51=head1 DESCRIPTION
52
53EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_set1_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_set1_DH() and
54EVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY() set the key referenced by B<pkey> to B<key>.
55
56EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get1_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get1_DH() and
57EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY() return the referenced key in B<pkey> or
58B<NULL> if the key is not of the correct type.
59
60EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac(), EVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305(), EVP_PKEY_get0_siphash(),
61EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DH()
62and EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY() also return the referenced key in B<pkey> or B<NULL>
63if the key is not of the correct type but the reference count of the
64returned key is B<not> incremented and so must not be freed up after use.
65
66EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_assign_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_assign_DH(),
67EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY(), EVP_PKEY_assign_POLY1305() and
68EVP_PKEY_assign_SIPHASH() also set the referenced key to B<key>
69however these use the supplied B<key> internally and so B<key>
70will be freed when the parent B<pkey> is freed.
71
72EVP_PKEY_base_id() returns the type of B<pkey>. For example
73an RSA key will return B<EVP_PKEY_RSA>.
74
75EVP_PKEY_id() returns the actual OID associated with B<pkey>. Historically keys
76using the same algorithm could use different OIDs. For example an RSA key could
77use the OIDs corresponding to the NIDs B<NID_rsaEncryption> (equivalent to
78B<EVP_PKEY_RSA>) or B<NID_rsa> (equivalent to B<EVP_PKEY_RSA2>). The use of
79alternative non-standard OIDs is now rare so B<EVP_PKEY_RSA2> et al are not
80often seen in practice.
81
82EVP_PKEY_type() returns the underlying type of the NID B<type>. For example
83EVP_PKEY_type(EVP_PKEY_RSA2) will return B<EVP_PKEY_RSA>.
84
85EVP_PKEY_get0_engine() returns a reference to the ENGINE handling B<pkey>.
86
87EVP_PKEY_set1_engine() sets the ENGINE handling B<pkey> to B<engine>. It
88must be called after the key algorithm and components are set up.
89If B<engine> does not include an B<EVP_PKEY_METHOD> for B<pkey> an
90error occurs.
91
92EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type() allows modifying a EVP_PKEY to use a
93different set of algorithms than the default. This is currently used
94to support SM2 keys, which use an identical encoding to ECDSA.
95
96=head1 NOTES
97
98In accordance with the OpenSSL naming convention the key obtained
99from or assigned to the B<pkey> using the B<1> functions must be
100freed as well as B<pkey>.
101
102EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_assign_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_assign_DH(),
103EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY(), EVP_PKEY_assign_POLY1305()
104and EVP_PKEY_assign_SIPHASH() are implemented as macros.
105
106Most applications wishing to know a key type will simply call
107EVP_PKEY_base_id() and will not care about the actual type:
108which will be identical in almost all cases.
109
110Previous versions of this document suggested using EVP_PKEY_type(pkey->type)
111to determine the type of a key. Since B<EVP_PKEY> is now opaque this
112is no longer possible: the equivalent is EVP_PKEY_base_id(pkey).
113
114EVP_PKEY_set1_engine() is typically used by an ENGINE returning an HSM
115key as part of its routine to load a private key.
116
117=head1 RETURN VALUES
118
119EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_set1_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_set1_DH() and
120EVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY() return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
121
122EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get1_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get1_DH() and
123EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY() return the referenced key or B<NULL> if
124an error occurred.
125
126EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_assign_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_assign_DH(),
127EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY(), EVP_PKEY_assign_POLY1305()
128and EVP_PKEY_assign_SIPHASH() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
129
130EVP_PKEY_base_id(), EVP_PKEY_id() and EVP_PKEY_type() return a key
131type or B<NID_undef> (equivalently B<EVP_PKEY_NONE>) on error.
132
133EVP_PKEY_set1_engine() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
134
135EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type() returns 1 for success and 0 for error.
136
137=head1 EXAMPLES
138
139After loading an ECC key, it is possible to convert it to using SM2
140algorithms with EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type:
141
142 EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type(pkey, EVP_PKEY_SM2);
