Because the KEYMGMT operation shares knowledge with the operations it works with in tandem, they must belong to the same provider. The OpenSSL libraries will ensure that they do. The primary responsibility of the KEYMGMT operation is to hold the provider side key data for the OpenSSL library EVP_PKEY structure. All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between F and the provider in B arrays via B arrays that are returned by the provider's provider_query_operation() function (see L). All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition named B, and a helper function to retrieve the function pointer from a B element named B. For example, the "function" OP_keymgmt_new() has these: typedef void *(OSSL_OP_keymgmt_new_fn)(void *provctx); static ossl_inline OSSL_OP_keymgmt_new_fn OSSL_get_OP_keymgmt_new(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf); B arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as macros in L, as follows: OP_keymgmt_new OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_NEW OP_keymgmt_free OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_FREE OP_keymgmt_gen_init OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_GEN_INIT OP_keymgmt_gen_set_template OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_GEN_SET_TEMPLATE OP_keymgmt_gen_set_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_GEN_SET_PARAMS OP_keymgmt_gen_settable_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_GEN_SETTABLE_PARAMS OP_keymgmt_gen OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_GEN OP_keymgmt_gen_cleanup OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_GEN_CLEANUP OP_keymgmt_get_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_GET_PARAMS OP_keymgmt_gettable_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_GETTABLE_PARAMS OP_keymgmt_set_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_SET_PARAMS OP_keymgmt_settable_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_SETTABLE_PARAMS OP_keymgmt_query_operation_name OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_QUERY_OPERATION_NAME OP_keymgmt_has OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_HAS OP_keymgmt_validate OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_VALIDATE OP_keymgmt_match OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_MATCH OP_keymgmt_import OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_IMPORT OP_keymgmt_import_types OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_IMPORT_TYPES OP_keymgmt_export OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_EXPORT OP_keymgmt_export_types OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_EXPORT_TYPES OP_keymgmt_copy OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_COPY =head2 Key Objects A key object is a collection of data for an asymmetric key, and is represented as I in this manual. The exact contents of a key object are defined by the provider, and it is assumed that different operations in one and the same provider use the exact same structure to represent this collection of data, so that for example, a key object that has been created using the KEYMGMT interface that we document here can be passed as is to other provider operations, such as OP_signature_sign_init() (see L). With some of the KEYMGMT functions, it's possible to select a specific subset of data to handle, governed by the bits in a I indicator. The bits are: =over 4 =item B Indicating that the private key data in a key object should be considered. =item B Indicating that the public key data in a key object should be considered. =item B Indicating that the domain parameters in a key object should be considered. =item B Indicating that other parameters in a key object should be considered. Other parameters are key parameters that don't fit any other classification. In other words, this particular selector bit works as a last resort bit bucket selector. =back Some selector bits have also been combined for easier use: =over 4 =item B Indicating that all key object parameters should be considered, regardless of their more granular classification. =for comment This should used by EVP functions such as EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters() and EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters() This is a combination of B and B. =for comment If more parameter categories are added, they should be mentioned here too. =item B Indicating that both the whole key pair in a key object should be considered, i.e. the combination of public and private key. This is a combination of B and B. =item B Indicating that everything in a key object should be considered. =back The exact interpretation of those bits or how they combine is left to each function where you can specify a selector. =for comment One might think that a combination of bits means that all the selected data subsets must be considered, but then you have to consider that when comparing key objects (future function), an implementation might opt to not compare the private key if it has compared the public key, since a match of one half implies a match of the other half. =head2 Constructing and Destructing Functions OP_keymgmt_new() should create a provider side key object. The provider context I is passed and may be incorporated in the key object, but that is not mandatory. OP_keymgmt_free() should free the passed I. OP_keymgmt_gen_init(), OP_keymgmt_gen_set_template(), OP_keymgmt_gen_set_params(), OP_keymgmt_gen_settable_params(), OP_keymgmt_gen() and OP_keymgmt_gen_cleanup() work together as a more elaborate context based key object constructor. OP_keymgmt_gen_init() should create the key object generation context and initialize it with I, which will determine what kind of contents the key object to be generated should get. OP_keymgmt_gen_set_template() should add I
