37 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | ||
38 | |||
39 | The function EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl() sends a control operation to the context | ||
40 | B<ctx>. The key type used must match B<keytype> if it is not -1. The parameter | ||
41 | B<optype> is a mask indicating which operations the control can be applied to. | ||
42 | The control command is indicated in B<cmd> and any additional arguments in | ||
43 | B<p1> and B<p2>. | ||
44 | |||
45 | Applications will not normally call EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl() directly but will | ||
46 | instead call one of the algorithm specific macros below. | ||
47 | |||
48 | The function EVP_PKEY_ctrl_str() allows an application to send an algorithm | ||
49 | specific control operation to a context B<ctx> in string form. This is | ||
50 | intended to be used for options specified on the command line or in text | ||
51 | files. The commands supported are documented in the openssl utility | ||
52 | command line pages for the option B<-pkeyopt> which is supported by the | ||
53 | B<pkeyutl>, B<genpkey> and B<req> commands. | ||
54 | |||
55 | All the remaining "functions" are implemented as macros. | ||
56 | |||
57 | The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_signature_md() macro sets the message digest type used | ||
58 | in a signature. It can be used with any public key algorithm supporting | ||
59 | signature operations. | ||
60 | |||
61 | The macro EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_padding() sets the RSA padding mode for B<ctx>. | ||
62 | The B<pad> parameter can take the value RSA_PKCS1_PADDING for PKCS#1 padding, | ||
63 | RSA_SSLV23_PADDING for SSLv23 padding, RSA_NO_PADDING for no padding, | ||
64 | RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING for OAEP padding (encrypt and decrypt only), | ||
65 | RSA_X931_PADDING for X9.31 padding (signature operations only) and | ||
66 | RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING (sign and verify only). | ||
67 | |||
68 | Two RSA padding modes behave differently if EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_signature_md() | ||
69 | is used. If this macro is called for PKCS#1 padding the plaintext buffer is | ||
70 | an actual digest value and is encapsulated in a DigestInfo structure according | ||
71 | to PKCS#1 when signing and this structure is expected (and stripped off) when | ||
72 | verifying. If this control is not used with RSA and PKCS#1 padding then the | ||
73 | supplied data is used directly and not encapsulated. In the case of X9.31 | ||
74 | padding for RSA the algorithm identifier byte is added or checked and removed | ||
75 | if this control is called. If it is not called then the first byte of the plaintext buffer is expected to be the algorithm identifier byte. | ||
76 | |||
77 | The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_saltlen() macro sets the RSA PSS salt length to | ||
78 | B<len> as its name implies it is only supported for PSS padding. Two special | ||
79 | values are supported: -1 sets the salt length to the digest length. When | ||
80 | signing -2 sets the salt length to the maximum permissible value. When | ||
81 | verifying -2 causes the salt length to be automatically determined based on the | ||
82 | B<PSS> block structure. If this macro is not called a salt length value of -2 | ||
83 | is used by default. | ||
84 | |||
85 | The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_rsa_keygen_bits() macro sets the RSA key length for | ||
86 | RSA key genration to B<bits>. If not specified 1024 bits is used. | ||
87 | |||
88 | The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_pubexp() macro sets the public exponent value | ||
89 | for RSA key generation to B<pubexp> currently it should be an odd integer. The | ||
90 | B<pubexp> pointer is used internally by this function so it should not be | ||
91 | modified or free after the call. If this macro is not called then 65537 is used. | ||
92 | |||
93 | The macro EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dsa_paramgen_bits() sets the number of bits used | ||
94 | for DSA parameter generation to B<bits>. If not specified 1024 is used. | ||
95 | |||
96 | The macro EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_paramgen_prime_len() sets the length of the DH | ||
97 | prime parameter B<p> for DH parameter generation. If this macro is not called | ||
98 | then 1024 is used. | ||
99 | |||
100 | The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_paramgen_generator() macro sets DH generator to B<gen> | ||
101 | for DH parameter generation. If not specified 2 is used. | ||
102 | |||
103 | The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ec_paramgen_curve_nid() sets the EC curve for EC parameter | ||
104 | generation to B<nid>. For EC parameter generation this macro must be called | ||
105 | or an error occurs because there is no default curve. | ||
106 | |||
107 | =head1 RETURN VALUES | ||
108 | |||
109 | EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl() and its macros return a positive value for success and 0 | ||
110 | or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2 | ||
111 | indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm. | ||
