=head1 DESCRIPTION

The function EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl() sends a control operation to the context
B<ctx>. The key type used must match B<keytype> if it is not -1. The parameter
B<optype> is a mask indicating which operations the control can be applied to.
The control command is indicated in B<cmd> and any additional arguments in
B<p1> and B<p2>.

For B<cmd> = B<EVP_PKEY_CTRL_SET_MAC_KEY>, B<p1> is the length of the MAC key,
and B<p2> is MAC key. This is used by Poly1305, SipHash, HMAC and CMAC.

Applications will not normally call EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl() directly but will
instead call one of the algorithm specific macros below.

The function EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl_str() allows an application to send an algorithm
specific control operation to a context B<ctx> in string form. This is
intended to be used for options specified on the command line or in text
files. The commands supported are documented in the openssl utility
command line pages for the option B<-pkeyopt> which is supported by the
B<pkeyutl>, B<genpkey> and B<req> commands.

All the remaining "functions" are implemented as macros.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_signature_md() macro sets the message digest type used
in a signature. It can be used with any public key algorithm supporting
signature operations.

The macro EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_padding() sets the RSA padding mode for B<ctx>.
The B<pad> parameter can take the value RSA_PKCS1_PADDING for PKCS#1 padding,
RSA_SSLV23_PADDING for SSLv23 padding, RSA_NO_PADDING for no padding,
RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING for OAEP padding (encrypt and decrypt only),
RSA_X931_PADDING for X9.31 padding (signature operations only) and
RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING (sign and verify only).

Two RSA padding modes behave differently if EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_signature_md()
is used. If this macro is called for PKCS#1 padding the plaintext buffer is
an actual digest value and is encapsulated in a DigestInfo structure according
to PKCS#1 when signing and this structure is expected (and stripped off) when
verifying. If this control is not used with RSA and PKCS#1 padding then the
supplied data is used directly and not encapsulated. In the case of X9.31
padding for RSA the algorithm identifier byte is added or checked and removed
if this control is called. If it is not called then the first byte of the plaintext
buffer is expected to be the algorithm identifier byte.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_saltlen() macro sets the RSA PSS salt length to
B<len> as its name implies it is only supported for PSS padding.  Three special
values are supported: RSA_PSS_SALTLEN_DIGEST sets the salt length to the
digest length, RSA_PSS_SALTLEN_MAX sets the salt length to the maximum
permissible value. When verifying RSA_PSS_SALTLEN_AUTO causes the salt length
to be automatically determined based on the B<PSS> block structure. If this
macro is not called maximum salt length is used when signing and auto detection
when verifying is used by default.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_rsa_keygen_bits() macro sets the RSA key length for
RSA key generation to B<bits>. If not specified 1024 bits is used.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_pubexp() macro sets the public exponent value
for RSA key generation to B<pubexp> currently it should be an odd integer. The
B<pubexp> pointer is used internally by this function so it should not be
modified or free after the call. If this macro is not called then 65537 is used.

The macro EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dsa_paramgen_bits() sets the number of bits used
for DSA parameter generation to B<bits>. If not specified 1024 is used.

The macro EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_paramgen_prime_len() sets the length of the DH
prime parameter B<p> for DH parameter generation. If this macro is not called
then 1024 is used.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_paramgen_generator() macro sets DH generator to B<gen>
for DH parameter generation. If not specified 2 is used.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ec_paramgen_curve_nid() sets the EC curve for EC parameter
generation to B<nid>. For EC parameter generation this macro must be called
or an error occurs because there is no default curve.
This function can also be called to set the curve explicitly when
generating an EC key.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ec_param_enc() sets the EC parameter encoding to
B<param_enc> when generating EC parameters or an EC key. The encoding can be
B<OPENSSL_EC_EXPLICIT_CURVE> for explicit parameters (the default in versions
of OpenSSL before 1.1.0) or B<OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE> to use named curve form.
For maximum compatibility the named curve form should be used. Note: the
B<OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE> value was only added to OpenSSL 1.1.0; previous
versions should use 0 instead.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl() and its macros return a positive value 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.
