Either the private key material, the public key material or the domain parameters can be selected. .IP """format=der""" 4 .IX Item """format=der""" .PD 0 .IP """format=pem""" 4 .IX Item """format=pem""" .IP """format=text""" 4 .IX Item """format=text""" .PD .PP These may be used in a property query string with fetching functions to select the encoding output format. Either the DER, PEM and plaintext are currently permitted. .SH "OPERATIONS AND ALGORITHMS" .IX Header "OPERATIONS AND ALGORITHMS" The OpenSSL base provider supports these operations and algorithms: .SS "Random Number Generation" .IX Subsection "Random Number Generation" .IP "SEED-SRC, see \fBEVP_RAND\-SEED\-SRC\fR\|(7)" 4 .IX Item "SEED-SRC, see EVP_RAND-SEED-SRC" .PP In addition to this provider, the "SEED-SRC" algorithm is also available in the default provider. .SS "Asymmetric Key Encoder" .IX Subsection "Asymmetric Key Encoder" .IP RSA 4 .IX Item "RSA" .PD 0 .IP RSA-PSS 4 .IX Item "RSA-PSS" .IP DH 4 .IX Item "DH" .IP DHX 4 .IX Item "DHX" .IP DSA 4 .IX Item "DSA" .IP EC 4 .IX Item "EC" .IP ED25519 4 .IX Item "ED25519" .IP ED448 4 .IX Item "ED448" .IP X25519 4 .IX Item "X25519" .IP X448 4 .IX Item "X448" .IP SM2 4 .IX Item "SM2" .PD .PP In addition to this provider, all of these encoding algorithms are also available in the default provider.
