EVP_PKEY_ENCAPSULATE(3ossl)         OpenSSL        EVP_PKEY_ENCAPSULATE(3ossl)



NAME

       EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init, EVP_PKEY_auth_encapsulate_init,
       EVP_PKEY_encapsulate - Key encapsulation using a KEM algorithm with a
       public key


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/evp.h>

        int EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const OSSL_PARAM params[]);
        int EVP_PKEY_auth_encapsulate_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY *authpriv,
                                          const OSSL_PARAM params[]);
        int EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx,
                                 unsigned char *wrappedkey, size_t *wrappedkeylen,
                                 unsigned char *genkey, size_t *genkeylen);


DESCRIPTION

       The EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init() function initializes a public key
       algorithm context ctx for an encapsulation operation and then sets the
       params on the context in the same way as calling
       EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3).  Note that ctx is usually is produced using
       EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(3), specifying the public key to use.

       The EVP_PKEY_auth_encapsulate_init() function is similar to
       EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init() but also passes an authpriv authentication
       private key that is used during encapsulation.

       The EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(3) function performs a public key encapsulation
       operation using ctx.  The symmetric secret generated in genkey can be
       used as key material.  The ciphertext in wrappedkey is its encapsulated
       form, which can be sent to another party, who can use
       EVP_PKEY_decapsulate(3) to retrieve it using their private key.  If
       wrappedkey is NULL then the maximum size of the output buffer is
       written to the *wrappedkeylen parameter unless wrappedkeylen is NULL
       and the maximum size of the generated key buffer is written to
       *genkeylen unless genkeylen is NULL. If wrappedkey is not NULL and the
       call is successful then the internally generated key is written to
       genkey and its size is written to *genkeylen. The encapsulated version
       of the generated key is written to wrappedkey and its size is written
       to *wrappedkeylen.  Note that if wrappedlen is not NULL, then the value
       it points to must initially hold the size of the  unwrapped buffer so
       that its size can be validated by the call, ensuring it is large enough
       to hold the result written to wrapped.


NOTES

       After the call to EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init() algorithm-specific
       parameters for the operation may be set or modified using
       EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3).


RETURN VALUES

       EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init(), EVP_PKEY_auth_encapsulate_init() and
       EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(3) 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

       Encapsulate an RSASVE key (for RSA keys).

        #include <openssl/evp.h>

        /*
         * NB: assumes rsa_pub_key is an public key of another party.
         */

        EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx = NULL;
        size_t secretlen = 0, outlen = 0;
        unsigned char *out = NULL, *secret = NULL;

        ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(libctx, rsa_pub_key, NULL);
        if (ctx == NULL)
            /* Error */
        if (EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init(ctx, NULL) <= 0)
            /* Error */

        /* Set the mode - only 'RSASVE' is currently supported */
         if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_kem_op(ctx, "RSASVE") <= 0)
            /* Error */
        /* Determine buffer length */
        if (EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(ctx, NULL, &outlen, NULL, &secretlen) <= 0)
            /* Error */

        out = OPENSSL_malloc(outlen);
        secret = OPENSSL_malloc(secretlen);
        if (out == NULL || secret == NULL)
            /* malloc failure */

        /*
         * The generated 'secret' can be used as key material.
         * The encapsulated 'out' can be sent to another party who can
         * decapsulate it using their private key to retrieve the 'secret'.
         */
        if (EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(ctx, out, &outlen, secret, &secretlen) <= 0)
            /* Error */
