.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBEVP_PKEY_new()\fR function allocates an empty \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY\s0\fR structure which is
used by OpenSSL to store public and private keys. The reference count is set to
\&\fB1\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_up_ref()\fR increments the reference count of \fBkey\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_free()\fR decrements the reference count of \fBkey\fR and, if the reference
count is zero, frees it up. If \fBkey\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 nothing is done.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key()\fR allocates a new \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY\s0\fR. If \fBe\fR is non-NULL
then the new \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY\s0\fR structure is associated with the engine \fBe\fR. The
\&\fBtype\fR argument indicates what kind of key this is. The value should be a \s-1NID\s0
for a public key algorithm that supports raw private keys, i.e. one of
\&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_HMAC\s0\fR, \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_POLY1305\s0\fR, \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_SIPHASH\s0\fR, \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_X25519\s0\fR,
\&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_ED25519\s0\fR, \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_X448\s0\fR or \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_ED448\s0\fR. \fBkey\fR points to the
raw private key data for this \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY\s0\fR which should be of length \fBkeylen\fR.
The length should be appropriate for the type of the key. The public key data
will be automatically derived from the given private key data (if appropriate
for the algorithm type).
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_public_key()\fR works in the same way as
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key()\fR except that \fBkey\fR points to the raw public key
data. The \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY\s0\fR structure will be initialised without any private key
information. Algorithm types that support raw public keys are
\&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_X25519\s0\fR, \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_ED25519\s0\fR, \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_X448\s0\fR or \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_ED448\s0\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_CMAC_key()\fR works in the same way as \fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key()\fR
except it is only for the \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_CMAC\s0\fR algorithm type. In addition to the
raw private key data, it also takes a cipher algorithm to be used during
creation of a \s-1CMAC\s0 in the \fBcipher\fR argument. The cipher should be a standard
encryption only cipher. For example \s-1AEAD\s0 and \s-1XTS\s0 ciphers should not be used.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_mac_key()\fR works in the same way as \fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key()\fR.
New applications should use \fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key()\fR instead.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_raw_private_key()\fR fills the buffer provided by \fBpriv\fR with raw
private key data. The size of the \fBpriv\fR buffer should be in \fB*len\fR on entry
to the function, and on exit \fB*len\fR is updated with the number of bytes
actually written. If the buffer \fBpriv\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then \fB*len\fR is populated with
the number of bytes required to hold the key. The calling application is
responsible for ensuring that the buffer is large enough to receive the private
key data. This function only works for algorithms that support raw private keys.
Currently this is: \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_HMAC\s0\fR, \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_POLY1305\s0\fR, \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_SIPHASH\s0\fR,
\&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_X25519\s0\fR, \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_ED25519\s0\fR, \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_X448\s0\fR or \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_ED448\s0\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_raw_public_key()\fR fills the buffer provided by \fBpub\fR with raw
public key data. The size of the \fBpub\fR buffer should be in \fB*len\fR on entry
to the function, and on exit \fB*len\fR is updated with the number of bytes
actually written. If the buffer \fBpub\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then \fB*len\fR is populated with
the number of bytes required to hold the key. The calling application is
responsible for ensuring that the buffer is large enough to receive the public
key data. This function only works for algorithms that support raw public keys.
Currently this is: \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_X25519\s0\fR, \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_ED25519\s0\fR, \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_X448\s0\fR or
\&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_ED448\s0\fR.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY\s0\fR structure is used by various OpenSSL functions which require a
general private key without reference to any particular algorithm.
.PP
The structure returned by \fBEVP_PKEY_new()\fR is empty. To add a private or public
key to this empty structure use the appropriate functions described in
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_set1_RSA\fR\|(3), EVP_PKEY_set1_DSA, EVP_PKEY_set1_DH or
EVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_new()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_new_raw_public_key()\fR,
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_new_CMAC_key()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_new_mac_key()\fR return either the newly
allocated \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY\s0\fR structure or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if an error occurred.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_up_ref()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_get_raw_private_key()\fR and
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_raw_public_key()\fR return 1 for success and 0 for failure.

.IX Header "HISTORY"
The
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_new()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_free()\fR functions exist in all versions of OpenSSL.
.PP
The \fBEVP_PKEY_up_ref()\fR function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.

The
