=head1 SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 #include <openssl/evp.h>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 int EVP_PKEY_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 | 
						|
 int EVP_PKEY_param_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 | 
						|
 int EVP_PKEY_param_check_quick(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 | 
						|
 int EVP_PKEY_public_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 | 
						|
 int EVP_PKEY_public_check_quick(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 | 
						|
 int EVP_PKEY_private_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 | 
						|
 int EVP_PKEY_pairwise_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);

 | 
						|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
EVP_PKEY_param_check() validates the parameters component of the key
 | 
						|
given by B<ctx>. This check will always succeed for key types that do not have
 | 
						|
parameters.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
EVP_PKEY_param_check_quick() validates the parameters component of the key
 | 
						|
given by B<ctx> like EVP_PKEY_param_check() does. However some algorithm
 | 
						|
implementations may offer a quicker form of validation that omits some checks in
 | 
						|
order to perform a lightweight sanity check of the key. If a quicker form is not
 | 
						|
provided then this function call does the same thing as EVP_PKEY_param_check().
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
EVP_PKEY_public_check() validates the public component of the key given by B<ctx>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
EVP_PKEY_public_check_quick() validates the public component of the key
 | 
						|
given by B<ctx> like EVP_PKEY_public_check() does. However some algorithm
 | 
						|
implementations may offer a quicker form of validation that omits some checks in
 | 
						|
order to perform a lightweight sanity check of the key. If a quicker form is not
 | 
						|
provided then this function call does the same thing as EVP_PKEY_public_check().
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
EVP_PKEY_private_check() validates the private component of the key given by B<ctx>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
EVP_PKEY_pairwise_check() validates that the public and private components have
 | 
						|
the correct mathematical relationship to each other for the key given by B<ctx>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
EVP_PKEY_check() validates all components of a key given by B<ctx>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 NOTES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Refer to SP800-56A and SP800-56B for rules relating to when these functions
 | 
						|
should be called during key establishment.
 | 
						|
It is not necessary to call these functions after locally calling an approved key
 | 
						|
generation method, but may be required for assurance purposes when receiving
 | 
						|
keys from a third party.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All functions return 1 for success or others for failure.
 | 
						|
They return -2 if the operation is not supported for the specific algorithm.

=head1 HISTORY
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
EVP_PKEY_check(), EVP_PKEY_public_check() and EVP_PKEY_param_check() were added
 | 
						|
in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
EVP_PKEY_param_check_quick(), EVP_PKEY_public_check_quick(),
 | 
						|
EVP_PKEY_private_check() and EVP_PKEY_pairwise_check() were added in OpenSSL 3.0.
