.Ve .SH "DESCRIPTION" .IX Header "DESCRIPTION" \&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR is a structure which holds a set of methods for a specific public key cryptographic algorithm. Those methods are usually used to perform different jobs, such as generating a key, signing or verifying, encrypting or decrypting, etc. .PP There are two places where the \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR objects are stored: one is a built-in static 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 \fBEVP_PKEY_meth_add0\fR\|(3). .PP The \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR objects are usually referenced by \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0\fR objects. .SS "Methods" .IX Subsection "Methods" The methods are the underlying implementations of a particular public key algorithm present by the \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0\fR object. .PP .Vb 3 \& int (*init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); \& int (*copy) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *dst, EVP_PKEY_CTX *src); \& void (*cleanup) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); .Ve .PP The \fBinit()\fR method is called to initialize algorithm-specific data when a new \&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0\fR is created.

Thus the implementations of these methods don't need to care about handling the case of returning output buffer size by themselves. For details on the output buffer size, refer to \&\fBEVP_PKEY_sign\fR\|(3). .PP The \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_FLAG_SIGCTX_CUSTOM\s0\fR is used to indicate the \fBsignctx()\fR method of an \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR is always called by the \s-1EVP\s0 framework while doing a digest signing operation by calling \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal\fR\|(3). .PP \&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_free()\fR frees an existing \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR pointed by \&\fBpmeth\fR. .PP \&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_copy()\fR copies an \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR object from \fBsrc\fR to \fBdst\fR. .PP \&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_find()\fR finds an \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR object with the \fBid\fR. This function first searches through the user-defined method objects and then the built-in objects. .PP \&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_add0()\fR adds \fBpmeth\fR to the user defined stack of methods. .PP The EVP_PKEY_meth_set functions set the corresponding fields of \&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR structure with the arguments passed. .PP The EVP_PKEY_meth_get functions get the corresponding fields of \&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR structure to the arguments provided. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_new()\fR returns a pointer to a new \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR object or returns \s-1NULL\s0 on error. .PP \&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_free()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_meth_copy()\fR do not return values. .PP \&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_find()\fR returns a pointer to the found \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_METHOD\s0\fR object or returns \s-1NULL\s0 if not found. .PP \&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_add0()\fR returns 1 if method is added successfully or 0 if an error occurred. .PP All EVP_PKEY_meth_set and EVP_PKEY_meth_get functions have no return values. For the 'get' functions, function pointers are returned by arguments. .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2017 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
