Consequently, the returned key must not be freed by the caller. .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac returns an internal pointer to the key referenced in .Fa pkey and sets .Pf * Fa len to its length in bytes. The returned pointer must not be freed by the caller. If .Fa pkey is not of the correct type, .Dv NULL is returned and the content of .Pf * Fa len becomes unspecified. .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_DSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_DH , .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY , .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_GOST , and .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign also set the referenced key to .Fa key ; however these use the supplied .Fa key internally without incrementing its reference count, such that .Fa key will be freed when the parent .Fa pkey is freed. If the .Fa key is of the wrong type, these functions report success even though .Fa pkey ends up in a corrupted state. Even the functions explicitly containing the type in their name are .Em not type safe because they are implemented as macros. The following types are supported: .Dv EVP_PKEY_RSA , .Dv EVP_PKEY_DSA , .Dv EVP_PKEY_DH , .Dv EVP_PKEY_EC , and .Dv EVP_PKEY_GOSTR01 . .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_base_id returns the type of .Fa pkey according to the following table: .Pp .Bl -column -compact -offset 2n EVP_PKEY_GOSTR NID_X9_62_id_ecPublicKey .It Sy return value Ta Ta Sy PEM type string .It Dv EVP_PKEY_CMAC Ta = Dv NID_cmac Ta CMAC .It Dv EVP_PKEY_DH Ta = Dv NID_dhKeyAgreement Ta DH .It Dv EVP_PKEY_DSA Ta = Dv NID_dsa Ta DSA .It Dv EVP_PKEY_EC Ta = Dv NID_X9_62_id_ecPublicKey Ta EC .It Dv EVP_PKEY_GOSTIMIT Ta = Dv NID_id_Gost28147_89_MAC Ta GOST-MAC .It Dv EVP_PKEY_GOSTR01 Ta = Dv NID_id_GostR3410_2001 Ta GOST2001 .It Dv EVP_PKEY_HMAC Ta = Dv NID_hmac Ta HMAC .It Dv EVP_PKEY_RSA Ta = Dv NID_rsaEncryption Ta RSA .It Dv EVP_PKEY_RSA_PSS Ta = Dv NID_rsassaPss Ta RSA-PSS .El .Pp Application programs can support additional key types by calling .Xr EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0 3 . .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_id returns the actual OID associated with .Fa pkey . Historically keys using the same algorithm could use different OIDs. The following deprecated aliases are still supported: .Pp .Bl -column -compact -offset 2n EVP_PKEY_GOSTR12_ NID_id_tc26_gost3410_2012_512 .It Sy return value Ta Ta Sy alias for .It Dv EVP_PKEY_DSA1 Ta = Dv NID_dsa_2 Ta DSA .It Dv EVP_PKEY_DSA2 Ta = Dv NID_dsaWithSHA Ta DSA .It Dv EVP_PKEY_DSA3 Ta = Dv NID_dsaWithSHA1 Ta DSA .It Dv EVP_PKEY_DSA4 Ta = Dv NID_dsaWithSHA1_2 Ta DSA .It Dv EVP_PKEY_GOSTR12_256 Ta = Dv NID_id_tc26_gost3410_2012_256 Ta GOST2001 .It Dv EVP_PKEY_GOSTR12_512 Ta = Dv NID_id_tc26_gost3410_2012_512 Ta GOST2001 .It Dv EVP_PKEY_RSA2 Ta = Dv NID_rsa Ta RSA .El .Pp Application programs can support additional alternative OIDs by calling .Xr EVP_PKEY_asn1_add_alias 3 . .Pp Most applications wishing to know a key type will simply call .Fn EVP_PKEY_base_id and will not care about the actual type, which will be identical in almost all cases. .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_type returns the underlying type of the NID .Fa type . For example, .Fn EVP_PKEY_type EVP_PKEY_RSA2 will return .Dv EVP_PKEY_RSA . .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_set_type frees the key referenced in .Fa pkey , if any, and sets the key type of .Fa pkey to .Fa type without referencing a new key from .Fa pkey yet. For .Fa type , any of the possible return values of .Fn EVP_PKEY_base_id and .Fn EVP_PKEY_id can be passed. .Pp In accordance with the OpenSSL naming convention, the key obtained from or assigned to .Fa pkey using the .Sy 1 functions must be freed as well as .Fa pkey . .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_set1_DSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_set1_DH , .Fn EVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY , .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_DSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_DH , .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY , .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_GOST , .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign , and .Fn EVP_PKEY_set_type return 1 for success or 0 for failure. .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_get1_DSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_get1_DH , .Fn EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY , .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0_DH , .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY , .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac , and .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0 return the referenced key or .Dv NULL if an error occurred. For .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0 , the return value points to an .Vt RSA , .Vt DSA , .Vt DH , .Vt EC_KEY , .Vt GOST_KEY , or .Vt ASN1_OCTET_STRING object depending on the type of .Fa pkey . .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_base_id , .Fn EVP_PKEY_id , and .Fn EVP_PKEY_type return a key type or .Dv NID_undef (equivalently .Dv EVP_PKEY_NONE ) on error. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr DH_new 3 , .Xr DSA_new 3 , .Xr EC_KEY_new 3 , .Xr EVP_PKEY_get0_asn1 3 , .Xr EVP_PKEY_new 3 , .Xr RSA_new 3 .Sh HISTORY .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_DSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_DH , .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign , and .Fn EVP_PKEY_type first appeared in SSLeay 0.8.0 and have been available since .Ox 2.4 . .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_set1_DSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_set1_DH , .Fn EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_get1_DSA , and .Fn EVP_PKEY_get1_DH first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.5 and have been available since .Ox 2.7 . .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY , .Fn EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY , and .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.8 and have been available since .Ox 4.5 . .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0 , .Fn EVP_PKEY_set_type , .Fn EVP_PKEY_base_id , and .Fn EVP_PKEY_id first appeared in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and have been available since .Ox 4.9 . .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_assign_GOST first appeared in .Ox 5.7 . .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA , .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0_DH , and .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY first appeared in OpenSSL 1.1.0 and have been available since .Ox 6.3 . .Pp .Fn EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac first appeared in OpenSSL 1.1.0 and has been available since .Ox 6.5 .
