DESCRIPTION

       The KEYMGMT operation doesn't have much public visibility in OpenSSL libraries, it's
       rather an internal operation that's designed to work in tandem with operations that use
       private/public key pairs.

       Because the KEYMGMT operation shares knowledge with the operations it works with in
       tandem, they must belong to the same provider.  The OpenSSL libraries will ensure that
       they do.

       The primary responsibility of the KEYMGMT operation is to hold the provider side key data
       for the OpenSSL library EVP_PKEY structure.

       All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between libcrypto and the
       provider in OSSL_DISPATCH arrays via OSSL_ALGORITHM arrays that are returned by the
       provider's provider_query_operation() function (see "Provider Functions" in
       provider-base(7)).

       All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition named
       OSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn, and a helper function to retrieve the function pointer from a
       OSSL_DISPATCH element named OSSL_FUNC_{name}.  For example, the "function"
       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_new() has these:

        typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_new_fn)(void *provctx);
        static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_new_fn
            OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_new(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);

       OSSL_DISPATCH arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as macros in
       openssl-core_dispatch.h(7), as follows:

   Key Objects
       A key object is a collection of data for an asymmetric key, and is represented as keydata
       in this manual.

       The exact contents of a key object are defined by the provider, and it is assumed that
       different operations in one and the same provider use the exact same structure to
       represent this collection of data, so that for example, a key object that has been created
       using the KEYMGMT interface that we document here can be passed as is to other provider
       operations, such as OP_signature_sign_init() (see provider-signature(7)).

       With some of the KEYMGMT functions, it's possible to select a specific subset of data to
       handle, governed by the bits in a selection indicator.  The bits are:

       OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PRIVATE_KEY
           Indicating that the private key data in a key object should be considered.

       OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PUBLIC_KEY
           Indicating that the public key data in a key object should be considered.

       OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS
           Indicating that the domain parameters in a key object should be considered.

       OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_OTHER_PARAMETERS
           Indicating that other parameters in a key object should be considered.

           Other parameters are key parameters that don't fit any other classification.  In other
           words, this particular selector bit works as a last resort bit bucket selector.

       Some selector bits have also been combined for easier use:

       OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_ALL_PARAMETERS
           Indicating that all key object parameters should be considered, regardless of their
           more granular classification.

           This is a combination of OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS and
           OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_OTHER_PARAMETERS.

       OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_KEYPAIR
           Indicating that both the whole key pair in a key object should be considered, i.e. the
           combination of public and private key.

           This is a combination of OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PRIVATE_KEY and
           OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PUBLIC_KEY.

       OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_ALL
           Indicating that everything in a key object should be considered.

       The exact interpretation of those bits or how they combine is left to each function where
       you can specify a selector.

       It's left to the provider implementation to decide what is reasonable to do with regards
       to received selector bits and how to do it.  Among others, an implementation of
       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_match() might opt to not compare the private half if it has compared the
       public half, since a match of one half implies a match of the other half.

   Constructing and Destructing Functions
       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_new() should create a provider side key object.  The provider context
       provctx is passed and may be incorporated in the key object, but that is not mandatory.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_free() should free the passed keydata.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_init(), OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_set_template(),
       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_set_params(), OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_settable_params(),
       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen() and OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_cleanup() work together as a more
       elaborate context based key object constructor.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_init() should create the key object generation context and
       initialize it with selections, which will determine what kind of contents the key object
       to be generated should get.  The params, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a
       manner similar to using OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_set_params().

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_set_template() should add template to the context genctx.  The
       template is assumed to be a key object constructed with the same KEYMGMT, and from which
       content that the implementation chooses can be used as a template for the key object to be
       generated.  Typically, the generation of a DSA or DH key would get the domain parameters
       from this template.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_set_params() should set additional parameters from params in the key
       object generation context genctx.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_settable_params() should return a constant array of descriptor
       OSSL_PARAM, for parameters that OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_set_params() can handle.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen() should perform the key object generation itself, and return the
       result.  The callback cb should be called at regular intervals with indications on how the
       key object generation progresses.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_cleanup() should clean up and free the key object generation context
       genctx

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_load() creates a provider side key object based on a reference object
       with a size of reference_sz bytes, that only the provider knows how to interpret, but that
       may come from other operations.  Outside the provider, this reference is simply an array
       of bytes.

       At least one of OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_new(), OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen() and
       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_load() are mandatory, as well as OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_free() and
       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_has(). Additionally, if OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen() is present,
       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_init() and OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gen_cleanup() must be present as well.

   Key Object Information Functions
       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_get_params() should extract information data associated with the given
       keydata, see "Common Information Parameters".

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gettable_params() should return a constant array of descriptor
       OSSL_PARAM, for parameters that OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_get_params() can handle.

       If OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gettable_params() is present, OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_get_params() must
       also be present, and vice versa.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_set_params() should update information data associated with the given
       keydata, see "Common Information Parameters".

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_settable_params() should return a constant array of descriptor
       OSSL_PARAM, for parameters that OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_set_params() can handle.

       If OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_settable_params() is present, OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_set_params() must
       also be present, and vice versa.

   Key Object Checking Functions
       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_query_operation_name() should return the name of the supported algorithm
       for the operation operation_id.  This is similar to provider_query_operation() (see
       provider-base(7)), but only works as an advisory.  If this function is not present, or
       returns NULL, the caller is free to assume that there's an algorithm from the same
       provider, of the same name as the one used to fetch the keymgmt and try to use that.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_has() should check whether the given keydata contains the subsets of
       data indicated by the selector.  A combination of several selector bits must consider all
       those subsets, not just one.  An implementation is, however, free to consider an empty
       subset of data to still be a valid subset. For algorithms where some selection is not
       meaningful such as OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS for RSA keys the function should
       just return 1 as the selected subset is not really missing in the key.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_validate() should check if the keydata contains valid data subsets
       indicated by selection.  Some combined selections of data subsets may cause validation of
       the combined data.  For example, the combination of OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PRIVATE_KEY and
       OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PUBLIC_KEY (or OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_KEYPAIR for short) is expected to
       check that the pairwise consistency of keydata is valid. The checktype parameter controls
       what type of check is performed on the subset of data. Two types of check are defined:
       OSSL_KEYMGMT_VALIDATE_FULL_CHECK and OSSL_KEYMGMT_VALIDATE_QUICK_CHECK.  The
       interpretation of how much checking is performed in a full check versus a quick check is
       key type specific. Some providers may have no distinction between a full check and a quick
       check. For algorithms where some selection is not meaningful such as
       OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS for RSA keys the function should just return 1 as
       there is nothing to validate for that selection.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_match() should check if the data subset indicated by selection in
       keydata1 and keydata2 match.  It is assumed that the caller has ensured that keydata1 and
       keydata2 are both owned by the implementation of this function.

   Key Object Import, Export and Duplication Functions
       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import() should import data indicated by selection into keydata with
       values taken from the OSSL_PARAM array params.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export() should extract values indicated by selection from keydata,
       create an OSSL_PARAM array with them and call param_cb with that array as well as the
       given cbarg.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import_types() should return a constant array of descriptor OSSL_PARAM
       for data indicated by selection, for parameters that OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import() can
       handle.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export_types() should return a constant array of descriptor OSSL_PARAM
       for data indicated by selection, that the OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export() callback can expect
       to receive.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_dup() should duplicate data subsets indicated by selection or the whole
       key data keydata_from and create a new provider side key object with the data.

   Common Information Parameters
       See OSSL_PARAM(3) for further details on the parameters structure.

       Common information parameters currently recognised by all built-in keymgmt algorithms are
       as follows:

       "bits" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_BITS) <integer>
           The value should be the cryptographic length of the cryptosystem to which the key
           belongs, in bits.  The definition of cryptographic length is specific to the key
           cryptosystem.

       "max-size" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_MAX_SIZE) <integer>
           The value should be the maximum size that a caller should allocate to safely store a
           signature (called sig in provider-signature(7)), the result of asymmmetric encryption
           / decryption (out in provider-asym_cipher(7), a derived secret (secret in
           provider-keyexch(7), and similar data).

           Because an EVP_KEYMGMT method is always tightly bound to another method (signature,
           asymmetric cipher, key exchange, ...) and must be of the same provider, this number
           only needs to be synchronised with the dimensions handled in the rest of the same
           provider.

       "security-bits" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_SECURITY_BITS) <integer>
           The value should be the number of security bits of the given key.  Bits of security is
           defined in SP800-57.

RETURN VALUES

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_new() and OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_dup() should return a valid reference to the
       newly created provider side key object, or NULL on failure.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import(), OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export(), OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_get_params() and
       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_set_params() should return 1 for success or 0 on error.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_validate() should return 1 on successful validation, or 0 on failure.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_has() should return 1 if all the selected data subsets are contained in
       the given keydata or 0 otherwise.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_query_operation_name() should return a pointer to a string matching the
       requested operation, or NULL if the same name used to fetch the keymgmt applies.

       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_gettable_params() and OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_settable_params()
       OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_import_types(), OSSL_FUNC_keymgmt_export_types() should always return a
       constant OSSL_PARAM array.
