=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
Ed25519,
|
|
Ed448
|
|
- EVP_PKEY Ed25519 and Ed448 support
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<Ed25519> and B<Ed448> EVP_PKEY implementation supports key generation,
|
|
one-shot digest sign and digest verify using PureEdDSA and B<Ed25519> or B<Ed448>
|
|
(see RFC8032). It has associated private and public key formats compatible with
|
|
draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-04.
|
|
|
|
No additional parameters can be set during key generation, one-shot signing or
|
|
verification. In particular, because PureEdDSA is used, a digest must B<NOT> be
|
|
specified when signing or verifying.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The PureEdDSA algorithm does not support the streaming mechanism
|
|
of other signature algorithms using, for example, EVP_DigestUpdate().
|
|
The message to sign or verify must be passed using the one-shot
|
|
EVP_DigestSign() and EVP_DigestVerify() functions.
|
|
|
|
When calling EVP_DigestSignInit() or EVP_DigestVerifyInit(), the
|
|
digest B<type> parameter B<MUST> be set to B<NULL>.
|
|
|
|
Applications wishing to sign certificates (or other structures such as
|
|
CRLs or certificate requests) using Ed25519 or Ed448 can either use X509_sign()
|
|
or X509_sign_ctx() in the usual way.
|
|
|
|
A context for the B<Ed25519> algorithm can be obtained by calling:
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_ED25519, NULL);
|
|
|
|
For the B<Ed448> algorithm a context can be obtained by calling:
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_ED448, NULL);
|
|
|
|
Ed25519 or Ed448 private keys can be set directly using
|
|
L<EVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key(3)> or loaded from a PKCS#8 private key file
|
|
using L<PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey(3)> (or similar function). Completely new keys
|
|
can also be generated (see the example below). Setting a private key also sets
|
|
the associated public key.
|
|
|
|
Ed25519 or Ed448 public keys can be set directly using
|
|
L<EVP_PKEY_new_raw_public_key(3)> or loaded from a SubjectPublicKeyInfo
|
|
structure in a PEM file using L<PEM_read_bio_PUBKEY(3)> (or similar function).
|
|
|
|
Ed25519 and Ed448 can be tested within L<speed(1)> application since version 1.1.1.
|
|
Valid algorithm names are B<ed25519>, B<ed448> and B<eddsa>. If B<eddsa> is
|
|
specified, then both Ed25519 and Ed448 are benchmarked.
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
This example generates an B<ED25519> private key and writes it to standard
|
|
output in PEM format:
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
#include <openssl/pem.h>
|
|
...
|
|
EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_ED25519, NULL);
|
|
EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(pctx);
|
|
EVP_PKEY_keygen(pctx, &pkey);
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx);
|
|
PEM_write_PrivateKey(stdout, pkey, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);
