EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init, EVP_PKEY_decrypt - decrypt using a public key algorithm

18
The EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init() function initializes a public key algorithm
19
context using key B<pkey> for a decryption operation.
21
The EVP_PKEY_decrypt() function performs a public key decryption operation
22
using B<ctx>. The data to be decrypted is specified using the B<in> and
23
B<inlen> parameters. If B<out> is B<NULL> then the maximum size of the output
24
buffer is written to the B<outlen> parameter. If B<out> is not B<NULL> then
25
before the call the B<outlen> parameter should contain the length of the
26
B<out> buffer, if the call is successful the decrypted data is written to
27
B<out> and the amount of data written to B<outlen>.
31
After the call to EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init() algorithm specific control
32
operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the
35
The function EVP_PKEY_decrypt() can be called more than once on the same
36
context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.
40
EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init() and EVP_PKEY_decrypt() return 1 for success and 0
41
or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2
42
indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.
