5 OSSL_PROVIDER-base - OpenSSL base provider
9 The OpenSSL base provider supplies the encoding for OpenSSL's
10 asymmetric cryptography.
14 The implementations in this provider specifically have this property
23 It may be used in a property query string with fetching functions.
25 It isn't mandatory to query for this property, except to make sure to get
26 implementations of this provider and none other.
30 =item "type=parameters"
38 These may be used in a property query string with fetching functions to select
39 which data are to be encoded. Either the private key material, the public
40 key material or the domain parameters can be selected.
52 These may be used in a property query string with fetching functions to select
53 the encoding output format. Either the DER, PEM and plaintext are
56 =head1 OPERATIONS AND ALGORITHMS
58 The OpenSSL base provider supports these operations and algorithms:
60 =head2 Asymmetric Key Encoder
62 In addition to "provider=base", some of these encoders define the
63 property "fips=yes", to allow them to be used together with the FIPS
