- * Deprecated EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type(). This function was previously
+ * Removed EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type(). This function was previously
needed as a workaround to recognise SM2 keys. With OpenSSL 3.0, this key
type is internally recognised so the workaround is no longer needed.
- Functionality is still retained as it is, but will only work with
- EVP_PKEYs with a legacy internal key.
+ This is a breaking change from previous OpenSSL versions.

* Reworked the treatment of EC EVP_PKEYs with the SM2 curve to
- automatically become EVP_PKEY_SM2 rather than EVP_PKEY_EC.
- This means that applications don't have to look at the curve NID and
- `EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type(pkey, EVP_PKEY_SM2)` to get SM2 computations.
- However, they still can, that `EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type()` call acts as
- a no-op when the EVP_PKEY is already of the given type.
+ automatically become EVP_PKEY_SM2 rather than EVP_PKEY_EC. This is a breaking
+ change from previous OpenSSL versions.
+
+ Unlike in previous OpenSSL versions, this means that applications must not
+ call `EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type(pkey, EVP_PKEY_SM2)` to get SM2 computations.
+ The `EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type` function has now been removed.
Parameter and key generation is also reworked to make it possible
- to generate EVP_PKEY_SM2 parameters and keys without having to go
- through EVP_PKEY_EC generation and then change the EVP_PKEY type.
- However, code that does the latter will still work as before.
+ to generate EVP_PKEY_SM2 parameters and keys. Applications must now generate
+ SM2 keys directly and must not create an EVP_PKEY_EC key first.
