.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The function \fBEVP_PKEY_missing_parameters()\fR returns 1 if the public key
parameters of \fBpkey\fR are missing and 0 if they are present or the algorithm
doesn't use parameters.
.PP
The function \fBEVP_PKEY_copy_parameters()\fR copies the parameters from key
\&\fBfrom\fR to key \fBto\fR. An error is returned if the parameters are missing in
\&\fBfrom\fR or present in both \fBfrom\fR and \fBto\fR and mismatch. If the parameters
in \fBfrom\fR and \fBto\fR are both present and match this function has no effect.
.PP
The function \fBEVP_PKEY_parameters_eq()\fR checks the parameters of keys
\&\fBa\fR and \fBb\fR for equality.
.PP
The function \fBEVP_PKEY_eq()\fR checks the keys \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR for equality,
including their parameters if they are available.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The main purpose of the functions \fBEVP_PKEY_missing_parameters()\fR and
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_copy_parameters()\fR is to handle public keys in certificates where the
parameters are sometimes omitted from a public key if they are inherited from
the \s-1CA\s0 that signed it.
.PP
The deprecated functions \fBEVP_PKEY_cmp()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters()\fR differ in
their return values compared to other \fB_cmp()\fR functions. They are aliases for
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_eq()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_parameters_eq()\fR.
.PP
The function \fBEVP_PKEY_cmp()\fR previously only checked the key parameters
(if there are any) and the public key, assuming that there always was
a public key and that private key equality could be derived from that.
Because it's no longer assumed that the private key in an \s-1\fBEVP_PKEY\s0\fR\|(3) is
always accompanied by a public key, the comparison can not rely on public
key comparison alone.
.PP
Instead, \fBEVP_PKEY_eq()\fR (and therefore also \fBEVP_PKEY_cmp()\fR) now compares:
.IP "1." 4
the key parameters (if there are any)
.IP "2." 4
the public keys or the private keys of the two \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY\s0\fRs, depending on
what they both contain.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
The function \fBEVP_PKEY_missing_parameters()\fR returns 1 if the public key
parameters of \fBpkey\fR are missing and 0 if they are present or the algorithm
doesn't use parameters.
.PP
These functions \fBEVP_PKEY_copy_parameters()\fR returns 1 for success and 0 for
failure.
.PP
The functions \fBEVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_parameters_eq()\fR,
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_cmp()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_eq()\fR return 1 if their
inputs match, 0 if they don't match, \-1 if the key types are different and
\&\-2 if the operation is not supported.

.IX Header "SEE ALSO"

.SH "HISTORY"
.IX Header "HISTORY"
The \fBEVP_PKEY_cmp()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters()\fR functions were deprecated in
OpenSSL 3.0.
.PP
The \fBEVP_PKEY_eq()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_parameters_eq()\fR were added in OpenSSL 3.0 to
replace \fBEVP_PKEY_cmp()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters()\fR.
