This includes but is +not limited to deserialization as individual decoders can also do +decoding into intermediate data formats.\fR +.PP +The DECODER operation is a generic method to create a provider-native +object reference or intermediate decoded data from an encoded form +read from the given \fBOSSL_CORE_BIO\fR. If the caller wants to decode +data from memory, it should provide a \fBBIO_s_mem\fR\|(3) \fBBIO\fR. The decoded +data or object reference is passed along with eventual metadata +to the \fImetadata_cb\fR as \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) parameters. +.PP +The decoder doesn't need to know more about the \fBOSSL_CORE_BIO\fR +pointer than being able to pass it to the appropriate BIO upcalls (see +"Core functions" in \fBprovider\-base\fR\|(7)). +.PP +The DECODER implementation may be part of a chain, where data is +passed from one to the next. For example, there may be an +implementation to decode an object from PEM to DER, and another one +that decodes DER to a provider-native object. +.PP +The last decoding step in the decoding chain is usually supposed to create +a provider-native object referenced by an object reference. To import +that object into a different provider the \fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_export_object()\fR +can be called as the final step of the decoding process. +.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 an \fBOSSL_DISPATCH\fR\|(3) element named +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_{name}\fR. +For example, the "function" \fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_decode()\fR has these: +.PP +.Vb 7 +\& typedef int +\& (OSSL_FUNC_decoder_decode_fn)(void *ctx, OSSL_CORE_BIO *in, +\& int selection, +\& OSSL_CALLBACK *data_cb, void *data_cbarg, +\& OSSL_PASSPHRASE_CALLBACK *cb, void *cbarg); +\& static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_decoder_decode_fn* +\& OSSL_FUNC_decoder_decode(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: +.PP +.Vb 2 +\& OSSL_FUNC_decoder_get_params OSSL_FUNC_DECODER_GET_PARAMS +\& OSSL_FUNC_decoder_gettable_params OSSL_FUNC_DECODER_GETTABLE_PARAMS +\& +\& OSSL_FUNC_decoder_newctx OSSL_FUNC_DECODER_NEWCTX +\& OSSL_FUNC_decoder_freectx OSSL_FUNC_DECODER_FREECTX +\& OSSL_FUNC_decoder_set_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_DECODER_SET_CTX_PARAMS +\& OSSL_FUNC_decoder_settable_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_DECODER_SETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS +\& +\& OSSL_FUNC_decoder_does_selection OSSL_FUNC_DECODER_DOES_SELECTION +\& +\& OSSL_FUNC_decoder_decode OSSL_FUNC_DECODER_DECODE +\& +\& OSSL_FUNC_decoder_export_object OSSL_FUNC_DECODER_EXPORT_OBJECT +.Ve +.SS "Names and properties" +.IX Subsection "Names and properties" +The name of an implementation should match the target type of object +it decodes. For example, an implementation that decodes an RSA key +should be named "RSA". Likewise, an implementation that decodes DER data +from PEM input should be named "DER". +.PP +Properties can be used to further specify details about an implementation: +.IP input 4 +.IX Item "input" +This property is used to specify what format of input the implementation +can decode. +.Sp +This property is \fImandatory\fR. +.Sp +OpenSSL providers recognize the following input types: +.RS 4 +.IP pem 4 +.IX Item "pem" +An implementation with that input type decodes PEM formatted data. +.IP der 4 +.IX Item "der" +An implementation with that input type decodes DER formatted data. +.IP msblob 4 +.IX Item "msblob" +An implementation with that input type decodes MSBLOB formatted data. +.IP pvk 4 +.IX Item "pvk" +An implementation with that input type decodes PVK formatted data. +.RE +.RS 4 +.RE +.IP structure 4 +.IX Item "structure" +This property is used to specify the structure that the decoded data is +expected to have. +.Sp +This property is \fIoptional\fR. +.Sp +Structures currently recognised by built-in decoders: +.RS 4 +.IP """type-specific""" 4 +.IX Item """type-specific""" +Type specific structure. +.IP """pkcs8""" 4 +.IX Item """pkcs8""" +Structure according to the PKCS#8 specification. +.IP """SubjectPublicKeyInfo""" 4 +.IX Item """SubjectPublicKeyInfo""" +Encoding of public keys according to the Subject Public Key Info of RFC 5280. +.RE +.RS 4 +.RE +.PP +The possible values of both these properties is open ended. A provider may +very well specify input types and structures that libcrypto doesn't know +anything about. +.SS "Subset selections" +.IX Subsection "Subset selections" +Sometimes, an object has more than one subset of data that is interesting to +treat separately or together. It's possible to specify what subsets are to +be decoded, with a set of bits \fIselection\fR that are passed in an \fBint\fR. +.PP +This set of bits depend entirely on what kind of provider-side object is +to be decoded. For example, those bits are assumed to be the same as those +used with \fBprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7) (see "Key Objects" in \fBprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7)) when +the object is an asymmetric keypair \- e.g., \fBOSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PRIVATE_KEY\fR +if the object to be decoded is supposed to contain private key components. +.PP +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_does_selection()\fR should tell if a particular implementation +supports any of the combinations given by \fIselection\fR. +.SS "Context functions" +.IX Subsection "Context functions" +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_newctx()\fR returns a context to be used with the rest of +the functions. +.PP +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_freectx()\fR frees the given \fIctx\fR as created by +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_newctx()\fR. +.PP +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_set_ctx_params()\fR sets context data according to parameters +from \fIparams\fR that it recognises. Unrecognised parameters should be +ignored. +Passing NULL for \fIparams\fR should return true. +.PP +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_settable_ctx_params()\fR returns a constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) +array describing the parameters that \fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_set_ctx_params()\fR +can handle. +.PP +See \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) for further details on the parameters structure used by +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_set_ctx_params()\fR and \fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_settable_ctx_params()\fR. +.SS "Export function" +.IX Subsection "Export function" +When a provider-native object is created by a decoder it would be unsuitable +for direct use with a foreign provider. The export function allows for +exporting the object into that foreign provider if the foreign provider +supports the type of the object and provides an import function. +.PP +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_export_object()\fR should export the object of size \fIobjref_sz\fR +referenced by \fIobjref\fR as an \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array and pass that into the +\&\fIexport_cb\fR as well as the given \fIexport_cbarg\fR. +.SS "Decoding functions" +.IX Subsection "Decoding functions" +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_decode()\fR should decode the data as read from +the \fBOSSL_CORE_BIO\fR \fIin\fR to produce decoded data or an object to be +passed as reference in an \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array along with possible other +metadata that was decoded from the input. This \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array is +then passed to the \fIdata_cb\fR callback. The \fIselection\fR bits, +if relevant, should determine what the input data should contain. +The decoding functions also take an \fBOSSL_PASSPHRASE_CALLBACK\fR\|(3) function +pointer along with a pointer to application data \fIcbarg\fR, which should be +used when a pass phrase prompt is needed. +.PP +It's important to understand that the return value from this function is +interpreted as follows: +.IP "True (1)" 4 +.IX Item "True (1)" +This means "carry on the decoding process", and is meaningful even though +this function couldn't decode the input into anything, because there may be +another decoder implementation that can decode it into something. +.Sp +The \fIdata_cb\fR callback should never be called when this function can't +decode the input into anything. +.IP "False (0)" 4 +.IX Item "False (0)" +This means "stop the decoding process", and is meaningful when the input +could be decoded into some sort of object that this function understands, +but further treatment of that object results into errors that won't be +possible for some other decoder implementation to get a different result. +.PP +The conditions to stop the decoding process are at the discretion of the +implementation. +.SS "Decoder operation parameters" +.IX Subsection "Decoder operation parameters" +There are currently no operation parameters currently recognised by the +built-in decoders. +.PP +Parameters currently recognised by the built-in pass phrase callback: +.IP """info"" (\fBOSSL_PASSPHRASE_PARAM_INFO\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4 +.IX Item """info"" (OSSL_PASSPHRASE_PARAM_INFO) <UTF8 string>" +A string of information that will become part of the pass phrase +prompt. This could be used to give the user information on what kind +of object it's being prompted for. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.IX Header "RETURN VALUES" +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_newctx()\fR returns a pointer to a context, or NULL on +failure. +.PP +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_set_ctx_params()\fR returns 1, unless a recognised +parameter was invalid or caused an error, for which 0 is returned. +.PP +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_settable_ctx_params()\fR returns a pointer to an array of +constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) elements. +.PP +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_does_selection()\fR returns 1 if the decoder implementation +supports any of the \fIselection\fR bits, otherwise 0. +.PP +\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_decoder_decode()\fR returns 1 to signal that the decoding process +should continue, or 0 to signal that it should stop. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +\&\fBprovider\fR\|(7) +.SH HISTORY +.IX Header "HISTORY" +The DECODER interface was introduced in OpenSSL 3.0. +.SH COPYRIGHT +.IX Header "COPYRIGHT" +Copyright 2019\-2023 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
