+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> is a structure which holds a set of ASN.1
+conversion, printing and information methods for a specific public key
+algorithm.
+
+There are two places where the B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> objects are
+stored: one is a built-in array representing the standard methods for
+different algorithms, and the other one is a stack of user-defined
+application-specific methods, which can be manipulated by using
+L<EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0(3)>.
+
+=head2 Methods
+
+The methods are the underlying implementations of a particular public
+key algorithm present by the B<EVP_PKEY> object.

+ int indent, ASN1_PCTX *pctx);
+
+The sig_print() method prints a signature in humanly readable text to
+B<out>, indented B<indent> spaces.

+
+The old_priv_decode() and old_priv_encode() methods decode / encode
+they private key B<pkey> from / to a DER formatted array.
+These are exclusively used to help decoding / encoding older (pre
+PKCS#8) PEM formatted encrypted private keys.
+old_priv_decode() MUST return 0 on error, 1 on success.
+old_priv_encode() MUST the return same kind of values as
+i2d_PrivateKey().
+They're called by L<d2i_PrivateKey(3)> and L<i2d_PrivateKey(3)>.
+
+ int (*item_verify) (EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const ASN1_ITEM *it, void *asn,

+
+The item_sign() and item_verify() methods make it possible to have
+algorithm specific signatures and verification of them.
+
+item_sign() MUST return one of:
+

+=head2 Functions
+
+EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() creates and returns a new B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD>
+object, and associates the given B<id>, B<flags>, B<pem_str> and
+B<info>.
+B<id> is a NID, B<pem_str> is the PEM type string, B<info> is a
+descriptive string.
+The following B<flags> are supported:
+
+ ASN1_PKEY_SIGPARAM_NULL
+
+If B<ASN1_PKEY_SIGPARAM_NULL> is set, then the signature algorithm
+parameters are given the type B<V_ASN1_NULL> by default, otherwise
+they will be given the type B<V_ASN1_UNDEF> (i.e. the parameter is
+omitted).
+See L<X509_ALGOR_set0(3)> for more information.
+
+EVP_PKEY_asn1_copy() copies an B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> object from
+B<src> to B<dst>.
+This function is not thread safe, it's recommended to only use this
+when initializing the application.
+
+EVP_PKEY_asn1_free() frees an existing B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> pointed
+by B<ameth>.
+
+EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0() adds B<ameth> to the user defined stack of
+methods unless another B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> with the same NID is
+already there.
+This function is not thread safe, it's recommended to only use this
+when initializing the application.
+
+EVP_PKEY_asn1_add_alias() creates an alias with the NID B<to> for the
+B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> with NID B<from> unless another
+B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> with the same NID is already added.
+This function is not thread safe, it's recommended to only use this
+when initializing the application.
+
+EVP_PKEY_asn1_set_public(), EVP_PKEY_asn1_set_private(),
+EVP_PKEY_asn1_set_param(), EVP_PKEY_asn1_set_free(),
+EVP_PKEY_asn1_set_ctrl(), EVP_PKEY_asn1_set_item(), and
+EVP_PKEY_asn1_set_security_bits() set the diverse methods of the given
+B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> object.
+
+EVP_PKEY_get0_asn1() finds the B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> associated
+with the key B<pkey>.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() returns NULL on error, or a pointer to an
+B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> object otherwise.
+
+EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0() and EVP_PKEY_asn1_add_alias() return 0 on error,
+or 1 on success.
+
+EVP_PKEY_get0_asn1() returns NULL on error, or a pointer to a constant
+B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> object otherwise.
