<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p><b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> 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.</p>
<p>There are two places where the <b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> 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 <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_meth_add0.html">EVP_PKEY_meth_add0(3)</a>.</p>
<p>The <b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> objects are usually referenced by <b>EVP_PKEY_CTX</b> objects.</p>
<h2 id="Methods">Methods</h2>
<p>The methods are the underlying implementations of a particular public key algorithm present by the <b>EVP_PKEY_CTX</b> object.</p>
<pre><code> int (*init) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int (*copy) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *dst, EVP_PKEY_CTX *src);
void (*cleanup) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);</code></pre>
<p>The init() method is called to initialize algorithm-specific data when a new <b>EVP_PKEY_CTX</b> is created. As opposed to init(), the cleanup() method is called when an <b>EVP_PKEY_CTX</b> is freed. The copy() method is called when an <b>EVP_PKEY_CTX</b> is being duplicated.

int (*derive) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *key, size_t *keylen);</code></pre>
<p>The derive_init() and derive() methods are used to derive the shared secret from a public key algorithm (for instance, the DH algorithm). They are called by <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_derive_init.html">EVP_PKEY_derive_init(3)</a> and <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_derive.html">EVP_PKEY_derive(3)</a>.</p>
<pre><code> int (*ctrl) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, int type, int p1, void *p2);
int (*ctrl_str) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const char *type, const char *value);</code></pre>

int (*digestverify) (EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const unsigned char *sig,
size_t siglen, const unsigned char *tbs,
size_t tbslen);</code></pre>
<p>The digestsign() and digestverify() methods are used to generate or verify a signature in a one-shot mode. They could be called by <a href="../man3/EVP_DigestSign.html">EVP_DigestSign(3)</a> and <a href="../man3/EVP_DigestVerify.html">EVP_DigestVerify(3)</a>.</p>
<pre><code> int (*check) (EVP_PKEY *pkey);
int (*public_check) (EVP_PKEY *pkey);

<pre><code> int (*digest_custom) (EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_MD_CTX *mctx);</code></pre>
<p>The digest_custom() method is used to generate customized digest content before the real message is passed to functions like <a href="../man3/EVP_DigestSignUpdate.html">EVP_DigestSignUpdate(3)</a> or <a href="../man3/EVP_DigestVerifyInit.html">EVP_DigestVerifyInit(3)</a>. This is usually required by some public key signature algorithms like SM2 which requires a hashed prefix to the message to be signed. The digest_custom() function will be called by <a href="../man3/EVP_DigestSignInit.html">EVP_DigestSignInit(3)</a> and <a href="../man3/EVP_DigestVerifyInit.html">EVP_DigestVerifyInit(3)</a>.</p>
<h2 id="Functions">Functions</h2>
<p>EVP_PKEY_meth_new() creates and returns a new <b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> object, and associates the given <b>id</b> and <b>flags</b>. The following flags are supported:</p>
<pre><code> EVP_PKEY_FLAG_AUTOARGLEN
EVP_PKEY_FLAG_SIGCTX_CUSTOM</code></pre>
<p>If an <b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> is set with the <b>EVP_PKEY_FLAG_AUTOARGLEN</b> flag, the maximum size of the output buffer will be automatically calculated or checked in corresponding EVP methods by the EVP framework. 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 <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_sign.html">EVP_PKEY_sign(3)</a>.</p>
<p>The <b>EVP_PKEY_FLAG_SIGCTX_CUSTOM</b> is used to indicate the signctx() method of an <b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> is always called by the EVP framework while doing a digest signing operation by calling <a href="../man3/EVP_DigestSignFinal.html">EVP_DigestSignFinal(3)</a>.</p>
<p>EVP_PKEY_meth_free() frees an existing <b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> pointed by <b>pmeth</b>.</p>
<p>EVP_PKEY_meth_copy() copies an <b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> object from <b>src</b> to <b>dst</b>.</p>
<p>EVP_PKEY_meth_find() finds an <b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> object with the <b>id</b>. This function first searches through the user-defined method objects and then the built-in objects.</p>
<p>EVP_PKEY_meth_add0() adds <b>pmeth</b> to the user defined stack of methods.</p>
<p>EVP_PKEY_meth_remove() removes an <b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> object added by EVP_PKEY_meth_add0().</p>
<p>The EVP_PKEY_meth_set functions set the corresponding fields of <b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> structure with the arguments passed.</p>
<p>The EVP_PKEY_meth_get functions get the corresponding fields of <b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> structure to the arguments provided.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>EVP_PKEY_meth_new() returns a pointer to a new <b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> object or returns NULL on error.</p>
<p>EVP_PKEY_meth_free() and EVP_PKEY_meth_copy() do not return values.</p>
<p>EVP_PKEY_meth_find() returns a pointer to the found <b>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</b> object or returns NULL if not found.</p>
<p>EVP_PKEY_meth_add0() returns 1 if method is added successfully or 0 if an error occurred.</p>
<p>EVP_PKEY_meth_remove() returns 1 if method is removed successfully or 0 if an error occurred.</p>
<p>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.</p>
