5EVP_PKEY-SM2, EVP_KEYMGMT-SM2, SM2
6- EVP_PKEY keytype support for the Chinese SM2 signature and encryption algorithms

8=head1 DESCRIPTION
9
10The B<SM2> algorithm was first defined by the Chinese national standard GM/T
110003-2012 and was later standardized by ISO as ISO/IEC 14888. B<SM2> is actually
12an elliptic curve based algorithm. The current implementation in OpenSSL supports
13both signature and encryption schemes via the EVP interface.
14
15When doing the B<SM2> signature algorithm, it requires a distinguishing identifier
16to form the message prefix which is hashed before the real message is hashed.
17
18=head2 Common SM2 parameters
19
20SM2 uses the parameters defined in L<EVP_PKEY-EC(7)/Common EC parameters>.
21The following parameters are different:
22
23=over 4
24
25=item "cofactor" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_COFACTOR>) <unsigned integer>
26
27This parameter is ignored for B<SM2>.
28
29=item (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_DEFAULT_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>
30
31Getter that returns the default digest name.
32(Currently returns "SM3" as of OpenSSL 3.0).

36=head1 NOTES
37
38B<SM2> signatures can be generated by using the 'DigestSign' series of APIs, for
39instance, EVP_DigestSignInit(), EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and EVP_DigestSignFinal().
40Ditto for the verification process by calling the 'DigestVerify' series of APIs.
41
42Before computing an B<SM2> signature, an B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> needs to be created,
43and an B<SM2> ID must be set for it, like this:
44
45 EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_id(pctx, id, id_len);
46
47Before calling the EVP_DigestSignInit() or EVP_DigestVerifyInit() functions,
48that B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> should be assigned to the B<EVP_MD_CTX>, like this:
49
50 EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx(mctx, pctx);
51
52There is normally no need to pass a B<pctx> parameter to EVP_DigestSignInit()
53or EVP_DigestVerifyInit() in such a scenario.
54
55SM2 can be tested with the L<openssl-speed(1)> application since version 3.0.
56Currently, the only valid algorithm name is B<sm2>.
57
58Since version 3.0, SM2 keys can be generated and loaded only when the domain
59parameters specify the SM2 elliptic curve.

61=head1 EXAMPLES
62
63This example demonstrates the calling sequence for using an B<EVP_PKEY> to verify
64a message with the SM2 signature algorithm and the SM3 hash algorithm:
65
66 #include <openssl/evp.h>
67
68 /* obtain an EVP_PKEY using whatever methods... */
69 mctx = EVP_MD_CTX_new();
70 pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(pkey, NULL);
71 EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_id(pctx, id, id_len);
72 EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx(mctx, pctx);
73 EVP_DigestVerifyInit(mctx, NULL, EVP_sm3(), NULL, pkey);
74 EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate(mctx, msg, msg_len);
75 EVP_DigestVerifyFinal(mctx, sig, sig_len)
