NAME

EVP_PKEY_gettable_params, EVP_PKEY_get_int_param, EVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param, EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param, EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param, EVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param - retrieve key parameters from a key

SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 const OSSL_PARAM *EVP_PKEY_gettable_params(EVP_PKEY *pkey);
 int EVP_PKEY_get_int_param(EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *key_name, int *out);
 int EVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param(EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *key_name, size_t *out);
 int EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param(EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *key_name, BIGNUM **bn);
 int EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param(EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *key_name,
                                    char *str, size_t max_buf_sz, size_t *out_sz);
 int EVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param(EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *key_name,
                                    unsigned char *buf, size_t max_buf_sz,
                                    size_t *out_sz);

DESCRIPTION

EVP_PKEY_gettable_params() returns a constant list of params indicating the names and types of key parameters that can be retrieved. See NOTES

These functions only work for EVP_PKEYs that contain a provider side key.

RETURN VALUES

EVP_PKEY_gettable_params() returns NULL on error or if it is not supported,

All other methods return 1 if a value associated with the key's key_name was successfully returned, or 0 if there was an error. An error may be returned by methods EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param() and EVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param() if max_buf_sz is not big enough to hold the value.

EXAMPLES

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 char *curve_name[64];
 unsigned char pub[256];
 BIGNUM *bn_priv = NULL;

 /*
  * NB: assumes 'key' is set up before the next step. In this example the key
  * is an EC key.
  */

 if (!EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param(key, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_NAME,
                                     curve_name, sizeof(curve_name), &len)) {
   /* Error */
 }
 if (!EVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param(key, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PUB_KEY,
                                      pub, sizeof(pub), &len)) {
     /* Error */
 }
 if (!EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param(key, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PRIV_KEY, &bn_priv)) {
     /* Error */
 }


 BN_clear_free(bn_priv);
