<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. Refer to <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_CTX_new.html">EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id.html">EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_CTX_free.html">EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(3)</a> and <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup.html">EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup(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>

<p>The ctrl() and ctrl_str() methods are used to adjust algorithm-specific settings. See <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl.html">EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl(3)</a> and related functions for details.</p>

<pre><code> int (*digestsign) (EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *sig, size_t *siglen,

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&#39;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 &#39;get&#39; functions, function pointers are returned by arguments.</p>
