=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
Ed25519 - EVP_PKEY Ed25519 support
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<Ed25519> EVP_PKEY implementation supports key generation, one shot
|
|
digest sign and digest verify using PureEdDSA and B<Ed25519> (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, when signing or
|
|
verifying a digest must B<NOT> be specified.
|
|
|
|
=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() asn EVP_DigestVerify() functions.
|
|
|
|
When calling EVP_DigestSignInit() or EVP_DigestSignUpdate() the
|
|
digest parameter B<MUST> be set to B<NULL>.
|
|
|
|
Applications wishing to sign certificates (or other structures such as
|
|
CRLs or certificate requests) using Ed25519 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);
|
|
|
|
=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);
