+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_param_check()\fR validates the parameters component of the key
+given by \fBctx\fR. This check will always succeed for key types that do not have
+parameters.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_param_check_quick()\fR validates the parameters component of the key
+given by \fBctx\fR like \fBEVP_PKEY_param_check()\fR does. However some algorithm
+implementations may offer a quicker form of validation that omits some checks in
+order to perform a lightweight sanity check of the key. If a quicker form is not
+provided then this function call does the same thing as \fBEVP_PKEY_param_check()\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_public_check()\fR validates the public component of the key given by \fBctx\fR.

+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_public_check_quick()\fR validates the public component of the key
+given by \fBctx\fR like \fBEVP_PKEY_public_check()\fR does. However some algorithm
+implementations may offer a quicker form of validation that omits some checks in
+order to perform a lightweight sanity check of the key. If a quicker form is not
+provided then this function call does the same thing as \fBEVP_PKEY_public_check()\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_private_check()\fR validates the private component of the key given by \fBctx\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_pairwise_check()\fR validates that the public and private components have
+the correct mathematical relationship to each other for the key given by \fBctx\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_check()\fR is an alias for the \fBEVP_PKEY_pairwise_check()\fR function.
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+Key validation used by the OpenSSL FIPS provider complies with the rules
+within SP800\-56A and SP800\-56B. For backwards compatibility reasons the OpenSSL
+default provider may use checks that are not as restrictive for certain key types.
+For further information see "DSA key validation" in \fBEVP_PKEY\-DSA\fR\|(7),
+"DH key validation" in \fBEVP_PKEY\-DH\fR\|(7), "EC key validation" in \fBEVP_PKEY\-EC\fR\|(7) and
+"RSA key validation" in \fBEVP_PKEY\-RSA\fR\|(7).
+.PP
+Refer to SP800\-56A and SP800\-56B for rules relating to when these functions
+should be called during key establishment.
+It is not necessary to call these functions after locally calling an approved key
+generation method, but may be required for assurance purposes when receiving
+keys from a third party.
+.PP
+The \fBEVP_PKEY_pairwise_check()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_private_check()\fR might not be bounded
+by any key size limits as private keys are not expected to be supplied by
+attackers. For that reason they might take an unbounded time if run on
+arbitrarily large keys.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+All functions return 1 for success or others for failure.
+They return \-2 if the operation is not supported for the specific algorithm.
