.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "EVP_PKEY_DERIVE 3"
EVP_PKEY_DERIVE 3 "2023-05-30" "3.0.9" "OpenSSL"
For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
EVP_PKEY_derive_init, EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex, EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex, EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer, EVP_PKEY_derive \- derive public key algorithm shared secret
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/evp.h> \& int EVP_PKEY_derive_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); int EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const OSSL_PARAM params[]); int EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY *peer, int validate_peer); int EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY *peer); int EVP_PKEY_derive(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *key, size_t *keylen); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBEVP_PKEY_derive_init() initializes a public key algorithm context ctx for shared secret derivation using the algorithm given when the context was created using EVP_PKEY_CTX_new\|(3) or variants thereof. The algorithm is used to fetch a \s-1EVP_KEYEXCH\s0 method implicitly, see \*(L"Implicit fetch\*(R" in provider\|(7) for more information about implicit fetches.

\fBEVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() is the same as EVP_PKEY_derive_init() but additionally sets the passed parameters params on the context before returning.

\fBEVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex() sets the peer key: this will normally be a public key. The validate_peer will validate the public key if this value is non zero.

\fBEVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer() is similiar to EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex() with \fIvalidate_peer set to 1.

\fBEVP_PKEY_derive() derives a shared secret using ctx. If key is \s-1NULL\s0 then the maximum size of the output buffer is written to the \fIkeylen parameter. If key is not \s-1NULL\s0 then before the call the keylen parameter should contain the length of the key buffer, if the call is successful the shared secret is written to key and the amount of data written to keylen.

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" After the call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init(), algorithm specific control operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the operation.

The function EVP_PKEY_derive() can be called more than once on the same context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBEVP_PKEY_derive_init() and EVP_PKEY_derive() return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.
"EXAMPLES"
Header "EXAMPLES" Derive shared secret (for example \s-1DH\s0 or \s-1EC\s0 keys):

.Vb 2 #include <openssl/evp.h> #include <openssl/rsa.h> \& EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx; ENGINE *eng; unsigned char *skey; size_t skeylen; EVP_PKEY *pkey, *peerkey; /* NB: assumes pkey, eng, peerkey have been already set up */ \& ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(pkey, eng); if (!ctx) /* Error occurred */ if (EVP_PKEY_derive_init(ctx) <= 0) /* Error */ if (EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer(ctx, peerkey) <= 0) /* Error */ \& /* Determine buffer length */ if (EVP_PKEY_derive(ctx, NULL, &skeylen) <= 0) /* Error */ \& skey = OPENSSL_malloc(skeylen); \& if (!skey) /* malloc failure */ \& if (EVP_PKEY_derive(ctx, skey, &skeylen) <= 0) /* Error */ \& /* Shared secret is skey bytes written to buffer skey */ .Ve

"SEE ALSO"
Header "SEE ALSO" \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_new\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_encrypt\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_sign\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_verify\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover\|(3), \fBEVP_KEYEXCH_fetch\|(3)
"HISTORY"
Header "HISTORY" The EVP_PKEY_derive_init(), EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer() and EVP_PKEY_derive() functions were originally added in OpenSSL 1.0.0.

The EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() and EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex() functions were added in OpenSSL 3.0.
