Either the private key material, the public 40key material or the domain parameters can be selected. 41 42=over 4 43 44=item "format=der" 45 46=item "format=pem" 47 48=item "format=text" 49 50=back 51 52These may be used in a property query string with fetching functions to select 53the encoding output format. Either the DER, PEM and plaintext are 54currently permitted. 55 56=head1 OPERATIONS AND ALGORITHMS 57 58The OpenSSL base provider supports these operations and algorithms: 59 60=head2 Random Number Generation 61 62=over 4 63 64=item SEED-SRC, see L<EVP_RAND-SEED-SRC(7)> 65 66=item JITTER, see L<EVP_RAND-JITTER(7)> 67 68=back 69 70In addition to this provider, the "SEED-SRC" and "JITTER" algorithms 71are also available in the default provider. 72 73=head2 Asymmetric Key Encoder 74 75=over 4 76 77=item RSA 78 79=item RSA-PSS 80 81=item DH 82 83=item DHX 84 85=item DSA 86 87=item EC 88 89=item ED25519 90 91=item ED448 92 93=item X25519 94 95=item X448 96 97=item SM2 98 99=back 100 101In addition to this provider, all of these encoding algorithms are also 102available in the default provider. Some of these algorithms may be used in 103combination with the FIPS provider. 104 105=head2 Asymmetric Key Decoder 106 107=over 4 108 109=item RSA 110 111=item RSA-PSS 112 113=item DH 114 115=item DHX 116 117=item DSA 118 119=item EC 120 121=item ED25519 122 123=item ED448 124 125=item X25519 126 127=item X448 128 129=item SM2 130 131=item DER 132 133=back 134 135In addition to this provider, all of these decoding algorithms are also 136available in the default provider. Some of these algorithms may be used in 137combination with the FIPS provider. 138 139=head2 Stores 140 141=over 4 142 143=item file 144 145=item org.openssl.winstore, see L<OSSL_STORE-winstore(7)> 146 147=back 148 149In addition to this provider, all of these store algorithms are also 150available in the default provider. 151 152=head1 SEE ALSO 153 154L<OSSL_PROVIDER-default(7)>, L<openssl-core.h(7)>, 155L<openssl-core_dispatch.h(7)>, L<provider(7)> 156 157=head1 HISTORY 158 159This functionality was added in OpenSSL 3.0. 160 161=head1 COPYRIGHT 162 163Copyright 2020-2024 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
