningful such as \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS\fR for
- RSA keys the function should just return 1 as the selected subset
- is not really missing in the key.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_validate()\fR should check if the \fIkeydata\fR contains valid
- data subsets indicated by \fIselection\fR. Some combined selections of
- data subsets may cause validation of the combined data.
- For example, the combination of \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PRIVATE_KEY\fR and
- \&\fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PUBLIC_KEY\fR (or \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_KEYPAIR\fR
- for short) is expected to check that the pairwise consistency of
- \&\fIkeydata\fR is valid. The \fIchecktype\fR parameter controls what type of check is
- performed on the subset of data. Two types of check are defined:
- \&\fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_VALIDATE_FULL_CHECK\fR and \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_VALIDATE_QUICK_CHECK\fR.
- The interpretation of how much checking is performed in a full check versus a
- quick check is key type specific. Some providers may have no distinction
- between a full check and a quick check. For algorithms where some selection is
- not meaningful such as \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS\fR for
- RSA keys the function should just return 1 as there is nothing to validate for
- that selection.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_match()\fR should check if the data subset indicated by
- \&\fIselection\fR in \fIkeydata1\fR and \fIkeydata2\fR match. It is assumed that
- the caller has ensured that \fIkeydata1\fR and \fIkeydata2\fR are both owned
- by the implementation of this function.
- .SS "Key Object Import, Export and Duplication Functions"
- .IX Subsection "Key Object Import, Export and Duplication Functions"
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import()\fR should import data indicated by \fIselection\fR into
- \&\fIkeydata\fR with values taken from the \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array \fIparams\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export()\fR should extract values indicated by \fIselection\fR
- from \fIkeydata\fR, create an \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array with them and call
- \&\fIparam_cb\fR with that array as well as the given \fIcbarg\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import_types()\fR and \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import_types_ex()\fR
- should return a constant array of descriptor
- \&\fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) for data indicated by \fIselection\fR, for parameters that
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import()\fR can handle.
- Either \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import_types()\fR or \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import_types_ex()\fR,
- must be implemented, if \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import_types_ex()\fR is implemented, then
- it is preferred over \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import_types()\fR.
- Providers that are supposed to be backward compatible with OpenSSL 3.0 or 3.1
- must continue to implement \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import_types()\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export_types()\fR and \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export_types_ex()\fR
- should return a constant array of descriptor
- \&\fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) for data indicated by \fIselection\fR, that the
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export()\fR callback can expect to receive.
- Either \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export_types()\fR or \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export_types_ex()\fR,
- must be implemented, if \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export_types_ex()\fR is implemented, then
- it is preferred over \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export_types()\fR.
- Providers that are supposed to be backward compatible with OpenSSL 3.0 or 3.1
- must continue to implement \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export_types()\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_dup()\fR should duplicate data subsets indicated by
- \&\fIselection\fR or the whole key data \fIkeydata_from\fR and create a new
- provider side key object with the data.
- .SS "Common Information Parameters"
- .IX Subsection "Common Information Parameters"
- See \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) for further details on the parameters structure.
- .PP
- Common information parameters currently recognised by all built-in
- keymgmt algorithms are as follows:
- .IP """bits"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_BITS\fR) <integer>" 4
- .IX Item """bits"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_BITS) <integer>"
- The value should be the cryptographic length of the cryptosystem to
- which the key belongs, in bits. The definition of cryptographic
- length is specific to the key cryptosystem.
- .IP """max-size"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_MAX_SIZE\fR) <integer>" 4
- .IX Item """max-size"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_MAX_SIZE) <integer>"
- The value should be the maximum size that a caller should allocate to
- safely store a signature (called \fIsig\fR in \fBprovider\-signature\fR\|(7)),
- the result of asymmetric encryption / decryption (\fIout\fR in
- \&\fBprovider\-asym_cipher\fR\|(7), a derived secret (\fIsecret\fR in
- \&\fBprovider\-keyexch\fR\|(7), and similar data).
- .Sp
- Providers need to implement this parameter
- in order to properly support various use cases such as CMS signing.
- .Sp
- Because an EVP_KEYMGMT method is always tightly bound to another method
- (signature, asymmetric cipher, key exchange, ...) and must be of the
- same provider, this number only needs to be synchronised with the
- dimensions handled in the rest of the same provider.
- .IP """security-bits"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_SECURITY_BITS\fR) <integer>" 4
- .IX Item """security-bits"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_SECURITY_BITS) <integer>"
- The value should be the number of security bits of the given key.
- Bits of security is defined in SP800\-57.
- .IP """mandatory-digest"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_MANDATORY_DIGEST\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
- .IX Item """mandatory-digest"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_MANDATORY_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>"
- If there is a mandatory digest for performing a signature operation with
- keys from this keymgmt, this parameter should get its name as value.
- .Sp
- When \fBEVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_name()\fR queries this parameter and it's
- filled in by the implementation, its return value will be 2.
- .Sp
- If the keymgmt implementation fills in the value \f(CW""\fR or \f(CW"UNDEF"\fR,
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_name\fR\|(3) will place the string \f(CW"UNDEF"\fR into
- its argument \fImdname\fR. This signifies that no digest should be specified
- with the corresponding signature operation.
- .IP """default-digest"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_DEFAULT_DIGEST\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
- .IX Item """default-digest"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_DEFAULT_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>"
- If there is a default digest for performing a signature operation with
- keys from this keymgmt, this parameter should get its name as value.
- .Sp
- When \fBEVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_name\fR\|(3) queries this parameter and it's
- filled in by the implementation, its return value will be 1. Note that if
- \&\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_MANDATORY_DIGEST\fR is responded to as well,
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_name\fR\|(3) ignores the response to this
- parameter.
- .Sp
- If the keymgmt implementation fills in the value \f(CW""\fR or \f(CW"UNDEF"\fR,
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_name\fR\|(3) will place the string \f(CW"UNDEF"\fR into
- its argument \fImdname\fR. This signifies that no digest has to be specified
- with the corresponding signature operation, but may be specified as an
- option.
- .PP
- The OpenSSL FIPS provider also supports the following parameters:
- .IP """fips-indicator"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR\fR) <integer>" 4
- .IX Item """fips-indicator"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR) <integer>"
- A getter that returns 1 if the operation is FIPS approved, or 0 otherwise.
- This may be used after calling \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen()\fR function. It may
- return 0 if either the "key-check", or "sign-check" are set to 0.
- .IP """key-check"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK\fR) <integer>" 4
- .IX Item """key-check"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK) <integer>"
- If required this parameter should be set using \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_set_params()\fR
- or \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_init()\fR.
- The default value of 1 causes an error during the init if the key is not FIPS
- approved (e.g. The key has a security strength of less than 112 bits). Setting
- this to 0 will ignore the error and set the approved "fips-indicator" to 0.
- This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator"
- to return 0.
- .IP """sign-check"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FIPS_SIGN_CHECK\fR) <integer>" 4
- .IX Item """sign-check"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FIPS_SIGN_CHECK) <integer>"
- If required this parameter should be set before the \fBOSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen()\fR
- function. This value is not supported by all keygen algorithms.
- The default value of 1 will cause an error if the generated key is not
- allowed to be used for signing.
- Setting this to 0 will ignore the error and set the approved "fips-indicator" to 0.
- This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator"
- to return 0.
- .SH "RETURN VALUES"
