=head1 NAME

EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init, EVP_PKEY_encapsulate
- Key encapsulation using a public key algorithm

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 int EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const OSSL_PARAM params[]);
 int EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx,
                          unsigned char *out, size_t *outlen,
                          unsigned char *genkey, size_t *genkeylen);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init() function initializes a public key algorithm
context I<ctx> for an encapsulation operation and then sets the I<params>
on the context in the same way as calling L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3)>.

The EVP_PKEY_encapsulate() function performs a public key encapsulation
operation using I<ctx> with the name I<name>.
If I<out> is B<NULL> then the maximum size of the output buffer is written to the
I<*outlen> parameter and the maximum size of the generated key buffer is written
to I<*genkeylen>. If I<out> is not B<NULL> and the call is successful then the
internally generated key is written to I<genkey> and its size is written to
I<*genkeylen>. The encapsulated version of the generated key is written to
I<out> and its size is written to I<*outlen>.

=head1 NOTES

After the call to EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init() algorithm specific parameters
for the operation may be set or modified using L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3)>.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init() and EVP_PKEY_encapsulate() 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

Encapsulate an RSASVE key (for RSA keys).

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 /*
  * NB: assumes rsa_pub_key is an public key of another party.
  */

 EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx = NULL;
 size_t secretlen = 0, outlen = 0;
 unsigned char *out = NULL, *secret = NULL;

 ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(libctx, rsa_pub_key, NULL);
 if (ctx = NULL)
     /* Error */
 if (EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init(ctx, NULL) <= 0)
     /* Error */

 /* Set the mode - only 'RSASVE' is currently supported */
  if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_kem_op(ctx, "RSASVE") <= 0)
     /* Error */
 /* Determine buffer length */
 if (EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(ctx, NULL, &outlen, NULL, &secretlen) <= 0)
     /* Error */

 out = OPENSSL_malloc(outlen);
 secret = OPENSSL_malloc(secretlen);
 if (out == NULL || secret == NULL)
     /* malloc failure */

 /*
  * The generated 'secret' can be used as key material.
  * The encapsulated 'out' can be sent to another party who can
  * decapsulate it using their private key to retrieve the 'secret'.
  */
 if (EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(ctx, out, &outlen, secret, &secretlen) <= 0)
     /* Error */
