.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
All functions described here are deprecated.  Please use \fBOSSL_DECODER\fR\|(3)
instead of the \fBd2i\fR functions and \fBOSSL_ENCODER\fR\|(3) instead of the \fBi2d\fR
functions.  See "Migration" below.
.PP
In the description here, \fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fR is used a placeholder for any of the
OpenSSL datatypes, such as \fBRSA\fR.
The function parameters \fIppin\fR and \fIppout\fR are generally either both named
\&\fIpp\fR in the headers, or \fIin\fR and \fIout\fR.
.PP
All the functions here behave the way that's described in \fBd2i_X509\fR\|(3).
.PP
Please note that not all functions in the synopsis are available for all key
types.  For example, there are no \fBd2i_RSAparams()\fR or \fBi2d_RSAparams()\fR,
because the PKCS#1 \fBRSA\fR structure doesn't include any key parameters.
.PP
\&\fBd2i_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fBPrivateKey\fR() and derivates thereof decode DER encoded
\&\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fR private key data organized in a type specific structure.
.PP
\&\fBd2i_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fBPublicKey\fR() and derivates thereof decode DER encoded
\&\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fR public key data organized in a type specific structure.
.PP
\&\fBd2i_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fBparams\fR() and derivates thereof decode DER encoded \fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fR
key parameters organized in a type specific structure.
.PP
\&\fBd2i_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB_PUBKEY\fR() and derivates thereof decode DER encoded \fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fR
public key data organized in a \fBSubjectPublicKeyInfo\fR structure.
.PP
\&\fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fBPrivateKey\fR() and derivates thereof encode the private key
\&\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fR data into a type specific DER encoded structure.
.PP
\&\fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fBPublicKey\fR() and derivates thereof encode the public key
\&\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fR data into a type specific DER encoded structure.
.PP
\&\fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fBparams\fR() and derivates thereof encode the \fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fR key
parameters data into a type specific DER encoded structure.
.PP
\&\fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB_PUBKEY\fR() and derivates thereof encode the public key
\&\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fR data into a DER encoded \fBSubjectPublicKeyInfo\fR structure.
.PP
For example, \fBd2i_RSAPrivateKey()\fR and \fBd2i_RSAPublicKey()\fR expects the
structure defined by PKCS#1.
Similarly, \fBi2d_RSAPrivateKey()\fR and  \fBi2d_RSAPublicKey()\fR produce DER encoded
string organized according to PKCS#1.
.SS Migration
.IX Subsection "Migration"
Migration from the diverse \fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fRs requires using corresponding new
OpenSSL types.  For all \fB\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fRs described here, the corresponding new
type is \fBEVP_PKEY\fR.  The rest of this section assumes that this has been
done, exactly how to do that is described elsewhere.
.PP
There are two migration paths:
.IP \(bu 4
Replace
b<d2i_\fITYPE\fR\fBPrivateKey()\fR> with \fBd2i_PrivateKey\fR\|(3),
b<d2i_\fITYPE\fR\fBPublicKey()\fR> with \fBd2i_PublicKey\fR\|(3),
b<d2i_\fITYPE\fR\fBparams()\fR> with \fBd2i_KeyParams\fR\|(3),
b<d2i_\fITYPE\fR\fB_PUBKEY()\fR> with \fBd2i_PUBKEY\fR\|(3),
b<i2d_\fITYPE\fR\fBPrivateKey()\fR> with \fBi2d_PrivateKey\fR\|(3),
b<i2d_\fITYPE\fR\fBPublicKey()\fR> with \fBi2d_PublicKey\fR\|(3),
b<i2d_\fITYPE\fR\fBparams()\fR> with \fBi2d_KeyParams\fR\|(3),
b<i2d_\fITYPE\fR\fB_PUBKEY()\fR> with \fBi2d_PUBKEY\fR\|(3).
A caveat is that \fBi2d_PrivateKey\fR\|(3) may output a DER encoded PKCS#8
outermost structure instead of the type specific structure, and that
\&\fBd2i_PrivateKey\fR\|(3) recognises and unpacks a PKCS#8 structures.
.IP \(bu 4
Use \fBOSSL_DECODER\fR\|(3) and \fBOSSL_ENCODER\fR\|(3).  How to migrate is described
below.  All those descriptions assume that the key to be encoded is in the
variable \fIpkey\fR.
.PP
\fIMigrating \fR\f(BIi2d\fR\fI functions to \fR\f(BIOSSL_ENCODER\fR
.IX Subsection "Migrating i2d functions to OSSL_ENCODER"
.PP
The exact \fBOSSL_ENCODER\fR\|(3) output is driven by arguments rather than by
function names.  The sample code to get DER encoded output in a type
specific structure is uniform, the only things that vary are the selection
of what part of the \fBEVP_PKEY\fR should be output, and the structure.  The
\&\fBi2d\fR functions names can therefore be translated into two variables,
\&\fIselection\fR and \fIstructure\fR as follows:
.IP "\fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fBPrivateKey\fR() translates into:" 4
.IX Item "i2d_TYPEPrivateKey() translates into:"
.Vb 2
\& int selection = EVP_PKEY_KEYPAIR;
\& const char *structure = "type\-specific";
.Ve
.IP "\fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fBPublicKey\fR() translates into:" 4
.IX Item "i2d_TYPEPublicKey() translates into:"
.Vb 2
\& int selection = EVP_PKEY_PUBLIC_KEY;
\& const char *structure = "type\-specific";
.Ve
.IP "\fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fBparams\fR() translates into:" 4
.IX Item "i2d_TYPEparams() translates into:"
.Vb 2
\& int selection = EVP_PKEY_PARAMETERS;
\& const char *structure = "type\-specific";
.Ve
.IP "\fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB_PUBKEY\fR() translates into:" 4
.IX Item "i2d_TYPE_PUBKEY() translates into:"
.Vb 2
\& int selection = EVP_PKEY_PUBLIC_KEY;
\& const char *structure = "SubjectPublicKeyInfo";
.Ve
.PP
The following sample code does the rest of the work:
.PP
.Vb 10
\& unsigned char *p = buffer;     /* |buffer| is supplied by the caller */
\& size_t len = buffer_size;      /* assumed be the size of |buffer| */
\& OSSL_ENCODER_CTX *ctx =
\&     OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_new_for_pkey(pkey, selection, "DER", structure,
\&                                   NULL, NULL);
\& if (ctx == NULL) {
\&     /* fatal error handling */
\& }
\& if (OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_get_num_encoders(ctx) == 0) {
\&     OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_free(ctx);
\&     /* non\-fatal error handling */
\& }
\& if (!OSSL_ENCODER_to_data(ctx, &p, &len)) {
\&     OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_free(ctx);
\&     /* error handling */
\& }
\& OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_free(ctx);
.Ve
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
The letters \fBi\fR and \fBd\fR in \fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR() stand for
"internal" (that is, an internal C structure) and "DER" respectively.
So \fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fR() converts from internal to DER.
.PP
The functions can also understand \fBBER\fR forms.
.PP
The actual TYPE structure passed to \fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR() must be a valid
populated \fB\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fR structure \-\- it \fBcannot\fR simply be fed with an
empty structure such as that returned by \fBTYPE_new()\fR.
.PP
The encoded data is in binary form and may contain embedded zeros.
Therefore, any FILE pointers or BIOs should be opened in binary mode.
Functions such as \fBstrlen()\fR will \fBnot\fR return the correct length
of the encoded structure.
.PP
The ways that \fI*ppin\fR and \fI*ppout\fR are incremented after the operation
can trap the unwary. See the \fBWARNINGS\fR section in \fBd2i_X509\fR\|(3) for some
common errors.
The reason for this-auto increment behaviour is to reflect a typical
usage of ASN1 functions: after one structure is encoded or decoded
another will be processed after it.
.PP
The following points about the data types might be useful:
.IP \fBDSA_PUBKEY\fR 4
.IX Item "DSA_PUBKEY"
Represents a DSA public key using a \fBSubjectPublicKeyInfo\fR structure.
.IP "\fBDSAPublicKey\fR, \fBDSAPrivateKey\fR" 4
.IX Item "DSAPublicKey, DSAPrivateKey"
Use a non-standard OpenSSL format and should be avoided; use \fBDSA_PUBKEY\fR,
\&\fBPEM_write_PrivateKey\fR\|(3), or similar instead.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBd2i_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR(), \fBd2i_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB_bio\fR() and \fBd2i_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB_fp\fR() return a valid
\&\fB\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB\fR structure or NULL if an error occurs.  If the "reuse" capability has
been used with a valid structure being passed in via \fIa\fR, then the object is
freed in the event of error and \fI*a\fR is set to NULL.
.PP
\&\fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR() returns the number of bytes successfully encoded or a negative
value if an error occurs.
.PP
\&\fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB_bio\fR() and \fBi2d_\fR\f(BITYPE\fR\fB_fp\fR() return 1 for success and 0 if an
error occurs.
