See L for further information. The asymmetric cipher (OSSL_OP_ASYM_CIPHER) operation enables providers to implement asymmetric cipher algorithms and make them available to applications via the API functions L, L and other related functions). 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 an B element named B. For example, the "function" OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_newctx() has these: typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_newctx_fn)(void *provctx); static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_newctx_fn OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf); B arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as macros in L, as follows: OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_newctx OSSL_FUNC_ASYM_CIPHER_NEWCTX OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_freectx OSSL_FUNC_ASYM_CIPHER_FREECTX OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_dupctx OSSL_FUNC_ASYM_CIPHER_DUPCTX OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_encrypt_init OSSL_FUNC_ASYM_CIPHER_ENCRYPT_INIT OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_encrypt OSSL_FUNC_ASYM_CIPHER_ENCRYPT OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_decrypt_init OSSL_FUNC_ASYM_CIPHER_DECRYPT_INIT OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_decrypt OSSL_FUNC_ASYM_CIPHER_DECRYPT OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_get_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_ASYM_CIPHER_GET_CTX_PARAMS OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_gettable_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_ASYM_CIPHER_GETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_set_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_ASYM_CIPHER_SET_CTX_PARAMS OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_settable_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_ASYM_CIPHER_SETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS An asymmetric cipher algorithm implementation may not implement all of these functions. In order to be a consistent set of functions a provider must implement OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_newctx and OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_freectx. It must also implement both of OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_encrypt_init and OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_encrypt, or both of OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_decrypt_init and OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_decrypt. OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_get_ctx_params is optional but if it is present then so must OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_gettable_ctx_params. Similarly, OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_set_ctx_params is optional but if it is present then so must OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_settable_ctx_params. An asymmetric cipher algorithm must also implement some mechanism for generating, loading or importing keys via the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation. See L for further details. =head2 Context Management Functions OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_newctx() should create and return a pointer to a provider side structure for holding context information during an asymmetric cipher operation. A pointer to this context will be passed back in a number of the other asymmetric cipher operation function calls. The parameter I is the provider context generated during provider initialisation (see L). OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_freectx() is passed a pointer to the provider side asymmetric cipher context in the I parameter. This function should free any resources associated with that context. OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_dupctx() should duplicate the provider side asymmetric cipher context in the I parameter and return the duplicate copy. =head2 Encryption Functions OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_encrypt_init() initialises a context for an asymmetric encryption given a provider side asymmetric cipher context in the I parameter, and a pointer to a provider key object in the I parameter. The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see provider-keymgmt(7)>. OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_encrypt() performs the actual encryption itself. A previously initialised asymmetric cipher context is passed in the I parameter. The data to be encrypted is pointed to by the I parameter which is I bytes long. Unless I is NULL, the encrypted data should be written to the location pointed to by the I parameter and it should not exceed I bytes in length. The length of the encrypted data should be written to I<*outlen>. If I is NULL then the maximum length of the encrypted data should be written to I<*outlen>. =head2 Decryption Functions OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_decrypt_init() initialises a context for an asymmetric decryption given a provider side asymmetric cipher context in the I parameter, and a pointer to a provider key object in the I parameter. The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see provider-keymgmt(7)>. OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_decrypt() performs the actual decryption itself. A previously initialised asymmetric cipher context is passed in the I parameter. The data to be decrypted is pointed to by the I parameter which is I bytes long. Unless I is NULL, the decrypted data should be written to the location pointed to by the I parameter and it should not exceed I bytes in length. The length of the decrypted data should be written to I<*outlen>. If I is NULL then the maximum length of the decrypted data should be written to I<*outlen>. =head2 Asymmetric Cipher Parameters See L for further details on the parameters structure used by the OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_get_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_set_ctx_params() functions. OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_get_ctx_params() gets asymmetric cipher parameters associated with the given provider side asymmetric cipher context I and stores them in I. OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_set_ctx_params() sets the asymmetric cipher parameters associated with the given provider side asymmetric cipher context I to I. Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set. Parameters currently recognised by built-in asymmetric cipher algorithms are as follows. Not all parameters are relevant to, or are understood by all asymmetric cipher algorithms: =over 4 =item "pad-mode" (B) The type of padding to be used. The interpretation of this value will depend on the algorithm in use. The default provider understands these RSA padding modes: 1 (RSA_PKCS1_PADDING), 2 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING), 3 (RSA_NO_PADDING), 4 (RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING), 5 (RSA_X931_PADDING), 6 (RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING) and 7 (RSA_PKCS1_WITH_TLS_PADDING). See L for further details. =item "digest" (B) Gets or sets the name of the OAEP digest algorithm used when OAEP padding is in use. =item "digest-props" (B) Gets or sets the properties to use when fetching the OAEP digest algorithm. =item "mgf1-digest" (B) Gets or sets the name of the MGF1 digest algorithm used when OAEP or PSS padding is in use. =item "mgf1-digest-props" (B) Gets or sets the properties to use when fetching the MGF1 digest algorithm. =item "oaep-label" (B) Gets or sets the OAEP label used when OAEP padding is in use. =item "oaep-label-len" (B) Gets the length of an OAEP label when OAEP padding is in use. =item "tls-client-version" (B) The TLS protocol version first requested by the client. See B on the page L. =item "tls-negotiated-version" (B) The negotiated TLS protocol version. See B on the page L. =back OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_gettable_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_settable_ctx_params() get a constant B array that describes the gettable and settable parameters, i.e. parameters that can be used with OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipherget_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_set_ctx_params() respectively. See L for the use of B as parameter descriptor. =head1 RETURN VALUES OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_newctx() and OSSL_FUNC_asym_cipher_dupctx() should return the newly created provider side asymmetric cipher context, or NULL on failure. All other functions should return 1 for success or 0 on error. =head1 SEE ALSO L =head1 HISTORY The provider ASYM_CIPHER interface was introduced in OpenSSL 3.0. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2019-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
