=head1 DESCRIPTION

This documentation is primarily aimed at provider authors. See L<provider(7)>
for further information.

The asymmetric kem (OSSL_OP_KEM) operation enables providers to
implement asymmetric kem algorithms and make them available to applications
via the API functions L<EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(3)>,
L<EVP_PKEY_decapsulate(3)> and other related functions.

All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
F<libcrypto> and the provider in L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> arrays via
L<OSSL_ALGORITHM(3)> arrays that are returned by the provider's
provider_query_operation() function
(see L<provider-base(7)/Provider Functions>).

All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition
named B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn>, and a helper function to retrieve the
function pointer from an L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> element named
B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}>.
For example, the "function" OSSL_FUNC_kem_newctx() has these:

 typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_kem_newctx_fn)(void *provctx);
 static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_kem_newctx_fn
     OSSL_FUNC_kem_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);

L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as
macros in L<openssl-core_dispatch.h(7)>, as follows:

 OSSL_FUNC_kem_newctx                OSSL_FUNC_KEM_NEWCTX
 OSSL_FUNC_kem_freectx               OSSL_FUNC_KEM_FREECTX
 OSSL_FUNC_kem_dupctx                OSSL_FUNC_KEM_DUPCTX

 OSSL_FUNC_kem_encapsulate_init      OSSL_FUNC_KEM_ENCAPSULATE_INIT
 OSSL_FUNC_kem_auth_encapsulate_init OSSL_FUNC_KEM_AUTH_ENCAPSULATE_INIT
 OSSL_FUNC_kem_encapsulate           OSSL_FUNC_KEM_ENCAPSULATE

 OSSL_FUNC_kem_decapsulate_init      OSSL_FUNC_KEM_DECAPSULATE_INIT
 OSSL_FUNC_kem_auth_decapsulate_init OSSL_FUNC_KEM_AUTH_DECAPSULATE_INIT
 OSSL_FUNC_kem_decapsulate           OSSL_FUNC_KEM_DECAPSULATE

 OSSL_FUNC_kem_get_ctx_params        OSSL_FUNC_KEM_GET_CTX_PARAMS
 OSSL_FUNC_kem_gettable_ctx_params   OSSL_FUNC_KEM_GETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS
 OSSL_FUNC_kem_set_ctx_params        OSSL_FUNC_KEM_SET_CTX_PARAMS
 OSSL_FUNC_kem_settable_ctx_params   OSSL_FUNC_KEM_SETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS

An asymmetric kem algorithm implementation may not implement all of these
functions.
In order to be a consistent set of functions a provider must implement
OSSL_FUNC_kem_newctx and OSSL_FUNC_kem_freectx.
It must also implement both of OSSL_FUNC_kem_encapsulate_init and
OSSL_FUNC_kem_encapsulate, or both of OSSL_FUNC_kem_decapsulate_init and
OSSL_FUNC_kem_decapsulate.
OSSL_FUNC_kem_auth_encapsulate_init is optional but if it is present then so
must OSSL_FUNC_kem_auth_decapsulate_init.
OSSL_FUNC_kem_get_ctx_params is optional but if it is present then so must
OSSL_FUNC_kem_gettable_ctx_params.
Similarly, OSSL_FUNC_kem_set_ctx_params is optional but if it is present then
OSSL_FUNC_kem_settable_ctx_params must also be present.

An asymmetric kem algorithm must also implement some mechanism for generating,
loading or importing keys via the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation.
See L<provider-keymgmt(7)> for further details.

=head2 Context Management Functions

OSSL_FUNC_kem_newctx() should create and return a pointer to a provider side
structure for holding context information during an asymmetric kem operation.
A pointer to this context will be passed back in a number of the other
asymmetric kem operation function calls.
The parameter I<provctx> is the provider context generated during provider
initialisation (see L<provider(7)>).

OSSL_FUNC_kem_freectx() is passed a pointer to the provider side asymmetric
kem context in the I<ctx> parameter.
This function should free any resources associated with that context.

OSSL_FUNC_kem_dupctx() should duplicate the provider side asymmetric kem
context in the I<ctx> parameter and return the duplicate copy.

=head2 Asymmetric Key Encapsulation Functions

OSSL_FUNC_kem_encapsulate_init() initialises a context for an asymmetric
encapsulation given a provider side asymmetric kem context in the I<ctx>
parameter, a pointer to a provider key object in the I<provkey> parameter and
the I<name> of the algorithm.
The I<params>, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to
using OSSL_FUNC_kem_set_ctx_params().
The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into
the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see
provider-keymgmt(7)>.

OSSL_FUNC_kem_auth_encapsulate_init() is similar to
OSSL_FUNC_kem_encapsulate_init(), but also passes an additional authentication
key I<provauthkey> which cannot be NULL.

OSSL_FUNC_kem_encapsulate() performs the actual encapsulation itself.
A previously initialised asymmetric kem context is passed in the I<ctx>
parameter.
Unless I<out> is NULL, the data to be encapsulated is internally generated,
and returned into the buffer pointed to by the I<secret> parameter and the
encapsulated data should also be written to the location pointed to by the
I<out> parameter. The length of the encapsulated data should be written to
I<*outlen> and the length of the generated secret should be written to
I<*secretlen>.

If I<out> is NULL then the maximum length of the encapsulated data should be
written to I<*outlen>, and the maximum length of the generated secret should be
written to I<*secretlen>.

=head2 Decapsulation Functions

OSSL_FUNC_kem_decapsulate_init() initialises a context for an asymmetric
decapsulation given a provider side asymmetric kem context in the I<ctx>
parameter, a pointer to a provider key object in the I<provkey> parameter, and
a I<name> of the algorithm.
The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into
the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see
provider-keymgmt(7)>.

OSSL_FUNC_kem_auth_decapsulate_init() is similar to
OSSL_FUNC_kem_decapsulate_init(), but also passes an additional authentication
key I<provauthkey> which cannot be NULL.

OSSL_FUNC_kem_decapsulate() performs the actual decapsulation itself.
A previously initialised asymmetric kem context is passed in the I<ctx>
parameter.
The data to be decapsulated is pointed to by the I<in> parameter which is I<inlen>
bytes long.
Unless I<out> is NULL, the decapsulated data should be written to the location
pointed to by the I<out> parameter.
The length of the decapsulated data should be written to I<*outlen>.
If I<out> is NULL then the maximum length of the decapsulated data should be
written to I<*outlen>.

=head2 Asymmetric Key Encapsulation Parameters

See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for further details on the parameters structure used by
the OSSL_FUNC_kem_get_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_kem_set_ctx_params()
functions.

OSSL_FUNC_kem_get_ctx_params() gets asymmetric kem parameters associated
with the given provider side asymmetric kem context I<ctx> and stores them in
I<params>.
Passing NULL for I<params> should return true.

OSSL_FUNC_kem_set_ctx_params() sets the asymmetric kem parameters associated
with the given provider side asymmetric kem context I<ctx> to I<params>.
Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set.
Passing NULL for I<params> should return true.

No parameters are currently recognised by built-in asymmetric kem algorithms.

OSSL_FUNC_kem_gettable_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_kem_settable_ctx_params()
get a constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> array that describes the gettable and settable
parameters, i.e. parameters that can be used with OSSL_FUNC_kem_get_ctx_params()
and OSSL_FUNC_kem_set_ctx_params() respectively.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

OSSL_FUNC_kem_newctx() and OSSL_FUNC_kem_dupctx() should return the newly
created provider side asymmetric kem context, or NULL on failure.

All other functions should return 1 for success or 0 on error.
