<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p>The <code>EVP_PKEY_keygen_init()</code> function initializes a public key algorithm
context using key <strong>pkey</strong> for a key generation operation.</p>
<p>The <code>EVP_PKEY_keygen()</code> function performs a key generation operation, the
generated key is written to <strong>ppkey</strong>.</p>
<p>The functions <code>EVP_PKEY_paramgen_init()</code> and <code>EVP_PKEY_paramgen()</code> are similar
except parameters are generated.</p>
<p>The function <code>EVP_PKEY_set_cb()</code> sets the key or parameter generation callback
to <strong>cb</strong>. The function <code>EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_cb()</code> returns the key or parameter
generation callback.</p>
<p>The function <code>EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_keygen_info()</code> returns parameters associated
with the generation operation. If <strong>idx</strong> is -1 the total number of
parameters available is returned. Any non negative value returns the value of
that parameter. <code>EVP_PKEY_CTX_gen_keygen_info()</code> with a nonnegative value for
<strong>idx</strong> should only be called within the generation callback.</p>
<p>If the callback returns 0 then the key generation operation is aborted and an
error occurs. This might occur during a time consuming operation where
a user clicks on a "cancel" button.</p>
<p>The functions <code>EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_app_data()</code> and <code>EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_app_data()</code> set
and retrieve an opaque pointer. This can be used to set some application
defined value which can be retrieved in the callback: for example a handle
which is used to update a "progress dialog".</p>
<p><code>EVP_PKEY_check()</code> validates the key-pair given by <strong>ctx</strong>. This function first tries
to use customized key check method in <strong>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</strong> if it's present; otherwise
it calls a default one defined in <strong>EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD</strong>.</p>
<p><code>EVP_PKEY_public_check()</code> validates the public component of the key-pair given by <strong>ctx</strong>.
This function first tries to use customized key check method in <strong>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</strong>
if it's present; otherwise it calls a default one defined in <strong>EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD</strong>.</p>
<p><code>EVP_PKEY_param_check()</code> validates the algorithm parameters of the key-pair given by <strong>ctx</strong>.
This function first tries to use customized key check method in <strong>EVP_PKEY_METHOD</strong>
if it's present; otherwise it calls a default one defined in <strong>EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD</strong>.</p>

<h1><a name="notes">NOTES</a></h1>
<p>After the call to <code>EVP_PKEY_keygen_init()</code> or <code>EVP_PKEY_paramgen_init()</code> algorithm
specific control operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters
for the operation.</p>
<p>The functions <code>EVP_PKEY_keygen()</code> and <code>EVP_PKEY_paramgen()</code> can be called more than
once on the same context if several operations are performed using the same
parameters.</p>
<p>The meaning of the parameters passed to the callback will depend on the
algorithm and the specific implementation of the algorithm. Some might not
give any useful information at all during key or parameter generation. Others
might not even call the callback.</p>
<p>The operation performed by key or parameter generation depends on the algorithm
used. In some cases (e.g. EC with a supplied named curve) the "generation"
option merely sets the appropriate fields in an EVP_PKEY structure.</p>
<p>In OpenSSL an EVP_PKEY structure containing a private key also contains the
public key components and parameters (if any). An OpenSSL private key is
equivalent to what some libraries call a "key pair". A private key can be used
in functions which require the use of a public key or parameters.</p>

<h1><a name="return_values">RETURN VALUES</a></h1>
<p><code>EVP_PKEY_keygen_init()</code>, <code>EVP_PKEY_paramgen_init()</code>, <code>EVP_PKEY_keygen()</code> and
<code>EVP_PKEY_paramgen()</code> 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.</p>
<p><code>EVP_PKEY_check()</code>, <code>EVP_PKEY_public_check()</code> and <code>EVP_PKEY_param_check()</code> return 1
for success or others for failure. They return -2 if the operation is not supported
for the specific algorithm.</p>
