6- Key decapsulation using a KEM algorithm with a private key

8=head1 SYNOPSIS
9
10 #include <openssl/evp.h>
11
12 int EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const OSSL_PARAM params[]);
13 int EVP_PKEY_decapsulate(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx,
14                          unsigned char *unwrapped, size_t *unwrappedlen,
15                          const unsigned char *wrapped, size_t wrappedlen);
16
17=head1 DESCRIPTION
18
19The EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init() function initializes a private key algorithm
20context I<ctx> for a decapsulation operation and then sets the I<params>
21on the context in the same way as calling L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3)>.
22Note that I<ctx> usually is produced using L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(3)>,
23specifying the private key to use.
24
25The EVP_PKEY_decapsulate() function performs a private key decapsulation
26operation using I<ctx>. The data to be decapsulated is specified using the
27I<wrapped> and I<wrappedlen> parameters.
28If I<unwrapped> is NULL then the size of the output secret buffer
29is written to I<*unwrappedlen>. If I<unwrapped> is not NULL and the
30call is successful then the decapsulated secret data is written to I<unwrapped>
31and the amount of data written to I<*unwrappedlen>.  Note that, if I<unwrappedlen>
32is not NULL in this call, the value it points to must be initialised to the length of
33I<unwrapped>, so that the call can validate it is of sufficient size to hold the
34result of the operation.
35
36=head1 NOTES
37
38After the call to EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init() algorithm-specific parameters
39for the operation may be set or modified using L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3)>.
40
41=head1 RETURN VALUES
42
43EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init() and EVP_PKEY_decapsulate() return 1 for
44success and 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2
45indicates the operation is not supported by the private key algorithm.

47=head1 EXAMPLES
48
49Decapsulate data using RSA:
50
51 #include <openssl/evp.h>
52
53 /*
54  * NB: assumes rsa_priv_key is an RSA private key,
55  * and that in, inlen are already set up to contain encapsulated data.
56  */
57
58 EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx = NULL;
59 size_t secretlen = 0;
60 unsigned char *secret = NULL;;
61
62 ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(libctx, rsa_priv_key, NULL);
63 if (ctx == NULL)
64     /* Error */
65 if (EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init(ctx, NULL) <= 0)
66     /* Error */
67
68 /* Set the mode - only 'RSASVE' is currently supported */
69 if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_kem_op(ctx, "RSASVE") <= 0)
70     /* Error */
71
72 /* Determine buffer length */
73 if (EVP_PKEY_decapsulate(ctx, NULL, &secretlen, in, inlen) <= 0)
74     /* Error */
75
76 secret = OPENSSL_malloc(secretlen);
77 if (secret == NULL)
78     /* malloc failure */
79
80 /* Decapsulated secret data is secretlen bytes long */
81 if (EVP_PKEY_decapsulaterctx, secret, &secretlen, in, inlen) <= 0)
82     /* Error */
