Either the private key material, the public 40key material or the domain parameters can be selected. 41 42=over 4 43 44=item "format=der" 45 46=item "format=pem" 47 48=item "format=text" 49 50=back 51 52These may be used in a property query string with fetching functions to select 53the encoding output format. Either the DER, PEM and plaintext are 54currently permitted. 55 56=head1 OPERATIONS AND ALGORITHMS 57 58The OpenSSL base provider supports these operations and algorithms: 59 60=head2 Asymmetric Key Encoder 61 62In addition to "provider=base", some of these encoders define the 63property "fips=yes", to allow them to be used together with the FIPS 64provider. 65 66=over 4 67 68=item RSA, see L<OSSL_ENCODER-RSA(7)> 69 70=item DH, see L<OSSL_ENCODER-DH(7)> 71 72=item DSA, see L<OSSL_ENCODER-DSA(7)> 73 74=item EC, see L<OSSL_ENCODER-EC(7)> 75 76=item X25519, see L<OSSL_ENCODER-X25519(7)> 77 78=item X448, see L<OSSL_ENCODER-X448(7)> 79 80=back 81 82=head1 SEE ALSO 83 84L<OSSL_PROVIDER-default(7)>, L<openssl-core.h(7)>, 85L<openssl-core_dispatch.h(7)>, L<provider(7)> 86 87=head1 HISTORY 88 89This functionality was added in OpenSSL 3.0. 90 91=head1 COPYRIGHT 92 93Copyright 2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
