NAME
EVP_ASYM_CIPHER-RSA - RSA Asymmetric Cipher algorithm support
DESCRIPTION
Asymmetric Cipher support for the RSA key type.
RSA Asymmetric Cipher parameters
"pad-mode" (OSSL_ASYM_CIPHER_PARAM_PAD_MODE) <UTF8 string>
The default provider understands these RSA padding modes in string
form:
"none" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_NONE)
"oaep" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_OAEP)
"pkcs1" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_PKCSV15)
This padding mode is no longer supported by the FIPS provider
for key agreement and key transport. (This is a FIPS 140-3
requirement). See "OPTIONS" in openssl-fipsinstall(1)
-rsa_pkcs15_pad_disabled.
"x931" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_X931)
"pad-mode" (OSSL_ASYM_CIPHER_PARAM_PAD_MODE) <integer>
The default provider understands these RSA padding modes in integer
form:
1 (RSA_PKCS1_PADDING)
This padding mode is no longer supported by the FIPS provider
for key agreement and key transport. (This is a FIPS 140-3
requirement)
3 (RSA_NO_PADDING)
4 (RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING)
5 (RSA_X931_PADDING)
See EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_padding(3) for further details.
"digest" (OSSL_ASYM_CIPHER_PARAM_OAEP_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
"digest-props" (OSSL_ASYM_CIPHER_PARAM_OAEP_DIGEST_PROPS) <UTF8 string>
"mgf1-digest" (OSSL_ASYM_CIPHER_PARAM_MGF1_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
"mgf1-digest-props" (OSSL_ASYM_CIPHER_PARAM_MGF1_DIGEST_PROPS) <UTF8
string>
"oaep-label" (OSSL_ASYM_CIPHER_PARAM_OAEP_LABEL) <octet string>
"tls-client-version" (OSSL_ASYM_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS_CLIENT_VERSION)
<unsigned integer>
See RSA_PKCS1_WITH_TLS_PADDING on the page
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_padding(3).
"tls-negotiated-version" (OSSL_ASYM_CIPHER_PARAM_TLS_CLIENT_VERSION)
<unsigned integer>
See RSA_PKCS1_WITH_TLS_PADDING on the page
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_padding(3).
See "Asymmetric Cipher Parameters" in provider-asym_cipher(7) for
more information.
The OpenSSL FIPS provider also supports the following parameters:
"fips-indicator" (OSSL_ASYM_CIPHER_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR)
<integer>
"key-check" (OSSL_ASYM_CIPHER_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK) <integer>
See "Asymmetric Cipher Parameters" in provider-asym_cipher(7) for
more information.
"pkcs15-pad-disabled"
(OSSL_ASYM_CIPHER_PARAM_FIPS_RSA_PKCS15_PAD_DISABLED) <integer>
The default value of 1 causes an error during encryption if the RSA
padding mode is set to "pkcs1". Setting this to zero will ignore
the error and set the approved "fips-indicator" to 0. This option
breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator" to
return 0.
