=head1 DESCRIPTION
The KEYMGMT operation doesn't have much public visibility in OpenSSL
libraries, it's rather an internal operation that's designed to work
in tandem with operations that use private/public key pairs.
Because the KEYMGMT operation shares knowledge with the operations it
works with in tandem, they must belong to the same provider.
The OpenSSL libraries will ensure that they do.
The primary responsibility of the KEYMGMT operation is to hold the
provider side key data for the OpenSSL library EVP_PKEY structure.
All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
F<libcrypto> and the provider in B<OSSL_DISPATCH> arrays via
B<OSSL_ALGORITHM> arrays that are returned by the provider's
provider_query_operation() function
(see L<provider-base(7)/Provider Functions>).
All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition
named B<OSSL_{name}_fn>, and a helper function to retrieve the
function pointer from a B<OSSL_DISPATCH> element named
B<OSSL_get_{name}>.
For example, the "function" OP_keymgmt_new() has these:
typedef void *(OSSL_OP_keymgmt_new_fn)(void *provctx);
static ossl_inline OSSL_OP_keymgmt_new_fn
OSSL_get_OP_keymgmt_new(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);
B<OSSL_DISPATCH> arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as
macros in L<openssl-core_numbers.h(7)>, as follows:
OP_keymgmt_new OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_NEW
OP_keymgmt_free OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_FREE
OP_keymgmt_get_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_GET_PARAMS
OP_keymgmt_gettable_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_GETTABLE_PARAMS
OP_keymgmt_set_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_SET_PARAMS
OP_keymgmt_settable_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_SETTABLE_PARAMS
OP_keymgmt_query_operation_name OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_QUERY_OPERATION_NAME
OP_keymgmt_has OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_HAS
OP_keymgmt_validate OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_VALIDATE
OP_keymgmt_import OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_IMPORT

=head2 Key Objects
A key object is a collection of data for an asymmetric key, and is
represented as I<keydata> in this manual.
The exact contents of a key object are defined by the provider, and it
is assumed that different operations in one and the same provider use
the exact same structure to represent this collection of data, so that
for example, a key object that has been created using the KEYMGMT
interface that we document here can be passed as is to other provider
operations, such as OP_signature_sign_init() (see
L<provider-signature(7)>).
With some of the KEYMGMT functions, it's possible to select a specific
subset of data to handle, governed by the bits in a I<selection>
indicator. The bits are:
=over 4
=item B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PRIVATE_KEY>
Indicating that the private key data in a key object should be
considered.
=item B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PUBLIC_KEY>
Indicating that the public key data in a key object should be
considered.
=item B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS>
Indicating that the domain parameters in a key object should be
considered.
=item B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_OTHER_PARAMETERS>
Indicating that other parameters in a key object should be
considered.
Other parameters are key parameters that don't fit any other
classification. In other words, this particular selector bit works as
a last resort bit bucket selector.
=back
Some selector bits have also been combined for easier use:
=over 4
=item B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_ALL_PARAMETERS>
Indicating that all key object parameters should be considered,
regardless of their more granular classification.
=for comment This should used by EVP functions such as
EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters() and EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters()
This is a combination of B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS> and
B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_OTHER_PARAMETERS>.
=for comment If more parameter categories are added, they should be
mentioned here too.
=item B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_KEYPAIR>
Indicating that both the whole key pair in a key object should be
considered, i.e. the combination of public and private key.
This is a combination of B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PRIVATE_KEY> and
B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PUBLIC_KEY>.
=item B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_ALL>
Indicating that everything in a key object should be considered.
=back
The exact interpretation of those bits or how they combine is left to
each function where you can specify a selector.
=for comment One might think that a combination of bits means that all
the selected data subsets must be considered, but then you have to
consider that when comparing key objects (future function), an
implementation might opt to not compare the private key if it has
compared the public key, since a match of one half implies a match of
the other half.
=head2 Constructing and Destructing Functions
OP_keymgmt_new() should create a provider side key object. The
provider context I<provctx> is passed and may be incorporated in the
key object, but that is not mandatory.
OP_keymgmt_free() should free the passed I<keydata>.
The constructor and destructor are mandatory, a KEYMGMT implementation
without them will not be accepted.
=for comment when new constructors appear, it's sufficient if only one
of them is present. The remark above will have to change to reflect
that.
=head2 Key Object Information Functions
OP_keymgmt_get_params() should extract information data associated
with the given I<keydata>, see L</Information Parameters>.
OP_keymgmt_gettable_params() should return a constant array of
descriptor B<OSSL_PARAM>, for parameters that OP_keymgmt_get_params()
can handle.
If OP_keymgmt_gettable_params() is present, OP_keymgmt_get_params()
must also be present, and vice versa.
OP_keymgmt_set_params() should update information data associated
with the given I<keydata>, see L</Information Parameters>.
OP_keymgmt_settable_params() should return a constant array of
descriptor B<OSSL_PARAM>, for parameters that OP_keymgmt_set_params()
can handle.
If OP_keymgmt_settable_params() is present, OP_keymgmt_set_params()
must also be present, and vice versa.
=head2 Key Object Checking Functions
OP_keymgmt_query_operation_name() should return the name of the
supported algorithm for the operation I<operation_id>. This is
similar to provider_query_operation() (see L<provider-base(7)>),
but only works as an advisory. If this function is not present, or
returns NULL, the caller is free to assume that there's an algorithm
from the same provider, of the same name as the one used to fetch the
keymgmt and try to use that.
OP_keymgmt_has() should check whether the given I<keydata> contains the subsets
of data indicated by the I<selector>. A combination of several
selector bits must consider all those subsets, not just one. An
implementation is, however, free to consider an empty subset of data
to still be a valid subset.
OP_keymgmt_validate() should check if the I<keydata> contains valid
data subsets indicated by I<selection>. Some combined selections of
data subsets may cause validation of the combined data.
For example, the combination of B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PRIVATE_KEY> and
B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PUBLIC_KEY> (or B<OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_KEYPAIR>
for short) is expected to check that the pairwise consistency of
I<keydata> is valid.
=head2 Key Object Import and Export Functions
OP_keymgmt_import() should import data indicated by I<selection> into
I<keydata> with values taken from the B<OSSL_PARAM> array I<params>.
OP_keymgmt_export() should extract values indicated by I<selection>
from I<keydata>, create an B<OSSL_PARAM> array with them and call
I<param_cb> with that array as well as the given I<cbarg>.
OP_keymgmt_import_types() should return a constant array of descriptor
B<OSSL_PARAM> for data indicated by I<selection>, for parameters that
OP_keymgmt_import() can handle.
OP_keymgmt_export_types() should return a constant array of descriptor
B<OSSL_PARAM> for data indicated by I<selection>, that the
OP_keymgmt_export() callback can expect to receive.
=head2 Information Parameters
See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for further details on the parameters structure.
Parameters currently recognised by built-in keymgmt algorithms
are as follows.
Not all parameters are relevant to, or are understood by all keymgmt
algorithms:
=over 4
=item "bits" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_BITS>) <integer>
The value should be the cryptographic length of the cryptosystem to
which the key belongs, in bits. The definition of cryptographic
length is specific to the key cryptosystem.
=item "max-size" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_MAX_SIZE>) <integer>
The value should be the maximum size that a caller should allocate to
safely store a signature (called I<sig> in L<provider-signature(7)>),
the result of asymmmetric encryption / decryption (I<out> in
L<provider-asym_cipher(7)>, a derived secret (I<secret> in
L<provider-keyexch(7)>, and similar data).
Because an EVP_KEYMGMT method is always tightly bound to another method
(signature, asymmetric cipher, key exchange, ...) and must be of the
same provider, this number only needs to be synchronised with the
dimensions handled in the rest of the same provider.
=item "security-bits" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_SECURITY_BITS>) <integer>
The value should be the number of security bits of the given key.
Bits of security is defined in SP800-57.
=item "use-cofactor-flag" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_USE_COFACTOR_FLAG>,
B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_USE_COFACTOR_ECDH>) <integer>
The value should be either 1 or 0, to respectively enable or disable
use of the cofactor in operations using this key.
In the context of a key that can be used to perform an Elliptic Curve
Diffie-Hellman key exchange, this parameter can be used to mark a requirement
for using the Cofactor Diffie-Hellman (CDH) variant of the key exchange
algorithm.
See also L<provider-keyexch(7)> for the related
B<OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_EC_ECDH_COFACTOR_MODE> parameter that can be set on a
per-operation basis.
=back
=head1 RETURN VALUES
OP_keymgmt_new() should return a valid reference to the newly created provider
side key object, or NULL on failure.
OP_keymgmt_import(), OP_keymgmt_export(), OP_keymgmt_get_params() and
OP_keymgmt_set_params() should return 1 for success or 0 on error.
OP_keymgmt_validate() should return 1 on successful validation, or 0 on
failure.
OP_keymgmt_has() should return 1 if all the selected data subsets are contained
in the given I<keydata> or 0 otherwise.
OP_keymgmt_query_operation_name() should return a pointer to a string matching
the requested operation, or NULL if the same name used to fetch the keymgmt
applies.
OP_keymgmt_gettable_params() and OP_keymgmt_settable_params()
OP_keymgmt_import_types(), OP_keymgmt_export_types()
should
always return a constant B<OSSL_PARAM> array.
