=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 (*priv_print) (BIO *out, const EVP_PKEY *pkey, int indent,
                    ASN1_PCTX *pctx);

The priv_decode() and priv_encode() methods are called to decode /
encode B<PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO> form private key to / from B<pk>.
They MUST return 0 on error, 1 on success.
They're called by L<EVP_PKCS82PKEY(3)> and L<EVP_PKEY2PKCS8(3)>.

The priv_print() method is called to print a private key in humanly
readable text to B<out>, indented B<indent> spaces.
It MUST return 0 on error, 1 on success.
It's called by L<EVP_PKEY_print_private(3)>.

 int (*pkey_size) (const EVP_PKEY *pk);
 int (*pkey_bits) (const EVP_PKEY *pk);
 int (*pkey_security_bits) (const EVP_PKEY *pk);

The pkey_size() method returns the key size in bytes.
It's called by L<EVP_PKEY_size(3)>.

The pkey_bits() method returns the key size in bits.
It's called by L<EVP_PKEY_bits(3)>.

 int (*param_decode) (EVP_PKEY *pkey,
                      const unsigned char **pder, int derlen);
 int (*param_encode) (const EVP_PKEY *pkey, unsigned char **pder);
 int (*param_missing) (const EVP_PKEY *pk);
 int (*param_copy) (EVP_PKEY *to, const EVP_PKEY *from);
 int (*param_cmp) (const EVP_PKEY *a, const EVP_PKEY *b);
 int (*param_print) (BIO *out, const EVP_PKEY *pkey, int indent,
                     ASN1_PCTX *pctx);

The param_decode() and param_encode() methods are called to decode /
encode DER formatted parameters to / from B<pk>.
They MUST return 0 on error, 1 on success.
They're called by L<PEM_read_bio_Parameters(3)> and the B<file:>
L<OSSL_STORE_LOADER(3)>.

The param_missing() method returns 0 if a key parameter is missing,
otherwise 1.
It's called by L<EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters(3)>.

The param_copy() method copies key parameters from B<from> to B<to>.
It MUST return 0 on error, 1 on success.
It's called by L<EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters(3)>.

The param_cmp() method compares the parameters of keys B<a> and B<b>.
It MUST return 1 when the keys are equal, 0 when not equal, or a
negative number on error.
It's called by L<EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters(3)>.

The param_print() method prints the private key parameters in humanly
readable text to B<out>, indented B<indent> spaces.
It MUST return 0 on error, 1 on success.
It's called by L<EVP_PKEY_print_params(3)>.

 int (*sig_print) (BIO *out,
                   const X509_ALGOR *sigalg, const ASN1_STRING *sig,
                   int indent, ASN1_PCTX *pctx);

The sig_print() method prints a signature in humanly readable text to
B<out>, indented B<indent> spaces.
B<sigalg> contains the exact signature algorithm.
If the signature in B<sig> doesn't correspond to what this method
expects, X509_signature_dump() must be used as a last resort.
It MUST return 0 on error, 1 on success.
It's called by L<X509_signature_print(3)>.

 void (*pkey_free) (EVP_PKEY *pkey);

The pkey_free() method helps freeing the internals of B<pkey>.
It's called by L<EVP_PKEY_free(3)>, L<EVP_PKEY_set_type(3)>,
L<EVP_PKEY_set_type_str(3)>, and L<EVP_PKEY_assign(3)>.

 int (*pkey_ctrl) (EVP_PKEY *pkey, int op, long arg1, void *arg2);

The pkey_ctrl() method adds extra algorithm specific control.
It's called by L<EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid(3)>,
L<EVP_PKEY_set1_tls_encodedpoint(3)>,
L<EVP_PKEY_get1_tls_encodedpoint(3)>, L<PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO_set(3)>,
L<PKCS7_RECIP_INFO_set(3)>, ...

 int (*old_priv_decode) (EVP_PKEY *pkey,
                         const unsigned char **pder, int derlen);
 int (*old_priv_encode) (const EVP_PKEY *pkey, unsigned char **pder);

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,
                     X509_ALGOR *a, ASN1_BIT_STRING *sig, EVP_PKEY *pkey);
 int (*item_sign) (EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const ASN1_ITEM *it, void *asn,
                   X509_ALGOR *alg1, X509_ALGOR *alg2,
                   ASN1_BIT_STRING *sig);

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:

=over 4

=item <=0

error

=item Z<>1

item_sign() did everything, OpenSSL internals just needs to pass the
signature length back.

=item Z<>2

item_sign() did nothing, OpenSSL internal standard routines are
expected to continue with the default signature production.

=item Z<>3

item_sign() set the algorithm identifier B<algor1> and B<algor2>,
OpenSSL internals should just sign using those algorithms.

=back

item_verify() MUST return one of:

=over 4

=item <=0

error

=item Z<>1

item_sign() did everything, OpenSSL internals just needs to pass the
signature length back.

=item Z<>2

item_sign() did nothing, OpenSSL internal standard routines are
expected to continue with the default signature production.

item_verify() and item_sign() are called by L<ASN1_item_verify(3)> and
L<ASN1_item_sign(3)>, and by extension, L<X509_verify(3)>,
L<X509_REQ_verify(3)>, L<X509_sign(3)>, L<X509_REQ_sign(3)>, ...

=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.
