=head1 NAME
+EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init_ex,
EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init, EVP_PKEY_encrypt - encrypt using a public key algorithm
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
int EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
+ int EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init_ex(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const OSSL_PARAM params[]);
int EVP_PKEY_encrypt(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx,
unsigned char *out, size_t *outlen,
const unsigned char *in, size_t inlen);
The EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init() function initializes a public key algorithm
context using key B<pkey> for an encryption operation.
+The EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init_ex() function initializes a public key algorithm
+context using key B<pkey> for an encryption operation and sets the
+algorithm specific B<params>.
+
The EVP_PKEY_encrypt() function performs a public key encryption operation
using B<ctx>. The data to be encrypted is specified using the B<in> and
B<inlen> parameters. If B<out> is B<NULL> then the maximum size of the output
After the call to EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init() algorithm specific control
operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the
-operation.
+operation. These operations can be included in the EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init_ex()
+call.
The function EVP_PKEY_encrypt() can be called more than once on the same
context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
-EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init() and EVP_PKEY_encrypt() return 1 for success and 0
-or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2
-indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.
+EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init(), EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init_ex() and EVP_PKEY_encrypt()
+return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a
