30*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery=head1 DESCRIPTION
31*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
32*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_fetch() fetches the implementation for the given B<algorithm> from any
33*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryprovider offering it, within the criteria given by the B<properties> and in the
34*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryscope of the given library context B<ctx> (see L<OSSL_LIB_CTX(3)>). The algorithm
35*b077aed3SPierre Proncherywill be one offering functions for performing asymmetric kem related tasks such
36*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryas key encapsulation and decapsulation.
37*b077aed3SPierre ProncherySee L<crypto(7)/ALGORITHM FETCHING> for further information.
38*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
39*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryThe returned value must eventually be freed with EVP_KEM_free().
40*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
41*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_free() decrements the reference count for the B<EVP_KEM> structure.
42*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryTypically this structure will have been obtained from an earlier call to
43*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_fetch(). If the reference count drops to 0 then the structure is freed.
44*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
45*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_up_ref() increments the reference count for an B<EVP_KEM> structure.
46*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
47*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_is_a() returns 1 if I<kem> is an implementation of an
48*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryalgorithm that's identifiable with I<name>, otherwise 0.
49*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
50*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_get0_provider() returns the provider that I<kem> was fetched from.
51*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
52*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_do_all_provided() traverses all EVP_KEMs implemented by all activated
53*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryproviders in the given library context I<libctx>, and for each of the
54*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryimplementations, calls the given function I<fn> with the implementation method
55*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryand the given I<arg> as argument.
56*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
57*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_get0_name() returns the algorithm name from the provided
58*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryimplementation for the given I<kem>. Note that the I<kem> may have
59*b077aed3SPierre Proncherymultiple synonyms associated with it. In this case the first name from the
60*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryalgorithm definition is returned. Ownership of the returned string is retained
61*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryby the I<kem> object and should not be freed by the caller.
62*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
63*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_names_do_all() traverses all names for I<kem>, and calls I<fn> with
64*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryeach name and I<data>.
65*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
66*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_get0_description() returns a description of the I<kem>, meant for
67*b077aed3SPierre Proncherydisplay and human consumption.  The description is at the discretion of
68*b077aed3SPierre Proncherythe I<kem> implementation.
69*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
70*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_KEM_settable_ctx_params() return
71*b077aed3SPierre Proncherya constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> array that describes the names and types of key
72*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryparameters that can be retrieved or set by a key encapsulation algorithm using
73*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryL<EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params(3)> and L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3)>.
74*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
75*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery=head1 RETURN VALUES
76*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
77*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_fetch() returns a pointer to an B<EVP_KEM> for success or B<NULL> for
78*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryfailure.
79*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
80*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_up_ref() returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise.
81*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
82*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_names_do_all() returns 1 if the callback was called for all names. A
83*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryreturn value of 0 means that the callback was not called for any names.
84*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
85*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEM_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_KEM_settable_ctx_params() return
86*b077aed3SPierre Proncherya constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> array or NULL on error.
