EVP_KEYMGMT is a method object that represents key management implementations for different cryptographic algorithms. This method object provides functionality to have providers import key material from the outside, as well as export key material to the outside. Most of the functionality can only be used internally and has no public interface, this object is simply passed into other functions when needed.
EVP_KEYMGMT_fetch() looks for an algorithm within the provider that
has been loaded into the OPENSSL_CTX given by ctx, having the
name given by algorithm and the properties given by properties.
EVP_KEYMGMT_up_ref() increments the reference count for the given
EVP_KEYMGMT keymgmt.
EVP_KEYMGMT_free() decrements the reference count for the given
EVP_KEYMGMT keymgmt, and when the count reaches zero, frees it.
EVP_KEYMGMT_provider() returns the provider that has this particular
implementation.
EVP_KEYMGMT_is_a() checks if keymgmt is an implementation of an
algorithm that's identifiable with name.
EVP_KEYMGMT_number() returns the internal dynamic number assigned to
the keymgmt.
EVP_KEYMGMT_names_do_all() traverses all names for the keymgmt, and
calls fn with each name and data.
EVP_KEYMGMT_do_all_provided() traverses all key keymgmt implementations by
all activated providers in the library context libctx, and for each
of the implementations, calls fn with the implementation method and
data as arguments.
EVP_KEYMGMT_fetch() may be called implicitly by other fetching
functions, using the same library context and properties.
Any other API that uses keys will typically do this.
EVP_KEYMGMT_fetch() returns a pointer to the key management
implementation represented by an EVP_KEYMGMT object, or NULL on
error.
EVP_KEYMGMT_up_ref() returns 1 on success, or 0 on error.
EVP_KEYMGMT_free() doesn't return any value.
EVP_KEYMGMT_provider() returns a pointer to a provider object, or NULL
on error.
EVP_KEYMGMT_is_a() returns 1 of keymgmt was identifiable,
otherwise 0.
EVP_KEYMGMT_number() returns an integer.
