However, there are certain key types that need +key parameters, often called domain parameters but not necessarily limited +to that, that also need to be generated. In addition to this, the caller +may want to set user provided generation parameters that further affect key +parameter or key generation, such as the desired key size. +.PP +To flexibly allow all that's just been described, key parameter and key +generation is divided into an initialization of a key algorithm context, +functions to set user provided parameters, and finally the key parameter or +key generation function itself. +.PP +The key algorithm context must be created using \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_new\fR\|(3) or +variants thereof, see that manual for details. +.PP +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_keygen_init()\fR initializes a public key algorithm context \fIctx\fR +for a key generation operation. +.PP +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen_init()\fR is similar to \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen_init()\fR except key +parameters are generated. +.PP +After initialization, generation parameters may be provided with +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl\fR\|(3) or \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params\fR\|(3), or any other +function described in those manuals. +.PP +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_generate()\fR performs the generation operation, the resulting key +parameters or key are written to \fI*ppkey\fR. If \fI*ppkey\fR is NULL when this +function is called, it will be allocated, and should be freed by the caller +when no longer useful, using \fBEVP_PKEY_free\fR\|(3). +.PP +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen()\fR do exactly the same thing as +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_generate()\fR, after checking that the corresponding \fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen_init()\fR +or \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen_init()\fR was used to initialize \fIctx\fR. +These are older functions that are kept for backward compatibility. +It is safe to use \fBEVP_PKEY_generate()\fR instead. +.PP +The function \fBEVP_PKEY_set_cb()\fR sets the key or parameter generation callback +to \fIcb\fR. The function \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_cb()\fR returns the key or parameter +generation callback. +.PP +The function \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_keygen_info()\fR returns parameters associated +with the generation operation. If \fIidx\fR is \-1 the total number of +parameters available is returned. Any non negative value returns the value of +that parameter. \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_gen_keygen_info()\fR with a nonnegative value for +\&\fIidx\fR should only be called within the generation callback. +.PP +If the callback returns 0 then the key generation operation is aborted and an +error occurs. This might occur during a time consuming operation where +a user clicks on a "cancel" button. +.PP +The functions \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_app_data()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_app_data()\fR set +and retrieve an opaque pointer. This can be used to set some application +defined value which can be retrieved in the callback: for example a handle +which is used to update a "progress dialog". +.PP +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_Q_keygen()\fR abstracts from the explicit use of \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX\fR while +providing a 'quick' but limited way of generating a new asymmetric key pair. +It provides shorthands for simple and common cases of key generation. +As usual, the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR +can be given for fetching algorithms from providers. +If \fItype\fR is \f(CW\*(C`RSA\*(C'\fR, +a \fBsize_t\fR parameter must be given to specify the size of the RSA key. +If \fItype\fR is \f(CW\*(C`EC\*(C'\fR, +a string parameter must be given to specify the name of the EC curve. +If \fItype\fR is \f(CW\*(C`X25519\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`X448\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`ED25519\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`ED448\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`SM2\*(C'\fR +no further parameter is needed. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.IX Header "RETURN VALUES" +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_keygen_init()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen_init()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen()\fR and +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen()\fR return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure. +In particular a return value of \-2 indicates the operation is not supported by +the public key algorithm. +.PP +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_Q_keygen()\fR returns an \fBEVP_PKEY\fR, or NULL on failure. +.SH NOTES +.IX Header "NOTES" +After the call to \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen_init()\fR or \fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen_init()\fR algorithm +specific control operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters +for the operation. +.PP +The functions \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen()\fR can be called more than +once on the same context if several operations are performed using the same +parameters. +.PP +The meaning of the parameters passed to the callback will depend on the +algorithm and the specific implementation of the algorithm. Some might not +give any useful information at all during key or parameter generation. Others +might not even call the callback. +.PP +The operation performed by key or parameter generation depends on the algorithm +used. In some cases (e.g. EC with a supplied named curve) the "generation" +option merely sets the appropriate fields in an EVP_PKEY structure. +.PP +In OpenSSL an EVP_PKEY structure containing a private key also contains the +public key components and parameters (if any). An OpenSSL private key is +equivalent to what some libraries call a "key pair". A private key can be used +in functions which require the use of a public key or parameters. +.SH EXAMPLES +.IX Header "EXAMPLES" +Generate a 2048 bit RSA key: +.PP +.Vb 2 +\& #include <openssl/evp.h> +\& #include <openssl/rsa.h> +\& +\& EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx; +\& EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL; +\& +\& ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_RSA, NULL); +\& if (!ctx) +\& /* Error occurred */ +\& if (EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(ctx) <= 0) +\& /* Error */ +\& if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_bits(ctx, 2048) <= 0) +\& /* Error */ +\& +\& /* Generate key */ +\& if (EVP_PKEY_keygen(ctx, &pkey) <= 0) +\& /* Error */ +.Ve +.PP +Generate a key from a set of parameters: +.PP +.Vb 2 +\& #include <openssl/evp.h> +\& #include <openssl/rsa.h> +\& +\& EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx; +\& ENGINE *eng; +\& EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL, *param; +\& +\& /* Assumed param, eng are set up already */ +\& ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(param, eng); +\& if (!ctx) +\& /* Error occurred */ +\& if (EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(ctx) <= 0) +\& /* Error */ +\& +\& /* Generate key */ +\& if (EVP_PKEY_keygen(ctx, &pkey) <= 0) +\& /* Error */ +.Ve +.PP +Example of generation callback for OpenSSL public key implementations: +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& /* Application data is a BIO to output status to */ +\& +\& EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_app_data(ctx, status_bio); +\& +\& static int genpkey_cb(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx) +\& { +\& char c = \*(Aq*\*(Aq; +\& BIO *b = EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_app_data(ctx); +\& int p = EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_keygen_info(ctx, 0); +\& +\& if (p == 0) +\& c = \*(Aq.\*(Aq; +\& if (p == 1) +\& c = \*(Aq+\*(Aq; +\& if (p == 2) +\& c = \*(Aq*\*(Aq; +\& if (p == 3) +\& c = \*(Aq\en\*(Aq; +\& BIO_write(b, &c, 1); +\& (void)BIO_flush(b); +\& return 1; +\& } +.Ve +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +\&\fBEVP_RSA_gen\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_EC_gen\fR\|(3), +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_new\fR\|(3), +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_encrypt\fR\|(3), +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt\fR\|(3), +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_sign\fR\|(3), +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify\fR\|(3), +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover\fR\|(3), +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_derive\fR\|(3) +.SH HISTORY +.IX Header "HISTORY" +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_keygen_init()\fR, int \fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen_init()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen()\fR, +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_gen_cb()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_cb()\fR, +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_cb()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_keygen_info()\fR, +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_app_data()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_app_data()\fR were added in +OpenSSL 1.0.0. +.PP +\&\fBEVP_PKEY_Q_keygen()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_generate()\fR were added in OpenSSL 3.0. +.SH COPYRIGHT +.IX Header "COPYRIGHT" +Copyright 2006\-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
