EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_init, EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_init, EVP_PKEY_fromdata, EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_settable, EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_settable - functions to create key parameters and keys from user data
#include <openssl/evp.h>
int EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int EVP_PKEY_fromdata(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY **ppkey, OSSL_PARAM params[]);
const OSSL_PARAM *EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_settable(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
const OSSL_PARAM *EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_settable(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_init() initializes a public key algorithm context for creating key parameters from user data.
EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_init() initializes a public key algorithm context for creating a key from user data.
EVP_PKEY_fromdata() creates key parameters or a key, given data from params and a context that's been initialized with EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_init() or EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_init(). The result is written to *ppkey. The parameters that can be used for various types of key are as described in the "Built-in RSA Import/Export Types" section on the OSSL_PARAM(3) for the use of OSSL_PARAM as parameter descriptor.
These functions only work with key management methods coming from a provider.
EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_init(), EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_init() and EVP_PKEY_fromdata() return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.
These functions were added in OpenSSL 3.0.
