=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
|
|
int EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters(const EVP_PKEY *pkey);
|
|
int EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters(EVP_PKEY *to, const EVP_PKEY *from);
|
|
|
|
int EVP_PKEY_parameters_eq(const EVP_PKEY *a, const EVP_PKEY *b);
|
|
int EVP_PKEY_eq(const EVP_PKEY *a, const EVP_PKEY *b);

|
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
|
|
hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
|
|
see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
|
|
|
|
int EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters(const EVP_PKEY *a, const EVP_PKEY *b);
|
|
int EVP_PKEY_cmp(const EVP_PKEY *a, const EVP_PKEY *b);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The function EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters() returns 1 if the public key
|
|
parameters of B<pkey> are missing and 0 if they are present or the algorithm
|
|
doesn't use parameters.
|
|
|
|
The function EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters() copies the parameters from key
|
|
B<from> to key B<to>. An error is returned if the parameters are missing in
|
|
B<from> or present in both B<from> and B<to> and mismatch. If the parameters
|
|
in B<from> and B<to> are both present and match this function has no effect.
|
|
|
|
The function EVP_PKEY_parameters_eq() checks the parameters of keys
|
|
B<a> and B<b> for equality.
|
|
|
|
The function EVP_PKEY_eq() checks the keys B<a> and B<b> for equality,
|
|
including their parameters if they are available.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The main purpose of the functions EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters() and
|
|
EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters() is to handle public keys in certificates where the
|
|
parameters are sometimes omitted from a public key if they are inherited from
|
|
the CA that signed it.
|
|
|
|
The deprecated functions EVP_PKEY_cmp() and EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters() differ in
|
|
their return values compared to other _cmp() functions. They are aliases for
|
|
EVP_PKEY_eq() and EVP_PKEY_parameters_eq().
|
|
|
|
The function EVP_PKEY_cmp() previously only checked the key parameters
|
|
(if there are any) and the public key, assuming that there always was
|
|
a public key and that private key equality could be derived from that.
|
|
Because it's no longer assumed that the private key in an L<EVP_PKEY(3)> is
|
|
always accompanied by a public key, the comparison can not rely on public
|
|
key comparison alone.
|
|
|
|
Instead, EVP_PKEY_eq() (and therefore also EVP_PKEY_cmp()) now compares:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item 1.
|
|
|
|
the key parameters (if there are any)
|
|
|
|
=item 2.
|
|
|
|
the public keys or the private keys of the two B<EVP_PKEY>s, depending on
|
|
what they both contain.
|
|

=begin comment
|
|
|
|
Exactly what is compared is ultimately at the discretion of the provider
|
|
that holds the key, as they will compare what makes sense to them that fits
|
|
the selector bits they are passed.

=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
The function EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters() returns 1 if the public key
|
|
parameters of B<pkey> are missing and 0 if they are present or the algorithm
|
|
doesn't use parameters.
|
|
|
|
These functions EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters() returns 1 for success and 0 for
|
|
failure.
|
|
|
|
The functions EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters(), EVP_PKEY_parameters_eq(),
|
|
EVP_PKEY_cmp() and EVP_PKEY_eq() return 1 if their
|
|
inputs match, 0 if they don't match, -1 if the key types are different and
|
|
-2 if the operation is not supported.

=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
The EVP_PKEY_cmp() and EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters() functions were deprecated in
|
|
OpenSSL 3.0.
|
|
|
|
The EVP_PKEY_eq() and EVP_PKEY_parameters_eq() were added in OpenSSL 3.0 to
|
|
replace EVP_PKEY_cmp() and EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters().
