7 - key and parameter validation functions

13 int EVP_PKEY_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
14 int EVP_PKEY_param_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
15 int EVP_PKEY_public_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
16 int EVP_PKEY_private_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
17 int EVP_PKEY_pairwise_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
21 EVP_PKEY_param_check() validates the parameters component of the key
24 EVP_PKEY_public_check() validates the public component of the key given by B<ctx>.
26 EVP_PKEY_private_check() validates the private component of the key given by B<ctx>.
28 EVP_PKEY_pairwise_check() validates that the public and private components have
29 the correct mathematical relationship to each other for the key given by B<ctx>.
31 EVP_PKEY_check() validates all components of a key given by B<ctx>.
35 Refer to SP800-56A and SP800-56B for rules relating to when these functions
36 should be called during key establishment.
37 It is not necessary to call these functions after locally calling an approved key
38 generation method, but may be required for assurance purposes when receiving
39 keys from a third party.
41 In OpenSSL an EVP_PKEY structure containing a private key also contains the
42 public key components and parameters (if any). An OpenSSL private key is
43 equivalent to what some libraries call a "key pair". A private key can be used
44 in functions which require the use of a public key or parameters.
48 All functions return 1 for success or others for failure.
49 They return -2 if the operation is not supported for the specific algorithm.
