All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition
named B<OSSL_{name}_fn>, and a helper function to retrieve the
function pointer from a B<OSSL_DISPATCH> element named
-B<OSSL_get_{name}>.
+B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}>.
For example, the "function" core_gettable_params() has these:

=head2 Core functions
=for comment core_thread_start() TBA
-core_get_library_context() retrieves the library context in which the library
+core_get_libctx() retrieves the library context in which the library
object for the current provider is stored, accessible through the I<handle>.
This may sometimes be useful if the provider wishes to store a
reference to its context in the same library context.
B<OSSL_PARAM>s should provide details about the capability with the name given
in the I<capability> argument relevant for the provider context I<provctx>. If a
provider supports multiple capabilities with the given name then it may call the
-callback multipe times (one for each capability). Capabilities can be useful for
+callback multiple times (one for each capability). Capabilities can be useful for
describing the services that a provider can offer. For further details see the
L</CAPABILITIES> section below. It should return 1 on success or 0 on error.
+The provider_self_test() function should perform known answer tests on a subset
+of the algorithms that it uses, and may also verify the integrity of the
+provider module. It should return 1 on success or 0 on error. It will return 1
+if this function is not used.
+
None of these functions are mandatory, but a provider is fairly
useless without at least provider_query_operation(), and
provider_gettable_params() is fairly useless if not accompanied by
OpenSSL in-built providers use OPENSSL_FULL_VERSION_STR, but this may be
different for any third party provider.
+=item "status" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_STATUS>) <unsigned integer>
+
+This returns 0 if the provider has entered an error state, otherwise it returns
+1.

provider_gettable_params() should return the above parameters.
=head1 CAPABILITIES
-Capabilties describe some of the services that a provider can offer.
+Capabilities describe some of the services that a provider can offer.
Applications can query the capabilities to discover those services.
=head3 "TLS-GROUP" Capability
The "TLS-GROUP" capability can be queried by libssl to discover the list of
TLS groups that a provider can support. Each group supported can be used for
-key exchange during a TLS handshake. TLS clients can advertise the list of
-TLS groups they support in the supported_groups extension, and TLS servers can
-select a group from the offered list that they also support. In this way a
-provider can add to the list of groups that libssl already supports with
-additional ones.

+handshake.

+supported_groups extension, and TLS servers can select a group from the offered
+list that they also support. In this way a provider can add to the list of

Each TLS group that a provider supports should be described via the callback
passed in through the provider_get_capabilities function. Each group should have

=item "tls-group-alg" (B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_ALG>) <utf8 string>

-be used with this group. Keys created should be able to support key exchange.
+be used with this group. Keys created should be able to support I<key exchange>
+or I<key encapsulation method> (KEM), as implied by the optional
+B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_IS_KEM> flag.
The algorithm must support key and parameter generation as well as the
key/parameter generation parameter, B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME>. The group
name given via "tls-group-name-internal" above will be passed via
should be comparable with the ones given in table 2 and 3 of the NIST SP800-57
document.
+=item "tls-group-is-kem" (B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_IS_KEM>) <unsigned integer>
+
+Boolean flag to describe if the group should be used in I<key exchange> (KEX)
+mode (0, default) or in I<key encapsulation method> (KEM) mode (1).
+
+This parameter is optional: if not specified, KEX mode is assumed as the default
+mode for the group.
+
+In KEX mode, in a typical Diffie-Hellman fashion, both sides execute I<keygen>
+then I<derive> against the peer public key. To operate in KEX mode, the group
+implementation must support the provider functions as described in
+L<provider-keyexch(7)>.
+
+In KEM mode, the client executes I<keygen> and sends its public key, the server
+executes I<encapsulate> using the client's public key and sends back the
+resulting I<ciphertext>, finally the client executes I<decapsulate> to retrieve
+the same I<shared secret> generated by the server's I<encapsulate>. To operate
+in KEM mode, the group implementation must support the provider functions as
+described in L<provider-kem(7)>.
+
+Both in KEX and KEM mode, the resulting I<shared secret> is then used according
+to the protocol specification.
