.SH NAME
X25519,
X448
\&\- EVP_PKEY X25519 and X448 support
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBX25519\fR and \fBX448\fR EVP_PKEY implementation supports key generation and
key derivation using \fBX25519\fR and \fBX448\fR. It has associated private and public
key formats compatible with RFC 8410.
.PP
No additional parameters can be set during key generation.
.PP
The peer public key must be set using \fBEVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer()\fR when
performing key derivation.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
A context for the \fBX25519\fR algorithm can be obtained by calling:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_X25519, NULL);
.Ve
.PP
For the \fBX448\fR algorithm a context can be obtained by calling:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_X448, NULL);
.Ve
.PP
X25519 or X448 private keys can be set directly using
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key\fR\|(3) or loaded from a PKCS#8 private key file
using \fBPEM_read_bio_PrivateKey\fR\|(3) (or similar function). Completely new keys
can also be generated (see the example below). Setting a private key also sets
the associated public key.
.PP
X25519 or X448 public keys can be set directly using
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_public_key\fR\|(3) or loaded from a SubjectPublicKeyInfo
structure in a PEM file using \fBPEM_read_bio_PUBKEY\fR\|(3) (or similar function).
.SH EXAMPLES
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
This example generates an \fBX25519\fR private key and writes it to standard
output in PEM format:
.PP
.Vb 9
\& #include <openssl/evp.h>
\& #include <openssl/pem.h>
\& ...
\& EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
\& EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_X25519, NULL);
\& EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(pctx);
\& EVP_PKEY_keygen(pctx, &pkey);
\& EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx);
\& PEM_write_PrivateKey(stdout, pkey, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);
.Ve
.PP
The key derivation example in \fBEVP_PKEY_derive\fR\|(3) can be used with
\&\fBX25519\fR and \fBX448\fR.
