(EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl now 30calls these methods internally to interact with providers). 31 32EVP_PKEY_CTX_gettable_params() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_settable_params() get a 33constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> array that describes the gettable and 34settable parameters for the current algorithm implementation, i.e. parameters 35that can be used with EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params() 36respectively. 37These functions must only be called after the EVP_PKEY_CTX has been initialised 38for use in an operation. 39 40=head2 Parameters 41 42Examples of EVP_PKEY parameters include the following: 43 44L<provider-keymgmt(7)/Common parameters> 45L<provider-keyexch(7)/Key Exchange parameters> 46L<provider-signature(7)/Signature parameters> 47 48L<EVP_PKEY-RSA(7)/Common RSA parameters> 49L<EVP_PKEY-RSA(7)/RSA key generation parameters> 50L<EVP_PKEY-FFC(7)/FFC parameters> 51L<EVP_PKEY-FFC(7)/FFC key generation parameters> 52L<EVP_PKEY-DSA(7)/DSA parameters> 53L<EVP_PKEY-DSA(7)/DSA key generation parameters> 54L<EVP_PKEY-DH(7)/DH parameters> 55L<EVP_PKEY-DH(7)/DH key generation parameters> 56L<EVP_PKEY-EC(7)/Common EC parameters> 57L<EVP_PKEY-X25519(7)/Common X25519, X448, ED25519 and ED448 parameters> 58 59=head1 RETURN VALUES 60 61EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params() returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise. 62EVP_PKEY_CTX_settable_params() returns an OSSL_PARAM array on success or NULL on 63error. 64It may also return NULL if there are no settable parameters available. 65 66All other functions and macros described on this page return a positive value 67for success and 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value 68of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm. 69 70=head1 SEE ALSO 71 72L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(3)>, 73L<EVP_PKEY_encrypt(3)>, 74L<EVP_PKEY_decrypt(3)>, 75L<EVP_PKEY_sign(3)>, 76L<EVP_PKEY_verify(3)>, 77L<EVP_PKEY_verify_recover(3)>, 78L<EVP_PKEY_derive(3)>, 79L<EVP_PKEY_keygen(3)> 80 81=head1 HISTORY 82 83All functions were added in OpenSSL 3.0. 84 85=head1 COPYRIGHT 86 87Copyright 2020-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
