EVP_PKEY_CHECK(3ossl) OpenSSL EVP_PKEY_CHECK(3ossl)

NAME EVP_PKEY_check, EVP_PKEY_param_check, EVP_PKEY_param_check_quick, EVP_PKEY_public_check, EVP_PKEY_public_check_quick, EVP_PKEY_private_check, EVP_PKEY_pairwise_check - key and parameter validation functions
SYNOPSIS #include <openssl/evp.h>
int EVP_PKEY_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); int EVP_PKEY_param_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); int EVP_PKEY_param_check_quick(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); int EVP_PKEY_public_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); int EVP_PKEY_public_check_quick(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); int EVP_PKEY_private_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); int EVP_PKEY_pairwise_check(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
DESCRIPTION EVP_PKEY_param_check() validates the parameters component of the key given by ctx. This check will always succeed for key types that do not have parameters.
EVP_PKEY_param_check_quick() validates the parameters component of the key given by ctx like EVP_PKEY_param_check() does. However some algorithm implementations may offer a quicker form of validation that omits some checks in order to perform a lightweight sanity check of the key. If a quicker form is not provided then this function call does the same thing as EVP_PKEY_param_check().
EVP_PKEY_public_check() validates the public component of the key given by ctx.
EVP_PKEY_public_check_quick() validates the public component of the key given by ctx like EVP_PKEY_public_check() does. However some algorithm implementations may offer a quicker form of validation that omits some checks in order to perform a lightweight sanity check of the key. If a quicker form is not provided then this function call does the same thing as EVP_PKEY_public_check().
EVP_PKEY_private_check() validates the private component of the key given by ctx.
EVP_PKEY_pairwise_check() validates that the public and private components have the correct mathematical relationship to each other for the key given by ctx.
EVP_PKEY_check() is an alias for the EVP_PKEY_pairwise_check() function.
NOTES Key validation used by the OpenSSL FIPS provider complies with the rules within SP800-56A and SP800-56B. For backwards compatibility reasons the OpenSSL default provider may use checks that are not as restrictive for certain key types. For further information see "DSA key validation" in EVP_PKEY-DSA(7), "DH key validation" in EVP_PKEY-DH(7), "EC key validation" in EVP_PKEY-EC(7) and "RSA key
RETURN VALUES All functions return 1 for success or others for failure. They return -2 if the operation is not supported for the specific algorithm.

HISTORY EVP_PKEY_check(), EVP_PKEY_public_check() and EVP_PKEY_param_check() were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
EVP_PKEY_param_check_quick(), EVP_PKEY_public_check_quick(), EVP_PKEY_private_check() and EVP_PKEY_pairwise_check() were added in OpenSSL 3.0.
