The idea with the key management "operation" is to support the following set of functionality: - Key domain parameter generation - Key domain parameter import - Key domain parameter export - Key generation - Key import - Key export - Key loading (HSM / hidden key support) With that set of function, we can support handling domain parameters on one provider, key handling on another, and key usage on a third, with transparent export / import of applicable data. Of course, if a provider doesn't offer export / import functionality, then all operations surrounding a key must be performed with the same provider. This method also avoids having to do anything special with legacy assignment of libcrypto key structures, i.e. EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA(). They will simply be used as keys to be exported from whenever they are used with provider based operations. This change only adds the EVP_KEYMGMT API and the libcrypto <-> provider interface. Further changes will integrate them into existing libcrypto functionality. Reviewed-by: Matt Caswell <matt@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/9312)

=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
|
|
typedef struct evp_keymgmt_st EVP_KEYMGMT;
|
|
|
|
EVP_KEYMGMT *EVP_KEYMGMT_fetch(OPENSSL_CTX *ctx, const char *algorithm,
|
|
const char *properties);
|
|
int EVP_KEYMGMT_up_ref(EVP_KEYMGMT *keymgmt);
|
|
void EVP_KEYMGMT_free(EVP_KEYMGMT *keymgmt);

|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
B<EVP_KEYMGMT> is a method object that represents key management
|
|
implementations for different cryptographic algorithms.
|
|
This method object provides functionality to have providers import key
|
|
material from the outside, as well as export key material to the
|
|
outside.
|
|
Most of the functionality can only be used internally and has no
|
|
public interface, this object is simply passed into other functions
|
|
when needed.
|
|
|
|
EVP_KEYMGMT_fetch() looks for an algorithm within the provider that
|
|
has been loaded into the B<OPENSSL_CTX> given by I<ctx>, having the
|
|
name given by I<algorithm> and the properties given by I<properties>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_KEYMGMT_up_ref() increments the reference count for the given
|
|
B<EVP_KEYMGMT> I<keymgmt>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_KEYMGMT_free() decrements the reference count for the given
|
|
B<EVP_KEYMGMT> I<keymgmt>, and when the count reaches zero, frees it.
|
|
|
|
EVP_KEYMGMT_provider() returns the provider that has this particular
|
|
implementation.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
EVP_KEYMGMT_fetch() may be called implicitly by other fetching
|
|
functions, using the same library context and properties.
|
|
Any other API that uses keys will typically do this.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
EVP_KEYMGMT_fetch() returns a pointer to the key management
|
|
implementation represented by an EVP_KEYMGMT object, or NULL on
|
|
error.
|
|
|
|
EVP_KEYMGMT_up_ref() returns 1 on success, or 0 on error.
|
|
|
|
EVP_KEYMGMT_free() doesn't return any value.
|
|
|
|
EVP_KEYMGMT_provider() returns a pointer to a provider object, or NULL
|
|
on error.
