=head1 NAME

EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_init, EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_init, EVP_PKEY_fromdata,
EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_settable, EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_settable
- functions to create key parameters and keys from user data

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 int EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 int EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 int EVP_PKEY_fromdata(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY **ppkey, OSSL_PARAM params[]);
 const OSSL_PARAM *EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_settable(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 const OSSL_PARAM *EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_settable(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The functions described here are used to create new keys from user
provided key data, such as I<n>, I<e> and I<d> for a minimal RSA
keypair.

These functions use an B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> context, which should primarly
be created with L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(3)> or
L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(3)>.

The exact key data that the user can pass depends on the key type.
These are passed as an L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> array.

EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_init() initializes a public key algorithm context
for creating key parameters from user data.

EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_init() initializes a public key algorithm context for
creating a key from user data.

EVP_PKEY_fromdata() creates the structure to store key parameters or a
key, given data from I<params> and a context that's been initialized with
EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_init() or EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_init().  The result is
written to I<*ppkey>. The parameters that can be used for various types of key
are as described by the diverse "Common parameters" sections of the
L<B<EVP_PKEY-RSA>(7)|EVP_PKEY-RSA(7)/Common RSA parameters>,
L<B<EVP_PKEY-DSA>(7)|EVP_PKEY-DSA(7)/Common DSA & DH parameters>,
L<B<EVP_PKEY-DH>(7)|EVP_PKEY-DH(7)/Common DH parameters>,
L<B<EVP_PKEY-EC>(7)|EVP_PKEY-EC(7)/Common EC parameters>,
L<B<EVP_PKEY-ED448>(7)|EVP_PKEY-ED448(7)/Common X25519, X448, ED25519 and ED448 parameters>,
L<B<EVP_PKEY-X25519>(7)|EVP_PKEY-X25519(7)/Common X25519, X448, ED25519 and ED448 parameters>,
L<B<EVP_PKEY-X448>(7)|EVP_PKEY-X448(7)/Common X25519, X448, ED25519 and ED448 parameters>,
and L<B<EVP_PKEY-ED25519>(7)|EVP_PKEY-ED25519(7)/Common X25519, X448, ED25519 and ED448 parameters> pages.

=for comment the awful list of links above is made this way so we get nice
rendering as a man-page while still getting proper links in HTML

EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_settable() and EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_settable()
get a constant B<OSSL_PARAM> array that describes the settable parameters
that can be used with EVP_PKEY_fromdata().
See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for the use of B<OSSL_PARAM> as parameter descriptor.

=head1 NOTES

These functions only work with key management methods coming from a
provider.

=for comment We may choose to make this available for legacy methods too... 

=head1 RETURN VALUES

EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_init(), EVP_PKEY_param_fromdata_init() and
EVP_PKEY_fromdata() 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.

=head1 EXAMPLES

These examples are very terse for the sake of staying on topic, which
is the EVP_PKEY_fromdata() set of functions.  In real applications,
BIGNUMs would be handled and converted to byte arrays with
BN_bn2nativepad(), but that's off topic here.

TODO Write a set of cookbook documents and link to them.

The descriptor L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> returned by
EVP_PKEY_key_fromdata_settable() may also be used programmatically, for
example with L<OSSL_PARAM_allocate_from_text(3)>.
