| =head1 NAME |
| |
| OSSL_PROVIDER-base - OpenSSL base provider |
| |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| The OpenSSL base provider supplies the encoding for OpenSSL's |
| asymmetric cryptography. |
| |
| =head2 Properties |
| |
| The implementations in this provider specifically have this property |
| defined: |
| |
| =over 4 |
| |
| =item "provider=base" |
| |
| =back |
| |
| It may be used in a property query string with fetching functions. |
| |
| It isn't mandatory to query for this property, except to make sure to get |
| implementations of this provider and none other. |
| |
| =over 4 |
| |
| =item "type=parameters" |
| |
| =item "type=private" |
| |
| =item "type=public" |
| |
| =back |
| |
| These may be used in a property query string with fetching functions to select |
| which data are to be encoded. Either the private key material, the public |
| key material or the domain parameters can be selected. |
| |
| =over 4 |
| |
| =item "format=der" |
| |
| =item "format=pem" |
| |
| =item "format=text" |
| |
| =back |
| |
| These may be used in a property query string with fetching functions to select |
| the encoding output format. Either the DER, PEM and plaintext are |
| currently permitted. |
| |
| =head1 OPERATIONS AND ALGORITHMS |
| |
| The OpenSSL base provider supports these operations and algorithms: |
| |
| =head2 Asymmetric Key Encoder |
| |
| In addition to "provider=base", some of these encoders define the |
| property "fips=yes", to allow them to be used together with the FIPS |
| provider. |
