=head1 NAME

EVP_PKEY_derive_init, EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex,
EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex, EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer, EVP_PKEY_derive
- derive public key algorithm shared secret

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 int EVP_PKEY_derive_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 int EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const OSSL_PARAM params[]);
 int EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY *peer,
                                 int validate_peer);
 int EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY *peer);
 int EVP_PKEY_derive(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *key, size_t *keylen);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

EVP_PKEY_derive_init() initializes a public key algorithm context I<ctx> for
shared secret derivation using the algorithm given when the context was created
using L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(3)> or variants thereof.  The algorithm is used to
fetch a B<EVP_KEYEXCH> method implicitly, see L<provider(7)/Implicit fetch> for
more information about implicit fetches.

EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() is the same as EVP_PKEY_derive_init() but additionally
sets the passed parameters I<params> on the context before returning.

EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex() sets the peer key: this will normally
be a public key. The I<validate_peer> will validate the public key if this value
is non zero.

EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer() is similar to EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex() with
I<validate_peer> set to 1.

EVP_PKEY_derive() derives a shared secret using I<ctx>.
If I<key> is NULL then the maximum size of the output buffer is written to the
I<keylen> parameter. If I<key> is not NULL then before the call the I<keylen>
parameter should contain the length of the I<key> buffer, if the call is
successful the shared secret is written to I<key> and the amount of data
written to I<keylen>.

=head1 NOTES

After the call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init(), algorithm
specific control operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters
for the operation.

The function EVP_PKEY_derive() can be called more than once on the same
context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

EVP_PKEY_derive_init() and EVP_PKEY_derive() 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

Derive shared secret (for example DH or EC keys):

 #include <openssl/evp.h>
 #include <openssl/rsa.h>

 EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx;
 ENGINE *eng;
 unsigned char *skey;
 size_t skeylen;
 EVP_PKEY *pkey, *peerkey;
 /* NB: assumes pkey, eng, peerkey have been already set up */

 ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(pkey, eng);
 if (!ctx)
     /* Error occurred */
 if (EVP_PKEY_derive_init(ctx) <= 0)
     /* Error */
 if (EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer(ctx, peerkey) <= 0)
     /* Error */

 /* Determine buffer length */
 if (EVP_PKEY_derive(ctx, NULL, &skeylen) <= 0)
     /* Error */

 skey = OPENSSL_malloc(skeylen);

 if (!skey)
     /* malloc failure */

 if (EVP_PKEY_derive(ctx, skey, &skeylen) <= 0)
     /* Error */

 /* Shared secret is skey bytes written to buffer skey */

=head1 HISTORY

The EVP_PKEY_derive_init(), EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer() and EVP_PKEY_derive()
functions were originally added in OpenSSL 1.0.0.

The EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() and EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex() functions were
added in OpenSSL 3.0.
