NAME

EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_keygen_md, EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_keygen_mgf1_md, EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_keygen_saltlen - EVP_PKEY RSA-PSS algorithm support functions

SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/rsa.h>
 
 int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_keygen_md(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx,
                                        const EVP_MD *md);
 int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_keygen_mgf1_md(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx,
                                             const EVP_MD *md);
 int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_keygen_saltlen(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx,
                                             int saltlen);

DESCRIPTION

These are the functions that implement Signing and Verification

The macro EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_padding() is supported but an error is returned if an attempt is made to set the padding mode to anything other than PSS. It is otherwise similar to the RSA version.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_saltlen() macro is used to set the salt length. If the key has usage restrictions then an error is returned if an attempt is made to set the salt length below the minimum value. It is otherwise similar to the RSA operation except detection of the salt length (using RSA_PSS_SALTLEN_AUTO) is not supported for verification if the key has usage restrictions.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_mgf1_md(3) fuunctions are used to set the digest and MGF1 algorithms respectively. If the key has usage restrictions then an error is returned if an attempt is made to set the digest to anything other than the restricted value. Otherwise these are similar to the RSA versions.

Key Generation

As with RSA key generation the EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_bits() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_pubexp() macros are supported for RSA-PSS: they have exactly the same meaning as for the RSA algorithm.

Optional parameter restrictions can be specified when generating a PSS key. If any restrictions are set (using the macros described below) then all parameters are restricted. For example, setting a minimum salt length also restricts the digest and MGF1 algorithms. If any restrictions are in place then they are reflected in the corresponding parameters of the public key when (for example) a certificate request is signed.

EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_keygen_md() restricts the digest algorithm the generated key can use to md.

EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_keygen_mgf1_md() restricts the MGF1 algorithm the generated key can use to md.

EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_keygen_saltlen() restricts the minimum salt length to saltlen.

NOTES

A context for the RSA-PSS algorithm can be obtained by calling:

 EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_RSA_PSS, NULL);

RETURN VALUES

All these functions 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.
